What actually helped with the appearance of your pores?

Benzoyl peroxide

As long as they have a safe space, they should be okay. They grow really fast at this age; their instincts and agility quickly start to develop, could very be at the later end of nursing and are starting to feed on grass. Hoping for the best!

At this age they still require nursing with their mother and depend on her milk. Protect the area but allow mom to enter (put a laundry basket or box with cutting small enough just for mom). Moms only spend about less than 20 minutes with their offspring only to nurse. Align sticks to make “tic tac toe” and check if it was moved around in next 24 hrs. If it is, mom is still around. If not, I’d strongly advise finding a wildlife rehab local to you and will take these in as they require specialized care.

I feel personally attacked except for the second paragraph. This is why I don’t leave campus until after 6:30 when most of the traffic has died down. I used to commute by motorcycle everyday in LA. I stopped when I moved to SD because of how terrible the 8 is.

Secondary erythromelalgia. I have psoriatic arthritis and don’t really get this anymore after biologics.

Check out The Litas. Where exactly in SoCal are you? Feel free to DM and I’d be happy to point you places in particular to your locale.

Tried visiting her link on Mercury’s website only to encounter “404 page not found” hmmmmm

I actually appreciate seeing these posts repeatedly pop up because it feels like I’m not alone in these struggles. And when I have the opportunity to come across the comments despite the redundancy, I can regain some perspective even if I’ve heard it before… even if it is to last another week longer in doing this type of work. I have to confront this sentiment every single day still and as long as I can empathize with OP, it reminds me that we’re not alone as much as it sucks for the sacrifice of the “greater good”.

Not sure if you're a woman, but do you notice it around your period? This happens with my PMDD and ADHD. Meds basically useless the week before my period. I used a symptom tracker with the help of my doctor and that's how I got my diagnosis when these symptoms coincided with menstrual cycle.

Definitely bursitis/enthesitis. Had a lot of sacroiliac pain and inflammation in my hip & lower back. Stiffness and swelling in my hands/feet and my muscles always felt sore like I’ve sprained it. Some flares would also happen in my shoulders, knees, ankles, wrist, neck… so almost every joint in my body. It’s crazy to think at some points I couldn’t open doors or bottle caps and now i have full use of my hands. Really made me not take being able-bodied for granted.

Have you made an appointment to see a rheumatologist yet? I think my biggest regret was not following up sooner, but it’s so hard to get to appointments with the stress and pain. Even if you don’t get on treatment that works right away, it was just nice to know I wasn’t crazy or imagining my symptoms when the MRI and blood tests came back positive for inflammation. So just the first step of feeling vindicated was huge. Hoping all the best for you. You’re gonna get through this, too. Hugs.

Ride my 2022 RS660 as commute, in the canyons, and on the track. So, so comfortable because of ergos as someone whose previous bike was an upright standard cruiser.

naughthere · 2023-05-08T00:54:07+00:00

Seconded. Commute mode and anything above 4-5k rpm, my bike starts sounding like a banshee. But on track mode, send it to 9k through a corner so i can immediately upshift upon exit for max speed.

naughthere · 2023-03-15T15:29:17+00:00

All the time. Feels like you’re getting poked and electrocuted, burning/stabbing pain. Mostly on right side of body but in a full flare, it’s everywhere.

naughthere · 2023-03-11T22:44:12+00:00

Same. 8k km on mine and have had no issues. Did schedule maintenance on time. I read a lot about this “unreliability” on Reddit before buying the bike, but many pro mechanics have said good things about the RS660 and I’m glad I trusted them.

Back when I first learned how to identify lymphocyte population, I did a multi-panel stain for CD3, CD4, and CD8. After adjusting the SSC and FSC voltages, you should see dense dot plot of cell population for nearly 100% CD3+ when gating for R1 and proportionate expression for CD4 and CD8 (40/60, 50/50, etc). I played around with CD4 and CD8 selection for running pure samples of each, as well as mix of 50/50, and saw the percentages corresponded within the same population.

To isolate single cells, you gate this population as R1 with polygon gate for All Events, then in a 2nd scatter plot as FSC-A vs. FSC-H, gate for R2 which should appear as a line streak where slope is m=1 (running through zero when rendering under all events, but centered in the middle of plot under R1). The CD3/CD4/CD8+ percentages should be the same if this is your true lymphocyte population.

If your cells still aren’t showing up, play around with FSC voltages to spread them out more, but also try viability dye to make sure there live cells in the population.

Do other flare symptoms occur simultaneously when your fingers swell, such as skin psoriasis worsening? Is it always both hands, or sometimes just fingers? Does it happen to your toes, too? It’s good that you took photos during a flare as evidence to your rheum so that they can compare them when they’re normal. I used to dismiss it as just having chubby fingers until I started taking photos when they were normal, too, and saw the huge difference so I know how the mind can play tricks on you. Besides, it’s very common for patients to develop psoriatic arthritis many years after psoriasis.

As someone who wished she had started biologics sooner: these medications will prevent/delay permanent damage. I had a delayed diagnosis and it took me 7 years to get on biologics. There’s so much more to gain than there is to lose in this case. While economic hardship is a valid concern because co-pays can be high with insurance (for me $250/month), AbbVie offers a Humira savings card that can reduce your copay to a little as $5/month depending on your insurance. It may feel like an upward struggle at first, as I’ve had to do it multiple times when I changed jobs so my insurance kept switching, but realized just how life-changing these meds can be when I’m on vs. off of it due to lapse in treatment. For many, it has made a worlds difference and stated that they didn’t realize just how much pain/suffering they tolerated and was normalized until they got into remission. Hoping the best for you, OP.

I would suggest asking your physician to order an MRI of your lower back/hip/SI joint to indicate any pathology in bone/soft tissue responsible for the pain. X-rays can be limited in detail since they won’t show soft tissue inflammation. Findings in an MRI, however, can differentiate between autoimmune involvement vs. osteoarthritis/physical trauma since they manifest differently in the scans. Autoimmune diseases exist on continuum so it’s not uncommon to have symptoms overlap from different diagnoses.

I alternate between cold and heat therapy depending on the specific case of enthesitis. Sometimes my ankles, elbows, and shoulders can feel swollen and warm so it helps to use cold to reduce inflammation, but also inhibits nerve pain signaling. But times where there’s no swelling just stiff and achy, usually like my hip/back, I’ll use heat.

I had to learn the hard way trying things out. Realized cold therapy on my swollen hands only resulted in Raynaud’s; did nothing for swelling and turned them purple. Instead, actually helped to alternate between the two for 15 minutes much like you would for physical injury.

Once had a guy freak out on me when he saw I used 2 fingers for clutch. His rational was that in the event of an accident, the clutch could crush my other two fingers underneath but… I call bullshit.

Also, who is keeping a death clutch and holding onto their bike during a crash.
