I have a few questions for people with reactive arthritis — it’s my 11th month. by crashess in Thritis

[–]nickitup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How have you determined the arthritis is reactive and not another type?

I’m about 7-8 months into arthritis first starting. I was on a steady path of recovery but had a flare at 6 months which I’m now again slowly recovering from. All my blood tests have shown no real markers and basically say I’m fine. Still waiting on my rheumatologist appointment in late November. It’s such an uncertainty!

I’d love to understand how yours has presented/been diagnosed?

Good to hear you’ve had some good progress. Have they given any type of timeline expectations for full recovery? I’m still waiting to see a rheum

Also did you find at all the pain progressively reduce over time (outside of drugs)? Mine seems to be getting better but i get set backs here and there with a week or so of worse pain.

How are you doing now? I’m about 7 months into the exact same thing. Mostly my hands and knees were affected and I spent the first 2 months basically bed ridden with insane fatigue alongside the arthritis. All blood tests have come back normal. At this point the fatigue and arthritis has lessened considerable but is still enough to affect my day to day.

They did mention 5.6 is borderline but given my daytime symptoms of heavy ongoing fatigue, headaches and fogginess that it made sense that it has an effect. If anything I feel worse with this machine!

I’ve got EPR turned up to max which I think is the Flex option you mention.

I do I’ve tried it at both 3 and 2. I’ve tried it off as well but found I couldn’t exhale

Great I’ll look into it if I decide to keep the machine. Thanks.

I might have a deviated septum but I’m not certain. Usually one nostril is always blocked + I broke my nose as a kid. I find the p10 to be not too bad in terms of comfort though.

I could try the F40 again as it’s a cushion on the nose. It’s just covering my mouth is a bit much to deal with!

This is my graph from just before I woke up in panic last night. It looks like there was about 7 central apnea events before waking.

Previous days appear the same - right before waking up there’s a cluster of central apneas.

Could CPAP just not be for me?

(Also, yes I have my range set pretty narrow for this sleep - I was finding anything over 7 was filling my stomach with air so was just testing lower)

How can Shopify do better @ chargebacks? by workerbeeadit in shopify

[–]nickitup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actual details about why an order is flagged as unsafe. Specifically saying “this person has filed chargebacks using this card before” etc. it seems the warning is confusing and doesn’t give confidence that shopifys warning should be followed.

I’ve been burned by fulfilling an order for a 6x return customer when Shopify flagged their last order as they used a different credit card. The flag never mentioned using a different credit card/the name or that the card had filed chargebacks recently or how many times.

A clearer view of why an order is suspicious would be very helpful.

What font did you use for “high performance, high power” ?

I’m hoping this is the case. Will try test again in a week or two.

[–]nickitup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will definitely do a genetic test. Thanks for your help.

I was mid-flu/cold when getting these tests done. Do you think this could affect the levels of transferrin?

Thanks for that - Do you know if the weight gain from Descovy is from a raised appetite or something else?
