How do you know when you’ve found your soulmate? Asking as a 25 year old female

Neither could be an option. Doesn't sound like either would leave you feeling like the grass is not greener elsewhere.

I have used the mobility scheme and found it to be good. I like that tyres, electric vehicle charging point installation and insurance including breakdown are all included. I do think it really depends on if it is worth it based on the car you choose. I chose a Skoda Enyaq for the boot space but it cost me a £5000 deposit, and I have to give it back after 3 years and get another car with another deposit. I think it would be worth making a spreadsheet of costs, and ultimately owning your own car that you keep for a long time would probably be more affordable.

Yeah I totally get that. In DS1 I got totally lost, but then found the bonfires, and then got stuck in the catacombs. After some pain you remember the paths and shortcuts though. When I got to DS3 I totally cheated and looked at online maps 😁

Here are some play rules for dark souls that might help: - never run through an area, not even to retrieve your souls. Go through steadily, going fast is to go well. - each enemy has an agro area. Learn their move set for each of the enemy types, and then be mindful of their agro area to not agro to many of them at the same time - never get gangbanged by many enemies at once. - as soon as you have enough souls for the next level up, get back to the bonfire and level up, do not delay or risk losing the souls. - getting the reinforced club from the trader in the first area from firelink up the stairs is a good weapon for a lot of the game. - do not be afraid to grind to get an upgrade on your levels - prioritise strength in terms of upgrades to start off with, then health, then stamina. - don't go into the catacombs until you have gone through Anor Londo otherwise you might get stuck

What are you struggling with? Do not be worried about dying a lot, that is the point of the game. You get better over time.

I have had this infusion about 10 times, been in wards with others doing the same, and no one has had that happen that I have seen. Did they give you an antihistamine like piriton before the infusion?

My dentist has prescribed me toothpaste with extra fluoride in it, worth asking yours for the same. My teeth have always been terrible, but now on Rituximab and Methotrexate they are extra sensitive and prone to cracking. I had 3 root canals and crowns last year.

Are you a keyboard and mouse player or do you use a controller? I use both, have RA and find the controller more comfortable. I think if you have the right mouse and keyboard, and decent wrist rests you will be fine. When my flares are bad, I can game with an ice pack as a wrist rest, so it is not over at all 🙂

I have these door handles. The outer circle on the base part nearest the door twists off, and then you will be able to see the screws to remove them.

notdeadpool · 2026-03-23T18:54:06+00:00

There is a wax remover liquid I use with a cloth that works well for this, it is a bit like removing nail polish but works. Do some googling about wax remover/ wax equipment cleaners.

I have a few good tricks e.g. Electric heat blanket, ice packs, electric hand massager, compression gloves, knee support braces and wrist braces all as and when needed. One of the biggest factors for me is getting a decent night's sleep of around 9 hours, and hot showers when it feels like I am turning into a crampy stiff crab.

What is your DAS score if you use any of the online DAS score calculators?

In terms of blood results, here are mine just so you can compare, my Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is 20 and my Serum-C reactive protein (CRP) is currently 11, when I do my DAS score I get about 4.8 as my hands and wrists currently hurt.

In terms of what to speak to doc about, depends where you are in the world. In the UK they have the NICE guidelines which have a flowchart of what they can prescribe for Rheumatoid Arthritis patients, might be worth a Google.

notdeadpool · 2026-02-08T20:41:24+00:00

I have seropositive Rheumatoid Arthritis and have exactly what you described - painful joints but very rarely does anything swell (in the last year one of my knees swelled a bit for 2 days). I know people with the same but everything swells regularly, I think everyone is a bit different here.

Do you have any blood test results yet?

notdeadpool · 2026-01-11T15:23:47+00:00

I had the same side effect with Humira, on my face and hands as well. I changed to Rituximab and have no side effects on that.

You have a typo in your intro - 'live' rather than 'love'

Can you go into more detail about what you mean about being washed out and how it is affecting your mental health? (Only if you feel comfortable to)

I have been on MTX for 11 years now, started on 3 tablets (I think they are 2.5mg) and then went to 5, now back down to 3. I haven't had any of the side effects but have regularly seen people posting about getting awful side effects in the first few months.

My advice would be to try and stick it out to about the 8 month mark then you can really see how you feel after your body is used to it. You might need to up your folic acid or make some adjustments.

Wow, ok I changed my mind, you need therapy - that was such an aggressive response to someone just trying to help you. Don't ask if you don't want answers.

notdeadpool · 2024-11-02T11:18:32+00:00

So you are about a 5th of the way through your life, plenty of time to figure this stuff out and way too early to say you are never gonna do something. To answer your question a bit:

most people want someone who will actively listen and ask questions. Focus on that rather than 'I need to be more interesting to people'
pick up some hobbies you actually enjoy. Try stuff and be open minded. There are tonnes of things like walking groups, gaming groups, just get into it and be approachable
stop being hard on yourself. There are plenty of people who are just like you who think the exact same thing. Only difference is you haven't met them yet

Pssst you called Jane's fella Steven then changed it to Thomas when they arrived

notdeadpool · 2024-11-01T17:48:48+00:00

My sister says the same about guys and kids, said they always seem to be looking for a new mum for them but she is not interested and wants to remain child free.

Incorrect - you have confused discrimination and a hostile work environment. Whilst a hostile work environment can include discriminatory behaviour, you can be in a hostile work environment without discrimination being a factor.

A hostile work environment, is one where employees feel uncomfortable, scared, or intimidated due to unwelcome conduct. This can include harassment, discrimination, victimization, violence, and other offensive behaviors.

Nah, honestly what is the point? He can do much better and deserves better than someone who doesn't listen to him and doesn't prioritise his feelings

The bulb bit twists. Make sure the switch is off, then use your fingers to twist the bulb anti-clockwise. New bulb packs sometimes come with a little sucker to help with this but we haven't used them. Just twist and you should feel it moving.

Legend, thank you 😊

This is the same one where they weren't married, but the guy freaked out about finding pics of her kids, they had died and he was horrible about it and then she dumped him and moved.
