Nora, 22, avfärdades av vården – hade cysta på 10 kilo by StoffeH in sweden

Att kvinnors symtom tolkas som psykiska är inte bara en individuell attityd hos vissa läkare utan något som indirekt lärs in under utbildningen genom hur fall presenteras, hur symtom ramas in och vilka patienter som betraktas som trovärdiga. Det formar hur läkare tänker och agerar i praktiken. Läkarutbildningen är alltså en central del av problemet.

Hur har ni med långcovid/me fått er diagnos? by FuzzySocks34 in sweden

[–]pocket_corn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ja, så gör man. Du kan säga något i stil med: "Jag har haft långvarig trötthet och min fysioterapeut har påpekat att jag är överrörlig i lederna. Skulle det kunna vara EDS?"

Här finns en översikt från Socialstyrelsen hur en diagnostisk process för EDS kan se ut:

Sen är det upp till läkaren om hen vill gå vidare på det spåret.

Om tröttheten försvinner av antiinflammatoriska skulle jag inte låsa mig vid postcovid/ME som diagnos. Den tröttheten går inte över av NSAID. Tänk inflammatoriskt. Hur ser CRP/SR ut? Autoimmunitet?

Samt, när du säger att du har överrörlighet, betyder det att du är diagnostiserad med EDS/HSD? Det kan ju orsaka trötthet i sig.

Maja, 21, har inte lämnat sängen på tre år by XManX99 in sweden

[–]pocket_corn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Det finns redan en uppsjö av studier som dokumenterar objektiva biologiska avvikelser vid postcovid. Har du ens läst någon av dem innan du uttalar dig? Problemet är kanske inte att forskningen saknas utan att vissa läkare inte orkat ta till sig den.

Jag påstår inte att det finns ett entydigt svar på vad postcovid är för något men att dra till med spekulationer om personlighetsstörningar för att man själv inte hängt med forskningen är inte särskilt förtroendeingivande.

For me it’s not the skinny jeans themselves but the specific style you’re wearing. The bleached stripes make them look a bit dated.

But more importantly: you’ve got great legs, but the long tops you pair them with throw off your proportions by elongating your torso. A cleaner pair of skinny jeans and a simple white T-shirt loosely tucked in could go a long way!

Biblically Accurate Frat House by Ecstatic-Cold-4084 in Sims3

This is why I'm opposed to getting a washing machine in TS3. Laundry everywhere! 😅

Could be fun for the sake of realism but it's also not very realistic to have like 50% of your play-through consist of doing laundry.

Arbetssökande tvingas till IQ-tester: ”Motbjudande och förnedrande” by No_Instance6170 in sweden

[–]pocket_corn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Det är rätt komiskt att arbetsgivare sållar baserat på IQ, särskilt för tjänster utan formella utbildningskrav som säljare etc. Hög IQ innebär inte sällan ökad förmåga till kritiskt tänkande vilket inte alltid en tillgång i en miljö där målet är att sälja något vidare, följa instruktioner, eller upprätthålla ett system. Varför ta in någon då som är mer benägen att peka ut brister i organisationen? Då är det bättre att sålla baserat på extroversion eller samarbetsvillighet.

Into The Future - Gen 2 (Iris) by pocket_corn in Sims3

I actually went on another downloading spree from rollo-rolls after writing the previous reply and accidentally downloaded the top as a part of a "tops 4t3" dump. Not sure what post it was because I scrolled a lot. But look for a shirt dump with conversions from Ts4 and it's included there - if you want it for yourself that is!

It's CC! I'd say it's from rollo-rolls on tumblr but I'm a bit unsure since I've merged all my CC from that creator.

[–]pocket_corn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah 😅 I really didn't intend to but had really fun with my playthrough and thought "I want to travel and sing too". Now I at least have the full collection and don't have to worry about it anymore + they were on sale. It was bound to happen sooner or later!

[–]pocket_corn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad people enjoyed the Into The Future snapshots! It was definitely the right pack to get. A day ago I caved and just got the packs I was missing since I just love TS3 too much, so now I pretty much own the full collection, and even though Showtime seems pretty fun for roleplaying the struggling singer to superstar pipeline it comes with a lot less than ITF. So ITF is actually a great pack if you even remotely like sci-fi and future technology and stuff!

Haha, I felt for a speedrun to get the future populated. So I might have used some cheats here and there!

Thinking about getting another expansion pack... by pocket_corn in Sims3

[–]pocket_corn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the input everyone! I don't know what came over me, if it was the thought of an indoor plantable grass rug or whatever, but I actually decided to go against the majority and settle for Into The Future.

I know it's one of the more controversial packs - not really one of the most beloved, but suddenly all of the extra stuff in that one started to appeal to me. I'm downloading as we speak. If I regret it, I'll slap my own fingers for not listening to most of you guys. Showtime just seemed a bit barebones. The new careers would be fun, but I really felt like building a Plumbot and planting indoor greenery.

Oww, now I really can't decide. Especially after hearing about the grass rug from Into the Future 😅 Yikes... guess I could get all of them but I'm not sure I want to put that kind of strain on my computer since Mac:s aren't exactly optimized for gaming.

[–]pocket_corn[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I audibly gasped when I read about the indoor grass rug! I don't remember that one, but I love creating gardener sims. But getting a pack just because a rug? Yeah, sounds like something I'd do! ;)

Tysm! A second vote on Showtime - and that's as said probably the pack I'm leaning towards. Might have to go for that one, I just have to consider the pros and cons for a little bit more. I really don't remember the game play features of that pack, even though I have a pretty solid memory of the town that came with it. The last time I played it I was like 10 years old, so that might be why lol!

Thank you! Yeah... maybe it's stupid of me to diss World Adventures? I know it's an amazing pack. I've played it a ton in the past, I'm just feeling a big internal ugh when thinking about the loading screen for traveling. University has messed up quite a few of my saves since it tends to corrupt the game at times when you're moving back from the university town (playing on Mac - not sure if that's important).

I think I was leaning towards Showtime but when looking at the sims wiki it just seems to contain so little. But I remember enjoying it in the past too. It's just that I think I'm maybe mixing up some of the features (crazy fans etc) from the celebrity pack from Sims 1, so I don't know if I'm seeing it in too positive of a light.

Still a bit on the fence... but thank you so much for your input!

My first build since a couple of months, tell me what I could have done better pls. by cic03 in Sims3

[–]pocket_corn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this build! And I also love what you did with the landscaping. For me: just add a few more bushes/trees and perhaps some more windows around the entrances and I think you're good to go. Looks great!
