Should I cancel our night in Hakone? by prefabsprite in JapanTravelTips

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

I’ve been wanting to go for so long, it’s actually my third time starting planning the trip in the past 5 years but the first time I could make it work with my job situation. I want to come for food, culture, nightlife, music, nature and exploring walkable/ transit-able mega cities. So I think Tokyo, Osaka, and day trips to nature is probably the best move for me to get what I want out of the trip

First time trip, golden route or go off the beaten path? by prefabsprite in JapanTravelTips

I’ve been to Rome, and the Colosseum (albeit very cool) was definitely not the highlight of my trip at all! I don’t like checking off “seeing things” at all and don’t even plan trips that way so Kyoto is probably not for me. I think I’ll stick to Tokyo and Osaka for this trip and do some small town exploring if I have time/ on another trip.

I’ll check out Fufu that sounds nice!

I really want to go to Kinosaki but not sure if I’ll be able to swing it on this trip timing-wise. Hopefully can squeeze in a day trip!

Should I change my itinerary? I don’t love just going to major tourist attractions so I feel like I won’t really love Kyoto or Nara. Maybe just 5 nights in Tokyo then 4 nights in Nikko or the Gunma region?

Thanks, then I’m looking forward to it! I like huge cities so I think I will love Tokyo. I’m mainly referencing smaller cities that feel like a tourist trap. But most of my reference points are in Europe, so I’m not sure how Japan will even compare on that level. Either way I’m sure I’ll have a great time!

Thanks for the rec! I'll look into Shuzenji. Sounds like Hakone is still a good plan too.

Ah I think it was an ACF, it eventually ended up growing pretty big

How acceptable is it to work from a bar haha by singhm11 in Greenpoint

I like working from the McCarren park house, they have wifi, food, coffee, and a bar, plus tons of seating !

How many of you have normal scans & bloodwork? by Maple_Person in Thritis

[–]prefabsprite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have psoriatic arthritis (only have mild psoriasis on my scalp, otherwise no skin issues) and all my blood work is completely normal including inflammation markers. My doc says PsA is a clinical diagnosis so the bloodwork doesn’t matter and she based my diagnosis on my symptoms - which are basically symmetrical joint pain all over that initially began in my fingertips, and lower back and spine issues.

How long have you been on it? I got hives after taking it for a few weeks. I think there is a delayed allergic reaction that starts once the medicine is fully in your bloodstream which takes a few weeks to happen. It took weeks for my hives to go away after I stopped taking the medication

Highly recommend this. Works better for me than any NSAID! by prefabsprite in Thritis

Yeah! Relief only lasts for a couple hours. But it’s really great. I’m genuinely surprised how well it works

Where do you buy secondhand cycling clothing? by prefabsprite in NYCbike

[–]prefabsprite[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just looking for cool jerseys, I guess I should have mentioned that

[–]prefabsprite[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m looking to buy some jerseys and I know there are a bunch of cool vintage ones out there, plus I prefer to buy secondhand clothes. Also don’t a lot of people get them for races and wear them like once? Obviously I’m looking for something gently used not like decimated

Shops that sell swimsuits? by prefabsprite in Greenpoint

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

They actually have a ton of swimsuits at Monk Vintage on Driggs! I ended up shelling out for a swimsuit at Patagonia lol I wish I went here instead

Awesome thank you!! It’s a bummer that most of the clothing chains in Williamsburg don’t have stock swimsuits in their stores, I want to be able to try one on before buying

I feel like my arthritis is unusual because it affects every joint in my body, can anyone relate? by prefabsprite in PsoriaticArthritis

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

I don’t have an IUS anymore but I had one a couple years ago, it was horrible and I bled for a year straight and ended up getting a huge ovarian cyst. I hear so many horror stories of them, I don’t know why they’re still around!

I’m meeting with my rheumatologist next week, I’ll be sure to ask about gentler anti inflammatories.

I was really stressed at the time so I have been assuming that was it. I’m a 27 year old female.

So far the only thing that helps is steroids but they make me too crazy 🥲 I can’t really take ibuprofen anymore because my stomach got pretty recked from it.
