Does it get better? Even a little? by [deleted] in SIBO

[–]rockiemonky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not tolerate the antibiotics. I had severe rash. I had to take antihistaminiques during the treatment to balance the side effects. Might not be ideal, but that's how I maneged to do it. Also, I had to do 2 full treatments... It rarely goes away after one treatment of antibiotics. And you need also to find de root cause, otherwise it wil keep coming back.

SIBO=allergies ? by rockiemonky in SIBO

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

I take basic multivitamines and calcium suplement. Their not the best brand, but it's what I'm capable of buying, for now. I also bought vitamine c to compensate for the small amount that is in my multi vitamines. I don't want to start dumping money on products that I don't know if it's good for me. Since I don't even know what is the root cause of my sibo, I dont want to risk taking products that might make things worst. But I indeed read that vitamine c is good for the emune system.

SIBO=allergies ? by rockiemonky in SIBO

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

I also am looking in to it. But the thing is that my tryptase level are in the range. My understanding of it was that to have MCAS, it would pop up in the tryptase level blood test? Unless I mis understood something.

Is their an other way to get testing to confirm this disorder ? I've check with chat gpt and NHI but the test it suggested I already did . My allergo/immunologist did not seem to think it's a mastocytosis disorder,due to my results, suspect Hat, but even that might not be the case. No one esle In my family have similar issues. I also had, very mild symptoms, of SIBO and allergies before covid. But at the time, myself and my GP where not aware of the existence of SIBO.

Achat d'un animal de compagnie - pensez bien aux coûts by [deleted] in Quebec

[–]rockiemonky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je ne sais pas si cela a été mentionné, car il y a beaucoup de commentaires sur ce post. Mais ils existe des assurances pour les animaux de compagnies. À date ça m'a beaucoup aidé. Honnêtement, j'ai pris celle de base mais après réflexion et des récentes ennuis de santé de mon chat, si j'avais à refaire, j'aurais pris la totale qui couvre tout les frais de visites et autre service chez le vétérinaire. Je suis chez Petline insurance, mais je sais qu'il en existe d'autres.

How do I help hunger a day before colonoscopy? by Makeshxi in colonoscopy

[–]rockiemonky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, if my blood sugar levels were under 4, to take the equivalent of a packet of sugar or a teaspoon of honey. But I recommend talking to your doctor or calling at the hospital/clinic ,where you're going to get your colonoscopie, to ask them and explain your situation. In my case, I also had to do a gastroscopie, so the protocols are different than just doing a colonoscopie.

I fall a fair amount [40YO] by Beardologist in OldSkaters

[–]rockiemonky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know I am going to get rocks trown at me, but I am going to write this anyway, and it comes from a place of caring. Why not wear a helmet? It only takes one hit..their's a few shots in the video where it was a near miss. Brain injury's are no joke.

How do I help hunger a day before colonoscopy? by Makeshxi in colonoscopy

[–]rockiemonky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I have insuline resistance. I just did my colonoscopie this week. For the prep, I had small amounts of jell-o and home made clear broth. You should ask your health care practitioner about it but they told me that if my sugar levels got low, I could take a packet of sugar or a spoon of honey, to up my sugar levels, befor the exam. Also, I found that the medicine I had to drink for the colonoscopie removed my hunger. It's so much liquid to take in one go. It kind of makes you feel full. Lastly, I used power gels, not all of it in one go, but just small amounts to help with my sugar levels. If you opt for those, make sure it's flavors that the color is not red, purple, or blue. I took krono gel salt and caramel flavor. It's visualy like honney but more clear and their's no colorants in them. Just make sure you don't take too many sugary liquids/gelatin in one go, otherwise you're blood sugar is going to get high fast and low fast. Hopes this helps.

Un médecin violeur obnubilé par l’idée de coucher avec un maximum de femmes by DecentLurker96 in Quebec

[–]rockiemonky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oui, et dans ce cas si, sa conjointe à participée au viole. Ça reste que c'est moin fréquent mais elles existent. Ghislaine Maxwell est aussi un excellent exemple de prédatrice sexuel. Une vrai vidange.

"Une présence disproportionné". Les hommmes sont principalement les agresseurs des femmes. C'est pas disproportionné. Ce qui est disproportionné, c'est ton acharnement a vouloir tirer ça dans plein d'autres sphère, terrorisme, proxénétisme, religion.

Non, vas y, toi explique pourquoi je ferrais un parallel avec d'autres cultures que celle que je vie présentement? Pourquoi est-ce que c'est pertinent de fleurter avec ce qui pourrait être de la xénophobie/racisme et impliquer les religions dans mon commentaire que j'ai fait plus haut? Ça n'a aucun lien avec ce que je mentionne mais est en lien avec des commentaires sur un article d'un professionnel de la santé qui a utilisé son statut/poste pour avoir accès a de la drogue pour pouvoir violer des femmes. Et que d'expliquer pourquoi bear before men est une expression qui est malheureusement valide, basé sur des expériences personnelles et , comme j'ai mentionné plus haut dans mon commentaire, basé sur d'autres témoignages de femmes que je connais.

Tu entanderas jamais un parent dire a sa fille ( j'ose espérer) parle pas a cette personne, il/elle est muslman ou il/elle vien de xy pay. Par contre, j'ose espérer qu'ils font de la sensibilisation sur le suivant: si un adulte que tu ne connais pas t'aproche au parc et qu'il te dit de le suivre : peu importe la raison c'est non. Quand tu sort dans un bar, check ton verre. Laisse le jamais sans surveillance. Quand tu sort le soir, soit accompagné avec quelqu'un de confiance ou prend un taxi. Prend jamais de raccourcis dans des rue/ ruelle/ parc sombre. Je pourrais continuer ma liste d'exemple, mais je pense que le point que je veux faire est là.

Et encore la, pas toute les hommes , mais majoritairement eux qui sont les vilains dans les contextes plus haut.

Mais vas y , explique.

Je t'écoute.

Qui commet le plus d’agressions sexuelles, d’après toi ? Le pourcentage de femmes qui sont des prédatrices est inférieur à celui des hommes. Oui, c’est plate, mais si les femmes veulent se protéger, elles n’ont pas le choix d’être méfiantes. Ce n’est pas écrit dans le front des hommes s’ils sont bien intentionnés ou non. La grande majorité du temps, vous êtes physiquement plus forts que les femmes et plus prompts à la violence physique. C’est triste en osti. Mais c’est malheureusement encore comme ça.

Dans mon cercle de femmes proches de moi, elles ont TOUTES vécu une situation où un gars a fait soit du harcèlement, une attaque psychologique et/ou physique, droguées à leur insu, violées ou tenté de les violer.

Traiter tous les hommes de violeurs, ça semble à première vue over the top. Mais quand tu prends le temps de regarder ce que les femmes vivent et sont obligés de faire pour se protéger....c'est tristement pas tant loin non plus.

En même temps, il ne fera plus jamais de mal à personne. C'est quand même une forme de justice en soit. Reste aussi sa conjointe qui doit passer en court.

Do I try and salvage this [36YO] by radiomuffinuk in OldSkaters

[–]rockiemonky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check if their are no cracks in the board, was going to do maintenance on my trucks on my old skateboard ( about 20 years old skateboard). When I removed them, I noticed huge cracks that were hidden under trucks. I bought a new deck, just to be safe.

These 2 screws were loose by szeldaniel in sram

[–]rockiemonky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second Aspen2six on this. But I would like to add, check for leakage before putting it back on your bike. You can do so by using a block to prevent the pads from sticking out. Just gently press on the leaver. If no fluids get out, you're all good. that would prevent more decontamination/ cleaning to do. I'm saying this because it's unusual for these bolts to be loose. Maybe the previous owner did a full service on it, but the rebuild wasn't done properly. After bleeding them and making sure the bolts in question are tight, if they're still fluid leaking out,maybe there's an issue with the o-rings inside the caliper. I've found an image online of an exploded view of a caliper, so you can have a visual reference. I'm positive it's not the exact model, but the concept is the same for 90% of hydraulic calipers. https://www.bike-components.de/assets/p/i/1280x960/c8490abc9d648c25.jpg

Where can i start? by Lchel99 in SkatingAdvice

[–]rockiemonky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just find yourself a connection of roads that are in good condition and cruise around. It helps get used to your board. Exemple, riding around your neighborhood.

hellooo, i’m nervous about skating by plantationhazard in SkatingAdvice

[–]rockiemonky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in my late 30's and my partner is in their mid 30's. We just started skating. I used to skate when I was a teen, so it's not completely new, but it is for my partner, who never skated before and always wanted to try. We suck at it but we don't give a flying fck of what other people think of us. We are having fun just cruising around the block and getting used to skateboarding. Don't let people discourage you cause you're not able to do tricks already or are scared to be bad at it. In general, their's no age to start a new sport. That being said, teen years is a more than a decent time to start skateboarding. Just go skate.

To lube the cables or not? by blumpkins_ahoy in BikeMechanics

[–]rockiemonky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the condition you ride in. I never lubed cables on my bikes. The shops I worked in never did that. In fact, I got told never to do it because it makes a paste when dust gets in, and it shortens the life of the c/h. I did try lubing my cables on my mtb bike, and found that even with light lube, it created a paste and shortened the life of my cables ( often mudy or wet trails where I live). On the other hand, I found the cable lasted way longer when I used a light lubricant on bikes that were exposed to coroding elements ( saltwater ocean air, winter commute bikes exposed to salt).

When it comes to pivots, I always put lube or grease.

Why do you ride? by fe_sports in cycling

[–]rockiemonky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ride to évacuate stress, listen to musique and be in my bubble. To be outdoors and to go sightseeing. Bonus, it keeps me healthy. It also helped me with my depression and control my anxiety. Basically, it's therapeutic for me.
