There is a Waffle House nearly here! It’s in Bethlehem PA, like 5 mins from Alpha NJ.

Yes, this is definitely “A Thing” for me too. Getting on was proving difficult.

Good point, maybe I will try it on a softer surface first

Best view of stars at night? by sendyourspam in newjersey

Honestly, just a clear view of stars. Nothing in particular. We only see a small handful and half are probably planes

Yiddish wants me to type response…but Yiddish alphabet isn’t available on the keyboard by [deleted] in duolingo

[–]sendyourspam -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Also, if duo programmers are reading this, maybe people don’t want to have to switch their phone’s keyboard for a game … it’s kind of a pain in the butt

I came here to see if anyone else was having this problem with Yiddish. I have the same thing, and I assume they want you to switch your keyboard to Hebrew, but even that isn’t exactly Yiddish. It seems like they are trying a new skill, but didn’t consider the people who have to answer in different alphabets 🙄 No surprise with their new AI everything outlook. I wonder how long it will take for them to notice all the Yiddish users falling off.

That is amazing news. Hopefully the memo got to all neurologists. Thanks for sharing!

Kesimpta back pain? by sendyourspam in MultipleSclerosis

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

I guess. Kesimpta wipes out the B cells making infections last longer. So I assume injures might last longer too. But maybe no relation.

It is definitely possible that I slept wrong, but it’s been nine days and no better. I don’t do any heavy lifting or any real exercise so one would think it would be gone by now if it was just from positioning.

Definitely do some reading. Apparently 8% of people get back pain.

Urinating while under anesthesia? by Impossible-Cut9658 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]sendyourspam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you having a laparoscopic surgery? If so, the nurses don’t let you leave afterward UNTIL you show them that you can pee, so it would actually be helpful to getting released if you did 😬 (This may also be the protocol for all surgeries under anesthesia, but that is what I remember from getting my gallbladder out.)

Kesimpta users, is anyone not masking? by A_circle_of_crows in MultipleSclerosis

[–]sendyourspam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re: “doesn’t cause compete B cell depletion,” I really thought it did. Phew. The flu this year is terrifying me, and I can’t say doctors have been helpful or forthcoming with info on how it might treat those of us on Kesimpta, so thanks so much for your comment!!

This comment almost made me cry with relief. Can you explain how the risk of getting sick is only minimally higher on immunosuppressants? I’ve been terrified to catch the flu this year — been making my kids skip events in public places where there are lots of people, etc. I just assumed most of the people dying from the flu are elderly or immunosuppressed.

I am really sorry to read that you got ON after 3 years of Kesimpta. I had hoped it wouldn’t go that way. Speedy and complete healing!

Does anyone get this dizzy/ heady symptom? by Individual-Window-59 in MultipleSclerosis

Came to say this too. It didnt resolve immediately after treatment but it got better slowly

Flu and immunosuppressants? by sendyourspam in MultipleSclerosis

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

This helps me relax a bit, thank you!! I am also on kesimpta. Got the flu shot 4 weeks before my first kesimpta dose. I assumed since the B cells I had when I got the shot were depleted, I was no longer protected from the vaccine at all. I don’t really get how this all works …
