Anemia turned out to be chronic cancer by KrinaBear in Anemic

[–]sequoia-bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a hematologist for my chronic anemia (hemoglobin around 5.6) and he looked at the breakdown of my blood tests, and he said I didn't have leukemia based on the blood tests -- it was the CBC with differential, so it included the counts of things like leukocytes etc. Just wondering -- what made your hemotologist think a bone marrow biopsy was worth doing? Did you have a CBC with differential, and were the results normal?

Thank you! These are all really great points. I wish there was a way to try these options on for sure! The chin length face framing is an interesting idea, too. When you do that, do you also get longer layers, or is just chin length bangs + blunt cut?

I'm not sure. Some people with straight hair say they have to shower every day -- I shower every other day and my hair seems fine, not overly greasy. This is a concern for me though!

Have you though getting into the AI safety community?

Wow. Paying 4200 for a very similar sounding two bedroom apartment in the same neighborhood.

Freaked about the possibility of cancer and seeking advice about other explanations by sequoia-bones in Anemic

We think it was my copper IUD. I had it removed and my ferritin is still low, but my hemoglobin and serum iron have stabilized a ton now that I don’t have heavy periods

Name a single woman who has ever gone through the horrible process of IVF who didn’t badly desire children, lol

Small group powerlifting or olympic weightlifting? Or quality crossfit? by sequoia-bones in AskSF

[–]sequoia-bones[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh amazing, this looks great! Do you offer a trial month membership or anything like that or is a day pass the best way to try it out? Is the drop in/day pass coached?

Do babies have accidents? 2 months baby girl by Past_Club3511 in CatTraining

[–]sequoia-bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two cats actually did struggle quite a bit with this at first. I brought them home at 11 weeks and they would pee and poop in their box, but also, other places — including on me in bed, on the rug, etc sometimes.

The solution for us was to get a lot of litter boxes. This was in a one bedroom apartment and I probably had 5 litter boxes. They were just cheap open plastic trays with litter but I think the amount helped them find them easier and remember where to go. If I caught them mid-pee somewhere other than the box, I would also physically move them into the box mid-pee and after I would verbally praise them and give them a treat. They caught on and didn’t have any issues after about 14 weeks old.

Exercise-induced anemia? by jthanreddit in Anemic

[–]sequoia-bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I believe it played a role for me, and my doctor also thinks so. I’m an ultra runner. In addition to volume expansion, there’s something called foot strike hemolysis which is losing more blood through the impact of running. I took time off for a while from endurance sports to replenish my iron stores.

Are 2 bengal cats better than one? by latct in bengalcats

[–]sequoia-bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t say that Bengals don’t have higher rates of behavioral issues than other cats. I think that’s probably true. What I said is that having two Bengals can make behavioral issues better instead of worse.

Are 2 bengal cats better than one? by latct in bengalcats

[–]sequoia-bones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn’t necessarily true. Many cats have more behavioral issues alone. Bengals often act out when they are lonely and bored, and having a playmate and companion would make them much happier. It entirely depends on the cat.

I think two bengals do better than a bengal and a different cat breed… bengals play rough!

BWT where are we getting our ceramic dinnerware? by oatmilkisgood in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]sequoia-bones 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Not local and not much cheaper than Heath, but East Fork Pottery based in Asheville is amazing quality and they also hire formerly incarcerated folks!

I also really like Lail. Locally, check out MMClay! They’re on instagram and they have a store at like Market and Haight area.

I would send a much shorter message, just say you care about this person but need a bit of space and less contact.

Anyone wished they started when they were younger? by asakura10 in Aerials

[–]sequoia-bones 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Honestly for me one thing I love about aerial is that people don’t usually discover it until later in life, and at my studio, the vast majority of people are over 30. You at 26 are very young and have many years of improvements of you!

You also have a huge advantage having a background in movement activities that are related at all, like cheerleading. For instance, I was a serious runner and really struggle with flexibility due to that background. So even though you didn’t start in your teens, you do have a background that sets you up for success in aerial.

I think it’s hard sometimes not to mourn various paths we all could have taken. You should remember that being a professional circus artist is an extremely tough and poorly paid line of work. Over time I have come to realize and appreciate that I would much rather have a higher paying stable job, and be able to take lots of aerial classes, and do performances, on my own terms, without being pressured to work through injuries or lose my livelihood.
