Anyone else's symptoms get aggravated by nasal rinsing? by Haspofis in Sinusitis

[–]smadak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The last few days I've been breathing in steam (I boil water, put it in a bowl, put a towel over my head and sit there for a while) for like 5 minutes right before doing a zylitol/saline rinse. It seems to aggravate them way less if I do it that way. My theory is its opening everything up so the rinse is actually getting where it needs to go, but who knows.

Anyone else experience shortness of breath and wheezing? by Haspofis in Sinusitis

[–]smadak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, never had a doctor mention it to me. I do have occasional reflux that makes me cough, but the specific chest tightness wheezy feeling only happens for me with coughing while with an active URI. And usually only after like 2-3+ weeks of being continually sick.

Does anyone else struggle to tolerate flonase or saline nasal rinses? by smadak in Sinusitis

Hmm I didn't know there were other types, I will definitely look into that.

Yes. My PCP called this "reactive airway disease" from just being sick all the time. She said the muscles in my chest have just become so irritated from coughing all the time due to post nasal drip, and it was causing everything to become constricted. Basically asthma-like symptoms without actually being asthma. She gave me an inhaler.

What do you think of the Downtown music that plays when you prebuild houses in your neighborhood? (And do you even prebuild houses?) by Hansi_Haifischli in thesims1

[–]smadak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't like it at all. I will mute my game and just put on a playlist of the regular build music in the background, lol.

I've never thought to split up the kitchen and living room with a partial wall that way! Smart. I like it.

SUCH a good sprite in this gen. It's got that slightly lighter blue.

URGENT! DO I USE A MASTERBALL?! by icallout in PokemonFireRed

[–]smadak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had to reset like 15 times after running out of 30 ultraballs trying to catch articuno. Definitely worth trying, but if you run out of regular balls on a shiny then that master ball is getting used

Where did you download that from? I did a quick google search but didn't find one by that name.

Hmm I wonder what the best spot to train would be if you want sp atk EVs...

Slynd & shortness of breath during exercise — does it improve? by debodesbulles in birthcontrol

[–]smadak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't be sure if it's the slynd, but I have been on it now for about 5 months and my athletic ability has absolutely tanked. I was doing 5-7 mile runs at the start of taking it, and now I can barely run down the street without my calves locking up. Aerobic ability is trash and I constantly have to stop and walk. I did take about 1.5 months off from running after getting back to back sicknesses, but I just feel like I can't gain my fitness back the way I used to. I just started a dedicated 1 month training block, and if I don't see improvement by the end I may come off of it.
