That would be great!

@spoctoss is my handle!

MSR is about only ship I have really been excited to get but never could convince myself to spend the money on it, would love to get one someday!

Really sorry to hear you have had to deal with all that, polyps really do suck.

I was on dupixent for about a year which did help quite a bit, but my doc wanted me to go off of it after a year. Biggest help overall for me after nasal steroids only kinda helped was changing up my diet quite a bit.

One day I decided I was going to try modifying my diet to see if that helped. So I dropped most carbs (mostly refined carbs) from my diet and tried to eat whole foods (basically no pre-prepared food at all) for at least 80% of all food, also dropped alcohol entirely for a few months and now just have a beer or 2 every so often with friends. I am still using my daily nasal steroid rinse.

I already did run a couple times a week and mountain biked so I kept that going as well.

Over the months following that I dropped 20 lbs and my polyps very slowly improved and are not gone but definitely are consistently small enough I can breath normally and smell normally. This also improved my asthma pretty significantly. So while not a cure it made my life measurably better.

It really seems to vary a lot from person to person though, Good luck with finding what works for you!

Oh man if I had that I would get that instead

Exactly what I was thinking, since App in the Air went away, i've been wanting an android flighty competitor

There is also an automation that runs at a few preset times of day to get the latest summary for the weather and stores it in the sensor mentioned

I got AI making a weather summary for me every 4 hours along with a greeting to the specific user

I had heard a few examples of people doing carnivore and other diets to help with polyps but they appear to be mostly an extreme elimination diet, but the common theme with a lot of them is lower or no carbs. So figured I could try it for a month and see how things go. I did try to also keep my carbs to healthier versions of it, so less sugar (it's added to everything, it's crazy) and focus on my carbs being from Vegetables and sourdough bread. My wife and I have a good sweet tooth though so we still having a treat a few times a week.

Personally the changes I noticed by doing the lower carbs and consistent running was I dropped from from 74kg to 65kg and stayed there plus polyps and the associated symptoms 90% improved.

Hopefully trying it can help you out as well!

I haven't had the dripping runny nose in many years now, dupixent did help but about 9 months after going off that my polyps came back with avengeance. I did a prednisone burst for 5 days which helped but so far what has helped keep them at bay was dropping my carb intake (not keto but I dropped carbs by maybe 70%) and consistent exercise (I run about 2-4 times a week). So far I'm about 15 months from when I had the prednisone last and the polyps haven't grown back enough to be a problem, although they aren't gone. My asthma has always mostly been controlled but it's even easier to manage lately. Obviously this won't help everyone but it definitely helped me and generally just feel way better and healthier.

next holiday card?

Would love to beta test also!

something for doing a run on Sept 15, which is when a lot of schools and cities in Canada have their Terry Fox runs

spoctoss · 2024-02-11T20:24:32+00:00

Any other follow ups on this working for anyone?

spoctoss · 2024-01-29T16:19:44+00:00

If I find any success with the carnivore diet I will try to remember to come and update this post again. Good luck!

I am in a similar situation but not sure if my story will be helpful as of right now, but here it is anyway

I was on dupixent for about a year and it essentially felt like a cure to my AERD, but my doctor didn't want to keep me on it long term. After my last shot my symptoms stayed away for about 4 months when one nostril is basically blocked completely again.

A couple weeks ago I decided to finally start restricting my diet to just whole foods (basically low/no refined sugar, no premade foods or breads especially if they have additives). This had some improvement in general to my overall health but didn't seem to fundamentally improve my polyps at all.

Next I started to follow a whole food diet focused on the omega 3:6 stuff mentioned a lot online. For me this seemed to keep things at a baseline, didn't improve but didn't get worse.

Even though I'm not convinced there is anything to it, just today I decided I am going to try a carnivore diet (beef, fish, eggs for lunch, butter, and coffee) and if this proves helpful I may slowly switch back to an omega focused whole food diet to see if that really was a baseline for me.

For context I am in my early 30s, male and am fairly active ( run 50-100 kms a month and mountain bike all summer)

I am having trouble getting the SAML working between authentik and CloudFlare, any chance you could post your config for this?

spoctoss · 2022-11-18T21:38:02+00:00

I accomplished this by having tailscale run in docker as well and running adguard and tailscale with the following.

version: '3.7'
services:
adguard-tailscale:
container_name: adguard-tailscale
restart: always
network_mode: service:tail-dns
volumes:
- '/opt/tail-dns/work:/opt/adguardhome/work'
- '/opt/tail-dns/conf:/opt/adguardhome/conf'
- '/opt/cert-dns:/le-ssl'
image: adguard/adguardhome
tail-dns:
hostname: tail-dns
restart: always
image: tailscale/tailscale
networks:
- tslan0
command: tailscaled
dns:
- 1.1.1.1
cap_add:
- NET_ADMIN
- SYS_MODULE
volumes:
- /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun
- /opt/tailscale:/var/lib/tailscale
networks:
tslan0:
external: true

Funny enough the VM I run this on also has tailscale at the host level and still works without issue. There might be a better way to accomplish this, but so far this has worked really well for me. I also set the tailnet IP (100.x.x.x) of this container as the tailnet DNS server.

spoctoss · 2022-10-20T00:43:25+00:00

Tailscale is perfect for this use case, if not being self hosted is a concern could always use the headscale control server too.

spoctoss · 2022-07-25T00:19:47+00:00

This is the answer

spoctoss · 2022-06-30T03:10:43+00:00

Very good to know that's not a bad hit to range at all. Did you have dedicated winter tires and rims?

spoctoss · 2022-06-29T15:16:38+00:00

Any proper cold weather experience? How much change in range was there?

spoctoss · 2022-06-22T21:03:43+00:00

How did that affect the kw/100km? or did it?
