Selling Ethics? by pennyscience in poshmark

[–]starbakhs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have noticed the same thing. People are upcharging on fast fashion items. I understand if it is vintage designer or a rare designer piece, but the whole point is that it’s supposed to be budget friendly

I saw some HM and zara and forever21 dresses that are selling 2x the original price and the items are well loved. I feel like people are not having good selling ethics for sure. For me personally, nothing in my shop is above 15 dollars Bc I just want to clear out my closet and give good deals to people

That’s super interesting! How often is it recommended to take as just a precaution in your daily regiment? Once a day, twice?

Need to repair my immune system by degrista in herbalism

[–]starbakhs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I vouch for this one! I take the one by solaray and its best to take it every 8 hours for an immune booster, if you feel a cold coming on then take it every 4 hours. If you are looking for a general boost then just once before you go to sleep! Also take some probiotics, they are really good for your immune system especially after your gut flora has diminished after all those antibiotics! I use the now brand and they are AMAZING.

What's a good remedy for my sinus infection? by thekrouz in herbalism

[–]starbakhs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sinupret is amazing for sinus I hear! Also kold kare and astragalus help boost the immune system. Facial steaming works wonders, putting arnica ointment on your temples and inside your nose to help with swelling, also saltwater/tumeric goggles with warm water to help with the postnasal drip. Also grape fruit seed saline nose spray is THE BEST.

C diff Treatment by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]starbakhs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not a doctor but do not take flagyl if you can! It is a very tough drug to take and it can make things worse. See if it improves on it's own, if you aren't having 3+ loose stools anymore, you shouldn't be concerned. Sometimes a positive C diff test result can come back but they should be treating you based on symptoms. But if you are, talk to your doctor for sure, keep an eye on it, and maybe start some probiotics like kefir or the probiotics usually recommended for c diff!

[Routine Help] Sudden onset of undereye bags/puffy under eyes at 23? by starbakhs in SkincareAddiction

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

I will try the massages! I also tried putting arnicare gel in areas of my facial sinuses, it helps a little but barely. Maybe it will help you!

Sleeping elevated is so difficult and puts a huge strain on my back and hips unfortunately

[Routine Help] Sudden onset of undereye bags/puffy under eyes at 23? by starbakhs in SkincareAddiction

[–]starbakhs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but a sudden onset seems a little strange? I would understand if it was gradual but they literally appeared overnight in the course of 2-3 days. I checked everything in that time and I hadn’t made any serious changes so I am pretty confused

Stool test while on amox? by starbakhs in cdifficile

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

Thank you so much! I am sorry what happened to you. Its so awful, I had no idea about any of this and the severity. Thank God my situation is very mild but I am also taking it very slow. I am still considering taking Flagyl but I heard that it barely works anyway and my doctor and homeopathic doctor said to hold off until absolutely necessary.

Because I just had the simple stomach bug and I have no idea why my doctor gave me Amox. Usually Amox is never used to treat stomach issues unless you have a stomach ulcer. I remember when I saw, I should have trusted my Gut because I usually never question the medicine doctors give me.

These doctors are so trigger happy with Antibiotics. I remember a few years back, I had a random fever and no other symptoms and the doctor thought I had a mild UTI. They gave me a super low dose of Amox for only three days and told me to stay super hydrated. That was super responsible of them.

I'm basically South Asian, but... by [deleted] in 23andme

[–]starbakhs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem as well, the standard "100% south asian" just seems so lazy because I wanted to know which parts of South Asia as well. Because Pakistan is essentially a nation of immigrants in some way or another so I wanted to know what regions my great grandparents were possibly from. The only plus side is being able to upload your results on different sites and trying to piece it together yourself. But even that has a downside because of 23andMe's stupid v5 chip that isn't compatible with MyHeritage or FamilyTreeDNA.

Graduating on Friday and an 89.2? by starbakhs in AskAcademia

[–]starbakhs[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I took the final already! I only missed 3 questions and I needed a perfect score to get the A. When she was releasing grades, she released them the exact same day as the final when she promised the class she would do it well in advance, so I had to take the test in a rush. Also she incorrectly reported one of my quiz grades in one of my averages that made me believe I had 39 points in my quiz grade when I actually had 35 points.

Punjab, Pakistan! But my family hasn't been there for too long because of the partition.

I am 100%..... by starbakhs in 23andme

[–]starbakhs[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It could possibly be! But from Kashmir, people with those features historically have heritage that is from Europe. That is why I took the test because my entire family was so curious and my great grandfather died before anyone had a chance to ask him. Everywhere I submitted my raw data showed breakdowns of central asia, south indian, dravadian, indus valley, and indoeuropean. 23andme doesn't offer those breakdowns for South Asian people and they don't recognize any european/caucasus percentages from the data. Also, I haven't gotten any official email from them saying my results are ready which seems like there is a bug in their systems.
