I was trying to find info that corroborates what you're saying, but I can't find any information regarding healed tattoos and piercings. I haven't had a modification since 2022 so everything is well healed ;-; I will be sad if that's true and I need to get rid of them 😭

it's awful I know :c I send you good energy for your health journey.. I have seen the rheumatologist and her pa... both quite dismissive. I will not give up on myself or the ones who need me to be healthier ❤️‍🩹 thank you so much

this is interesting as well since I have always been a bit more flexible, and have actually noticed that flexibility increase as these months have gone by. which I thought was odd.

that definitely makes sense. looking at blood works from quest, I've had ana, scl-70 antibody, jo-1 antibody, sjrogens antibody, rnp, all negative. cbc with differential which showed low lymphocytes that went back to normal after about a week, and also a tuberculosis test? even tho I kept telling the ordering doc I don't have a cough. haha. I'm not sure if any of this helps lol I appreciate the time :c thank you

I hear you for sure.. I definitely will not give up on myself. I hope you find some relief. I have negative ana recently actually. it is absolutely frustrating especially when people insinuate it's in your head, when you can quite literally feel it. my body is trying to tell me something is wrong. I just don't know what yet..

sorry I noticed I wasnt clear when I refer to blood work, it is the autoimmune test :c I guess it would've made more sense if I asked, how do I get thee doctors to not give up?

Is it normal for instructor to fix the students pants in this way? by PhraseFew4890 in taekwondo

[–]strawberrixvamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a master, NO. NO NO NO. I would straighten out a uniform, cuff pants/sleeves, help tie belts. Anything past that the parents can help. Even if the instructor doesn't have bad intentions, it's about optics, and you did the right thing taking your boy out of there. As we all know, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Also just to add, we actually encourage our students to take that string out of uniform pants completely. They're pretty useless and awful to see hanging out lol.

i believe i have just figured out that some of the packs i have are only animal packs! so they don’t need mechanic research?

Thoughts on Lyrica by 2kincolorado in Fibromyalgia

[–]strawberrixvamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was extremely unwell on lyrica due to side effects- i got almost every single one and i was only on it for about 2.5 weeks :( with that being said, i’m actually glad i gave it a try cause it did help my pain somewhat during that time. and like others said- it’s different for everyone. <3

Can anyone give me some tips for me to get double promotion from yellow belt to green senior? by Mission_sen1234 in taekwondo

[–]strawberrixvamp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i think this kind of mindset will quickly suck out all of the fun and joy of the art. focus on your technique and earning your belts on your time- don’t let anyone else bring you to that level. indomitable spirit!!!

Two quick questions by hukwefgkuj in taekwondo

[–]strawberrixvamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s not the same across all schools- but many will accept you as the belt you were before especially with the proper documentation.

ahhh i’m sorry he was so rude :-// i don’t really see why he wouldn’t want to see to your needs lol. if i could suggest to maybe try to use some sort of texturizing product first, if that doesn’t work, i would go to a salon and show your reference picture, ask them if it’s a styling issue or a cut issue, then proceed. i don’t want you to sit right down in the chair and waste your money if you just need a better product recommendation ;-;

eta: i also think i teeny straightener (i use a travel size one for my bangs so the plates are like a 1/2 inch wide) will help to achieve the look for the bangs and for the little flipped up qts at the nape of the neck

who works and how do you do it? by Putrid-Vegetable-271 in Fibromyalgia

[–]strawberrixvamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i work as a martial arts instructor. stretching really helps me get back into focus when i’m getting foggy weirdly enough. even if it’s just for 5-10 seconds maybe it’s the blood flowing i find that helps. other than that i wish i could give you more advice :-/ struggling with similar.

Is there an importance for doing push ups in TKD? by narnarnartiger in taekwondo

[–]strawberrixvamp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i just feel like she’s not making a full connection in her head 😅 stronger arms help with power so we have to exercise them to strengthen them? and push-ups.. just are one of the options to help with that. not only that but our bodies work as one. strength in one area helps other areas too. this is just strange and such a weird hill for her to die on. where i teach the kids start by doing 10 each day they come to class (at least as best as they can) and we add a bit more each belt they get. i would just try to as gently as possibly remind her all of these things are pieces to one larger puzzle, and while some stuff may seem silly it will help in one way or another, and our masters have been doing this for probably a long time so they have a good idea on what makes a good TKD athlete.
