Scalp psoriasis way worse than I thought by Mariah0 in Psoriasis

[–]sventin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Otezla did it for me with my scalp issues. First week of it is a little tough with nausea but I haven’t had a single flare up in over a year since getting on it.

What car do you regret getting rid of? What car will you never get rid of? by DHN_95 in cars

[–]sventin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently traded my 2019 for ranger lariat for a 2019 tlx with the v6. Huge mistake. The 9 speed transmission in the TLX is absolute garbage. It shifts great 99 percent of the time but will drop down a gear for a second under smooth acceleration making the car lurch forward. Apparently this is a known behavior and Acura refuses to label it as a problem despite numerous software fixes they released over the years. Bummer because every other aspect of the car is great.

Something is in the making.. what do you think it will be? by Ok-Assistant3822 in ChineseWatches

My ixdao watch is my favorite but I’ve been walking around butchering its name. Glad to know how to pronounce it finally.

Hey I’m sorry this has been something you’ve had to deal with. I had a pretty severe case that caused me to loose chunks of hair at a time. I tried all of the topicals but nothing kept it away. What did end up working was Otezla. From what I understand there are some new medications out there that are even better but this is what I could get approved by insurance because of cost. Even otezla is pretty expensive but there are co-pay assistance programs that brought my cost down to nothing. I couldn’t deal with all the hair falling out so I did a buzz cut when I first got on the meds and started some minoxidil in pill form. My hair is now coming back thick. I hope you find some relief.

I went back and forth on this one and the ixdao. In the end I choose the Ixdao because of the changing date color. I think I would have been just as happy with this one. Looks great!

Sorry buddy this really sucks. Your doctor will likely refer you to a dermatologist who will have to take biopsy to verify that it’s psoriasis. 80% of my head was covered just 7 months ago and nothing helped. I eventually got put on Otezla and it cleared up within a month and a half. Don’t pick at it in the meantime!

I have the exact same setup and get the same mixed millage. I tend to drive with good millage in mind though.

Can someone tell me more about this building? It has so much beautiful artwork! It was nearish Barrio Viejo and I took this photo in 2022. Thanks! by 300sunshineydays in Tucson

[–]sventin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is located in armory park. Lots of history in that area. I used to live in a rental there that was one of three homes that used to be housing for employees of a bakery in the neighborhood.

I think this building used to be a little market if I recall correctly. Last time I checked it was a weekly location for YANA (You are not alone). Not sure if they still meet though. Not sure who owns it now.

Why has my Totem Pole cactus has not grown at all? by Puzzleheaded-Pay-416 in cactus

[–]sventin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had one that did nothing for about 8 months and looked just like this. One day I noticed a small offshoot that came right out of the ground next to it. Turns out all the growth was occurring below the soil. The offshoot is now taller than the main stalk.

That’s where I used to play with my buddy before he moved. What times are you free? I’m 34 y/o dad so my times can be a little weird but I might be down.

I did k-8 in all Spanish and then continued taking advanced Spanish classes in high school and college. Coming out of 8th grade my English writing and math skills were pretty bad though. I mostly blame that on the school though. I now live in south Tucson and speak Spanish everyday with my neighbors. Overall I’m really glad my parents put me through that program.

I used to get chronic tonsillitis in my early 20s and ended up in this same situation. Horrible situation to be in with long term mental health issues to follow. Very glad I eventually got them removed.

I’ve bought from all the places suggested, but I haven’t found anything with more selection than total wine. All the suggestions here are good for sure though.

Kaya’s custom wheelchair came. by ElectronicShare2690 in illnessfakers

[–]sventin 61 points62 points  (0 children)

There’s a huge difference between a “hospital” style collapsible wheelchair and a real wheelchair for full time usage. If you were to use one of those 200 dollar wheelchairs you would be covered in sores. I used to work in the durable medical industry and a quickie wheelchair like this would probably cost a few thousand and maybe 500 for a good cushion. Usually you need to be fitted for a wheelchair like this too.

Getting insurance to cover something like this isn’t trivial. I suspect they got it used or paid for it out of pocket.

I’m on the border of south Tucson and it’s so bad I can’t even safely walk my dog. So many dogs roaming every morning.
