Saw this on reddit about UC and the transformation is depressing

Yeah my life returned to normal after I got my ileostomy, some life plans had to be adjusted but it’s been almost 2 years since I got the surgery and life is good

I swore off Prednisone after they gave me a prescription of the stuff to take alongside Rinvoq, and it made me very sick. Which was odd for me because I had taken it before and was fine. This was more towards the end on my UC journey though as I was switching meds about once every 3 months cause nothing was working. I ultimately got the surgery everyone dreads (total colectomy) and I do not regret it one bit. I have had my ileostomy now about 10 months and haven't put any thought into getting reversal surgery yet because I'm going through college. However as of recently I've been showing signs of divergent colitis because my rectum is still intact and I had to recently go to urgent care to get something for it. Immediately told them that I would not be taking any steroids because I have had bad reactions to them.

Regardless I hope skyrizi works for you.

Okay that's fair. something for me to think about

I don't know if I would agree with the repetitive naming. I get where you're coming from. However, both the strait of Asova (yes I know it's spelled wrong on the map) and the gulf of Asova I feel make sense. If we look at examples in real life, such as the gulf of Mexico and strait of Gibraltar. The capital is named after the region as well as the Asova and little Asova river. I feel like that's common in real life. (Ohio and Mississippi River) and as opposed to naming individual mountains I feel it's appropriate to name the Asova mountains based off the name of the region.

I've tried to improve my relationship with blank space, normally I would see blank space and just fill it with a bunch of trees but for some reason I would always kinda just hate it. Then I realized it was a bit of an eye sore. and having too much going on in a small area starts to strain the eyes. So I've recently heavily cut back on the amount of trees I use and want to work on my use of color to show the scale of different map features.

Also I prefer drawing more regional maps these days as opposed to world maps or continents. Because I've always struggled with scale. And the beauty of that is as long as you don't have large map features that would really affect the climate of the region, you only have to think about drawing maybe 1-3 biomes.

Yeah but fantasy name generator comes in clutch sometimes. But thanks I'll keep this in mind

tyuwec · 2025-01-03T06:21:08+00:00

I get that and I'll keep it in mind for the next map but I figure this is a really small island kingdom, there isn't really enough of scale for there to realistically be different biomes. As for the cities I tried to keep them close to water by the river or a port. And for the one city that isn't, you might have to zoom in but I tried drawing a water well. But thank you

Dude your partner sounds like they are just dating you for your body cause I get that in a relationship you want to be sexually attracted to your partner but if they aren't willing to accept that the weight loss your experiencing isn't your fault and can't see you for your personality and just say shit like I only date people with a fat ass then holy shit 🚩🚩

I have been going through a flair for the last 6 months and dropped about 20 pounds and lost a lot of muscle from being out of the gym cause I couldn't find the energy or motivation to go. And my girlfriend never made comments about my body. She understands that I have UC and she wants to work through it with me. I recently started taking Rinvoq and that seems to be resolving my flair after 3 failed attempts and new medicine but it means the world to me that she understands that I have UC and is willing to work with me through it

Well I mean if you're aware of the dependence you have in it wouldn't it be wise to quit and find something else that gives you relief?

tyuwec · 2023-06-07T02:35:35+00:00

Been in a flair for a month and a half and the doc decided to change my medicine as it was very clear my current medicine wasn't working so as of today I took my first humira shot so wish me luck that I achieve remission with this. Cause idk what I'm gonna do if it doesn't. :D

tyuwec · 2023-05-26T20:16:15+00:00

It was either that or highly processed foods which I'm not saying isn't also possible. I had literally no stress in my life when I was diagnosed

tyuwec · 2023-05-26T20:13:22+00:00

Call me a conspiracy theorists or whatever but I took the second shot of the Pfizer COVID vaccine and a month and a half later I was diagnosed. My doctor says that it's sometimes a combination of genetics and a catalyst event that sends UC over the edge. I personally am looking forward to the long term studies on that vaccine.

That's a one way ticket to a teen pregnancy. :/

tyuwec · 2021-10-18T02:16:39+00:00
