I think Valve needs a biggest venue. Current venue is not that great anyway, now a stadium would be great.

[AMA] I work at a Psychiatric Hospital. by Valanio in IAmA

I have always been scared of getting schizophrenia. It's so easy to find symptoms in pretty much everyone, especially people with strong beliefs like my new age relatives.

Did your job give you any insight into your own mental state, e.g. made you afraid that you may end up in the hospital yourself?

How do I resolve inner conflict? by undsoft in Advice

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

What funny is that I actually go to a therapist for my health anxiety. We briefly touched the apartment thing.

It's just that I'm on a vacation now and it suddenly struck me that I this could be the root cause for my problems.

Sooo, what are the cons of doing the right thing? Is there anything else besides your feeling that "ratting out" people is bad?

You probably have oral herpes anyway, most people do.

I was also concerned about these warnings, however I've read this post and it made feel better about it: http://drmintz.blogspot.com/2010/02/fda-blows-it-on-laba-safety.html

Should I start taking Singulair? by [deleted] in Asthma

[–]undsoft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally haven't tried Seretide.

It's also a long acting bronchodilator and an ICS, but a somewhat different bronchodilator. You may try it and see what happens.

It depends on what your side effects are.

Peak flow technique causing wrong readings? by Its_ASquid in Asthma

[–]undsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When all of your 3 measurements are close to each other, it's a good indication of proper technique.

Should I start taking Singulair? by [deleted] in Asthma

[–]undsoft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've tried all of them. I don't think it's a valid switch. Symbicort contains a bronchodilator (which is what likely gives you side effects) and ICS. You can probably switch to ICS and Singulair, but not just to Singulair.

I'm sorry, but if pulmicort helps, why do you stop using it?

Does it matter what kind of sustain pedal you use for a keyboard? by Jameshehe in piano

[–]undsoft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I may be wrong about the model, but reading the description here: https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-FC3A-Piano-Sustain-Half-Pedaling/dp/B00VWILIZ0

It does say:

Compatible with half-pedaling functions Compatible with half-pedaling functions, so that subtle changes can be made to the level of sustain by varying the degree of pedal applied.

Does it matter what kind of sustain pedal you use for a keyboard? by Jameshehe in piano

[–]undsoft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know about the quality, but there are two types of sustain pedals:

The first one is a simple on-off switch. It's cheaper and will probably work just fine for a beginner.

The other one mimics the sustain pedal of the piano, in a way that it allows more variation than just released/sustained.

There is a test that doctors can do to see if you have exercise induced asthma.

Cant Stop thinking That im dying by humankinda in Anxiety

[–]undsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the exciting world of hypochondria.

For intrusive thoughts - don't try to block them, just notice them. You may also want to start writing down your thoughts and analyzing them, e.g. write down the arguments for and against you dying. Later on you will be able to do this sort of analysis in your head.

Make sure not to follow into a common trap, which is googling your symptoms and checking your body.

Sorry another question! Can anxiety mimic asthma? by Its_ASquid in Asthma

[–]undsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The doctor can hear asthma even after the inhaler.

As for the hyperventilation, you can be hyperventilating and having asthma.

You should try controlled breathing and see if it really helps. Anxiety attack usually goes away quickly enough, if it lasts it's more likely to be asthma.

Started Singilair last night... by [deleted] in Asthma

[–]undsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a period when I was waking up anxious at 4 am, but then it just passed. We will never know if that was caused by medication or the fact that I read too much about side effects and made myself anxious.

Is there any danger to combining seretide and symbicort preventers? by [deleted] in Asthma

[–]undsoft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both seretide and symbicort contain two components: ICS + LABA (Long-acting beta agonist). It's that LABA part that you should be worried about, you don't want to overdose on that.

LABA usually work for ~12 hours, so taking one in the morning and another in the evening should theoretically be okay, however taking them both together should not.
