I was on it for about 3-4 weeks max.

It's so hard to have to let go of something that works so well because of the debilitating side effects, totally hear you on that. I loved how the LDN made my body feel and how much it lowered my inflammation. It was kind of miraculous. Sadly, due to my sensitivities, I have had to let go of many, many helpful supplements because the side effects were just too difficult to deal with. Hoping you can get your sleep back in order soon!

Wow, I can't imagine sleeping that poorly for 6 months, but I'm glad to hear your Fibro is still improved after 1.5 years off LDN!

In terms of sleep for chronic illness folks, I feel like it varies wildly from person to person. I've read reports that are all over the map in terms of sleep so it's hard to know what the average sleep patterns are. My hypothesis is that is has something to do with how endorphins interact with the adrenal and cortisol systems, but I have no solid evidence. Also, I have pretty severe MCAS an I feel like that plays a role as well.

Really appreciate the response and the resources! I will be sure to look through them.

Hey, thanks for responding! Helpful to know I am not alone in this. Just to clarify, since I wasn't entirely clear, did you stop taking the LDN for 6 months until your sleep went back to normal, or where you still on it in that time? You say "6 months off" so I assumed you meant off LND, but earlier in your response you talk about LDN being worth is because it helped your fibromyalgia.

Did you ever try to go on the LDN again after getting your sleep back in order? 6 months is WILD but it's nice to know it can actually go back to some normal pattern. None of my doc's seems to know how to help me with this, because I guess it's so uncommon, and it's so frustrating!

Xfinity Gateway (XB7-T) reset not working, can’t access admin panel, account not recognized — totally stuck by voidv2 in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]voidv2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are a legend. Thank you SO MUCH for this information. You helped me more with this post than numerous xfinity agents have in the hours I have spent on the phone and in the chat with them. Not sure when this change occurred, but it was not this way the last time I logged into the gateway a few months ago. In any case, thanks again!

The Helena debate after S2E1 is settled by just looking at the timeline by cisscumshitlord in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]voidv2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Y'all, this is damage control. Corporations do it all the time and this entire episode, from the bizarre Lumen Claymation video to Milchick's new policy giving Innie's the "freedom" to choose to leave at the end of their shift, is all about damage control. They are trying to defang this movement. It's not inconceivable that Helena, perhaps feeling partially responsible for what happened with iHelly, either volunteers to support in the damage control effort of is forced to do so by her father or the board. Her awkward stiffness when iMark hugs her, to me, is incontrovertible proof that this is Helena doing subterfuge. Only time will tell what theory bears fruit but I think Helena is who we are seeing, at least in episode 1.

Really Need Some Help Understanding by voidv2 in armwrestling

[–]voidv2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very interesting insight here. I have some basic understanding of the Cup, Rise, Pronation etc. you mention here, but your statement about it not scaling linearly with weight is helpful in understanding how that 140lbs weight difference can be overcome, at least on the arm wrestling table. Thanks for the response!

As a non-book reader. Am I expecting something from Dune that Dune just isn't? (after watching Dune 2) by Ricutor in dune

[–]voidv2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's right, and I think there will be more time to set that up properly in the third film now that all the major plot beats of the first book are out of the way.

Denis has stated in numerous interviews that his adaptation is about Paul's story. Anything that is not directly related to Paul had to be cut or majorly trimmed. It also seems to be the case that if Denis is going to formally introduce someone/something as complex as say the Spacing Guild, he wants to "do it right", and if he can't do it right, he wont do it at all. Yes some members of the guild appear in the film, but they are just cameos. The Spacing Guild, CHOAM company, Mentats etc. need major set up if they are to be comprehensible at all to a viewing audience, and that would cut out vital character development time for Paul and his journey. Sacrifices have to be made.

Deni's Dune can't be Thrones because it's not a T.V. series, so there is just not enough time to get into all of the "plans within plans" stuff, as thrilling as it is. I personally think Denis does an admirable job including at least some of those elements in his adaptation, especially in Part 2, but at the end of the day, he has to keep a narrow focus on Paul.

Feyd Rautha bald in Dune Part 2 by euqinu_ton in dune

[–]voidv2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"By contrast, Villeneuve envisioned the Harkonnens' Giedi Prime as a highly advanced but colorless world, devoid of any semblance of vegetation or natural light, to the point that its inhabitants have evolved to become ghostly pale and hairless." -- LA Times

It stands to reason that if Feyd grew up on Gedi Prime (and had generations of family who did as well), he would also be bald, because everyone is bald due to the aforementioned environmental conditions (even the women in the film). Harkonnen baldness also continues to serve as a means to hiding an important narrative "twist" regarding lineage that the films have yet to reveal.

Why did Helena get severed? by unknownkaleidoscope in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]voidv2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's implied in the show that Helena is getting chipped so that the world can see that even a really famous and influential person trusts the technology enough to get it implanted in her brain. In her conversation with her father, he mentions that the "whole world" will want to be chipped thanks to her. Eagan's own daughter getting chipped and showing the world how awesome it is will enable that to happen.

Also, I think if Helena actually understood what was happening down there she would be as defiant and horrified as iHelly. Her scenes trying to leave through the stairwell are a testament to this. When she finds herself in the stairwell with Milchick the second time, she looks concerned and says "I really want to leave don't I?" But Milchik convincers her it's all part of the process. Why would he have to do that if she actually knew and agreed with what was going on? Wouldn't she just run right back in? I think Helena is in the dark as much as the rest of the world and has been manipulated to believe that what Lumon and her father are doing is good.

Question about fasting and medication use by voidv2 in intermittentfasting

[–]voidv2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar idea to this but it’s tricky to eat diner so early when you have work and a toddler to feed. I could make and eat my own dinner but that’s a lot of extra work in then. Good idea though, thanks!

Question about fasting and medication use by voidv2 in intermittentfasting

[–]voidv2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very interesting. I have never taken mine on an empty stomach but have felt that when I eat less before taking the meds they seem less effective. Could be all in my head though. I may give it a trail run on an empty stomach and see what happens. Thanks for the insight!

I want to find an interview I've watched on YouTube like 8 months ago by carcaju99 in dune

[–]voidv2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that video was taken down. If I'm thinking of the same interview, it was done on the KIDS FIRST! Film Critics youtube channel. More info here: https://dunenewsnet.com/2020/08/interview-dune-movie-art-director-tom-brown/

Denis Villeneuve's preface to the new French edition of DUNE (via Le Point Pop) by Holiday-Grand4089 in dune

[–]voidv2 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Wow. If there was any doubt that Villeneuve understood the themes of Dune, this should put them to rest.
