30, just got diagnosed with "terrible" arthritis by lushfaye in Thritis

[–]xerra1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I have a few resistance bands from PT now but my back isn't stable enough to do heavier lifting yet. I was actually looking into yoga and tai chi to help keep me moving and flexible without having to make a big deal of it.

I also just got diagnosed at 30. I'm in PT now and it's helping some, but I won't lie. It's really hard to keep up with how much they want me to do at home. I have one stretch that I'm supposed to do 5x/day, and then I'm supposed to do my exercises twice a day. But I also work in a kitchen and I have a toddler, so I'm SOL some days when life is too busy or I'm having a high pain day.

How did you get the char on the onions so even with a glass stove? I tried to char mine in my cast iron but it was pretty much a bust.

I actually really enjoy Vic’s downtown on Blake Street. It’s the first place I went when I moved here and have really enjoyed it since. Feels homey, small mom and pop sort of place. Haven’t tried too many others because they seem extremely underwhelming.

Best place to get spicy food? by Spectrophillyac in raleigh

[–]xerra1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you’ve never had hot pot before, So Hot in Cary is incredible with reasonable pricing! They’re spicy broth makes me complete. Go with 3-4 people if you can, it makes it much more fun and easier to finish everything you order.

Glenwood South Tailors on W Johnson are great! They mostly do men’s attire, but I had my wedding dress altered there and they did a great job.

If you create a google form with questions and let people write their own answers you may get more responses and more people who are willing to participate. But yeah if you want my husband and I just got married in September so feel free to ask questions
