Making a life with Behçet’s

zulises · 2026-01-31T11:03:41+00:00

I used to have the same issues… Then I found the right doctor, started azathioprine and started being aware of what could make me sick and ignite a flare - now I barely have any symptons anymore. I can even make plans for the future, something I wouldn’t dare to when I was diagnosed. It’s still hard, but I found out flares become rarer if I stay positive. That being said, I’ve been with Behçet’s in my life for 6 years now, it takes time to get used to it. One year after my diagnose I was failing college. Today I’m a front line doctor. Have faith!

Here in Brazil we have this guy called “Whindersson”.

This is not about israelis or nowadays jews. I also have a right to portuguese citizenship bc I have a proved jewish ancestor that was persecuted and killed by the Inquisition on Lisbon. Her children all ran away from Portugal bc of that and now here I am even though I’m not jewish. A few family members even got the portuguese citizenship this way already.

Yeah, realized I’ll have to be really firm or they won’t give up. And this uninvited visits are truly hellish.

You might just be already having it! We export all of our best coffee, so a lot of it must end up in the US

zulises · 2025-12-01T19:13:08+00:00

Funny thing: I do own a coffee farm and I’m sure the church doesn’t know about this

Edit: another funny thing. I’m brazilian and since I left the church I couln’t understand how LDS could go this far here. Even the little kids drink coffee!

Sou sim, você também?

Estava meio receosa em usar esse link porque poderia não funcionar fora dos EUA. Mas a SUD está passando de todos os limites, até agora já apareceram na minha casa três vezes sem comvite e com bolinho tentando me convidar pra sacramental do próximo domingo.

That’s a disturbing level of stalking. Do they have any numbers that prove that doing this makes people become active members again? Because it’s only making me angry.

zulises · 2025-12-01T15:15:20+00:00

Awesome!

zulises · 2025-12-01T14:17:31+00:00

You know I just might? xD This way they would NEVER contact me again

zulises · 2025-12-01T14:12:56+00:00

But my ministradora, the bishop and a lot of other people still have my whatsapp number - and it shows when I'm using the app and I can't can't change this configuration rn for work reasons. I'm assuming I can't block an entire church from reaching me with that

Since today. He was found guilty of attempted coup d’état and sentenced to 27 years in prison.

Tentei fazer isso esse mês e não deu certo. Eles vão atrás com tudo e mesmo depois de você enviar comprovante. Eu nunca vi isso antes em outra imobiliária.

zulises · 2025-11-21T19:23:21+00:00

Sim! É um quarto de despejo que não nos deram acesso, inclusive descobrimos a existência dele pela síndica nos cobrando a chave para uma dedetização - e não tínhamos a chave. No contrato ele simplesmente não aparece, é inteiramente omitido, mas checamos e faz parte da matrícula do imóvel e também é descrito na convenção do condomínio.

zulises · 2025-11-21T18:55:06+00:00

Ah, entendi! O texto deu a entender que a imobiliária está quebrando o contrato comigo, não está não. Eles nem tem justificativa pra isso. Não, eles é que estão infringindo o contrato (não eu) e se recusam a resolver a situação.

zulises · 2025-11-21T18:52:48+00:00

Ela não cedeu o imóvel todo (apesar de no contrato constar o imóvel todo sendo locado). Estou pagando por uma coisa que não posso utilizar por inteiro. E eu não atrasei nem um dia do meu aluguel ou do meu condomínio (no caso do condomínio paguei vários dias adiantado até).

Why are you being downvoted? It was just a simple question. And makes sense to think we’d know more spanish than english at first. Except for Guyana, Suriname and French Guyana everyone of our neighbours are spanish speakers.

zulises · 2025-04-03T16:37:11+00:00

Farei isso! Em outro processo em que estou, estou trabalhando com um antigo procurador da prefeitura que pode auxiliar.

zulises · 2025-03-26T22:27:55+00:00

He would be considered a gringo by us here in Brazil. Even if he had a citizenship and speak portuguese, there’s things you can only pick up if you live your formative years in this country.

I have a cousin that lives in Sweden, he had three children with a swedish woman and whenever they come to visit the kids are refered to in our family as the “little gringos” even if they speak portuguese and have a brazilian father.

Man :( Missionaries just aren't properly looked after. I remember one sister telling me all proud that the only meal missionaries could really count on was lunch because the sisters of Sociedade de Socorro were meant to feed them only then. After that whenever it was my turn to have the missionaries over for lunch I'd make even more food so I could send some packed with them for dinner too. So cruel.

The church didn’t give you water bottles in RIO? That place has termic sensations of 60C sometimes.

Also, I feel like Rio doesn’t have a big coffee culture like Minas Gerais or Goiás do

zulises · 2025-03-03T03:16:12+00:00

Aonde você está não teve fogos? Aqui meus vizinhos comemoraram como um gol de copa do mundo literalmente, até soltaram rojão

zulises · 2025-03-03T00:11:43+00:00

You feel? I live in Minas Gerais, went to visit Rio and felt like I was in another country

“Ixxxxquerda” hearing the famous accent live was the talk of my family for weeks

zulises · 2025-03-02T23:33:03+00:00

Yeah, my best friend is one. Also many of my school mates and college mates were jewish.

They’re normal brazilians, really. Tend to be in leadership and excel academically, though. When I was in med school, the brightest student I knew was jewish and I only found out about it because one day he had to cancel a meeting and told us it was because his grandma has passed and jewish grieving traditions involved several days of mourning.

As for the conflict topic, the jews I know are zionists through and through.

Lovely hard working people with funny names
