2023.06.01 23:25 Ready-Bat-8824 May 2023 Hilaria’s IG Recap = 18 Posts or “The peasants demand more sexy IG workout videos!”
| The latest iteration of the Baldwin PR plan is so simple it would take world-class clowns to mess it up: let Alec take center stage on his various social media platforms to drive home the point that he still has star power. Have “Hilaria” cut waaaay back on her posting and keep it light and fluffy with zero impromptu press conferences in statement sweatshirts. Maybe if the two people involved weren’t mega narcissists, this plan would have had a shot in hell. But here we are to puzzle over and enjoy the fact that these two cannot figure out how to fake being likable people. So, while the Reddit peasantry has been living life and commiserating over our sleuthing, Emperor Alejandro II and Grifty Guest Baldwin have been busy showing their true colors and likely burning through yet another PR team. Hillary’s IG Stats Hillary’s IG Posts Compared to Alec’s (not counting his three Twitter accounts, podcast IG, and Facebook) - April 2023: Hillary 16 posts & Alec 35 posts
- May 2023 Hillary 18 posts & Alec 67 posts
Pictures of the kids - Hillary = 50 (multiple pix per single posts)
- Alec = 21
- Most exploited/photographed kid = Romeo (featured in 23% of combined parent posts)
- Least exploited/photographed kid = Marilú (featured in .08% of combined parent posts)
- It’s actually an excellent thing both of these wingnuts are posting fewer pictures of Carmen bc the ones we did see were sad and disturbing: a 9-year-old in bright red lips and nails, short shorts, and skimpy tops, preening in the hallway mirror exactly like her vapid mother. Just, no.
May 1 – May 15: Wrapping Up Rust & (Kinda) Following the PR Plan Also Hillary's babies: nails, ring, brows, lashes, cheekbones, lips, & breasts. Calling her one of the many forgotten fifth Beatles isn't it, sir. That popped knee is the hardest working Baldwin. - Vulture published a puff piece entitled “Alec and Hilaria Against the World” (wut) that was egregiously ass-kissy but also hilariously poorly timed on the heels of Alec forgetting a whole ass kid. The IG comments excoriated Vulture and the author, Reeves Wiedeman. My favorite comment was: “Alec and his bat shit crazy wife have done more to unite people from all over the world and from all walks of life than the UN.”
Maybe Wiedeman should have asked, y'know, the world why this is so. - Jared is back on the IG rotation and those poor fried strands are hanging on for dear life.
Good thing they're prepared to quench their thirst. - Alec celebrated Mother’s Day by shouting out the following people in this order: mother Carol, sister Beth, sister Jane, daughter Ireland, “my wife, Hilaria, and all the mothers out there.” He sounded loads more enthusiastic talking about his priest who died.
- He concluded his lackluster mini speech by whispering, “being a mom is something I’ve observed lately up close and, ah, it’s quite something.” What in the Jungian mother-complex is he talking about? Someday I will write a lengthy analysis of Alec’s mommy issues and how Hillary fits in.
May 16-31 Matilde’s PR Plan Goes Out the Window Hillary: \"no espoon para me, grathias.\" - Then, she slapped some free Italian sunglasses on Hillary while she was holding Ila and snapped a pic that she and the sunglass company posted on their respective IG pages and restricted comments rapidamente. I’m no marketing expert but this seems like…less than optimal branding? All quiet on the Matilde front for the rest of May.
Hopefully one of the nannies is enjoying her LE REVEs. - Romeo’s birthday party was Hillary’s first May grid post (i.e. stuff she wants to feature permanently, unlike stories). She posted 8 pictures and Romeo was only in two of them, probably because she was distracted by crafting a caption to align with her PR posting guidelines (Hilaria is a RELATABLE MOM, Hilaria can LAUGH at their KOOKY MISADVENTURES). Mostly she comes off as semi-literate and trying entirely too hard: “Anyone else’s kid tries to buy a giant piñata at party city?!??... Carmen dressed [us] in white and red strips with jeans.” Madam, lots of kids like piñatas and the word is “stripes.” Dr. Kathy, please considering asking your daughter to pay you back for all the years of tuition you paid only to have her pretend that her “multi” brain can’t quite grasp English syntax and spelling.
- In the most fortuitous of coincidences, Alec and Guest Baldwin attended one red carpet event in May (for an organization they donate to, claro) and Ireland announced the birth of her daughter, Holland, that same day. The pix Hillary posted versus the few Alec posted were a delight to behold.
Nothing wrong with the pic on the right. Sad she thinks her worth is attached to a filter. - As Hillary exclusively told People magazine that night in reference to Ireland’s baby, “we’re so excited, we’re just so excited, you’re going to make me cry!” I bet she cried as she realized that her live action remake of Beauty and the Beast (iykyk) was overshadowed by sweet Holland’s birth announcement.
For once, Alec is all of us. Jesus, lady, give it a rest. - So, what’s a step-abuela to do? How to acknowledge the birth but keep the focus on the ostrich feathers? Simple – feature a picture of Alec and Hillary all dressed up literally clinging to all the kids to force a family picture. Now, Alec doesn’t know his ass from his elbow when it comes to SM but Hillary knows – what most people would do is repost the original post. It’s already public and it keeps the focus on the person you’re celebrating. But Hillary celebrates others by saying “happy (event)” then making the accompanying picture about her.
That grip on the little baby thigh : ( - Consequently, Ireland’s new baby got one post from Abuela Hillary that featured Alec, the kids, and her, and Alec posted one picture of him and baby Ireland with the caption “my first baby had her first baby.” Hillary hasn’t liked or commented on any of Ireland’s grid posts about Holland. To put this in perspective, in May Alec posted about Rust 8 times, The Beatles 5 times, and his excruciatingly boring podcast 4 times. Are they happy about the baby? I’m sure they are. Do they know how to show that in ways that don’t involve Alec and Hillary being the main characters? No.
- Perhaps felling particularly edgy after that drive to the PEN America Literary Gala Hillary pouted about her red-carpet thunder being stolen by the coincidental timing of the birth announcement and fussed over her feathers, Alec lost his shit in the most Alec way possible: berating a server trying to do her job and speaking to her in a wildly demeaning and condescending manner.
- According to what the server told Page Six, she was trying to serve the head of the table where Alec was standing and chatting with another guest. The server said, “I’m sorry, sir, but we’re going to have servers walking through the tables here in a minute.” Alec: (very agitated) “So when is it a good time to talk to my friends?" Server: speechless. Alec: “do I have to explain it to you?” Server: “No.” Alec: “Well then, step aside.” Later her coworkers told her he was “calling her a peasant.”
- He didn't deny the interaction, but he did deny calling the server a peasant. He is despicable for talking to anyone this way. The fact that the media picked up this story as opposed to fawning over Hillary’s dress or her pose with the inspirational placard was chef’s kiss gold.
I absolutely believe Alec knows about sociopathy. How you say...comedy gold? - All in the same day, the Undynamic Duo was seen in wild, Alec bashed Martha Ross (the ordacity), Hillary celebrated Ilaria’s 8 months of life by posting a carousel of 6 grid pix, one of which featured the true stars of any Hillary Lynn production: her “lactating” breasts. Where’s that bottle of Gatorade for the elevator pic?
Santa Híláríá de la Leche Materna Falsa. - Then came the video that launched parodies, articles, and posts galore: Hillary’s Humpty Dance (no offense, Digital Underground). Just as she posted herself filtered and angled to showcase an anatomically improbable tiny waist and claimed it was about her pants, or posted a shot of her cleavage and claimed it was about her kid’s 8-month birthday, here she was writhing around in her Victoria’s Secret bra and tiny tank top to garner compliments but pretending she’s invested in giving wellness advice.
- All this accomplished was getting people talking about her yet again as “angry Alec Baldwin’s cringey wife who faked an accent and a heritage and now is doing (insert her antics here).” The subsequent loss of followers was icing on Hillary’s (zero calorie zero flavor) cake.
The creepy eye contact, dear Lord. - Celeste Barber (“We call this workout The Horny Teenager”) and Anna Roisman (“This ejercicia will help your back!”) NAILED their impersonations by capturing what makes Hillary so absurd: she has no self-awareness and no sense of humor - a mix that makes most of what she posts repeatedly miss the mark.
- Her lil’ combo of hip thrusts and side-to sides, modified pushups with bewbs overflowing, and some leg flailing inspired fabulous comments. One person on Celeste’s page noted: “It might seem strange but this is how they work out in Spain,” and one on Anna’s page quipped: “I’m now pregnant with a Baldwinito after watching this.”
- This cringefest was Hillary asking people to praise her for being skinny and sexy (ahem). Body positivity is great, but it is gaslighting when she (or any influencer) claims “anyone can look like me if they hydrate and do these simple exercises a few minutes day.” Hillary has disordered eating, exercises for hours daily while women of color raise her kids, and gets high-end cosmetic procedures to plump, fill, tuck, suck, brighten, and tighten. The shameful part is not that she does this stuff, it’s that she lies about it – poorly.
22 comments = .000022% of her followers. - MichWho tried to show up for Hilz after the humpy yoga debacle by posting this terrible picture that u/Queefer_Sutherland captioned “Easter Island Moai doing Munchausen Mami dirty” and I thought I had died and gone to pepino heaven.
Mich, girl, that witchy ship has sailed. - Of course, PeePaw had to weigh in on Tina Turner’s death by posting a throwback video of the two of them on SNL (he was the least interesting thing about that not so funny skit) and then stealing photographer Brian Hamill’s post about her. Quotation marks are free, Zander.
- Then it was back to the PR plan with Alec posting a cut and paste tribute to his mom on the one-year anniversary of her passing, pictures of him and the older boys getting haircuts, and a pap walk with Alec finally, FINALLY, in sensible footwear for a man with hip and alignment issues and Hillary reluctantly sporting her “relatable mom jeans” (size 2 for all the fat, infertile Karens wondering, size 4 only when she’s hugely pregnant) and her insufferable “Keep Calm and Foca Playa” hat.
I spy with my little eye... I like the ring of \"outrageous embellishments.\" - For last post of the month, Hillary chose a picture of her and Alec in the hospital as he recovers from hip replacement surgery which she claimed was “a long time necessary.” If ever we needed Cher to smack someone and yell, “snap out of it!” it is now.
Losing the fake accent has been a long time necessary, too, Hilz. - In the end, Hillary’s eyebrow fucker-upper* summed it up perfectly by commenting “Glad and happy all went well. Send him a speedy recovery. P.S. Your Brow’s! Brow’s Game Strong.” Wonky apostrophes aside, that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? Hillary’s blowout, lash extensions, micro bladed brows, and plumped lips are the stars and Aleek is a bit player. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

2023.06.01 23:19 b-samaan75 I’m screwed. What should I do?
So basically I fucked up my first year (2.6) and I’m looking for advice on how to study but I kind of feel hopeless because to get 4.0s for the next 3 years (plus retaking a C- in a prereq) is very challenging and I would only have a cGPA of 3.66. Granted one of my exams was lower than I expected and I suspect it to be a huge scantron error, costing 40% of my exam (happened to my midterm in the same class btw, got tons of marks back from it) so I’m in the process of sending a reread request for an extra 0.03 boost for my gpa, but at this point I’m gonna assume my gpa won’t change either way :/ Also my sGPA would be ~3.6 since I’ll be taking mostly science courses, idk if it’ll help me though. I’m not even at the point of the mcat and I’m stressing heavily on all this premed shit. Im wanting to achieve 520+ and i can’t even get above 3.0 first year??? I really want to be a doctor and I know how stressful it is to go to med school and residency, let alone actually working as a doctor. I know I have the potential to excel in all these things but when it comes to study or any other activity, I just lose focus very easily and binge watch YouTube for long periods of time, either that or i keep hyping myself over these posts on Reddit that got into md with a <3.5 gpa and commenting online about how a low gpa can still yield success in md, it’s useless. I try to stop these habits but it’s fruitless. I know stats aren’t everything and you don’t need a 4.0 but let’s be serious… they make up a majority of your application and high stats gives you a realistic chance of getting into us md. The only things I have going for me so far is having research experience this summer, volunteering in a pharmacy for 3 years now, did shadowing at a hospital during summer before gr 12 and I’m gonna be volunteering at my church later this summer, but of course I still need more than that, really need to start clinical hours soon. I keep on taking about MD when I could apply to DO. A part of me wants to go to DO but I want to stick to MD because 1. There aren’t as many countries I could practice in than MD 2. MD had more options for residency 3. family pressure for me to get into MD in case we have to move to another country (a good point ngl) You wanna know something funny? My parents and my sister (who’s a doctor in the US btw) are highly encouraging me to apply right after third year, my cGPA would be a 3.53 at best at that time, and they believe that I have a legitimate chance at getting into us md with THAT…. Even if I got 520+, it may be possible, but I’m most likely to not even get a single interview. The only thing I could think of is doing a masters and getting a 4.0 in that or taking an extra year to boost my gpa. I’m very open in spending more time to improve my application for med school but my family disapproves. At one point they seemed to agree but then disagreed because “this guy got in to us md with a <3.0” type shit, and if I don’t get in by the end of fourth year, they want me to go to the Caribbean, at that point, I’d rather go to DO if there was no other option for me even though it would limit my residency options. I did some research on the Caribbean and i don’t find it reliable to give me a stable future (yes, even the top Caribbean schools, I’m sure u guys know that).
Idk. I never realized there was a problem with me mentally and though I was just lazy until after first year. Maybe I’m overthinking this. Used to get 97 in gr 12 bio and in freshman I got 60 in bio. I heard this is generally a normal transition from hs to uni but I was inactive for most of the time in first year when I comes to studying. I gave up exercising before exams and didn’t return to it. I don’t even draw as much as I used to. I used to draw so much when I was in highschool, but I just stopped… Tbh I think I might have mental issues because every single time I try to stick to a plan to study (or do anything in general) it doesn’t work (as evident by my shitty first year gpa), even second semester I improved in the assignments, but I had family issues during exams (not being able to spend family time as well as missing church to study, still fucking up exams, guess I should never skip church again) I’m currently looking for advice on how to study better and planning to go see a therapist or something cause I really need to get 4.0s in the next three years to even have a reasonable chance at applying to US MD…. Oh and did I mention I was in Canada, making applying to the US that much harder (fuck Canada, fr wish I wasn’t born here)

2023.06.01 22:36 Odd_Competition3858 How do y’all do it??
I’ve worked in pharmacy the past 6 years as a technician while paying my way through a non-medical field degree..
And just..
Wow…
Demanding/clueless patients that don’t understand basic concepts, such as deductibles, out of pockets, formularies, or why the 500$ eye drop the Dr. ordered isn’t readily kept in stock…
(The average IQ of our typical patients is quite scary)
The same issues every week..
Getting your jobs threatened for not doing x number of shots, or having enough auto fills, compliance calls, etc. etc. etc..
All while having hours cut, no significant raises to account for inflation, small bonuses, etc. etc..
As a technician pharmacy has been so fucking draining emotionally and mentally.
Physically it’s an easy job sure and it pays okay (25/hr as a CPhT in the south east)
but I consistently feel dead on the inside.
Every other job I’ve ever had whether in a warehouse, fueling airplanes, or literally parking cars for tips, has been a million times more enjoyable than this.
It breaks my heart every time a new grad mentions how they are 300,000+ because they went to a private college for pharmacy and never worked a retail a day in their life until graduating.
This shit sucks

2023.06.01 22:35 RebDiAngelo0242 I can't wait to see you again <3
Dear Robert, I had been told about you from my peers in the A.A group, my friend mario had told me "There's a guy like you in rehab, who also gets high off lyrica and DXM and he's like you" I was excited for you to get out of rehab and go to the A.A group because I had never met anyone in real life that got high off the same things as me. Never did I expect though for you to be SOOO fucking attractive <3 when I met you for the first time last week and we shook hands, it was like love at first sight. I sat down next to you in the meeting and you looked at me and smiled, that beautiful smile of yours. When we began to speak we both noticed we had ALOT in common and I was in awe. I knew you were obsession and boyfriend material BOTH which is very rare for me. God i love EVERYTHING about you, your style all in black clothes, your cute nose ring, your skin color, your dark brown hair and those cute dimples when you smile <3 I can't stop thinking about you all day everyday, from the moment I wake up to the moment I sleep. We have been having phone calls and we talk about everything and nothing, you dedicated that beautiful song from my chemical romance to me <3 and I gave you a cute braclet and I'm glad to see you wear it everyday. I have been staying sober and you're my #1 reason to do it, you told me you want to see me doing well and not go to the pharmacy and so I haven't gone, even though I have had countless oppportunities and some money to buy lyrica boxes, but you give me a reason to stay sober, I'm following your lead, my wellbeing is in your hands and it couldn't be in better hands. I have been told to take things slowly and be careful because we are soo much alike and i know that if one gets high, the other one will too. I have been told that I'm the negative side that will most likely drag you down, but they're so wrong. I would never drag you down, I love you so much and I also want to see you doing well and if I ever notice or see that I can truly be negative for you, I will step aside, I promise. We took a selfie last night after the meeting, I already have it as my background and how I wish I could put it as my whatsapp profile picture and lie to everyone that you're my hot boyfriend, but I won't because I am truly trying to control myself and take things slow. Most of all to not freak you out even though I feel my emotions are spinning out of control, my heart is pumping again and my life is once again colorful and I'm trying to slow down but it's not gonna work. I have been going to the A.A meeting every single day and I watch you for hours and I can never get enough of seeing you. You're soo perfect and attractive and sweet, you're everything I ever wanted, there isn't a single imperfection with you, I could stare at you 24/7 and STILL not get enough. Last night i fell asleep while staring at our selfie after our phone call <3 It's been SOO LONG since I last had an irl obsession and it's SO exciting and despite going through horrible lyrica withdrawals, I'm happy, YOU make me happy. You might think I'm a quiet girl that never breaks a plate, if you only knew the intense emotions you make me feel, I could pounce on you and rip your shirt off, I wish I could kiss you till we were both out of breath and wanting more. You made my black thoughts emerge into colorful thoughts that have me smiling like an idiot all day, everyday. You always call me or sent me a message in the afternoon to ask me if I'm going to the group and I'm not a mind reader but I'm reading the signs: You can't wait to see me again. Just like I CAN'T WAIT to see you again, how come the hours don't go by faster so it can be 7:30 p.m already and I can see you?? I love you my dear sweet robert.
Yours truly, Alice De Vil

2023.06.01 22:26 th3acer22 Does it all seem like too much sometimes?
I have never been in or heard of a professional industry where your entire job is just getting yanked around by clients at every turn. They want budgets in weeks for plans they have been working on for years. They want a la carte add alternates and unit prices that they can mix and match however they feel fit even though many are price dependent on which ones get accepted. They want to shift every iota of risk onto the contractor whenever possible. I have yet to hear of another industry where the client is allowed to tell the provider of services what their maximum profit margin can be, whether it be on the initial contract or change orders. Then if you make it through the first 50 hoops they still make you drop your pants and nitpick every dollar. 100 plans, 1000 pages of specs, 2-3 weeks, and we won't answer half your questions. Any other organization operating in any other industry with dignity would not waste their time but this is what we have to chase in this one?
My wife is a therapist, can you imagine if a client walked into her office and asked to see her full overhead breakdown and told her she can only tack on 10% fee? Or that they want a 15-minute session and that they want to be charged by the minute not per session. They would get told no that is not how we do business here.
Parents own a restaurant, are people allowed to go in and tell them what they can charge for different dishes? Or go in during lunch service and tell them they need their food within three minutes? They would get told the food will be ready when the kitchen can get to their order.
What makes all of this acceptable in construction? Maybe I am genuinely missing something. I know the stakes and profits are higher, is that why it is acceptable? However, as a worker, that does not benefit us. I know bartenders who make more than I do. My wife makes more than me and works almost half as many hours.
What is the point of this job? To just solve a convoluted puzzle fabricated by the owner and architect while dodging every landmine in a race to the bottom?

2023.06.01 22:22 gisThrowy How I Went from Advair 250/50 Q12 and frequent PRN Albuterol to No Daily Controller
To be frank this community is a bit of a downer,
and I get it. There have been times where my life has felt completely hopeless due to my asthma, and that is why I have come to this community to share what I wish I had known about years ago. Will this work for you? Maybe, maybe not. Your outcomes are based on your own set of factors and there is not a one size fits all solution to this disease process. With that out of the way I feel compelled to tell you that I am a former respiratory therapist and my taper from medications was performed under the guidance of an asthma and allergy specialist.
I grew up in a household filled to the brim with animals, a seven cats at any time type of household. On top of that I have a parent who smoked indoors and in the car.
Throughout my childhood I had no idea that I always smelled like cigarettes. I distinctly remember being told in middle school that I smelled like a cigar, and it’s no wonder that teachers and students alike thought I was a drug user despite this not being the case. I was never able to participate in sports like the other kids. One day I had an episode at school and I was told by my mother that I must just be “overheated.” Things carried on with pseudoscience treatments such as facial steaming and vicks vaporub until one day
I could not breathe. I sat tripoding on the couch for hours before my parents finally buckled down and took me to the doctor where I was formally diagnosed with asthma, given albuterol, and placed on Advair 250/50 and Allegra, which I took throughout my adolescence.
Fast forward fifteen years. Things had not changed for me. My asthma was well controlled and as a result I didn’t think about it too hard, but I was very weak. I suffered from chronic neck and chest pain. The neck pain was close to unbearable and the only relief I got from the chest pain was an occasional sternum crack after which the pain would rapidly return. I began to learn yoga to try to correct some of this pain and thought I was learning and progressing but in actuality I was hyperflexible from weakness and did not understand how to stretch my body properly. It took some time to figure out that my yoga was doing me no good and that is when I turned to bodyweight exercises. I attempted squats, pushups, pull ups, and bodyweight shoulder pressing exercises. The exercises were all performed completely wrong and while I gained a small amount of muscle the pain went nowhere.
Fast forward again to the end of 2019. I was fortunate enough to find a barbell and plate set at good will for $10. I bought a power rack on craigslist and followed the training guide outlined here (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVek72z3F1U&t=581s) and gained a significant amount of weight, somewhere in the ballpark of 30lbs over the course of the pandemic. At the time that this was occurring I became greatly interested in the Wim Hof Method and practiced cold immersion and the breathing exercises daily. The breathing exercises did not fix my breathing
but they made it clear that something was very wrong with the way I was doing it. I did not know at the time that it was due to my diaphragm not being engaged at all.
I ended up moving to the pacific northwest for a short time and while I was there I experienced a reduction in allergies the likes of which I was unaware were possible. It was like night and day, and when I moved back to the south east I was discontented at my newfound condition of feeling terrible all the time again. I continued to stay active in the gym and gained another ten pounds and this is when the wheels started to turn on my condition. In five years I went from 145lbs to 184lbs. This was the first time that I noticed acid reflux. I began taking omeprazole and felt a minor alleviation of symptoms though shortness of breath would occur after eating more often than not. I chalked it up to my stomach being so full that it was compressing my lungs. For the first time in my life I was overweight for my height, if only just slightly. I made the decision to cut 10lbs and began to feel better after doing so over the course of several months.
I moved again to a newly built apartment and noticed a slight improvement in asthma symptoms. I suspect that my previous place had a hidden mold issue but moving was not a total game changer.
I started shopping at whole foods and this was when everything clicked into place,
but not for the reason you’re probably thinking. I started to develop a facial rash underneath my eyes that was accompanied by an inflamed feeling. I had no idea where this was coming from but I was determined to get to the bottom of it, considering that it was
on my face.
I have found relief for asthma in fasting in the past but whenever I would eat again it would just come back, and we have to eat so it felt like it wasn’t worth messing with. This was right around the time that I began seeing my allergist. We went over the typical fare but she was surprised by my PFT, citing it as well above what she would have expected. It was then that she told me that what she suspected was not asthma so much as VCD (
https://www.mountsinai.org/locations/grabscheid-voice-swallowing-centeconditions/vocal-cord-dysfunction) She prescribed me pursed lip breathing exercises for when I felt symptoms coming on and they offered slight relief.
I began looking into factors that exacerbate VCD and discovered that reflux can be a major player. But what was I going to do to fix it? I was already taking omeprazole and tums as needed. This was when I started investigating the diaphragm’s role as it pertains to acid reflux (
https://erj.ersjournals.com/content/52/suppl_62/PA2446.) I figured that there really are no downsides to strengthening the diaphragm so down the rabbit hole I went. I found this reddit post on the diaphragm(
https://www.reddit.com/Fitness/comments/32wz2s/diaphragm_the_neglected_muscle/) and will be forever grateful to the op because this is when things began to change for me. If you are serious about changing the way your body functions forever do not skip this post. I will reiterate once more that
this post changed my life.
The more that I used my diaphragm the more I realized that
I hated eating. I never felt like I could breathe afterwards. I even ended up visiting urgent care due to chest pain and shortness of breath during this time as I was scared that there may be something wrong with my heart. Docs found nothing out of order, which allayed my fears of a heart attack but left so many questions on the table.
Why did I feel this way? I could not figure out the mysterious rash and it kept coming back and kept coming back. It was gross and I needed it to go away.
I was genuinely ready to give everything up to fix this. I started my elimination diet. I only ate meat, fruit, nuts, and vegetables. I stayed away from any type of dairy or gluten containing product. The difference was night and day. I went from feeling terrible every time I ate to feeling invigorated.
As time went by I felt that I needed to indulge in snacks and this is when I figured out the rash. As it turns out the rash is caused by any foods that contain sunflower oil. After not eating the way I used to it became very apparent that the sunflower oil was also causing some shortness of breath and all around itchiness as well as some joint pain in the hands.
Since starting this endeavor I have reintegrated dairy and wheat separately and have noted the following. Wheat causes chest pain and facial itchiness(for me), and dairy causes joint stiffness in my hands and back. Did I mention my favorite food was pizza? Double trouble on that one. (
https://acaai.org/allergies/allergic-conditions/food/wheat-gluten/),(
https://opa.org.uk/whats-the-link-between-dairy-and-acid-reflux/), (
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/asthma/expert-answers/asthma-and-acid-reflux/faq-20057993)
Now that I have eliminated those foods I have rapidly become more able to activate my core which helps a lot with pain in the distal parts of my limbs which up until this point have been burdensome.
The inflammation in my life began to subside and with it came the awareness of just how much mucous is sitting in my nostrils and dripping down into my throat at any given time. I remembered back to when I had been sick at the beginning of the year and was so stuffed up that I resorted to pouring water into my nasal cavity and just how much dark green mucous had come out when I did. I eventually came to the realization that all of the things that I inhale that cause me to flare up are just sitting inside of my face making everything worse. Nasal irrigation completely took the place of the fluticasone spray that I had used religiously in the past. I use a neti pot available at any pharmacy (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62vm1Mb0T38).
The final thing I’d like to touch on is the chest expander. Until using an exercise band to perform the exercises listed in these videos(
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2npj4EqCpk&t=977s), (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1BpPPL6AWk&t=371s) I had no idea that my ribcage was severely atrophied from breathing like an asthmatic my entire life. My wife was surprised by how much muscle I had appeared to have gained from using it for only a couple of days and I intend to buy a nice chest expander when I become strong enough to need more. I have also begun to supplement kettlebell with inverted breathing patterns to further work the diaphragm with great success.
I am not here to try to sell you anything. I am just a normal person like you who has gone from coughing up green sputum on a daily basis to blowing “superhuman” PFTs. I have always been inspired by people like Joseph Pilates and B.K.S. Iyengar who supposedly overcame asthma with exercise and I feel that I have come one step closer to being like them.
As I said in the beginning of this post I no longer require the use of daily Advair and I only keep my prescriptions just in case. I am still sensitive to triggers like cigarette smoke, strong perfumes, and sickness but at the very least they no longer completely debilitate me. I have continued to take a daily allergy reducer in the form of cetirizine but I do not notice if I forget a day.
I know there is no one size fits all solution, but I hope that this post serves to expedite strides in a healthful direction for the members of this community. Good luck with your treatments.

2023.06.01 22:13 bluegatoraide nowhere else to vent, shortage related update
hi all :D I started Wegovy two weeks ago and am down 8 pounds (woo!). My starting prescription was for two boxes, and when I went to pick it up I got one, not realizing I had paid for two and not gotten it. I only found out about the shortage when I went back to ask the pharmacy where my other damn box was (CVS). Im not sure I would have started if I knew about the shortage.
HOWEVER, I am very privileged and thankful to have an involved doctor. She let me know that yes, June 2nd is when they're getting updates about restocking. She let me know she can have my prescription moved elsewhere, that we can bump to 1 from .25 if needed, or switch to Saxenda. THREE options!!!!! I wasn't expecting any, and I am very thankful.
I just thought it would be good to let everyone know that at least in Boston area/MA that prescribers and pharmacies should know really, really soon. Keep your heads up!

2023.06.01 21:48 Remarkable_Self_1146 Day after pill (Advice)
Hello everyone , I came here for support, I had unprotected sex the 20th of May (he finished with oral and I’m sure there was no semen inside me ) anyways I took 1 levonorgestrel pill that a girlfriend gave me and I was not sure about the expiry date and the effectiveness of it I wen to the pharmacy and after 12 hours took the ellaone pill . I was ovulating on the week from the 4th till the 10 th of June, but took both pills not knowing of the lack of effectiveness of the same after ovulation.Anyaways I’m now 8 days late for my period and I have done two pregnancy tests on the 3rd day of my missing period, I’m thinking to test again this upcoming Saturday that will be 15 days from the date that I last had sex.What are the chances of me being pregnant?I think I’m being paranoid and the stress is the main cause of my late period. Please comment if you have had any similar issue.

| On the way to my last delivery right now, and Amazon's map took me down this road. In the backwoods of Iowa right now. I'm from LA and don't have the most experience when it comes to driving on gravel/dirt roads. Didn't look like a wet road when I approached it, plus it didn't show any alternate routes. On the phone with support now. I'm hoping I'm not paying for the tow out of my own pocket, that would be more than the amount im getting for completing the block. And I'm an hour out from my house/warehouse. Does anyone have any advice, please. submitted by matt_yesc to AmazonFlexDrivers [link] [comments] |
2023.06.01 21:27 autotldr Sky News: President Joe Biden trips and falls during graduation ceremony
This is the best tl;dr I could make,
original reduced by 29%. (I'm a bot)
Joe Biden has tripped and fallen at a graduation ceremony in a US Air Force academy.
The US president, 80, was quickly helped up by three people, and walked back to his seat unassisted.
As the president was helped up, he pointed behind him, seeming to indicate what he tripped over.
White House communications director Ben LaBolt said Mr Biden was fine.
Mr Biden, who stood for much of the hours-long ceremony to shake hands with graduates, appeared to trip over something and fell to his knees towards the end.
The US president was also seen stumbling on a flight of steps at the Itsukushima Shrine in Japan during his G7 visit last month.

2023.06.01 21:08 irishwhiskeysour Didn't even really notice my drinking accelerating again
I have posted here before from a much lower place, but since then I have significantly improved and this year I started off really strong. I did Dry January with only a couple slips, and more importantly (to me) I actually continued to have reasonable drinking habits all the way into March. For me, this means not drinking more days of the week than drinking, and not getting any mega-hangovers or blacking out at all when I do drink. Might be a low bar, but it was working for a while. School and work were keeping me busy and I was doing great on fitness goals (working out at the gym at least every other day). Around March, school got harder and I got busier, so the fitness goals kinda went out the window. Soon, I was basically in survival mode and kinda forgot about my other goals as well. Suddenly I was drinking almost everyday and blacking out occasionally on the weekends again.
Once school ended for the summer, I had about 2 weeks between then and a big vacation to southern CA my friend and I had been planning since December. Obviously I wasn't gonna bother getting back on track in that time. I was bummed I had let go of my fitness goals and actually gained probably 10-15 lbs (kinda a lot on my small frame) but knew I had no real shot of making a difference before the trip, so I decided to "prepare for the trip" by drinking even more "improve my tolerance" and walking like 7 miles a day to prepare for getting around Los Angeles sans car (and because spending more time walking prevented me from improving my tolerance too much). Obviously this was misguided. By the time we left, I was accustomed to at least one bottle of wine and 2+ hours of walking daily. I had a lot of fun on the trip actually.
However, after the trip I heard from a mutual friend that the friend I went with was annoyed about how much I prioritized alcohol on the trip. I hadn't realized I was doing it at the time, but looking back I think I get what she meant.
One night, I (24f) walked about half a mile alone at night in downtown LA to get to the nearest liquor store because my friend said she didn't want to go out that night (she was quite tired). I then drank like 4 mini-wine bottles that night and was a hungover mess in the morning, all while my friend was apparently trying to relax/sleep. I also repeatedly turned down any food place that didn't serve booze, because frankly if I couldn't get a little buzz with the meal I wasn't very interested. Even if we were starving. Even if the nearest bar was miles away. Even when my friend wanted to go somewhere less expensive because she is more averse to credit card debt than I am (she is definitely the responsible one). In retrospect, I also dragged us to more bars and spent more on alcohol than my friend was probably comfortable with. Apparently there were also some drunken rants that were much less entertaining to other people than they were to myself.
We probably also did miss out on some fun activities that I didn't act enthused about because I knew alcohol wouldn't be involved. We also did not spend much time actually relaxing aside from when drinking, which was fine with me, but I later learned that drinking is actually not relaxing for everyone and my friend was super burnt out from work and was really hoping to have some more down time on the trip. I also realized upon hearing about this that part of the reason my friend kept offering me edibles is because she noticed I wanted to drink less when I was violently stoned, which made me less annoying apparently.
I am MORTIFIED that I, while not ruining outright, definitely detracted from this trip with my preoccupation with alcohol. We had been planning and looking forwards to this since December.
I feel so bad for being a shitty travel companion, especially after we had been so excited and I had been at least half-assedly working on myself to try to be a better person to be around.
This is mainly a vent post, but I would love to hear any advice on making it up to this friend and proving that I can be a better travel companion in the future. I enjoyed traveling with her, and logistically we enjoy many of the same activities, have a similar budget and schedule and have been close for a long time-- so I was hoping that this would be the first of many vacations with her and potentially others in the future. Really hoping I didn't do any serious damage to the friendship, and I am not sure how I can even figure out how bad it is or how to fix it.
Obviously this has also made me reevaluate my relationship to alcohol as well. Big surprise, a couple weeks off and a couple months of moderation did not magically fix me. I also want to get back to my fitness goals, as the pictures from this vacation definitely show the weight gain. Alcohol had never made me gain weight in the past, but as my drinking got worse this past semester it was accompanied by binge eating and heavy meals in general, partly in a misguided attempt to minimize hangovers and not get too drunk too fast. That and having very little self control around food while drunk.
I am definitely still in a better place than I was 2 years ago, but I am disappointed with myself.

2023.06.01 20:59 SeaworthinessNo6781 Pharmacies with 10mg Ritalin in NYC?
Hi! I live in Downtown Brooklyn in NYC and have been unable to fill my 10 mg Ritalin prescription at the CVS near me. They informed me that all CVS’s in the area (Brooklyn, possibly specifically downtown) use the same supplier so if they don’t have it, most won’t.
Has anyone been able to pick up their’s recently at other pharmacies and/or neighborhoods? If so, please let me know the name & address of pharmacy. I only have enough to get me through the weekend so I’m kind of freaking out.
Thanks in advance!
