    Of course two days before a trip I get the worst period I’ve had in months. Pain, mess and crying.

    But on the other hand… two days until a trip!

      Mega sympathy! I’m much enjoying dealing with that less often, but the lack of predictability makes the emotional suckfulness much harder to keep in check. Easier to not be blubbering mega bitch when you know that’s the reason

        Mine’s pretty regular but still get blindsided by the emotional disaster I become for a few hours until it clicks. Stupid brain.

          Previously predictable to 13 hours. And possibly PMDD if I’d ever heard of it earlier. Choc/heat/drugs as you need

      Typical. Mine loves a good holiday and usually waits until I’m away. Especially if I’m doing something awkward like camping somewhere that doesn’t have toilets.

      it’s because you are relaxed and have less stress hormones

      annoying but true

      travel often makes periods worse because sitting in very upright positions for long times increases blood pressure to lower half of body

        I haven’t started the travel, so the stress is still hiiiigh. Leaving in under 48hr, won’t even pack until we’re a few hours from leaving. Thankfully the flight isn’t pretty short!

    I’m so annoyed that I picked up the gardening, budgeting and cooking skills and was about to add foraging… but I got the chronic fatigue/disability and broken stomach debuffs. Severely limiting the personal advantages.

    They all combine so well. If I hadn’t been stopped I would have been too strong

      That sucks. Sorry to hear. Foraging sounds cool.

      I have crohns and most of my hobbies are “outdoorsy” stuff. When I’m flaring I just wish I fkn loved video games and such!

    Holy crap. Oil in the wok was a bit too hot/water content in food a bit to high and oil splattered onto the gas burner - whoosh. got it stopped but not before it made a mess of the range hood. Holy crap that was close. Gonna need a new rangehood (from whom does one even buy a rangehood?). Excuse me while I go freak out in the corner for a bit

      Scary. Is there any chance fire could have spread up the ducting in the rangehood? If so you might want the brigade to check the roof as a precaution - and you many need to get a report for an insurance claim too.

        I believe its ok but thanks. I stuck my head in the roof cavity and all ok and I got it turned off nearly immediately. A bit of the plastic is melted and the fine mesh.

    I think it’s really important that YarraByte creates this thread.

    I see Lemmy 1.0 (currently in Alpha) has post scheduling by default, which I’m sure will solve this almost completely. In the meantime, have mods/admin exhausted all other options to keep YB stable? Could we chip in for a good quality webcron service? They’re pretty cheap.

        that first kind of cough medicine gave me weird arse dreams. In one I was being chased by a mean Ricky Gervais. I like Ricky and was so confused. Another I met a childhood friend.

    Almost stepped on a tiny skink. Managed to hover my foot mid step as it ran away. So glad I didn’t kill it! I would have been so sad.

    Okay so I may have stayed up a bit too late watching Mentour Pilot on yt. This is satiating my aircraft investigations craving.

    I have never felt safer on a plane now, honestly.

    can I just say your food becoming like poison is not a good way to lose weight

    I would stand in my pantry surrounded by food and nearly everything that I could eat I would have had to cook .

    the fridge is a lost cause unless there is jelly or coconut ice treats

    sometimes I might eat a cookie and it goes straight through me but not before making my lips and tongue hurt

    I have become reaccustomed to fruit as a snack food

          Out of curiosity what do you think the mouth burning culprit of the cookie is?

          Because if it’s just dairy I read you can make cookies with vegan spread/margarine, you just have to chill the dough before baking. And I think there’s some sort of MCAS diet (if any of this helps)
