i need a new psychological thriller series to watch. all the series that ive seen being recommended in other subs ive already watched 🫠

i’m prescribed 30mg codeine phosphate 1-3 times per day. i used to be prescribed a ibuprofen codeine mix, which i was taking most days for nearly 2 years. i learnt that ibuprofen is extremely bad for your liver, so i spoke to my doctor and got changed to straight codeine.

my question is, is codeine also bad for your liver? i can’t seem to find any straight answers online. i know codeine is digested through the liver so i’m assuming it would cause some level of liver damage?

i’m looking to buy a “luxury” budget tv.

i’m thinking about buying the** **Kogan 55" Mini-LED QLED 4K 144Hz Smart AI Google TV - MQ9Z to have in the bedroom for streaming services and the occasional switch gaming session.

obviously this tv wouldn’t be as good as a samsung or LG, but samsung and LG are out of my budget atm. i have tried some other budget tvs before like hisense, ffalcon, JVC and aiwa. the hisense started freezing and closing apps only a few days after purchase, the JVC and aiwa were horrible (to be expected considering their price), the ffalcon actually lasted 5 years before any issues however there were a lot of things i did not like about it.

has anyone bought this specific tv from kogan or any kogan tv released within the last 1-2 years?

are there any other budget friendly tvs you would recommend?
budget is currently max $800

what happened to tukoi the tattoo artist who was at the loveless club of gore?

she tattooed me a few years ago and i went to look at her instagram page to see if her bookings are open and her ig is gone as well as the rest of her social media accounts?

i also thought she owned the loveless club of gore tattoo parlour but now it’s owned by someone else?

does anyone knows what her new ig account is or where she’s currently working?

in october 2023 my dog was diagnosed with cancer. he went through chemo and at the end of his treatment (december) we were told that he would have at least 2 more years left.

Feb 2024 we were told his cancer was back and had spread. mid march we had to have a vet come to our home and put him to sleep.

i still cry all the time and i miss him so deeply that it physically hurts. whenever something happens that upsets me, i end up crying about him, even when the thing that upset me is completely unrelated to his death.

sometimes i’ll go an entire week without thinking about him too much but then i will be brought to tears with guilt. i also feel guilt as i still have my other dog and my cat but my dog that i lost i felt like was my soul mate.

i want to be able to move on from grieving but i think a part of me also can’t stand the idea? he was such a good dog and i loved him so much that i think maybe i feel like it wouldn’t be fair if i moved on? is this normal? typing this out it sounds almost like im grieving my grief?

any tips/advice/shared experiences please

i had an episode of vertigo back in 2022 when i got hit with a pretty severe flu, the vertigo lasted 2 days and that was it and i didn’t experience vertigo again until this year.

end of january while at work, i started experiencing vertigo which i believe this day was related to anxiety, too much caffeine and not enough food and sleep. it lasted a few hours then went away.

start of feb i was at the shops, felt completely fine and all of a sudden i got hit with intense vertigo, a sensation that my head was falling backwards, a heaviness/numbness that started on the left side of my body and very quickly spread to my entire body but mostly effecting my calves and arms, nausea, rapid heartbeat, and stinging/shooting pain through my chest and armpit, blurred vision and a weird sensation in my brain that i can’t describe. i went to the ER as i was sure i was having a heart attack or stroke. they listened to my heart, checked my blood pressure and oxygen levels in the waiting room and i saw in the monitor that it was all fine and immediately most of my symptoms went away (besides the vertigo). i stayed in the waiting room for 8 hours before deciding to leave. when i got home i started to feel like i was coming down with a bad cold. the next 2 days i had very mild dizziness/vertigo but was fine besides that.

end of feb i came down with the flu, 2 days into the flu i started experiencing horrible vertigo that had me bed bound. the second day of vertigo i was sitting up and my left foot went numb and tingly, while moving it to get feeling back the tingling suddenly shot up from my foot to just below my knee, i suddenly got extremely light headed and sweaty, my heart started racing (140bpm sitting down) and i thought i was going to pass out. i spent the rest of that day with vertigo so bad that i couldn’t even roll over in bed. i spent the next 2 weeks in bed with horrible vertigo, only able to get out of bed to have a quick shower once per day.

basically since then, ive had vertigo/dizziness every single day to varying degrees. ive noticed my vertigo is worse when i sleep on my right side, which is annoying because i can only fall asleep if im on my right side. sickness, sleep deprivation, hunger, dehydration and caffeine all trigger my vertigo and i also notice that when i move my head to my left i feel vertigo more intensely.

on days my vertigo is really bad ill experience really intense weakness in my legs, specifically in my calf muscles, weakness in my forearms/shoulders, my head feels unstable, my entire body just overall feels weak, sore and very sensitive, i feel weird nerve like pain in random parts of my body, my ears sometimes feel blocked, ring, or crackle when i swallow, i get very mild pressure in my right temple, the left side of my jaw aches sometimes, my eyes won’t focus properly and i get a weird spinning sensation in my eyes, sometimes i get a weird internal vibrating feeling through my back, chest, stomach and ankles.

on days my vertigo isn’t as bad, i still experience mild weakness in my left arm which i think might be due to the fact im spending most days in bed lying on my left side with my left arm up under my head, and horrible fatigue which feels mental? im diagnosed with adhd and to begin with my adhd medication actually helped my vertigo but after 3 days of it suddenly making my vertigo worse i have become afraid to take my medication, so im unsure if my fatigue could be due to this.

i keep booking doctors appointments when my vertigo isn’t as extreme for a few days but then by the time it comes to the day of my doctors appointments my vertigo is so bad that i can’t go so i’m looking into booking an appointment with a gp who does home visits, however they’re quite expensive so i currently don’t have any answers for my vertigo.

does anyone have any shared symptoms/ similar experiences? or any idea what type of vertigo i could be experiencing? when i research vertigo conditions i feel like i fit almost all of them. i’m not looking to self diagnose or seek an internet diagnosis, i would just like some peace of mind until i can be checked out by a doctor as all this has caused me to develop horrible health anxiety and i completely spiral on days my vertigo is bad.
