Hello, I got diagnosed with mild sleep apnea this year and been using it since Wednesday 27 and I've been having issues with waking up with dry mouth and lips in the morning. MyAir never shows major leaks or super high events when I wake in the morning and I don't wake up feeling bad, but I notice it because I do drool too. I have an overbite/misaligned teeth that j can't fix due to money issues and the chin strap provided with my CPAP didn't help at all and I actually did better without it. I heard a lot of people saying that tape did or didn't work for them and since I already have teeth/jaw issues I was wondering if tape would even help at this point. My Fitbit tells me my blood oxygen was like 92-96 on average (you can check my profile) and sometimes I wake up with slight moisture in my nasal wear not a lot but there's a bit I use the dream wear and use a resmed and I'm not sure if it's anything I can do about it (I get claustrophobic so j can't really use the tape regardless yes it's medical and the full mask too would probably trigger it + I like the nasal wear)
Why isn't blossomforth on the wiki? Is she actually new? The other two were in the wiki so I was just curious and wanted to know if she was gonna be a helper or not
Growing up as a little girl obsessed with making and owning accessories for my littlest pet shops to play with, my favorite pastime when I was younger was to use the little beds and other materials as tables for my pets and play ambience of restaurants from YouTube over it while I played. I remember watching YouTube videos of people role playing with their LPS and unboxing videos like YouTubers like yum soda and cookie swirl c. My family grew up poor so I often did not get LPS stuff as I probably would have wanted, however that did not discourage me from owning a box full of LPS and playing with them in the sink like a pool almost every day. And as I grew older and eventually gave up my LPS and then eventually eventually became obsessed with them again I learned that even with the new reboot of the old generation something was missing. Where in the world did all the LPS accessories go? LPS is renowned in my opinion for having some of the most unique and simple toys at their disposal for the LPS to have whether it be furniture, clothing, or food, they had it all and they had it all in different types of forms.
Another thing that I've made a post about is the missing art of playsets, Basic Fun is what i've learned being the new people behind this. They own the license to a nostalgic toy that millions of people enjoy and they are missing the point of what people really wanted. While the toys look like the toys from our childhood they're lacking a certain flair that the older ones had and whether that be because the lost art form that is the design of the original toys is just not there or because it's simply just way too saturated. My excitement for the reboot of the old generation LPS was immense when I first saw it, finally after years of begging and the atrocious past gen we finally had what we had all been wanting. But then the glaring flaws and lack of care started to show in every very blind box and every set that was released by the Basic Fun. Color jobs, missing print, neon colors, broken, missing the iconic emotions in their eyes, basic designs, messed up designs that barely were seen in the older LPS.
And then to the biggest flaws and missed opportunities in my opinion, the lack of playsets! The alarming amount of no accessories being included in anything LPS related nowadays. Gone were the days where you could buy a playset with LPS and accessories to play with and now we're stuck with the blind box slop that is today where you're only able to find certain LPS but a few little toys included in their boxes. That also includes the black of authentic unique LPS creations like in the past where we had varieties of different LPS and while that is still the case it seems far lacking in my opinion. Well the market for LPS is not huge enough to really incentivize these companies to try like they would have back in the day it would be nice to see them actually do what they promise to do by bringing back the old LPS.
There is a lost deeply saddening feel when I look at the LPS that I own that are newer while ryemind me of my childhood, there is something that is just missing that I don't know what it is. I stare at the thrift store LPS I found before I bought the new ones and then I look at the ones that are the ones that call themselves the nostalgic LPS and then I realized it was not me. I realized staring at those lifeless neon eyes of my LPS that my childhood had died the moment these corporations decided to be cheaper and not authentic. I will always appreciate the LPS that exist now because I am happy they exist even with their flaws. However that does not take away the pain I feel looking at what once was my childhood and feels like it has been desecrated by greedy corporation who no longer understands what made the original LPs so beloved. I mourn the loss like many others of the vibrant colorful world the toy store used to bring in our youth and perhaps it is just what is meant to be with the toy collecting scene now with no life in a disregard for what made the product *unique*.
Edit: IM NOT ASKING FOR A PROFESSIONAL DIAGNOSIS I JUST NEED TO VENT
Hi im a chronic worrier and have health OCD, I'm currently on 60 mg of propranolol er to control my hr (and I guess it helps my anxiety) however I've been getting a lot of random anxiety flares later in the day like midday to late at night. Sometimes I'll go from resting 80-90 hr and than sit in the 90's-118 when it's the afternoon or later at night for no reason at least from what my Fitbit reads. I never have any symptoms that are worrying but I get bad shakes and watch my Fitbit to monitor my heart rate. It's effected my ability to eat because eating also raises my heart rate from what it was sitting at. I constantly need cold things, minty gum and hours of sitting and breathing to calm down my heart rate or my flare ups. I talk to my doctor and she said it's just my anxiety and my cardiologist said my holter monitor showed nothing alarming and that my lowest was 60 and highest was 140. I constantly feel on edge when I can physically feel my heart racing when I touch my chest or see if go up even in the morning when I just woke up and walk around the house it starts off a little high and than levels back to resting heart rate. I already have Lisinopril to control my BP too but I worry about starting any new anxiety meds because I don't want my BP to go up to high and I don't want to have serotona syndrome but I'm so tired of not knowing what to do, I feel like my anxiety is something I just can't overcome even though I'm in counseling I feel like no one gets just how bad being worried about my health is. But at the same time I'm aware this behavior can only make you worse as well. My ekgs come back normal and I never have blood work come back with anything abnormal, I just feel lost
Does anyone else get major jumps in their heart rate from eating certain foods? Like I ate some Chinese and my hr went from sitting 80-90 to 100-120's after eating and will sit in the lower 100's for awhile? I don't feel bad most of the time I can just feel the spike sometimes or I'll look at my Fitbit and it will say it. I have no diagnosis yet since we're waiting for a tilt table test but I also have issues with my stomach in general which I heard could also be a thing. Does anyone else have this problem? I see minor spikes in my BP too like dia in 80 or 120 in sys during this episodes while my BP normally sits 70's for dia and lower 100's sys
Only thing I saw on Disney Plus like this thought it was interesting
Does anyone know or have the bot of Adam from hazbin hotel where he finds it cute that you are smaller than him and the user is a exorcist? It's a female user but I don't remember who is the creator and need help if anyone knows how to find it or where it is
Has anyone met weird al irl? I'm a super anxious person and I'm aware he's a nice guy but I'm really nervous about how to go about this as someone new to concerts and meetings celebrities I feel like I'd probably get choked up before I can think of anything to say to him
Is anyone aware if we can still get this guy? I tried to get him in the original campaign but I haven't heard anything more about it since than and I still want him
How do I start out with chia seeds? I already drink 64 ounces of water a day but I want to start taking seeds too? I heard you should start out with 1/2 teaspoons but can I drink it just in water? How much ounces do I need? I don't trust what I keep getting from the ai
Why do I low-key feel bad for the monster in the backrooms? I understand he's a manifestation of Clark's inner psyche and his turmoil but why does the monster make me feel sad when I look at him? Maybe it's his face but there's something about the monster that really sticks with me
Has anyone who has played long seen the same type or similar ponies be rotated in the ad watching? Same with the hotel ponies do they share similar ponies that can sometimes show up as these rewards? I dunno if I worded it right but i hope it got it
When I first started CPAP in th last week of May of this year I started off with an issued chin strap because I drool in my sleep/wake up with my mouth dry. I've felt better using the machine by a lot but I hate waking up with the dry mouth and the chin strap didn't work/wasn't comfortable. I use a nasal strap because I get claustrophobic I know that sounds stupid but I do and I wanted to know if there's something I can do? I heard mouth tape can be a waste of money (it's like 9-20 dollars for most in store and online which is ridiculous) anyone who has used it longer know if there's anything all I can do? I'm not sure if it's caused by something in my anatomy or if it's something I can just fix with something I can get but I just wanted some advice about how this works
Does anybody know from experience at least not what the recent Chuck e cheese but with the older one how difficult it was to manage? Watching the employee video about putting on the suit and had me thinking that this must have been a lot of work especially with the way the suit used to be and how bulky it looks it can't be much worse than the Billy Bob but I was wondering if it had a similar effect as people who work at Disney we have to be in the sun all day plus I don't remember the saying stuff about if they had fans in the inside of these costumes or not. I kind of wonder if they even still exist in collections or anywhere I believe it probably not but if they do can anybody let me know so I can look into it because I love these costumes and I don't expect to own one of course but I'm always curious on how people obtain these costumes to where like on tiktok.
I accidentally fell asleep without my CPAP last night for the first time since starting the machine or wearing the mask, I started at May 27 of this year and have been using it every night till now. What do I do, I only got a few minutes of using it until I took it off and forgot to put it back on last night
I have a slightly mild case of low potassium and my readings have consistently been good for the past few months. However comparing my a&e cuff and the omron is almost insane, my numbers have stayed consistently at the lower 80's dia and 120's for my personal cuff. The omron is reading consistently high despite 5 minutes of waiting compared to my own cuff and I've tried to fix the cuff and it doesn't change the numbers all that much, they said the bp cuff is used by other people too I believe for the study in the past but why does it read so much higher on the omron compared to the a&e?? I thought omron was a good brand how is it so much different when I change the cuff from one to the other and get much better readings? Also yes I'm aware this is high I'm taking meds to correct my BP hopefully to get back to the lower 70's like I had before
How hard is it to learn the traditional dancing like I saw Diljit Dosanjh doing? I've seen it on TikTok a lot and I love to dance, also is it appropriate to do if you're not from the culture? Just curious as an American viewing the culture for the first time
When I first came into Warrior Cats in my middle school years I was obsessed with the stories of the cats and the clans, their mythology and their hierarchy. Warriors was my way into loving anthropomorphic fantasy as I do today and growing up in the early 2000's I saw the growth of the fandom through forums and social media alike. However as I grew older I started to recognize the more glaring flaws that plagued most of the books, this still isn't a huge problem for me because at the heart of the books are still part of my and to me this is just a symptom of having too many writers and not enough talk amongst each other on what is canon and how they want to have things done.
Warriors has had many memorable villains from Tigarstar to Sol they all have their quirks and their flaws but no one is more influential than Scourge. Like many things in the early 2000's the Internet and the fandom at large took this character and morphed him in different ways like being a brooding emo cat to a legitimate threat. Scourge was widely treated back in the time as a huge deal and beloved by many of the young democratic. Much like Shadow the Hedgehog, Scourge was turned into brooding no one understands me character that defined early stages Shadow.
However while Shadow has evolved and grown into his own over the years to be more developed and complex, Scourge has kept the general idea of his original self pretty much his entire existence. That's not to say it's not accurate from the way the books portrayed him, though the fandom widely treated him much more like he was a deeply complex character when in reality he boiled down to a few traits and a very dull story at the end of the day.
While Shadow continues to dominate the space and role built by the fandom and games, Scourge has only downgraded as more fans realize that the big game he was built to be was nothing more than a bland villain who had one major accomplishment and a decent amount of material made on him. The problem was he was made much bigger than the books had even made him out to be, he was a major threat and important to the storyline but his involvement and subsequent death left much to be desired.
Scourge has over the years earned the label of overrated and I can't say it isn't warranted especially after years of believing in the story of him and than actually reading into it all and learning he had little substance for such a huge villain like other villains had. And for as big a threat as he was it felt lackluster to see his end and the way he hasn't been treated like an actual character by the fandom and authors at large. I feel like in a lot of ways he was failed and deserved so much better legacy like yes we all remember him but it's only for one thing at most and while it was impressive and scary as fuck, it pales in comparison to the actions and narrative a lot of other villains have on the story compared to him.
And I wonder if that is to blame largely on the fandom for hyping him up to much or the authors failing to capitalize on a popular character who deserved more than what he ended up getting in the end.
P.s I'm not as familiar with the books as I used to be so feel free to tell me off for being wrong but this is just the mindset I've had for awhile and still feel this way. I might or am probably wrong, I love talking about Warriors so please tell me more or argue!
Mapleshade is forever one of the more complex characters in wc and she deserves more peace imo. She did evil and continues to do so and we can't always blame her grief for her actions because she met it become who she is. But a part of me will always feel sad because so much of her story could've been avoided if the clans didn't have stupid rules about dating (especially now I'm older thinking about what that means) the You Will Be Okay animatic really highlights it for me because most of all I grieve the mother in her. She deserved so much and her anger is justified in a lot of aspects however it's sad just how much of her story is upsetting. She's still evil but I feel like it things really were slightly different we could've gotten a different story for her.
