Her content is real but this ad just threw me off?
The face looks edited and the hair looks too HD. Mb if it’s just a filter LOL. The shininess just doesn’t match her actual posts (even tho her work is great dont get me wrong)

Just scared and confused

(24F)

My doctors believe 8~ years of estrogen birth control gave me a benign liver tumor and, thus, elevated liver labs. We stopped the pill back in March and wanted to see where I was at in a few months.

My AST (54) and ALT (98) are getting worse. (Thsi may sound low to some but i dont drink, smoke, eat fatty or unhealthy foods, I’m not fat, and it is STILL increasing in the abnormal range for a female of my age.

My alk phos is now high, my anion and bun are high, and my co2 is low. I have never had any lab issues other than low ferritin.

I dont get it. I stopped the estrogen and they said “maybe” it would help. They said i should be fine. y My tumor was close to 5cm and was diagnosed just this past year. Im scared and confused and my hepatologist was very dismissive so i hope she has answers. I think its starting to throb and hurt now. (My estrogen also likely caused gallstone issues so dk if that affects these results too)

Sorry this is mainly a panicked rant I guess. I just dont see anyone anywhere with this issue. Even my doctors are kinda stumped but at least tumor removal would be possible I think….

Riverside municipal auditorium?

I have Jpegmafia tickets for the pit. His crowd is majority men so im lwk scared as a small female but ik I will get FOMO!! I survived my last hot ass pit experience in LA so Im just curious how this may be.

Is it too hot or stuffy? Any AC? I overheat easily. Do they let u bring a handheld fan?

I have fast pass. Doors open at 7. Does it get me in 30 mins prior or just once it hits 7 b4 everyone else?

How is the pit? Staff? Is water accessible and bathrooms decent? Anything I should know?

Fox theater? (AC, quick pass, etc?)

Hi I have barely ever been to Pomona but I am going for The Living Tombstone.

I got GA floor AND quick pass. Pit was sold out.

How is quick pass? Doors open at 7. Do they let in quick pass 30 mins prior? Are the quick pass lines usually still long/packed? i want to get the best view I can lol.

Is it hot? Is there any AC at all? I have handheld fans I will likely bring. I am concerned about water is all. Last concert at Fonda I was at had people passing out from heat (I almost did too) but they at least handed out water during the show. I overheat easily haha. I may be going solo too so just concerned ab that.

Nice place? Chill staff? Street parking? Idk. Any tips or replies appreciated :)

My cat’s eye hit his wand

Update: he has calmed down after a few mins and is just wagging his tail irritated and not opening eye still

2nd update ab an hour later**: HIS EYE IS OPEN!!!** he is playing and sleeping now (belly up like usual). He is curious again and giving me lots of his usual kisses. I feel much better but am still seeing the vet.

3rd update: parents said the vet said everything is likely fine but we will recap once I make it home!!!!

Context: his face is not swollen!! I was petting his right cheek so the hair went down. Wand= cat toy with big ribbon attached

(Just happened so I’m panicking and will see vet tomorrow)
I’m so scared!! He was zooming and i held the plastic wand out right when he jumped up.

He will barely open it and now he occasionally cries and paws at it. He is behaving weirdly by just chilling in diff parts of the house quickly and his working eye will sometimes be rolled back when he opens it.
I lifted the hurt eye and dont see immediately or obvious harm but his behavior is just whats freaking me out.

My dad put an eye ointment into his eye that I used once when I scratched my eye. Im also freaking out over that but he assured me its fine and explained bc he has a biology degree. Im very naïve and was panicking but omg im sorry reddit pls help i regret just believing him

Seeing a nail artist

preface: im autistic and have almost self soothed w my nails

Issues: picking behavior. I also bite my cuticles

Mom wanted me to try builder gel. Said it would help ……but I genuinely have had only about a decent 2-3 weeks of “perfect nails” after about 3-4 years now of 3 different artists. I dont even use my hands much.

  1. my nails still get cuts down the sides randomly and
  2. The product loves to lift and it happened again….and of course I peeled the product off a week before my appointment:/

(((Well now its so mych worse and all my nails are peeling so I had to file them down to nubs basically.)))

I just dont get the point of this if theres rarely benefit? Should I just request a removal if it doesnt work out ? And go bare? Ugh im so insecure and feel like no artists understand or try to help me prevent this lifting and breakage problem. My mom is adamant I need to keep going and she covers it…

Edit: builder gel is for nail biters/pickers, fragile nails etc…its advertised by these artists to help “grow, protect, make nat nails get stronger”. But i dont understand why its not workijg for me since i dont pick at them until they start breaking (and they arent supposed to be breaking according to my artists)

Sleep study results (so far)

At home sleep study- borderline mild/no OSA

In house sleep study 3 months later- NO OSA
But: Periodic limb movements??

So I was hoping for a bruxism mention? I am following up with my doctor to talk about this.

I have been a kicker/tosser/turner since I was a child but only started bruxing around 18/post-braces. I hope there is some connection for my damn peace of mind already.

Anyone have similar issues/diagnoses??

Almost 1 yr post op - toupet

CW: emetophobia

Everything has been swell. Symptoms all gone minus occasional gastritis pain bc i refuse to do a bland healing journey. (And new gallstones whcih is a sep issue)

Buttttt I just got food poisoning. Let me tell you……the amount of gagging I did with zero results…..my tongue is aching. My stomach is burning.

When can I throw up again?? Would it just immediately unwrap my surgery?? Lmfao. God help me. I just took a zofran🤞 this is fucking awful. Feels worse than the healing process

Concert: worth it?

New to this sub & interacting w peggy fans. Been listening since 2020. Is his concert worth? I may go alone if I end up saying yes. Im just nervous & ig I’m just testing the waters? I love his music but wanna be safe as a small ass woman lol

TL;DR - Is there PLUR or lack of etiquette with his shows/ in his pit? Thanks

Stinky during finals

Why do y’all gotta smell the absolute worst during finals? And why is it so COMMON?

If you forget what a shower is after looking at ONE Civ Pro outline then you need to get a separate room or ask mommy to give you a bath. I seriously pray for your future coworkers and clients.

So I am having occasional/evening pain AND am in between gastritis or gallstone pain. I have both (gastritis can go away unlike gallstones so I’m unsure)….and am waiting on a dr appt in about a week.

I have found benefit with aloe vera juice for gastritis but now I’m not sure if it’s helping anymore, my gastritis is worse, or it’s actually just the gallbladder.

Anyway for process of elimination I was hoping anyone had anything like that that can help ease the chest pain if it is this? 🥲 It took me loads of research for gastritis help & I’m super new to gallbladder so sorry if it’s obvious or there are none that work for anyone.

So this is a REACH but I’m looking for if anyone has experienced anything similar. I just got my results!

My labs showed elevated liver. We did testing.

I have a 4.4cm benign mass on my liver caused by birth control. I have stopped the birth control but MRI showed I also have a lot of gallstones. I have a hepatology appointment soon.
But I am just SO WORRIED they will want to just remove my gallbladder.
I am 24 and only have symptoms if I eat peanut butter or yogurt. I just had surgery for GERD last year and that process was so hard. I found it necessary but it seems like gallbladder removal is only necessary when severe attacks and it can cause bad life changing effects if unlucky.

Based on the amu of research I could find, its not unreasonable for my liver lesion to be affecting the passage of bile/gallstones. I will wait to hear what dr thinks but I have a lot of fears ab if they will wanna jump straight to the most extreme/ gallbladder and not even look at my liver to see if its causing all this blockage.

Polysomn sleep test?

Has anyone w/ a mouthguard for night bruxing & sleep apnea (with no obvious causes like obesity etc) had this test done?

If so, did it really analyze why your airway was even having breathing disruptions (ie. Big tongue, small palate, etc)? Or did it just confirm sleep apnea with no help.

Thank you! (My jaw pain is bad even w a cpap and guard ugh)

I know it’s a few bad apples but I want to speak about it.

I’m really ashamed to see people putting their hearts into their posts in this sub, only to be shit on. How dare they vent about a traumatic moment they experienced, while not ONCE blaming Joost. While ONLY acknowledging possible dangers of a bad crowd or bad venue! Is this not important for others to know if they are in the same situation so they get the most enjoyment out of a JOOST concert?

No, some people in this sub take it as a personal attack, so much to the point where they call them stupid for not “avoiding” crowd crush and victim blaming them. Like are we serious??? Are they just rage baiting different subs or are they genuine fans? I see them getting multiple upvotes so it just worries me if the community is just gaining more and more bad apples.

The message we need to be spreading is unity :( you can correct someone and respectfully educate them on how to approach their next concert without calling them a baby and being a bitch. Especially sad when you consider lots of the victims are small individuals or KIDS.

We cant spread this to anymore concerts. Please look after each other and stop moshing (IF YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO MOSH). It sounds like America does have a problem with correctly moshing, so I am not sure where to go from there but it’s kinda embarrassing to see.

Stay safe guys and don’t give into these trolls (or just msg me so I can jump them 💙)

Edit: i am also seeing this on tiktok, too so its not just a reddit thing (lol)

I’ve noticed a lot of talk of ppl waiting outside after his shows for ~1hr or so & hoping to meet him? Sometimes it works obv but I’m curious if this is usually OK or typical behavior? I would obv love to meet him one day but couldn’t help feeling I would feel horrible and like a stalker…lol.

So ig I’m just asking for the general consensus on this? OK or no.

If you have done it before, does it feel awkward or wrong? Idk…

(This is probably nuanced but I genuinely have never seen this before & I’m ND so my thinking is black & white on most things💔 sry) just curious what the community thinks/knows.

Edit: also I went to his LA show and hadnt heard of this being a thing until now.
