Let me be clear. I’m talking about you as a person.
Two of those have been remade, are we talking only the originals?
Take solace in the fact that it’s unlikely the idea of you taking a shit could make you less attractive to them.
I actually found out she had it by watching that show. I was looking at her thinking, “she’s got the moon face.” Something that happens to us especially when we’re forced to take corticosteroids during a bad flair. And then I looked it up and was right. Lady Gaga also has lupus and is obviously still an international superstar. So I think OP will be fine as long as they don’t do an extremely rough physical job or work outside.
In my head this movie was made entirely because someone noticed the vague resemblance between Peter Dinklage and Josh Brolin.
The only side I’m going to come down on is that a lot of the home assistant maintainer community have a serious attitude problem.
They want to outwardly act as if they want to build a user friendly home automation system for all. But there’s a lot of self important snark in the forums when devs cause problems and users complain. They still act as if they are building this software for free and if anyone doesn’t like how they are doing things they can sod off. But now they have a decent sized paid staff and a mission statement to make the software for every day users.
Their documentation also leaves a lot to be desired and they don’t seem to have any procedures in place for getting it updated before breaking changes.
Only effective if this doesn’t placate the regulators and Congress and something is actually done.
This has all happened before and it will all happen again. This is what it looks like when a social media company tries to head off an incoming regulatory push.
Trying to avoid regulations of course.
Just don’t. Use the time to catch up on your book reading.
Lupus Nephritis is not as common. Thankfully we don’t all have to worry about our kidneys. Glad your friend is doing well now.
I’ve been on hydroxochloroquine for over a decade. Other than having to increase the frequency of opthalmologist appointments the longer I’m on it, it’s done nothing but improve my life.
As someone with Lupus I can echo this. Now that you know and can get tailored treatment it’s the start of getting better not worse.
First things first, treatment is way way better than when your grandmother was diagnosed. We have lots of off label meds and even now have an on label lupus medication. I was diagnosed at just before my 22nd birthday, I’m 38 now and I’m doing great. You can get through this. It gets better.
One thing you are going to have to learn is your new limits. Chances are you’ve already experienced what it’s like to exceed them, but now you know why. Stay out of the sun, take vitamin D, when your body demands rest, listen. Get a consistent sleep schedule and stick to it. If you are not already off alcohol it’s worth considering but not necessary (depending on your meds.) Cannabis is also worth considering, but again between you and your doctor(s).
Listen to your doctor(s). Make sure you keep up with your Rheumatologist and your GP. You may have to add in an opthalmologist depending on your meds as well (don’t worry about that, eye complications are rare). It may take time to find the medications that work for you, be patient. It’s probably not going to be just one medication, most people do best on combinations. Be sure to get off Prednisone as soon as you can tolerate, it’s only meant to be temporary and it can have long lasting effects. Find a local support group, the lupus society has them all over. https://www.lupus.org/
Feel free to DM me or add me as a friend. This isn’t the end of your life, but it is the start of a big change.
This is all less medical advice than it is lessons I learned the hard way.
Yes, there is. Even Xitter quickly changed their LLM to point to a government website whenever voting questions were asked so they have no liability.
No, but it takes a child to feel morally superior when they enabled people to hurt others because the other option was imperfect.
I see gizmodo I downvote. It’s a simple life.
