Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Seriously, Epic. If you don't want to do it for yourself, do it for us!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Sorry guys. I actually did almost run into him in the corridor, but didn't see his face. If it makes you feel any better, from behind, there was some very nice potential. Now they've all gone off for dinner with the PTB (and I don't Be a Power, sorry).

Well, it's nice to know his rear-view had potential, I guess.

Good morning! I had a visit with my rheumatologist yesterday. So much fun. I'm on methotrexate now, and it's working, though I'm a wee bit hesitant about it.

She told me to lose weight. Recalling the conversation in here, I asked her about the keto diet, she said "Do anything. If it has diet in the name, try it." So I'm thinking that wasn't a very reasoned, medically sound response. I should maybe try the cabbage soup diet? Or the grapefruit diet?

I think I'm going to start by just cutting carbs, since that seems to be the problem food, and go from there. I know my PCP approves of that plan, anyway.

I sure like seeing you guys pixels.

Edited to improve my punctuation.

Deena, Tim takes methotrexate for his RA. If I can answer any questions for you (or pass them on to him), I'm happy to do it.

Thanks so much, Tep! I don't really know what questions to ask. I kind of stopped listening when they mentioned hair loss. How much does he take a week?

That hasn't been a huge problem for him -- one of the things his rheumatologist recommended was to take biotin every day, and that's really helped.

How much does he take a week?

He takes 20 mg (in 8 pills) once a week. The biggest side effects he has are fatigue and nausea for about 2 days, so he takes his methotrexate on the weekend.

Our wings are not tired.

I hope the new meds continue to help without issues.

"Do anything. If it has diet in the name, try it."

This is fairly close to my philosophy, but my take on it is, if what I am doing isn't working try something else.

Thrive to spite them

Deena I havent had much luck with FB groups for autistic people who are trans/non binary. I found 2 closed groups that look in active and I think the others are secret groups. Only 2 people responded to my requests in various groups it they didn't have anything concrete.

One person suggested the Autistico Fb group, it's a general group but there may be someone there who could help.

Oh, jesus fucking christ. That is enraging. And super medically unsound.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
