[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago

Im taking doctor prescribed D2 and B12 along with Folic acid. My blood work always shows those as being low so maybe there is something to this. Ill have to bring it up to my doc next time, thanks!

Im hearing that meds only sorta help quite a bit in this thread. It sucks that they aren't more effective for people, but it does make me feel better about my situation. Thanks for your input!

Thanks for your thoughts on this! Ill be honest, I don't eat the healthiest and that has been something my doctors have brought up. Trying to figure out what is triggering me sounds daunting, but I will most likely have to do this at some point. Why do our bodies have to be so dumb sometimes? lol

I keep holding out hope that there will be some kind of magic bullet cure, but the more I hear from people, the more I'm starting to think Ive just got normal, bad allergies. Thanks for the reply! The (gross) comment you made, is something ive dealt with a few times this year, so that makes me feel better...in a gross kind of way, lol.

I have noticed that the first week or two that im on a new med, It feels like its working better. Maybe there is something going on where your body gets used to the medicine its on, and switching helps? IDK, I'll have to ask my Doctor next time. TY!

That's a great analogy. It really puts things into perspective that its a combo of many things, not just a couple. Ive stopped all meds a few times since this started and i felt like I was gonna die, so they are for sure helping to some degree. Thanks for your insight!

Your story sounds a lot like mine tbh. Thats what prompted me to make this post is wondering if its semi common to find out about allergies later in life. Thanks for your reply!

I actually have 4 air purifiers in my room and keep it surgically clean since this whole thing started. I do shower in the morning though, so thats a hot tip. Ill try at night and see if that helps! Ive pretty much been doing everything but the allergy shots at this point. Committing to 3-6 years of shots kind of sucks, but thats why i was asking here. Thanks for the reply!

I used it all the time to save text temporarily in. Note worked too, but i like the line break that WordPad had. It made reading and formatting easier.

Interesting with the food allergy thing. Ive had that a few times in my life but its not a consistent thing for me. Thanks!

So this might be a weird one because I can just look this up anywhere, but Ive been dealing with some vexing medical problems the past year and I just want to see how allergies affect others. Maybe hearing from regular people instead of doctors will ease my mind a bit. A little back-story on my issue (though I'm not looking for a diagnosis), almost exactly a year ago I developed sever constant chronic rhino-sinusitis. I am constantly having to clear my throat and snort/sniffle. Its non stop every 30 seconds or so and no matter what combo of meds I take for allergies, nothing really helps. I have never had allergies before (that i know of) and all of a sudden, after well over 40 years on this earth, I'm allergic to everything. And I do have allergies. According to the test I took a few months ago, I tested positive for 45 out of 50 allergens they tested for. To make a long story short, every doctor I go to says its allergies. Says to get allergy shots and keep taking sprays and pills everyday etc. Nothing brings me any relief. I'm on the strongest sprays that are killing my sinuses and multiple 24hr allergy pills (Doctor ordered), and its almost like I'm not taking anything. So my questions to you wonderful people:

  • What do allergies feel like for you?
  • Are they constant or do you have flareups?
  • Do meds help you significantly?
  • Am I just being a big baby and how I feel is just what allergies feel like?

I know this is subjective and everyone will have different answers and that's fine. Honestly, I don't really have anyone to bounce ideas off of and talk about this, so this is as much a way for me to scream into the void and vent, as it is to gather info. Again, I'm not looking for a diagnosis, just your personal anecdotes so I can put my own situation into perspective. Love all of you peeps, thanks in advance for any replies!

Edit- Mods, I realize this kinda flirts with rule 3, please feel free to remove it if you so deem.

What do you use AI/LLMs for in your personal life? (sopuli.xyz)
 

I recently set up a LLM to run locally on my desktop. Now that the novelty of setting it up and playing with different settings has worn off, I'm struggling to come up with actual uses for it. What do you use it for when not doing work stuff?

Mod removed my first post because "AI 'art' is for Borgs". So here is a real life version!

Happpy HHalllloween! (files.catbox.moe)
 

Happy Halloween everyone! Had some fun with a random Mad-lib style prompt and inserting "holding a sign saying Happy Halloween". The Text, of course isn't the greatest but, not that bad actually. The AI really likes jackolanterns with the Halloween keyword. Every image had tons of jackolanterns even though I didn't tell it to. The Prompt was "Adj Adj Random-Monster, holding a sign that says happy Halloween. By Random-Artist and Random-Artist." Here are a few more of the better ones:

Fire Starter (i.imgur.com)
 

I really like how this came out, I didn't originally want the fire but the AI kept adding it with the Tanuki keyword so I leaned into it. It took a while to get though, it kept trying to make the Tanuki a horse and getting the fairy to ride it without it turning lewd or just ignoring the prompt was a pain. Anyone have any tips on that? anyways, heres a few more i liked.
