So, what exactly is this HLA testing all about? My immunologist/rheumatologist ordered it, but honestly, everyone I’ve asked seems just as clueless as I am. I don't even have an appointment at the lab until March. Could someone please break this down for me? Based on everything else I've been through so far with my recent tests, it's looking more and more like I might have Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Hi everyone,

I have a question for the group. My mom is battling esophageal cancer; it’s been about three months since her diagnosis. She’s already spent two weeks in the hospital twice, and during one of those stays, she developed a blood clot in her right leg... She's home now, and we’re getting everything ready to send her to the Dr. Breuss retreat, but we've hit a major roadblock: she can't keep anything down. She’s struggling to eat and even harder to drink. Every time she tries to swallow something, she starts coughing so hard it feels like she’s almost "coughing up" whatever she just tried to eat. She also complains about this constant feeling of mucus stuck in her esophagus that she just can't clear. If anyone has any insight or personal experience with this, what can we do?

Dreaming of being in NYC right now. Honestly, who knows who’ll start—it all depends on how the guys perform on the court.

I’ve read the book multiple times, but honestly, the movie was a massive letdown. They even messed up the timeline, and they changed the ending just to force some kind of cheesy happy ending instead of sticking to how the story actually concludes. 🙄 I also think Craig was a terrible choice to play Lord Asriel—he didn't even look the part visually. The only thing they actually got right was casting Nicole Kidman as Mrs. Coulter. The book is incredible, but the film is just plain bad.

connector..

The building and the official seal 😕 🤷

The legend Vjence is going to pull it off again this year, carrying both Šola and Jerković on his back while juggling a third goalie just to clinch first place in 15 games. Absolute legend.

Angela Wright said:Amy Hayes28 mentioned that they offered those injections to her dad. I’m guessing it’s that immunotherapy I was talking about earlier. Her dad ended up turning it down, though—mostly because of the cost and because he just wasn't sold on whether it actually worked. I tried asking her for the specific name of the treatment, but she couldn't quite catch it since her doctor is one of those types who isn't really big on chatting.
So, there's definitely a new step in the process, we just haven't pinned down the exact medical name yet.

Hey, that's awesome news! I'm seriously so happy to hear things are moving forward like this. It really gives you some hope... if you happen to find out any more details about this immunotherapy (like if it can be used regardless of what other treatments were done before) or where I can read up on it, please let me know! Sending you so much love, thank you!!

We’ve got Vjence in goal, and honestly, he’s looking stronger than both Alilović and Jerković. Forget about Šola, the guy is practically ancient at this point. If Balić doesn't make the cut, I'm pulling for Vuković—he's a total powerhouse. I'm telling you, Horvat has been solid for the last two games; he just needs to find his rhythm... I'm also keeping an eye on Ćupić, though I haven't really seen him in action yet.

Angela Wright any updates on when that new GBM drug might be available here in the States? I thought it was supposed to roll out at the start of this year, right?

here’s your lifesaver 👋

they’re gonna kill 😂 Loll: :lol.

Anthony Wilson4 said:Can you tell me which forum you're talking about? Seriously, man, I'm over here in Canada and I don't even have NBC, but you guys in the States probably have way more info than we do. I honestly don't get how info about who's making the roster for the EP could be so scarce... just drop a link to the forum...

Horvat needs to get moving... and honestly, so do I... there’s no "needs to get moving," he’s either in or he’s out. If not him, then go with Zrnic... he feels like the safest bet right now... damn, Dzomba will absolutely wreck his career if he doesn't step up...

But look, I'm pretty confident that if Cervar plays it smart this time—and I'm sure he will—he'll rotate the squad enough so that none of the players feel any fatigue at all... lackovic - valcic; metlicic - kopljar...

These guys actually have potential... I did a deep dive on google.com looking for forums about the US national handball team and this is what popped up...

hehe... hopefully they'll go for the gold

I don't know, I just stumbled upon that forum by accident.

It just doesn't hit the spot for me—simple as that.
I make sure to have at least one cup of green tea every single day.
The only awkward part is when I head out for "coffee" with my girls during those brutal summer heatwaves, and the server comes by—they all order coffee, but in 90-degree weather, I'm just like, "I'll take a tea," 😬 and the guy looks at me like I'm totally messing with him. 🙄
..but seriously, I can't imagine catching up with my friends without having some tea in hand...
It's just a habit, I guess.. 😉

That's my kind of person—someone who actually looks out for their health...👍

Kimberly Ross9 said:So, five days ago I decided to kick my coffee habit. Usually, I’m slamming at least two cups a day—sometimes way more than that. Now, I’m curious if anyone else here has gone cold turkey on caffeine... did you deal with any weird side effects?
Honestly, over the last few days, I feel like I’ve been stuck in this total funk (not even sure how else to put it😁). Just this constant lack of motivation. Getting out of bed in the morning and forcing myself to head out to work feels like a massive chore🙄.

I was expecting some kind of reaction after quitting, but I can't tell if this is just part of the process or if something else is actually going wrong with me (which would be pretty bad 🙄))

I gave it a shot recently. I managed to hold out for two weeks before realizing it wasn't for me... I felt completely drained, my focus at the office was non-existent, and I was crashing hard every single afternoon. I was just a total mess...

Once I started drinking coffee again, everything went back to being fine... honestly, it's better to just be my normal self with a cup of coffee than to feel like a zombie...☕

I remember seeing him in theaters back in the day and being totally starstruck 😬 even though I was only about 12 😁 I actually burst into tears on screen when Bruce saves the world, especially with Liv reaching toward the camera while Aerosmith played 🙂 that moment was burned into my brain forever 😢

Fast forward to his recent appearance on The Tonight Show, and honestly, I could barely watch—he just seemed so underwhelming 🤷
I guess I’m finally growing up 🙂

goldentrucker11 pretty much summed it all up.

Hey,
Does anyone know where I can pick up some Noni juice here in Chicago (besides the Bio-Bio over on Ilica)?
The thing is, I used to drink Noni all the time a few years back, but I just grabbed a bottle from the shop on Ilica... and honestly, it tastes pretty watered down.
Thanks in advance!

Yeah, Sprem is totally out of the picture. As for Caleb, there's no way he's getting back in shape anytime soon. Things are a complete disaster over in Washington, D.C. And Horvat... man, he really needs to step it up. Like I said last season, the situation in Washington, D.C. is just a mess.

edit: wait, I just saw some rumor on a forum saying Kopljar is being cut and Sprem is coming in instead?? Probably just fake news.
