Look, as long as we're all gonna talk about self-injecting ...
I may or may not have mentioned before that I have severe psoriasis. Or, rather, *had*.
I went for years and years using topicals like betamethasone. For a bit they worked, but they're greasy as fuck and really do a number on your quality of life.
But eventually, the condition just got so out of control that I couldn't keep up anymore. The other issue I had was that my previous dermatologist — some cantankerous 957-year-old cunt of a witch doctor — didn't believe in prescribing anything other than creams and ointments.
Probably to no-one's surprise, he also had a great, big, giant wooden cross hanging in his office. So I guess science was off the menu, there.
Finally, I got sick to the tits of this guy, and found myself a new dermatologist. Younger, in her 30s, not long out from her doctoral studies, and very much believes in stuff other than creams and ointments.
So, she prescribed me risankizumab earlier this year. One epi-pen every three months. Stab myself in the leg with it, and I'm good to go.
And I can't even believe what a difference it made. Before that prescription, there wasn't a single part of my body not affected by psoriasis. Ugly, painful, raw, horrific, and completely uncontrollable.
Now, I'm completely clear, and it took maybe two or three months to get to this point. But I started seeing results maybe ten days after the first injection. After that, it's just maintenance doses every three months.
Fucking miraculous.

Talking about self injecting... My partner had our first child the other day. We'd spent 9 months planning a home birth but the baby refused to come out so at 18 days over the due date we made the shitty decision to have a c-section and instead of a home birth we had to have her cut open and spend 3 days in hospital. I was sat in the operating room with her - it was one of the most intense things I've ever been through - I had to use all of my strength not to burst into tears the whole time we were in there. I managed to keep it together, just about, but fuck me it was intense.
Anyway, after going through all of that, feeling like she's been cut in half, having the baby kicking her wound, going through excruciating pain breast feeding, andnot sleeping, she also has to inject herself in the leg once a day. It's grim. And most of the time I'm just sat there next to her, in perfect comfort, pain free, feeling guilty and wondering what small, meaningless task I can do next to try and make myself useful.
The baby is adorable though. She cries way less and sleeps way more than I thought she would, and her poo smells like double cream.
- Oh ho! As harrowing as all that sounds, congrats, papa!Continuity
- Thanks! To be fair to my misses though she's a trooper, she's in high spirits and is enjoying the new experience, despite all of the fuckery she has to endureset
- Congrats!
Now the fun begins.palimpsest - Your woman’s a gladiator, brother.
Congrats on the little one!! ...also—what the hell is double cream and where can I get some?PonyBoy - Oh man yeah that’s rough but congrats on the baby!!! We went through 2 c-sections with my kids, my wife doesn’t love the scar but she loves how everything_niko
- ...”else” stayed intact lol_niko
- lol what a fucking ride, and then to end with "poo smells like double cream". Madman, congrats.garbage

Continuing with the self-injecting trend. My wife is a Type 1 diabetic, so she’s pretty much an expert at it. It’s been years since she’s had to use needles regularly, thanks to all the new technology with sensors and pumps, but she still keeps them in her purse and car for emergencies. I’ve always thought it would be hilarious if she got pulled over and a cop searched her messy ass SUV and found needles everywhere lol.
She’s also been microdosing a GLP-1 for a few months now, and it’s been really good for her. So that’s one shot in the gut every week. She gave me a couple of shots, but they didn’t do shit for me. I couldn’t bear the thought of injecting myself, so of course, she had to do it for me.
- Get out there and ride your bike more, mate—and forget about the insulin. My dad’s blood sugar is through the roof, and he doesn’t take anything for it.OBBTKN
- ^ that is the worst possible advice you could offer to a Type 1 diabetic. I'm one, so qualified to know that much.mort_

- OBB I don’t think you read the post bro. My wife has it not me. And it’s Type 1 not Type 2 I’m not trying to have her croak yet lolHijoDMaite

I have to self-inject a medication into my belly twice a day now through Sunday. I'm used to a spring-loaded needle lancet to draw a quick tap of blood for testing (I do this weekly)... but I've been given actual syringes that I have stick in my belly and inject myself twice a day for the next 3 days.
Holy shit I was a ridiculous pussy doing this on my own in front of my wife and nurse this morning for this first time ever... but I did it... where's my fucking popsicle???!!!
- Whoa shit, what happened?garbage
- You've just gotta commit.
Needling yourself is way less traumatic than needling someone else - a loved one.

RIP of the day
Old-school member here. I can’t remember his username, but I still had him on Facebook.
A message from the Higgs family.
Alan Higgs ❤️ 13/01/1935 – 24/10/2026
We are very sorry to share the sad news that the wonderful Alan Higgs passed away this weekend.Many of you will know him from this page, of course, but also locally, as he was often out and about, getting involved in just about anything he could!
His zest for life knew no bounds. He had slowed down a little in recent years, but at his peak, he could be seen not just roller skating down Toddington High Street, but hula hooping at the same time!
We've already received so many lovely messages, with words such as "legend", "inspiration" and "unique" being used to describe him. And he really was all of those things.
He didn't like a fuss, really. He just had a wonderful, go-getting attitude to life and was always up for giving something a go! He loved his walking group and playing pool. In fact, at the age of 90, he even became a TikTok star, with a video of him playing pool in the club reaching over 8 million views!
He played the drums and harmonica and loved jazz music.- https://www.qbn.com/…tank02
- toulouz. I remember seeing him around here. RIP :(OBBTKN

FUCK ADOBE!
Did the Adobe dance again for another 12 months. They wanted to bill me A$113.49 a month! Fuggers! Did the dance and got offered $47.99/mo for 12 months. FFS, just offer it at that price to start with!
- thanks for the reminder, had to do the same_niko
- No wuzzas! Cash better in our pockets than theirs!sab
- im about to do that shit rig[ht nowAQUTE
- It has become a strange habit—the same thing every year... ridiculous!OBBTKN
- they have you over a barrel, fucking cartel. 48 / month is a disgrace as well.hans_glib
- At least you don't have to go through a chat with an "agent" to do it these days. Just cancel the day before renewal, and then pick the reduced plan offering.evilpeacock
- *sets reminder for day before renewalNairn
- Hans: $48 is in Aussie dollars but still more than the USD equivalent. Yep I just used the cancel method for discount.sab
- In the US it's around $33.15/mo with the best discount. Without that it's $69.99 + tax!evilpeacock

quote of the day
"Tell me, gentle flowers, teardrops of the stars, standing in the garden, nodding your heads to the bees as they sing of the dews and the sunbeams, are you aware of the fearful doom that awaits you? Dream on, sway and frolic while you may in the gentle breezes of summer. To-morrow a ruthless hand will close around your throats. You will be wrenched, torn asunder limb by limb, and borne away from your quiet homes. The wretch, she may be passing fair. She may say how lovely you are while her fingers are still moist with your blood. Tell me, will this be kindness? It may be your fate to be imprisoned in the hair of one whom you know to be heartless or to be thrust into the buttonhole of one who would not dare to look you in the face were you a man. It may even be your lot to be confined in some narrow vessel with only stagnant water to quench the maddening thirst that warns of ebbing life."
