Experiences with Inositol? (feddit.uk)

I thought I would post here to ask if anyone has tried inositol powder or tablets to help with PCOS related symptoms?

1 teaspoon of myo-inositol powder - dissolved in water - taken each morning seems to have completely obliterated my intense cravings / constant want to eat. It appeared to take effect the very same day that I started it. Initially I had some stomach upset, usually within 15 minutes of drinking it on an empty stomach. A week later this has settled down. I drink it slowly and have a breakfast such as porridge soon after. The real test will come after I next ovulate - whenever that is. If I still don’t experience any cravings then, I will be truly amazed.

I have also experienced a slight increase in headaches but this could also be due to dehydration. My biggest concern at the moment is hair shedding. I do lose a fair amount of hair but I feel like it may have increased. I can’t be sure if this is linked to the inositol or not but for now I will continue with 1 teaspoon daily and see how it goes.

I went for a little walk on a stretch of the Oxford Canal in the Cherwell District area today, so I thought I would share a few pictures that I took. It was very peaceful. It makes my day when friendly boaters say hello when passing by.

I don't have a fancy camera or anything but I still like taking some pictures while I'm out. :)

This is the kind of news I like to read. Cows are so lovely.

Best crumpet toppings. by juniper in c/ukcasual@lemmy.world

Butter and a nice strawberry jam is usually my go-to. Melted cheese under the grill if I want something savoury. Peanut butter is also nice.

[IMPORTANT] We need to apply the 'Undetermined' language option (feddit.uk)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by juniper@feddit.uk to c/feddituk@feddit.uk

UPDATE: Tom has now added the Undetermined language option to our instance. To make sure you can see the majority of Lemmy content from within your feddit.uk account, do the following:

Click your profile name - click settings - scroll down to the Languages box (not interface language) - hold down Ctrl (cmd on Mac) and select both English and Undetermined. On mobile browser: Tap the Languages box and make sure both are selected - scroll down and click save

You can also select any other languages which are beneficial to you.

If you don't see everything listed in the box, try refreshing the page.

Original Post

When viewing profile settings, you will see a box which says:

Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.

On feddit.uk we currently have no selectable language option other than English. This means that (sometimes?) we will not see a lot of posts / comments on other instances / communities where the OP did not specifically select English before posting

See also: This Lemmy documentation under 'Setting up your profile'

• Languages: Select the languages that you speak to see only content in these languages. This is a new feature and many posts don't specify a language yet, so be sure to select "Undetermined" to see them.

Ideally, we need the ability to select English (or whatever language) AND undetermined - you can select multiple, as long as they are available.

When I view X community@instance from my lemmy.world account (with Undetermined language selected in profile settings), I can see all posts and comments. When I view the same community@instance from my feddit.uk account, there are missing posts and often 0 comments on everything. This needs addressing if possible!

Thursday Moans by juniper in c/ukcasual@lemmy.world

Yes to the hay fever although it's not really my eyes, it's my nose, throat and inner ears. It's driving me nutty! Antihistamines make me feel rough as hell too, so it's either don't take them and suffer or do take them and suffer in a different way. I'm all for councils doing a bit of rewilding and I really want the bees to be safe, but I will moan about the pollen.

Also, the twat across the road leaves his poor dog outside 24/7 all year round. It barks incessantly day and night, howls at every siren and generally sounds like a very unhappy dog. It's upsetting.

'This will pass’ - Reddit boss responds to major chaos at site by juniper in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

[-] juniper@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I knew Reddit was heading in a crap direction since they launched the whole new layout/design. Then the ads started creeping in more and more, then I noticed when they added social media account integration into personal profiles and don't even get me started with the NFT avatars. It's become a steaming pile. It makes me sad to see what's happened. I met my partner on there just over 3 years ago and now we live together! So I will always be thankful for that, but I'm done with that site.

I think there's probably been about 10 flowers in total. It's a shame they don't stay for longer but it's been lovely to see them!

Just deleted my 12 year old reddit account by juniper in c/ukcasual@lemmy.world

[-] juniper@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

I just wiped and deleted mine, too. PSA for anyone who is wanting to remove all their content, you need to delete every comment / post individually before deleting your account. Just deleting the account does not delete the associated postings, your username simply becomes disassociated with them.

I've felt pretty good this week mental health wise, so I'm taking that as a win. Glad the sunshine is finally upon us, even if it does turn the country into a special kind of sweaty hell. It's our sweaty hell.
