  • They seemed to like the drawn tutorial (with the original video credited of course) so I whacked up part 2 - someone followed them both and posted their results. There you go. I’ve made my first few tutorials and kinda become a teacher to others.

    Now to actually learn how to draw myself and not teach people bad habits 🤪

    I managed to get another weeks worth of antibiotics which will hold me til I can see my regular gp.

    I feel heavy as lead and like I’ve been beaten by a sack of hammers. The anxiety has been bad today too which can be the low phosphate. The phosphate supplement has to be ordered in and costs $70-ish…

  • You know what really sucks?

    When you're a certain level of chronically ill/disabled you have a lot of time on your hands. But then you're too unwell to actually do much of substance with it, or even concentrate enough for learning >:( It's not restful or easy at all and neither is it fruitful.

    It's like that guy who broke his glasses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Enough_at_Last

  • What I’m saying is it might be safer to just allow him to abuse the melatonin than take the vitamin D unknowingly and risk overdose. It can also be cumulative if he’s taking it for a while.

    Only 3 is hopefully fine if that’s all there is and then it’s finished. But just to be aware that they’re not a safe placebo like a sugar pill especially when someone takes too many

  • Yeah, I’m keenly aware of antibiotic stewardship 😣

    I wasn’t aware of the new guidelines so fingers crossed that’s the only issue. I’m hoping that I might be able to get a pack each 5 days without a fight…

    This isn’t ideal for me either. But unfortunately due to being immunocompromised and having already had a root canal the infection roars right back every time I finish. Starts spreading into my jaw and neck.

    I’m just trying to contain it until I can get the extraction so I don’t end up in hospital with sepsis.

  • Just fyi - watch out for him raising the dose of the “melatonin” if it isn’t working. As vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin and taken too much or too often can result in toxicity.

    You know a very stubborn person might do it so be careful. Edit: Sorry, he already has raised the dose of the actual melatonin to three times the recommended amount. It isn’t safe to do that with vitamin D. https://www.abc.net.au/news/health/2022-07-06/vitamin-d-overdosing-toxic-effect-how-much-should-you-take/101205656

    The melatonin would just get less effective with overuse and potentially cause rebound insomnia
