Hire a paid "intern".

> I had just come off some antibiotics

There's your answer. It was the depletion of your gut microbes that contributed to your fatigue.

For speakers of Romanic languages, the definition of this word will be more obvious than the definition of the word "chew".

Not really an option for a lot of people. Mobility issues might be a problem, environmental issues, personal safety issues, etc.

The crystal article is a guest post by another brand. They don't ever claim that crystals will heal you of any disease. Their brand's purpose is: "the ultimate goal is for you to find your inner voice."

I think for some people, crystals are a frame through which to explore their own intuition and emotional world. Not necessarily a literal concept.

This is awesome! I'd love a tool to animate them too :D

The thing with this man is that he assumed he had the flu:

> By the time I landed in New York that day in February, I felt a flu coming on. The next 48 hours was a marathon, so I resolved to push through.

And he also experienced some very non-flu like symptoms:

> by Wednesday night I was running a serious fever and my left leg was in a surprising amount of pain.

Despite having a high fever and pain, he didn't go to the hospital until he actually collapsed the next day. Had he sought medical treatment as soon as the leg pain manifested, his outcome might not have been as dire.

> It grew until I couldn’t fit trousers over my leg

Good lord, your school let the thing grow on you without sending you to the doctor!? That's unbelievable negligence!

An overworked doctor will prescribe them for "acne" or a "UTI" without too much fuss.

While that's a ridiculous belief, it isn't a racist belief.

My heart is breaking. Toni Morrison was one of the greatest writers of our time. I loved Beloved, but The Bluest Eye is my favorite.

Do you have undiagnosed food allergies/sensitivities? Food shouldn't make you feel like crap.

There's a huge difference between washed-in-the-last-day-or-two genital odor and MONTHS of unwashed genitals!!

What on Earth are you talking about?

What did Sweden get so right with internet that Germany got so wrong??

So did the wife just tolerate the smell during sex? Was there no sex? Just seems so unhygienic for intimacy.

I can't fathom this. I have a condition that makes me incredibly nauseous and STILL I long to cook and eat beautiful meals, even though I can barely tolerate them.

You're probably not a great candidate for fasting. Not every modality works for every person.

Today's equivalent is scanning a QR code with your phone.

Programmers aren't uniquely qualified or special either. Your job could be replaced by a cheap guy in India or Russia in seconds. Or even a cheaper recent grad. Eventually, AI will do your job.

If you have the time to browse HN, you have the time to browser your health insurance website for a new doctor!

Incredible read. Heartbreaking, and futile for almost everyone.

Up until age 8 I had imaginary talking cats, imaginary dolphin friends, an imaginary horse, imaginary ghosts (or maybe those were real, who knows)...

That's a bit unfair. The person in the article was obviously passionate about the industry. nearly every game dev studio has some combination of project managers, salespeople, marketers, hr -- aka non-artists and non-coders who are still incredible valuable.

Get your fiber from vegetables.

Wow. You are incredible.

A year ago I was doing CrossFit 6 days a week. Then I started getting more and more tired. I developed ulcerative colitis and now I alternate between insomnia and sleeping 12 hours a day.

I think years of physical stress from crossfit triggered latent disease. I'm still trying to get my body working normally again.

Yoga and CBD are helping.

I only really learned English grammar properly when I studied Latin in high school.

Bar bathrooms are bathrooms in bars. In the US (NYC), they are usually disgusting. In the UK they were always clean and private.

What kind of cancer did/do you have and at what stage did you begin treatment?

This is truly astonishing, by the way.
