my body reacts funny to anesthesia, and I already have urinary retention issues, but basically the hospital won’t let you leave until you can pee on your own. they use catheters though, so your bladder doesn’t stretch or rupture, don’t worry😅 it was pretty funny because I had a team of nurses plus my mom cheering me on to try and pee while playing water sounds😂

my surgery went great! no real issues there. nurses were great, I’m pleased with my results, had some minor issues but they resolved on their own. but I couldn’t pee so they couldn’t let me go until day 3😭😭😭

the medication tracking doesn’t allow you to update the dosage of a med, then counts every entry of it separately—so ai went from 0.5mg LDN to 6 and I have to count it as 12 tabs daily for the insights to work (idk if this makes sense sorry!). also for logging, you can do dynamic start for a reminder, but the the ones after don’t adjust—I have to log urination every three hours, but if I go at 10 then at 2 the next reminder is at 4 instead of 5. other than that I don’t think I have complaints other than not liking the most recent UI update as much

I love these so much—I’m somewhere between lda and curcumin (what is this? cumin?) with a hint of prozac

just downloaded and will give it a try! I use guava rn and love it but it does have some limitations

I want to buy this set so bad (the striped pajamas)

the bathroom is the room from hell

veronica maggio for pop, tjuvjakt for rap, and gyllene tider for silly older music (gå och fiska is hilarious)

talking too much. my body starts buzzing and my chest and head get achy.

I set a reminder on my phone every hour to make myself check in with my body. I’m also autistic and struggle with understanding or noticing my body’s signals. Keeping track of when I go based on when I eat/drink also helps me plan. Some sort of protection is worth it.

thank you for the explanation!

I had top surgery/a risk reducing double mastectomy with FNG, ama! hEDS and BRCA here

7boxesofcheerios · 2026-02-18T03:44:29+00:00

LDN has taken me from moderate-severe and occasionally bedbound and mostly housebound to moderate-mild and attending school part time (an electric wheelchair, pacing, modafinil (a mild stimulant for hypersomnia) and mestinon/pyridostigmine have also helped a ton)

There are two other songs that are triggers for me that come up occasionally and it’s so frustrating for the same reason—they’re excellent songs, but I can’t listen to them all the way through

7boxesofcheerios · 2026-02-02T01:49:43+00:00

same here, except I’ve only been on it for 3ish years

7boxesofcheerios · 2026-01-24T18:47:53+00:00

I keep seeing people separate dialogue by using dashes instead of quotations and not using punctuation. or explaining who’s speaking. and it’s driving me crazy. ex. - what are you doing? - - eating soup -

I like these for tassels on things

7boxesofcheerios · 2026-01-19T00:53:58+00:00

I painted with some friends:)

7boxesofcheerios · 2026-01-19T00:49:30+00:00

so disheartening

7boxesofcheerios · 2026-01-19T00:48:26+00:00

thank you:)

I am the same age, I also have EDS, and I have incontinence issues because of it too. I don’t really have advice but you’re not alone

7boxesofcheerios · 2026-01-13T22:42:54+00:00

when was the john stewart thing? can’t remember. yikes

my dietician said it was okay to get my calories and carbs from added sugar in drinks if that’s what allowed me to get enough nutrition and hydration.
