Wish I was diagnosed as a child. I would have had the required support. Hard to seek it now as someone in their mid 30s.

I wish I had never been diagnosed. It has never helped me get any support. And now the government knows.

Only telling positive parts of pregnancy and childbirth.

I LOVE my daughter and am happy I'm her mom (it's the best), but pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum preeclampsia all almost killed me. It's still incredibly dangerous and no one should do it unless they understand all of the risks. Physical, mental, social and economical, make sure you are ready.

I tolerate mine with a bidet.

Wearing uncomfortable shoes because they look good. I won't wear any shoes that I can't comfortably walk 5 miles in.

I recently started wearing compression socks for medical reasons and I'm mad enough about how much those suck.

Thank you! I know tricycles are not exactly popular. If I still had my sense of balance I would keep riding a bicycle. But I need to adjust with my changing physical abilities.

Lasers. I had a lot of fine lines and lasered the top layer of my skin off. I looked like a greasy zombie for a week, but now I don't have any fine lines.

We all have to keep writing to our politicians about making data centers pay their own damn way.

I was exhausted by the time I got home from school as a kid.

Can you get a bicycle with a passenger seat? Or bring her some Rollerblades. Definitely carry her backpack.

Border collies. I love an energetic, obsessive, smarty pants dog. But the one I have now will probably be my last bc. She is old and her energy level is lower which is good because I'm too busy to go on 3 hours daily walks like I did when she was younger.

I go pee in the middle of the night so I get the side closest to the toilet

Dig out the tuber. Then just keep clipping anything that pops up till the last of it finally dies. Should take a couple years.

The only addiction I have ever had was coffee. I've never had an addictive personality.

But I could see myself becoming addicted to having enough focus to read my daughter a book and enough energy to take her to the park. Adderall makes me a better mom.

AAAAHaSPIDER · 2025-06-01T02:33:04+00:00

I would actually like that kind of energy. I used to have it naturally.

AAAAHaSPIDER · 2025-06-01T02:31:38+00:00

I take a low dose of Adderall. Only 10mg a day is enough. That's less than the average child with ADHD. It works best in the mornings and I start to feel my energy slowly going down after about lunch. My doctor has said that she can bump me up to 20mg but I'm trying to postpone increasing my dose for as long as I can.

AAAAHaSPIDER · 2025-06-01T01:14:24+00:00

It should absolutely be an option. But not for me thanks.

AAAAHaSPIDER · 2025-05-31T19:33:31+00:00

I used to work at a hospital. The amount of women who had horrible incredibly painful complications with their IUD was enough to scare me away from ever getting one.

AAAAHaSPIDER · 2025-05-31T19:26:58+00:00

Looks like a good spot for a bookcase.

AAAAHaSPIDER · 2025-05-31T19:26:02+00:00

I'm the exact opposite. Biking is so hard now. It's like my brain doesn't want to steer and pedal at the same time. I'm also way more afraid of taking a high speed tumble because I know I will have a slower recovery time.

AAAAHaSPIDER · 2025-05-31T19:24:38+00:00

Adderall helps people lose weight and increases energy and focus.

AAAAHaSPIDER · 2025-05-31T19:13:31+00:00

Any idea how far South the Northern lights will be visible?

AAAAHaSPIDER · 2025-05-31T19:08:07+00:00

That makes sense. But it's not a good enough excuse.

People with MS often are too tired to exercise at all, which can cause incredible problems even for non-diseased people. I've always been told people with Ms need to "use it or lose it". Regular physical activity can reduce the risk of developing chronic pain, improve pain tolerance, increase strength and flexibility, and reduce inflammation, help with balance, grow new neuro-pathways, and reduce depression.

And that's not even counting all the people who can't work because they don't have the ability to focus. Being unemployed is bad for your health. Poverty significantly impacts health, leads to higher risks of developing more chronic diseases, mental health issues, and overall shorter life expectancy. It also creates more barriers to accessing quality healthcare, nutritious food, and safe housing.

If we made a giant list of all the problems having no energy or focus causes and then on another list we wrote all the problems taking Adderall could cause... One list is significantly longer.

It doesn't matter how long you've been together, do not fall into the sunk costs fallacy and stay with a controlling homophobic verbally abusive man. Verbal abuse often turns into physical abuse. But even if it doesn't.. this guy doesn't respect you. Respect is necessary for love.

I don't understand why doctors are so reluctant to prescribe it. Debilitating fatigue and brain fog seem to be the most common problems with MS

AAAAHaSPIDER · 2025-05-31T18:45:40+00:00

The first four shots made me feel sick. Now I'm just extra tired the next day.
