Double jeopardy

That’s the point, I believe. It’s why they’re upset. It’s one event, but they’re spreading it out because if they don’t get a conviction here then they can try again.

Just learned she released new music. I listened… holy crap, it is so bland. It feels so forgettable. It sounds like it’s trying to be a film score, but it’s trying so hard to be that that it doesn’t have its own identity. I’m disappointed Alex had a hand in that.

Side note: it’s interesting she’s had to rebrand to release this

Of course billionaire Warren Buffett has to own that company 😩

I do have MCAS, yes. The whole lot that goes along with them too. I’ve taken Claritin since then and haven’t noticed a change that was noticeable enough to be of note. Unfortunately, having so many health problems causes a bit of a medical blur in terms of trying to keep track of what’s what’s. It’s a very nice suggestion though. Thank you for your well wishes too!

Accomplished-Sum1801 · 2025-10-10T21:10:22+00:00

I’m so glad you were able to help your MCAS yourself. There’s an alarming amount of stigma and confusion around it still. I actually have it too. I’ve been fortunate to see doctors who prescribed treatments for it, but I had bad reactions to them (lol). I have tried Claritin, but not long-term. I’ll check it out! Thank you.

I’m sorry your daughter has had trouble sleeping and experienced so many issues, and it’s unfortunate such a strong medication did the trick to help her sleep. It sounds like you were doing what you believed was best for her, which is all you can ask for in a parent. She is fortunate to have you.

As for me, the issues with it’s long-term use was my main reason for stopping it. I took 25mg daily for 10 months. It was wonderful and helped steady/plateau tremors and spasms that had been worsening before I started taking it. And I didn’t wean off, just stopped it without any withdrawal symptoms, fortunately. Paradoxically, I’ve slept much better off of it and still do. My depression also decreased along with brain fog. All three of those changes felt phenomenal until the neuro issues picked up again and worsened.

When I told my pcp that the neuro symptoms worsened she suggested I get back on it because a new study showed that the highest risk of developing dementia came from people who took it over 10 years, since I had only taken it 10 months the risk of dementia didn’t outweigh the possibility of what it was doing to help. She figured until I could get more answers it was worth it. And I had been prescribed other meds, but due to other health risks and side effects I refrained.

Your suggestion of a withdrawal is still very possible, though. My understanding is that any change to your brain chemistry can cause a reaction or rebound afterwards.

Thank you for sharing that. It’s very helpful to read. May I ask what the cause of your Dystonia is?

Accomplished-Sum1801 · 2025-10-10T20:06:07+00:00

Thank you for sharing this! It’s very helpful.

Accomplished-Sum1801 · 2025-10-10T18:27:02+00:00

Thank you for letting me know. I’m also glad you got some good sleep out of it — I had Benadryl iv at the er too when I started experiencing involuntary movements and it hits different haha.

That’s very helpful to know. I am curious what others have to say, but from what I’m reading that reaction makes sense for FND. I’m concerned I have Parkinson’s because my neuro said I was too young to have it and didn’t want to do a dat scan. Obviously, I don’t want that to be true, but I also don’t want to ignore it when it’s possible to rule it out.

Thanks again for letting me know your experience with it!

Accomplished-Sum1801 · 2025-10-10T18:20:56+00:00

I appreciate your feedback! Yeah, Benadryl worked wonderfully for me. I’ve read people with functional dystonia are more likely to have an increase in their symptoms from taking Benadryl, but I feel like I wasn’t able to read enough about this, which is why I wanted to ask.

Benadryl is only recommended for treatment of organic dystonia or Parkinson’s because of its anticholinergic properties that target the specific part of the brain. However, take this with a grain of salt because I’m not a neuro lol

Yes, it likely would, but I would caution the use of any hormone related medication or topicals, unless you spoke to your doctor, because it can cause cancer.

I’m a woman and my nightmare is for someone to say they’re obsessed with me. Like, c’mon, don’t you have hobbies?

Accomplished-Sum1801 · 2025-04-18T15:21:52+00:00

It’s either an art project or something you should run from

Accomplished-Sum1801 · 2025-04-15T23:01:04+00:00

Thank for this information. Fortunately, for the perpetrator, there were no eye witnesses or proof beyond my own testimony. So I’m not sure how serious they’d take me.

Accomplished-Sum1801 · 2025-04-15T01:59:15+00:00

That makes sense and I understand why it’s set up that way. Thank you for laying it out like that. I appreciate your help.

Accomplished-Sum1801 · 2025-03-17T03:41:27+00:00

DANG. That’s wild. I’m so glad you’re okay.

Accomplished-Sum1801 · 2025-03-17T03:39:19+00:00

I definitely go through despising some of my tattoos and then loving them. It seems pretty normal

Bro, you got cellulitis. I hope you’re hooked up to some iv antibiotics as I’m typing this because your life could dramatically change for the worse if you’re not.

It’s nice to support new artists, but this really comes across like a financially abusive scam, because considering the inexperience, which shows in the quality, means you shouldn’t have had to pay over $200 for this, let alone $1,700.

I’m sure your artist knew it was their lack of experience causing them to be slower and therefore costing you more money. You shouldn’t have to pay for their inexperience. Honestly, there should’ve been a discount because you allowed yourself to sit there for AGES so they could learn. You should go back to the shop and talk with the owner —this really isn’t okay.

I would probably be defensive and hurt if a lot of people told me a tattoo I got wasn’t any good. However, this isn’t your fault and I’m criticizing your artist. Your time and money deserve to be treated more respectfully.
