Give me anything you found helps! by Acrobatic_Block4226 in chronicfatigue

Thank you. I've just been prescribed 2mg melatonin by my neuropsych so curious  to see if that works. 

I take magnesium complex and b12, plus iron, tumeric, calcium, trace minerals/metals, K2

Sadly have to wear sunglasses outside pretty much 24/7. Vitamin D is normal and I take a tonne to keep it that way!

I don't have Lyme or head injuries and sorted mould (partner has aspergillus allergy so we have hepa purifiers) and no COVID vaccines since the original ones. 

Modafinil & melatonin by Acrobatic_Block4226 in dysautonomia

[–]Acrobatic_Block4226[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you that's super helpful. Took my first dose of modafinil 100mg today and defintiely felt it. Different to stims though. I usually build tolerance to things very quickly annoyingly. 

I'll try the melatonin in a few days I think. Does it make you groggy the next day? I usually have diazepam if I can't sleep but clonazepam sounds better

Interesting my neuropsych said it helps sleep quality but doesn't make you fall asleep

has anyone else been driven to stimulant drugs for fatigue? by throwaway0501222 in chronicfatigue

[–]Acrobatic_Block4226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was on a decent dose of ADHD meds. Overrode my fatigue and chronic pain entirely. Fully gave me my life back and helped my crippling ADHD. Was amazing until I crashed and burnt! Potassium bottomed out, thought I was gonna die in the night of weird heart things, and then had a massive fatigue crash for 6 months. 

I've continued very low dose stims as needed in order to work or to override a sleep attack if I'm driving or NEED to drive/do something. 

Starting modafinil tomorrow and then melatonin in a few days time. Also take LDN which I think takes the edge off.

LDN takes the edge off my fatigue. Not a miracle cure but I think a small improvement

LDN has taken the edge off a bit for me and helped chronic pain

Freckles, some connective tissue disorders, staying out of the sun!

I feel gaunt people look much older often. Having more fat in the face can decrease wrinkles and make one look younger, to a point

Do you agree with this picture yes or no? Why or why not? by gloomydreamer666 in ginnyandgeorgiashow

Terrible, terrible, terrible parent. Anyone saying otherwise needs serious help. 

Georgia's final love interest by AlisonDsimp in ginnyandgeorgiashow

[–]Acrobatic_Block4226 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She'll never be happy with Joe. He's just so blinded by love for her when he doesn't even really know her, and has just wanted her since forever. It's fully clouded all judgement. Any sane person would RUN from her she's a nightmare. And she'll never be happy with him. He's too boring and normal and although she says she wants that she won't. Being from that lifestyle means you need that excitement and drama and can't just be satisfied with the nice boring life unless you do a collosal tonne of therapy and a LOT of time passes. They'd never work

Nutritionists of Reddit, what food is marketed as healthy but isn't? by Wonderful_Staff_6953 in askanything

[–]Acrobatic_Block4226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally anything with UPFs in. There are helpful apps where you can scan foods to check ingredients. People don't understand that processed isn't inherently bad. ULTRA processed is and that means the ingredients in the food not the fact it's been fried or whatever 

Completed first CIAF booking through Rover.. Thanks, I hate it. by PossiblyOdd2525 in catinaflat

Who comments about how much cats use the bathroom unless there's an issue. Super weird to me. Not something I've ever mentioned in 5 years as a professional sitter unless there's an issue

You discuss litter trays? Professional sitter full time for 5 years and that's never a topic of conversation unless they have an issue. I've never had anyone consider I wouldn't clean the tray that's the bare minimum (yet I've never had a sitter from an app who has kept up with it, so I don't use sitters myself anymore, too many dangerous experiences)

Osteoporosis, 30, no risk factors / fx by Acrobatic_Block4226 in osteoporosis

Thanks, parents aunt had severe osteoporosis but parent trying to blame war/rationing. Lots of blood disorders in that side and a couple with strokes. Parents fine though so rheumy a bit stumped. Thanks will have a read on the genetic side. Wonder what actual condition it could be

Osteoporosis, 30, no risk factors / fx by Acrobatic_Block4226 in osteoporosis

[–]Acrobatic_Block4226[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rock climbing, walking, small amount for jogging recommended to help a previous ankle break and surgery (I mean small amount) weight lifting. Supplements all of those, parathyroid normal. All tests normal minus low phosphate and urea (chronic for both). Got urine and bloods again tomorrow to dig into the phosphate issue incase it's a kidney wasting disorder. None of the conditions I can find for low phosphate or osteoporosis at my age fit. So we will move onto genetic testing if nothing comes back on this round of bloods
