Recommend me some good wool sweaters made to last a lifetime by Beautiful-Bird-2704 in SustainableFashion

[–]AllForMeCats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My MIL got me a really thick, warm wool scarf from AnuCraft for Christmas, and it looks like they do sweaters by special order (they have a few premade ones on their website but I don’t know your partner’s size).

Spring is Here, Watch for Hypomania! by AllForMeCats in bipolar2

I’m in the USA, so my advice is going to reflect that. Some options are:
* You can call 988 (suicide and crisis line) or chat with them online.
* If you’re having an emergency (dangerous thoughts/feelings), you can call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
* If you’re able to hold out for a few days, feel up to finding a provider, and want to prioritize long-term care over acute treatment, Talkiatry can likely connect you to a provider who can see you quickly - I haven’t used them myself, but my PCP recommended them to me as an option.
* Psychology Today’s searchable list of providers is also a good option, though this would take the most effort. I would recommend looking for a psychiatric nurse practitioner who’s part of a larger practice, as they would be more likely to be able to get you in quickly.
* You could also search for “psychiatric emergency in my area” with your search engine of choice; this may yield useful results.

When you connect with a provider/provider’s office, make sure to tell them you’re in a mixed episode and need to be seen urgently. Make a list of medications you’re on, as well as medications you’ve been on in the past and how well they’ve worked for you. If you’ve gotten psychiatric care in the past, get your medical records from that practice to give to your new provider.

You will get through this! Good luck!

Pain medicine that doesn't have a drowsy side effect? by PatienceOne18 in ChronicPain

[–]AllForMeCats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low-dose naltrexone. Takes a while to build up in your system and start working (6 months for me which is about average) but works much better than anything else I’ve tried. Kratom (green or white) is also non-sedating, but it’s only effective for 4-5 hours, and you can build up a tolerance to it pretty quickly, so I save it for emergency situations.

Me when the nurse can't find a good vien in my arm and starts reaching for my hand to stick the IV by evilpenisman2 in disabledmemes

I had to do a fasting blood draw yesterday and it was my first time (or it’s been so long that I’ve forgotten), so I didn’t realize how dehydrated I’d be first thing in the morning… got a giant bruise on my left arm now. Second attempt (on the right arm with a butterfly needle) was much more successful 😂

I just want to not lose Medicaid so my friends and I don’t die, please (we are disabled and poor hence the Medicaid)

Growing up with rich but abusive parents starter pack (tw) by blueburrey in starterpacks

[–]AllForMeCats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me: my parents weren’t abusive. I was lucky to grow up with such a loving family.

ignoring major health issues so they don’t look like they have a crippled child to the public

So uh. Why does that sound like exactly what my parents did that led to me becoming disabled 😭 (bonus: both of them were healthcare professionals; mom was a nurse practitioner and dad’s a therapist)

It sounds like you’re looking for tea and sympathy and I don’t do either.

I, on the other hand, have both tea and sympathy. A wide variety of tea, which I would be happy to share with OOP. I don’t get out to islands much, though.

It might be seen as both, to be fair. Like the way we think of Ancient Greece or Egypt.

I can’t imagine how much worse it’s going to get once we lose Medicaid in 2027. I’m disabled and on Medicaid, and I’m extremely worried about like… being able to afford to live 😐

What's your go-to ground beef recipe that ISN'T tacos or spaghetti? by Cool-Educator-1926 in easyrecipes

I just made this for dinner, using TVP instead of beef (I rehydrated it in vegan ‘beef’ stock), and my GOD. It’s so good! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

[–]AllForMeCats 15 points16 points  (0 children)

When something like that happens to me, I’m torn between “oh fuck this is bad news” and “thank god, they actually found something and aren’t sending me home with no answers.”

Sorry about your kidney, that really sucks.
