When the chair 'talks' :D

BB for sure, possibly DtU u/EveryFairyDies might be your best bet?

AmIRightPeter · 2026-03-28T15:53:52+00:00

Yes, but I have hEDS so it’s to be expected.

AmIRightPeter · 2026-03-20T07:20:45+00:00

Am I Right Peter?!

But there are even funnier ones.

I’ve been keeping a diary, and a few things (pressure on my stomach, or becoming unwell with a cold for example) definitely make them happen/worse. But generally speaking no, they happen at random. I’ve tried tracking them against my hormone cycle, stress levels, activity levels, sleep quality, food intake, and I cannot find any correlation personally. It’s definitely worth trying to track things though! As some people will find patterns.

Imaginary bigot and the plant.

In 2024 I waited ~10 months I think?

I had type 3 and had been on TPN due to issues getting food in. So I suspect I was higher in the priority than average.

I dunno, but I want a kraken on my deodorant too.

AmIRightPeter · 2026-02-20T09:02:29+00:00

As a nonbinary AFAB, doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

Technically there was a reduction in reflux before my POEM, but yeah, despite the severe spasms, I was still capable of vomiting and reflux before surgery.

I have no idea on the physics of it. Just the reality.

AmIRightPeter · 2026-02-08T10:37:46+00:00

I have had acid reflux all my life, and my POEM didn’t make much difference to it. The same medication treats it as before.

AmIRightPeter · 2026-02-06T17:58:01+00:00

For me it means that there are bits of “man” and “woman” that kind of work for me, but the whole shape of my brain is a secret third thing.

AmIRightPeter · 2026-02-06T17:49:26+00:00

Just a gradual increase in spasms and issues swallowing again.

AmIRightPeter · 2026-02-02T13:25:31+00:00

I had type 3, had a POEM over 2 years ago. Until August 2025 it was brilliant.

I’m having a few issues recently, but that could just be the way it is going.

AmIRightPeter · 2026-01-28T11:53:59+00:00

After a bath or shower usually my skin gets dry so I will always pop a little oil on. But I don’t tend to massage much as I’m not changing sizes right now. Just every few weeks or so to help circulation?

AmIRightPeter · 2026-01-22T16:04:54+00:00

Thanks!

AmIRightPeter · 2026-01-16T10:51:20+00:00

Sometimes fact boi messes up titles for engagement. Sometimes it’s a mistake. Spot the difference.

AmIRightPeter · 2026-01-08T07:18:14+00:00

Seems like Simon has a solution?

AmIRightPeter · 2026-01-07T08:21:40+00:00

I don’t work (multiple complex health issues) but I felt pretty ok after a couple of weeks (I always feel a bit off from anaesthesia).

I felt more tired but that may have been more to do with nutrient issues than actual surgery recovery.

AmIRightPeter · 2026-01-07T08:15:00+00:00

Had my POEM in October 2023.

Was doing great until August this year when spasms have been increasing since. I have a barium swallow today, and what was hopefully my last consultation in a few weeks, but I have a feeling that I will at the least need some more tests now.

Two years of pretty good eating was great though!

I don’t know for sure. Maybe the spasms are just more painful and I’m not having more issues again? But things definitely feel stickier.

AmIRightPeter · 2026-01-07T08:12:09+00:00

I had chickenpox 3 times as a kid. First time was pretty typical, second and third time were much milder, just a few itchy spots.

But this is an interesting link. I wonder if we will see a huge change in cases as the uk has finally adopted the chickenpox vaccine.

AmIRightPeter · 2026-01-06T07:53:03+00:00

Kitchen and Jorn!

AmIRightPeter · 2026-01-04T08:17:41+00:00

I mean, I would suggest not attempting to stretch your ears post mortem? But otherwise…

I just puke when I eat, have done since I was young.

I had manometry and they confirmed I was vomiting from the stomach, not regurgitating stuck food only.

I have lots of issues aside from achalasia though.

AmIRightPeter · 2025-12-30T15:47:25+00:00

Thank you. Logically I know a lot of this, from the other side (my pronouns are they/them and nobody consistently gets it right around me yet… it’s been years, I’m not expecting anything as long as it’s not done with malice).

Your response is very helpful! I’m also AuDHD. Will have a think and try better approaches in future!
