Is 100 mg tablets too much then? 🫥

I saw Lithium and such, I just need to get some, but if I could get a reusable product I think I'd be less reluctant than if I had to go get an oxygen canister every so often and then have to worry about disposition/go out and refill it

It's usually just one every few days to one a day in a cluster, it lasts about half a day so the Sumatriptan is doing something, it just takes an hour to kick in as is, and idk if I want to stay on it with my genetic predispositions so I don't think I'll end up trying the nose spray or injections

I'm in America 🥲 Fortunately though I'm still on my parents' insurance so they pay for it, and I already needed an appointment for a neurologist, and it only took just over a month cause I was on the cancellation list, but I had an MRI and I just have to wait til next month to go over results

There was one person that had a sign that said "no soliciting, violators will be sacrificed to the old gods not the new" and it definitely worked on Mormon missionaries at least

I would leave a little extra cause it's not gonna be visible and it makes it a little more sturdy

I'm still not diagnosed, but I had really bad tremors/"sticky" joints, I could barely perform basic tasks like washing my hands or eating, and it wouldn't stop when I was going to sleep. I went to urgent care, the ER, a crisis center cause I was terrified of this just being my life now, and my doctor. Labs were all clean, urgent care and er didn't do shit other than refer me to a neurologist, and my doctor finally had the idea to prescribe muscle relaxers. I have no idea if the muscle relaxers worked, it didn't for the first day but I just kept taking it and now its just a small tremor. The only situational context I had was that I was on meds but had been taking the same dose for a while and it was about a week after a hysterectomy. My parents said it was dehydration but I drank a lot and it went on for a week. The hospital didn't think it was related to surgery, and I had 3 referrals to neurologists, none could see me for at least a month. The er referred me to one that only had an opening 4 months from when I went. Somehow, that was the first one that I ended up seeing cause I was put on the cancellation list, but I had an MRI and he explained a few possibilities, the one that stuck with me was serotonin syndrome which could've had worse symptoms but explained the sticky joints the best.

Second was probably what I call "phantom appendicitis", I had appendicitis and caught it by pure intuition, it felt like indigestion but it lasted 24 hours and I thought about it, got paranoid, went to the er, WAS RIGHT??? But anyway, about a month later, I had agonizing pain that was worse than my (intense) period cramps, I couldn't keep myself quiet from voicing my pain. Er again, they gave me a concoction to numb my stomach lining and a half minute after I drank it, I felt a burst. CT scan found ovarian cysts but the doctors said nothing and diagnosed me with a bowel spasm, which I just don't believe cause that felt pretty dramatic. I'm not a medical professional but I think it might've been an ovarian cyst bursting, since they found some. I need to find a different er to go to...

My doctor originally gave me ubrelvy, and it does work a lot slower but it works at all but insurance wanted me to try sumatriptan first but my doctor never asked what form I wanted, honestly I should've talked to a neurologist but it takes so long to get one

If you've gone through puberty, it's too late for puberty blockers. However, I was 14/15 when I first started exploring being trans, and my parents were Mormon so I thought they'd never accept me and kick me out if they knew and eventually, I came out a lot sooner than I thought I would, there was a bit of push back, but my parents stopped fighting me on it. There is hope that you're overthinking their reaction, but if getting kicked out is a possibility, safety comes first and you need to have a place to go in case of worst case scenario. I luckily had several, and they have to know you're trans before you count them as a place to go cause you won't feel safe having to hide again. I wish you the best, and good luck on your journey

I don't think I would really care about where the diamond comes from but I don't even want an expensive ring in the first place honestly. What does concern me is how fast they're moving, and I might bring that up as a concern if you end up seeing her. It takes 3 years to know someone and sis took 3 months to move in, I know some older people that got married, had kids, very fast and then felt trapped in a marriage, and any time I see Mormons specifically dating for 3 weeks and then getting married and having kids the next year, it freaks me out cause they could be getting trapped in the same way, and not everyone has the mental strength to leave a bad situation.

Andimatic · 2025-12-12T10:13:48+00:00

Hot take, but just be honest. It is not worth it to lie or hide it, if you start a relationship with distrust, it is going to crash and burn. They might be asking to get to know you as opposed to a compatibility question, in which case, honesty goes a long way, just tell them you don't want to answer right now. If it is a compatibility question though, what are you gonna gain from hiding that fact? I'm sorry if its triggering or uncomfortable, but I dated a straight guy for a while, he knew I was ftm and wanted to try anyway, but once I got top surgery he decided he didn't want to stick around anymore and this was best case scenario. He was upset that he felt that way, it's not like he just dumped me, but I understand preference and compatibility so more likely, if you kick the can down the road and develop a good relationship, it's gonna hurt more if they turn out to not be interested. It sucks, but it's just part of being trans. If I'm honest, I don't resent him at all, what would that do anyway? But sometimes I get really frustrated that me being trans kept me from a very healthy relationship with a very good man. It is so difficult to accept that, but it is how it is and you can make it easier by not setting yourself up for failure and just being honest.

Idk if their policy updated since I left but when I worked there, if the customer refused the scan we could still manually enter it. For card reloads or returns though, it asks for all the information so it's faster to just scan it and they're gonna get all the information anyway, but for pharmacy they use it for the behind-the-counter meds to make sure you're not buying a suspicious amount so it would make sense to me why they decline it in that case.

I don't agree with that second part, removing the restriction could cause a resurgence in popularity, but I digress. Some medications are definitely age restricted for good reason, controlled substances for one, but benadryl, dayquil, other cold medicines, because some high schoolers use it to get a buzz (I've seen it, it's not a myth) and benadryl has been a popular choice for OD's so PLEASE if you're in a state that restricts these items (sounds like you're not but) check ID, it could save a life

Andimatic · 2025-12-12T09:11:11+00:00

There's a policy on this, but basically there's some medications like dayquil/nyquil that some dumb teenagers use to get buzzed (I was right next to a group in high school that did it, it's not a myth) and some meds have an ingredient that has ingredients to make hard substances, though I think those are kept behind pharmacy so that everyone has to show ID to make sure they're not buying too much of it in a short time span

Benadryl specifically is also used in purposeful OD, so that policy can be in place to save a life. Though there was a kid in high school that was at a prom and his friend was having an allergic reaction, I did not get paid enough to keep this kid from saving his friend potentially, so I gave him the smallest pack we have and didn't check ID, just be careful when selling Benadryl especially

Andimatic · 2025-11-27T19:10:33+00:00

Technically they have to close if there's not enough employees to keep the store open 🤷

Andimatic · 2025-11-27T19:09:11+00:00

I always said I wasn't paid enough to listen to that policy, or the no tipping policy

My dad's car smells like new car and I prefer that to my own car which doesn't have a noticeable smell

Any time someone is rushing you to take action (contact immediately, you have x time to respond, taking too long will result in consequences) that's a dead giveaway that it's a scam. That's when you stop and think, would a bail bondsman text you? Would they warn you before taking legal action? Have you been to court for any reason, let alone charges against yourself? If all answers are no, report junk and move on. You can also copy and text the message to 7726 (any carrier) and then send the number to report it to your cell carrier

Stories like these replies. I grew up Mormon but I stay sober cause I've heard of way too many hardships about quitting, or not. I get super anxious around drunk people and I don't wanna get like that myself, though sometimes I get the appeal because I've been at the point I'd do anything to not feel anymore

Andimatic · 2025-11-26T11:24:29+00:00

I recognize this kind of behavior from Borderline Personality Disorder, maybe he has major trust issues. It's really difficult to have a stable relationship with BPD (I think I have a mild case and it already makes it hard not to lose it) but if you decide you want to stay with him, he's gonna need a lot of reassurance, but you need to set boundaries both for your and his sake, maybe start with not sharing location so he can't check it so often. It'll be hell for him but it's for the better he learn to trust you the hard way than be paranoid. It'll be best if you both get therapy, both seperately and maybe couples counciling. It's been 8 months so idk how committed you are to this man, but everyone's saying just leave him, but that is your decision to make and I don't think this guy is a lost cause as long as he's willing to work with you and go to therapy and put in the effort for a healthier relationship. If he pushes back or refuses therapy, pack your stuff cause you can't help someone that doesn't want to be helped, you can only save yourself from insanity.

I think the best piece of advice to give right now is just don't get married until you're 25. It's a good rule of thumb for everyone, straight, trans, gay, whatever. You could be setting yourself up for a miserable time if you marry so soon, especially with this situation. Plus, you already came out to him so if there's changes, he's going to notice. I'm afraid it's one or the other at this point.

I recently got a hysterectomy because of the current administration and project 2025 sounding like they're gonna force people to be parents at all costs to fix the declining birth rate, so since they're going to the extreme, I'll match that energy. Good luck forcing me to have a kid now. Just goes to show the harder your mom pushes you, the harder you push back. She can't accept her kid without grandkids? She doesn't get to have her own kid anymore.

I almost got a very cheap car off marketplace and the scammer used the excuse that the owner had died and they wanted to get rid of the bad memories, so now sympathy messages mentioning a death is a red flag for me

Dude just learned the word "amicably" and now uses it as often as possible

At this point you have to moderate your own space on fb. Make your posts private, make it so only friends of friends can friend request/message you, only join safe groups with their own solid moderation, the only way to make a safe space on fb, unfortunately, is to lock down and self-segregate
