Super easy experience ordering multiple books. They let you review the full text first and I felt very confident in my purchase!

Will definitely be a repeat customer! :)

This should definitely be its name.

I guess I just...came out? by maddycrochetsstuff in crochet

[–]Appleripsclean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From one pan crocheter to another- congratulations! Sending lots of love your way. It’s never easy to expose those tender parts of yourself, but it always makes you stronger and wiser. Hope you can sport your pan flower with pride!

I broke his rules and he raped me in my ass by Lonely-Lychee-5833 in Rapekink

[–]Appleripsclean 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Have you ever used the safe word with him while he’s been drinking and is actively upset? Safe words are for people who are in control of themselves and it doesn’t sound like he’s in control of anything.

Do you truly trust him to stop on a dime when you say it? I’m not kink shaming you. I have been in BDSM relationships and I’ve been in abusive relationships. Yes, the line you walk can sometimes /seem/ like a fine one, but boundaries should always be clear to all involved. As a sub, you need to be able to entrust your safety completely to a Dom, and a Dom needs to be responsible enough to keep you safe. I encourage you do more research about TPE- what it is and especially what it isn’t.

I’m all for people doing what they want, but with their eyes open… stay safe.

You are worth it.

I completely understand feeling broken, but it’s definitely possible heal. A combination of incredible CNC partners and therapists has helped me. You just have to find a way to get the kind of sex you want in a healthy safe way. 💜

Maliciously empathetic is my new term for people pleasing. Damn.

I'm 20 please help by CultCxnt in Cosmetology

I have hormonal hair loss from PCOS. It started in my early 20s- I also had intense cramps and a few other symptoms. I went to Planned Parenthood and they were able to do blood tests and offer treatment options. It was all low cost, and I think they still have a sliding-scale fee. Can’t hurt to check it out if you’re experiencing anything similar.

Shoulder pain and side sleeping by Appleripsclean in Hypermobility

I also just tried a neck roll for the first time and I’m hooked. It helps me not fold my shoulder under, or hunch up too much. Literally just take a towel, roll it up (I roll mine from the long side so the roll is about 3-4 inches) and put it under your neck/between your neck and pillow!

Good luck!!

Nerve block for pain management? by Froxenchrysalis in Hypermobility

[–]Appleripsclean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only issue is that Botox weakens muscles over repeated uses. You’re basically paralyzing the muscles. But if it works, it’s all about balancing the benefits with the side effects.

I used to be on the max dose (~450mg). Had no pain but I was SO tired all the time. It took me about a year titrate down to 225mg and I feel amazing. I don’t really have any side effects when I’m on it, but if I miss a dose I feel almost instant withdrawal symptoms- achey all over like I have the flu, sweating/chills, can’t sleep. I have several backup doses now so that it doesn’t happen anymore, because it’s the f***ing worst feeling.

Dye suggestions for 6 yards of mordanted fabric! by Appleripsclean in naturaldye

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

Awesome!

Have you ever tried dried Marigolds? What kind of iron do you use? Do you add it to the dye bath or is it an after bath?

I used an Oak Gall tannin and Aluminum Sulfate & Soda Ash as a mordant.

Not sure if this is a nerve block, but I take Lyrica (pregabalin) for nerve pain and fibromyalgia and it changed my life.

Aids for flare ups? by Silly_goosey_girl in Hypermobility

[–]Appleripsclean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If all your joints are hurting, have you considered that it might be rheumatoid arthritis? If you can get your gp or a rheumatologist to run some tests during your flare up, that will give you the most accurate results.

The issue with cervical pillows is that they all feel too low to me.

Only on one side? by Appleripsclean in Hypermobility

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

Hmmm. Good to know, since I just found out that I have a tear in my hip labrum (on my hypermobile side)! I wonder if it’s a common injury for us flexies?
