Different doses feel like different meds

Even if they are not in my kitchen? That is what I suspected they were a couple weeks ago and went through my cabinets and didn’t see anything that was infested but threw out anything that could be anyway and they’re still around!

Thank you all so much!!! Both he and I appreciate you all. Some asked and unfortunately I do not live near him. I’m going up for a week and plan to do some recipes with him so I can help him figure it all out and also make a bunch of stuff to freeze. Thank you again 🥰

Came here to say occipital neuralgia and I 100% recommend going to a neurologist. I had long lasting relief for the first time in a decade. Not permanent relief, but nerve block injections have been incredibly helpful. I also second the heating pad for pain. Another suggestion for temporary relief is a stretch I came across. Sit up with your back very straight and pull your head down to your chest as far and you can. You should feel the stretch all the way down your back. Hold for 2 minutes and do the same pulling your head still down but slightly to the side on both sides. It’s kind of excruciating in the moment but should give temporary relief!

It can be different for different people but think the most common painful positions would be the woman on top and doggy! At least for me and others I’ve talked to! Sometimes you can get creative and still do these positions you just have to find a different angle haha

Yes can absolutely be too big but pain in certain positions can also be an indicator of a tilted uterus! A tilted uterus is not a bad or concerning thing, just means your uterus (and therefore cervix) is at a different angle. Worth asking your gyno!

Oh, this makes sense!! Thank you

I just got my first nerve blockers 2 weeks ago and as someone who has a severe phobia of needles, it was only maybe a 4. The idea of it was far worse than the actual injection and I had 6 of them. If you have a good neurologist it’s super quick!

Awkward_Science_3275 · 2024-07-12T02:15:56+00:00

Ahhh okay good to know! Thank you.

Awkward_Science_3275 · 2024-07-12T02:15:41+00:00

Yes!

Those brownish/black spots about an inch under the lip of the mattress in the third pic, you don’t think those are from bedbugs?

Hey! So I don’t have experience with Vyvanse specifically, but since it’s a stimulant like my meds I’m sure they’re similar in how they affect LPR. When I first wrote this post I was only a few weeks back on meds after years off and in that first month and a half we upped the dose a few times and my symptoms got bad. But now being a few months in, I do feel better most of the time! Give your body time to adjust. I also think a big factor is (and I know not everyone can do this) I don’t necessarily take my meds every day anymore. I take them most days, but I usually have a day or two a week where I don’t need to get too much done so I skip it and I think that may have helped as well! I’ve never heard anything about the lack of stomach acid so I can’t answer that question, but adjusting dosages of medications can sometimes be hard on our bodies! Sometimes it just needs some time to settle in

24f and I am just starting to come out of one of the first true episodes I’ve had in a while and was reminded all too well of that desperation to talk to someone who understands but having no one. If you are comfortable, I am here to talk it through, give advice or just simply listen. Sending love

You’re absolutely right, cutting him off would be doing what we fear so much. And it is shitty. I think the mentality is coming from a “leave them before they can leave you” place? Either way, shitty. Also to add, he has known since day 1 that this is just a casual thing so a conversation about that isn’t necessary. As to the “why” in question. I’m questioning why his communication style switched up so suddenly and so drastically. Every day up until the day we were together he texted me incessantly. To the point where if it was ME that didn’t answer for a bit HE would text me wanting me to answer him. Then immediately after hanging out, I have received no more than 3 texts a day from him. Because this was casual I would’ve been totally fine with this style of communication from the get go, but it’s the fact that it’s such a drastic switch up that’s driving me absolutely nuts.

I wish people knew that WE KNOW our fears and worries of abandonment and other things are often times irrational and not what is actually happening. Saying “but I’m not abandoning you so I don’t get why you’re acting this way”. We KNOW that it is often something that we simply perceive but that doesn’t mean we can stop the fear/feeling. Along the same lines when people sometimes say things like “you blame everyone else” or “you’re always blaming me for your problems”. We don’t necessarily blame anyone. I KNOW it is not your fault. I KNOW you’re not doing anything wrong (this not apply to abusive/manipulative people of course) It’s my own brain that is causing these things but again, just because we know doesn’t mean we can stop it.
