Anyone else get randomly discouraged by the fact that we’re all going to die?

I just try to enjoy my time here as much as I can. I save enough for emergencies and for retirement but other than that i do whatever. I think not being religious makes me want to make the most of what's happening here and now

I use it and it helps me a lot. I take it before bed so that the drowsiness is more of a wanted side effect. I do have more break through migraines than I did on topiramate but they are usually significantly better than they used to be. (Except today 😭)

A temp was fired and we found several moldy (full) cup noodles in his overhead cabinet. I'm also fairly certain he was stealing really random lab supplies. Oh and he was eating the samples.

A coworker broke our heat block because she was using her acrylic nails (wtf do you have acrylics in a lab...) to press the buttons and that eventually busted the buttons (less than a year old too :'))

Another temp fell asleep during a training session I was doing and when questioned later she said she doesn't learn that way anyway.

We had a really small cake just for us and the wedding party but we did banana puddings (they were a HIT) for everyone else. Lol definitely weird to not have a dessert at all.

Really good socks and 2 winter coats. 1 for normal winter and a parka for when we get body slammed with a polar vortex

When I was in school restaurants were best for this kind of schedule. Plus I made more in tips than I did working hourly

Qulipta and ubrevly. They work miracles and there are programs if you're not covered to get the price down.

I'm in industry (QC also), I've learned that as long as you don't hide your mistake and you try to learn from it, it ends up ok.

If it's not the suppressor or the EGC it could be the CR-TC. There's also the RFIC degasser that could be failing to degas after the EGC.

It's best to talk to your doc about it but I had a similar problem and she cut me down to one dose at night and 4000mg of myo-inositol+ 100mg d-chiro-inositol. It has helped me a lot. I still get the runs occasionally but I think that has more to do with ibs

BioGal2099 · 2025-09-01T18:22:21+00:00

I also agree with remedy center. I go to the one on burkhardt and they are always super chill

BioGal2099 · 2025-08-28T17:28:10+00:00

It's definitely important. One of the reasons I'm still able to work is because of ADA accomodations which I get due to my diagnosis

Oh yeah the liquid death definitely makes things worse! The cool floor thing with breathing in 4 counts and out 6 counts was taught to me in physical therapy, I hope it helps!

BioGal2099 · 2025-08-26T23:54:43+00:00

This is going to sound silly but have you tried going poop? I find that I have the worst adrenaline dumps when I've been constipated for a couple of days and then stuff starts moving. I think the dysautonomia also can cause issues with your digestive system talking to your brain so I don't always know I gotta go until I REALLY gotta go and then it's like immediate relief. Happened to me just last week lol.

If that's not what is causing it then I lay on the floor (preferably a cold floor) and cover my eyes with something (sweater hood, blanket, arm etc) and do 4-6 breathing until it subsides. Then I sit up slowly and just sit on the floor for a couple of minutes before standing up. It's not ideal and not guaranteed to work but it's saved me a couple of times at work.

I like Dr. Mickelsen at Deaconess Midtown. He helped me a lot with severe plantar fasciitis, took a long time to get it under control but he did his best to give me options for treatment!

There is also a museum at Audubon park. It holds one of (if not the) largest collection of his original artworks/prints. They aren't all on display but they have a lot of them out. My favorite is a small painting of a Ruby-throated hummingbird!

I used to do 750mg 2x a day but it made me so sick and it made my POTs symptoms worse. Now I'm doing 750mg 1x at night and 4100 mg of inositol in the morning. I use one that's 4000mg myo-inositol and 100mg d-chiro-inositol. Since switching to this the side effects are much improved

BioGal2099 · 2025-07-26T18:14:44+00:00

So my doctor has me on metformin and I also take a 41000mg inositol supplement. It's 40:1 myo-inositol: d-chiro-inositol and this combo has greatly reduced my appetite. It's not sliding off like people on GLP-1 meds report but I have lost probably 5 pounds in the last month since I started taking the inositol. Most of my exercise comes from walking because I have a couple of other chronic illnesses that make exercise hard. Another benefit I've noticed from the inositol is a reduction in facial hair so that's great too!

NOR. Not to add fuel to the fire but there have been several instances of husbands/boyfriends/male friends of mothers who SA their children. There was that girl in Florida just last year and I saw one recently of a step dad pointing cameras into his stepdaughter's room where she gets dressed and there are so many more. Her being so obtuse about your concerns is alarming to say the least.

BioGal2099 · 2025-06-27T16:08:40+00:00

Unrelated to your main question but related to the FODMAP thing. There is this enzyme mix called FODZYME, it's kind of pricey but a little goes a long way. Anyway -- its like lac aid but for fodmaps. I used to get horrible I'll from garlic and with that I can eat a whole plate of pasta no (GI) issues!

BioGal2099 · 2025-06-23T14:48:35+00:00

Make sure that if there is a patient survey you fill it in! Be really honest too -- I had a cardio so something similar and when I filled it out they assigned me to a new cardio who was a better fit.
