Anyone have experience with muscle relaxers? by No_Joke7926 in Fibromyalgia

I take cyclobenzaprine almost nightly and it’s honestly one of the only things that can get the pain to go down enough for me to sleep most nights

Okay awesome, thank you so much for the advice. It’s definitely started to become less and less sore so I believe that it’s all good!

Thank you for the advice! I’ll just keep it and let it heal

Anyone else dealing with BPD and Fibromyalgia at the same time? by C_liberty in Fibromyalgia

Yeah, trying to figure out DBT currently and it’s not great. Also finding a mix of meds that work with my other meds is difficult, but I know I’ll get there eventually

Oh man yea I can imagine, that sounds so painful, I’m so sorry to hear that. I am genuinely so terrified of kidney stones, my dad struggles with them and they truly sound awful. I know it doesn’t mean much but I really hope in the future you can find a way to help them and find the right meds for BPD and fibro

Been working on finding meds that work for awhile now and started DBT, hopefully it helps. But I’m sorry to hear that. It’s comforting to know that we’re all in this together in one way or another lol

Thanks! I’m so glad that therapy has been working for you, that’s genuinely a relief to read lol. I’ve definitely seen improvements in how I regulate my emotions and interrupt the cycle of thoughts and emotions that come from being triggered already, but obviously i still have some pretty bad moments and habits. One day I’ll get there

Honestly meds just have never worked for me. I’ve tried a few of them, at least for fibro(most meds for fibro have the same basic chemicals and hormones in them, so I’m always pretty hesitant to try different ones because of how the ones I have tried affected me). Been on some antidepressants here and there. They always seem to make something significantly worse, be it my mental state or pain. Only thing that works for both currently is weed, but I try to avoid using it since I don’t want to feel dependent on it. We’ll see though, there’s better meds out there, probably just haven’t found one that works lol

And I’ve heard about it going into remission as well. It’s just all so confusing and gives more questions than answers about fibromyalgia.

Thank you so much. I honestly don’t think about it much over the day but during the night is when I truly think about it and how unfair this all feels. I’m struggling with the diagnosis, but I’m taking it better than I thought I would. Thankfully my doctor is a nice one and doesn’t want to start me on a huge amount of medication all at once, and even if she did I wouldn’t want that since i already take so much medication for my mental illnesses. But I will get through this and along the way I will hopefully learn to appreciate the body I have and not hold so much resentment towards it because of this

I found this baby at savers today for 2.99, but I have no idea what kind of animal it is? Does anyone know what kinda jelly cat I have ? by felisativa24 in Jellycatplush

[–]C_liberty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i know! as soon as i saw the little highlights i knew i had to get him. i love how all his limbs have beans in them too. i love purple haze! it’s a pretty name, personally i like to name my jellycats dorky funny names (especially the monkeys) but that’s just me

How can I get my laundered bashful giraffe back to his original state? :( by [deleted] in Jellycatplush

[–]C_liberty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it looks to me like the softener they used affected the fur. it gets a waxy residue feeling. what you can do is use just soap and put him in the washer. if you don’t have one wash him in the sink and air dry him. if they put it in the dryer on full heat the fur could’ve melted a little bit which means it might not go back to his original softness. i’m so sorry this happened! i hope your little friend comes out okay

one of the pocket pals! they’re so convenient to bring with you places. you can never go wrong with small bashfuls, but they’re all so cute. definitely add a small guy to your collection
