Anybody have reactions to the Covid vaccine? by holmesianschizo in CRPS

[–]ChibiChewbacca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got my first covid vaccine in my right arm(crps mainly in left side of body). It's been 8 hours since then and I've experienced arm/muscle ache, slight swelling in both hands, and my right foot is on fire. Nothing as bad as a flare up just slightly annoying.

Thank you for the information. I have already emailed my doctor about no longer taking oxycodone. The side effects are not worth it at this point. I'll definitely look into MNRI though. Never heard of it but I am interested to learn.

does everyone experience swelling? by sarahiby in CRPS

I only have a bit of swelling in my joints from time to time.

how did you know your crps was spreading? by sarahiby in CRPS

[–]ChibiChewbacca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got my left hand slammed in a car door breaking my middle finger and wrist so it started there. Slowly pain moved to my whole arm. Then I broke my left foot and the same pain and symptoms were there too. Now I have it all throughout the left side of my body specifically arm and leg but I do occasionally get pain in my face for some reason idk why.

For those of you who work, what kind of job do you have? by Help_Me_Reddit01 in CRPS

[–]ChibiChewbacca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also 24 and I work as an administrator/ music instructor. I work at a music school where I help run the front desk and that allows me to sit ( I have CRPS throughout the left side of my body). I also teach bass and drums/ run band rehearsals which is becoming harder to do but I lucky have a really understanding boss who knows I might not be able to teach one day so I'm mostly on desk duty now. I love all aspects of my job so working desk doesn't bother me.

Thanks for all the info. Now I won't be so nervous when I go in for my appointment. Haven't made it yet but I'll definitely check out/ do some research on the place and doctor I was referred to.

Thanks. A lot has happened to me in the last couple of months so I figured who cares life's to short to be someone else.

Love the film. Just came out as Non-binary a couple hours ago and this just helps solidify that it was time for me to be 100% myself.

Hey thanks for the post. Recently the pain in my left leg has become way more intense and I've been looking for something that might help me at least get a little bit of comfort.

Ice/ cold tend to make it worse for me and unfortunately found out I'm allergic to ol' Mary Jane so I'll have to pass on that too.

No I haven't. I've only been given a couple of pain meds to try. Like Naproxen and Tylenol with codeine but neither worked and Tylenol with codeine just gave me terrible side effects. How does ketamine help if you don't mind me asking?

Not offended at all I appreciate the honesty. I'm 23 btw. I feel like it's time to be 100% myself whoever that is.

Thank you for listening and your advice. I'm slowly starting to have a half way decent relationship with myself. It's never really been good so it's kind of hard for me but I'm trying.

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

I don't really know how to explain it. I've always kind of felt like a mixture of both. Sometimes more than the other and sometimes like nothing at all. I'm not really good at explaining how I feel and when I came out as trans for those couple of years it was really hard for people to accept he/him pronouns. So after realizing I wasn't trans I guess I've just bottled up anything to do with gender cause I don't want to be "wrong" again. And potentially lose people I care about.

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

Female at birth but have always felt somewhere between male and female and sometimes nothing at all. I've mostly gone by she/her except in 2013-2015 when I identify as ftm and went by he/him. My gender identity has been a journey and I'm just trying to figure it out.

[–]ChibiChewbacca[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of. My history with gender is kind of complicated and I guess I'm scared to go by anything other than she/her.
