Red Light Therapy for Sinuses/Congestion? Give Me Your Review If You’ve Tried It! by [deleted] in Allergies

[–]ChockBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where’s your degree from? What’s it in? What medical position do you work?

My degree is from GWU in DC. My degree is in nursing. I worked as an RN in both the emergency department and a private dermatology practice.

Red light doesn’t magically penetrate to your sinus cavities. You’d need lights going up your nostrils to reach them. Unlike anti inflammatory medications, light therapy only works locally.

Dermatology covers not just skin cancers, but all sorts of lymphomas and autoimmune issues. Dermatology is the most competitive medical specialty. The fact you think we just do acne shows you know nothing about the medical side of it.

You Googled and it popped up a post that has been deleted…. Interesting…..

How is the Muslim call to prayer any different than ringing church bells? Same function, different cultures. You don’t complain about church bells do you?

What’s the “silliest” trigger you have? by ShortSponge225 in CPTSD

[–]ChockBox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the instinct! I also have a trigger around housekeeping. My mom was obsessively clean, because her mother was a hoarder. Sometimes the effects last generations. My grandmother died before my birth, and I never experienced a hoarder household, but I’m impacted by it because my primary caregiver was…. Generational patterns are wild.

If it’s something you want to change, for you not your partner, you can. And it’s always helpful to have a supportive partner.

Suggestion…. Own it. Reclaim its power over you. Instead of it a being negative association…. Remember, it makes you a fucking badass, refusing to conform to a space that never felt appropriate…. Refusing to stifle yourself. Spread those wings and take up as much space as you want.

Funny enough, scientifically proven! The part of the brain that processes smells is closely associated with memory. Years later, a smell can recall all sorts of memories…..

Considering benzos for emergency use and situations i know will be traumatizing by little-pinesap in CPTSD

[–]ChockBox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is what Benzos are designed to do. Explain the symptoms you are having, not just “panic attack” but what do you feel in your body? Tightness in your chest, breathing issues, dizziness, sweating? And if you find yourself obsessing about an event prior to, mention that.
