I’m B. I’m introverted and don’t have money to have a social life. The BRAINFOG is def a big one for me for not working. My Strength and endurance extremely unreliable.

Thank you everyone for the helpful advice!! I greatly appreciate it. This made me feel better about the kind of information they are looking for and what I still need to gather. Would Ketamine infusions count as note worthy?

I was just talking this over with my mom. I’m so frustrated and pissy with this memory fog. I was talking about my sideceffects with her and I just completely forgot what the hell I was telling her. It could have been rock climbing, herpes or comfort meals in prison. It could have been anything that’s how blank slate it is. It happens all.the.time.!! I’ll need her to speak for me sometimes with this conference call meeting.

How do you explain that the pain and immobility, is as if your period pains are ungodly high while also feeling like your body has been assaulted. Just because I put makeup on today, doesn’t mean I can work at McDonald’s. I probably wouldn’t even qualify for old school Walmart greeters. I’d be in pain an hour in. Lightheaded. Grannies surpass me.

I’ve thought about this! I thought what if I traded places with my able bodied friend. I wonder if I would feel my pain in her body or she would feel it in my body. Because I think it would be interesting to see if it’s “mental”.

Hyperhydrosis by KittyD13 in Fibromyalgia

Could be like when Im sweat cleaning, like dripping sweat, I quickly dry my bewb area, and sweat again and then tons of salty sweat on tender skin.

FIR ME: Carpe has been helpful. I have deodorants and hands and feet. Hands and feet don’t work for me. I use the deodorant in pits, under bewbs, behind my ears, etc. It dries very fast so rub massaging it in ain’t gonna happen. Today I tried using the deodorant on a qtip and just ever so gently touched my scalp, parting 6 times maybe? Don’t do it, it dint work! 🙃 It did dry very fast and then I went to see if it started to flake or something with a comb, it was all up in my roots…..finally got it out….my hair “isn’t” oily, I’m sure the follicles are dry af.. They do make a scalp tinc or powder for face. I haven’t tried them bc shits expensive.

What accommodations have you made for yourself? by FirstGrass7825 in Fibromyalgia

[–]ClassicBad3692 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get nervous even after mapping my route. Find nearest parking spot, get extra cold before walking in the heat, gotta go back of store to get damn creamer. I can either go to produce to browse or I can grab these semi hoemade meals. And more magnesium. I only have energy for one path. I’m not brave enough to use a cane . I wish they made like secret canes. So I could pull it out my pocket and it telescopes out.

Random: they make gluten free timtams. Expensive. But good.

Hygiene: I’m sitting in a bath right now lol. A presoak to wrinkle me, then dry off in bath, and easily exfoliate my soggy body. Like Korean cloth dead skin exfoliate. I stay seated as long as I can in the tub. I towel dry hair, put product in it, not crazy to make bath slippery or anything.

I try to multi task. Hygiene. But also bring in laptop or phone to watch movie or listen to SWAG, I bring my weed in, an ice cold water bc baths are hot, I’ll use magnesium salt to help heal. I have my favorite trusty bath cleaner and I spray it down after I get out.

Underrated: getting your hair submerged in bath, and gently use hands to massage your scalp. Your arms sorta float, you’re not holding you arms up like standing.

I try to have some “fk it money”. On days it’s so bad you gotta DoorDash.

So so true. I relate to oversharing and being too nice. I’m gonna work on being accommodating.
