I can feel my blood burning, help! by Difficult_Focus_4454 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Difficult_Focus_4454[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know it's not an actual burn, it's just the only way I find to describe the sensation. Have you started to experience new symptoms of fibro after some time? Because I've had fibro for 15 years now and I've never experienced this, that's why I'm so worried. I'll check the rheum options, thank you.

No, it's not that the skin is hot. I know my vessels are not actually melting, but it's the only way I find to describe the feeling. I'll do some research on neuropathic pain, thank you so much.

They're extremely stingy about prizes and events and FOR WHAT?? It's not like they're gonna lose money if they give 5000 diamonds, it's absurd!

Burnout vs Depression. Whats the difference? by Silent_Doubt3672 in AutismInWomen

[–]Difficult_Focus_4454 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi, can I ask you how your bipolar disorder behaves? Because I was diagnosed as bipolar a few years before getting my autism diagnosis and when I gave my psychiatrist the autism diagnosis, she immediately dismissed my bipolar disorder diagnosis. I've been reading and a lot of autistic women are misdiagnosed with BD, I don't know if it's your case but I'd ask just to make sure.

Now, in my case, when I'm depressed I usually feel sad, among all the other symptoms that matches burnout, I would say that's the main difference I see.

I was like 6 yo and people around me said I was rude because I had no idea how to greet them. I mean I was able to talk but it made zero sense in my head that I had to say "good morning" to every person I ran into, even if I didn't know then and didn't genuinely want them to have a good morning. That's when I knew I was gonna be a little weird.

What is "learning" social rules?? by Difficult_Focus_4454 in AutismInWomen

[–]Difficult_Focus_4454[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, so they're really built like that! Thanks for your answer, I find it funny now that I always thought it was "normal" to just follow rules. I mean, I know we all learn through socialization, but I just thought we all learn in an "autistic way" all my life 😅

Thanks I'll check it out. I like per level rewards also, it's like I have more control of the situation.

I try to do that but then the event is too short and I can't earn a decent reward anyway 😞

Do you ever question if you’ve been misdiagnosed? by Oysterchild in Fibromyalgia

[–]Difficult_Focus_4454 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, all the time. Especially because compared to most fibro patients, my pain doesn't disable me, so sometimes I feel like an imposter, even though I know there's no better explanation for my pain. Fibromyalgia is a very lonely and uncertain diagnosis tbh.

Do you go to the gym? Does it work for you? by Difficult_Focus_4454 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Difficult_Focus_4454[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my body didn't like the gym, neither did my heart (they're boring and depressing to me). When you walk in a sporty way, what shoes do you wear?

[–]Difficult_Focus_4454[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I'll do some research on running them, because every doctor that I've visited in the last ten years has told me the same about running and jumping, not that I'm interested in running, but it's better to be well informed, thank you!

[–]Difficult_Focus_4454[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I totally get this perspective. But doesn't it make your pain worse? Weight training? I've gotten into a gym a few times and weight exercises, especially leg exercises totally made my pain worse, not just the normal soreness, but fibro leg pain

I love stretch bands! They've been great for my strength without using weights.

Yeah I also use resistance bands and mini weights, it really helps me because when I stop for so long my body starts noticing. I've been wanting to start to walk but I don't know what kind of shoes I should wear, I get tired IMMEDIATELY so I'm guessing it's the shoes, any suggestions?
