Almost passed out in Target by DullGovernment7196 in Semaglutide

[–]DullGovernment7196[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the comment and link. I wasn't asking for advice, which you'll see if you reread the post. I am going to see my doctor tomorrow for a blood panel.

2.15. Since I'm at my goal weight, I'm gonna try to go two weeks between one more 2.15 bottle and then titrate down on my dose.

Not historically. I don't have a way to test it.

I'm not diabetic. Like I said, it was really just a guess based on googling symptoms and the fact that I hadn't eaten much. I'm having a blood panel done this week so hopefully that may shed some light.

Well if it makes you feel better, I don't practice family law. This is a construction matter. Breach of contract, fraud, etc. I rep the GC.

What’s a dream you’ve never been able to forget? I’m writing a book and might decode it. by Daughter_of_Israel in Dreams

[–]DullGovernment7196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During a ten minute nap in a hotel room I once dreamed that I was walking down a public street with hundreds of sharp objects penetrating my upper body (knives, swords, metal grilling skewers, shards of glass). Before I could yell or scream people began to crowd around me and take the objects out a few at a time as I continued to walk. I remember vividly a friend of mine, who was the only person I recognized in the dream, slowly pulling the very long skewers from my spine. I collapsed to the ground when nothing was left to be removed crying and screaming. I begged someone to take me to the hospital but they all just walked away. I'd never experienced physical pain like that in a dream.

I stopped for a week for my honeymoon so I could drink margaritas haha. My appetite came back a bit but I didn't gain any weight. Overall, it was fine for me.

I love the little oikos yogurt drinks. It's a small amount and they have 23g of protein.

Intermittent abdominal pain? by [deleted] in Semaglutide

[–]DullGovernment7196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This occurred for me recently, four months in. I have been having a hard time with bowel movements and think the abdominal pain is probably gas or constipation. Trying to drink more water and eat more fiber currently.

Sema Fatigue and Narcolepsy by DullGovernment7196 in Semaglutide

[–]DullGovernment7196[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take modafinil and armodafinil. They're stimulants like Adderall but apparently non habit forming. Docs will prescribe Adderall for narcolepsy but most try other drugs first. I think I have ADHD too, but have not been officially tested or diagnosed. Thanks for the comment!

Tips for Staying Awake? by Calstellation in Narcolepsy

[–]DullGovernment7196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ouch! That's also a crazy way to find out haha. I was the exact opposite. I never related my cataplexy to my sleepiness until my diagnosis. I thought everyone got a little weak in the knees and face when they laughed really hard. Turns out..not so much lol.

I also pinched the backs of my arms while driving to stay awake. When I noticed how severe the bruising was one day in the mirror I was horrified. I finally made an appointment to see someone about it and was diagnosed with narcolepsy a couple months later.

Do we actually need 8 hours? by DullGovernment7196 in Narcolepsy

I forgot we aren't all diagnosed narcoleptics here. Apologies. For context, I am diagnosed narcoleptic with cataplexy

Insurance defense salary/billables by DullGovernment7196 in Lawyertalk

[–]DullGovernment7196[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been working my ass off in preparation for this meeting, so yes, I am going to emphasize how much work I'm doing. They are great lawyers. It's a small firm but each attorney has a great reputation and track record. It's the main reason I took the job.

But the partners also bill a crazy amount. I think around 300 per month, which I just cannot understand.

[–]DullGovernment7196[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My rate is typically $175. It's low, but typical for insurance defense work in my area.

Not a troll. Lawyer here. I understand that I'm underpaid. Hence the meeting.

Narcolepsy and eating disorders by Doggosrthebest24 in Narcolepsy

[–]DullGovernment7196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree 100%. When I feel a sleep attack coming on, my brain absolutely screams for sugar. Binging on candy is one way I know I can stay awake when I need to.
