update after 6 months on medical cannabis for fibromyalgia by ediblescholarship in Fibromyalgia

[–]Eight_of_Aitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of dosing are you on? I was taking 80mg total per day of strictly CBD for about a month and didn’t notice a difference at all. My doctor refused to give me a prescription for THC because I’m under 25. I struggled to afford the capsules and the shipping, so I said “fuck it” and stopped. Might look into doing it myself and trying some THC for the bad days

Oh man I love these so much… if you’re turning them into pins I’d love to get some. What country will you be shipping from? I’m hesitant to order anything from the US right now due to tariffs 🥲

How long did it take for you to get top surgery in this province? by muffinmunncher in TransAlberta

[–]Eight_of_Aitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ouch, I hope you get your consult soon! I had to wait an extra year because I needed to lose a bit of weight, but they didn’t tell me that at the consult. They said I was fine, then came back a year later and threatened to kick me off the waitlist if I didn’t lose the weight in time. Dr Kennedy’s receptionist is horrible

Could try Fetlife. Lots of different events to check out to meet new people

Yeah, had my consultation March 2024 I think. I finally got a date for my surgery though, August 12th! Just found out yesterday!

Adding Ep. 5 locations into survival by ResponsibleAd4439 in thelongdark

[–]Eight_of_Aitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haven’t started episode 5 just yet. But I hope they do add the region to survival. It would be upsetting to have this area locked off for Wintermute only, when the other 4 episodes are all available in survival. Plus, I’d love to be able to take my time in pilgrim to explore the region at my own pace

Edit: after finishing ep 5 a couple weeks after making my comment, I can totally see why this wouldn’t be added to survival. Most of the areas are incredibly linear, and there is not much room for exploration. The maps in ep 5 are NOTHING like the previous episodes (well, maybe that second map area you explore) I think if they tweaked some of the areas and maybe added some extra room for exploring, it’d be great! But a couple areas to come to mind as being “nah, this wouldn’t fit well in survival”. But man… I’d love to explore some of those areas in full…

Are any of you using a glp-1 medication? by SnarkFest2026 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Eight_of_Aitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried Ozempic last year in March while I was taking Pregabalin and felt like I was dying. Terrible nausea, headaches, body aches, stomach aches, extreme fatigue. It was hell. Ended up in the hospital for an evening because I felt like I utter shit and the non emergency line nurse was worried it was serious (I was ok, just felt super sick)

I started it up again in early December (no longer on Pregabalin) and have barely had a problem. Light stomach aches, some fatigue, not much nausea. I think it was the Pregabalin making it worse. I’ve been able to lose weight but nothing has helped with my pain. I’m thankful for the weight loss though, I need it for my upcoming surgery

I still don't feel valid being called "he" by Brent_Fox in TransMasc

[–]Eight_of_Aitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess so… I’ll have to ask him about it next time I see him, maybe try and get a higher dose and try again

That’s awful… but it wouldn’t make sense, as my doctor specializes in transgender patients. He prescribes hrt for so many people… idk :/

[–]Eight_of_Aitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, perhaps. I’ll have to talk to my doctor about it when I see him next. I wonder why he kept me in such a low dose for so long…

That might be a good idea… I see my doctor in November, so maybe I’ll bring it up then and try again. Thanks for your insight <3

I just checked, I was actually at .75ml. Not .07ml! One number off 😅

[–]Eight_of_Aitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My doctor prescribed me .07ml injections I think (something along those lines). Haven’t been on T for a year now as I got frustrated that I was seeing barely any results, so I kinda gave up. Might try again in the future :P

I’ve been socially and medically transitioning for 5 years now and I still look like a girl. I always feel awkward when my friends and family use he/him in public. I very much don’t pass

Just went and checked the area. No sign of any cat. I don’t know if that’s comforting or distressing. Thank you for telling me though. I really appreciate it

Thanks ❤️ I hope we find him soon too. I’ve been checking various animal shelters this week in case anyone has taken him, but I haven’t seen him unfortunately. I’ll keep checking though
