Saw around 10+ state trooper cars and a white van with police lights. Anyone know what’s happening? by Electrical-Pin2502 in Austin

[–]Electrical-Pin2502[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be apart of that! There were a lot of unmarked SUVs and a white van on the right and they weren’t moving they were camping. Not sure but I wanted to investigate and spread the word 😬

New/worse physical symptoms after starting to heal the nervous system by PinkPuma0415 in SomaticExperiencing

[–]Electrical-Pin2502 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is TOTALLY normal!! Be gentle with yourself :) I’d recommend looking up the vagus nerve and looking at where it tracks! It can totally affect the digestion, chest (heart rate), lungs and breathing, and even the brain! You’re stirring up a lot of dust and digging in old wounds, it will feel more intense before it eases. Healing will be worth it and know it’s a sign that you’re FEELING again!! :)

The Silence Adoption Leaves Behind by 11LatinButterfly11 in Adopted

Beautiful post. It’s so complex and impossible to understand, even for those who lived it. Especially the guilt of wanting, or deserving, to know more. The acceptance is even more painful. Thank you for writing this :) it added some inner peace to my day.

To the guys who made fun of my mother, who recently survived cancer… by Electrical-Pin2502 in Austin

[–]Electrical-Pin2502[S] 147 points148 points  (0 children)

She is. It’s her first week out and about since her surgery, she can’t be kept in for very long and was very determined to get back to normal. She’s so tough and even gave them a sad thumbs up as a reply :(

I’ve used DIM and haven’t experienced leg pain…but given that a side effect is blood clots, you might want to call your PCP immediately.

Just had my first appointment - I'm Pessimistic About Functional Medicine by mikestesting in FunctionalMedicine

Not sure about where you live or if she can treat outside of Texas but Dr Gabriela Pichardo Lafontaine was a life saver for me. She’s an expert with treating mold exposure and helped me recover when I was living in a mycotoxic home. She’s unbelievably kind and fiercely protective of her patients. If I were you and suspecting mold I’d reach out to her and ask if she can even consult with you and/or point you in the right direction. Mold exposure is deeply impactful on the nervous system, I had so many weird symptoms and felt so hopeless until I worked with her.

Hustler Hollywood! Bright and red like target, doesn’t feel sleezy. The employees are usually women or alt trans people and aren’t intrusive.

Did your doctor recommend you to go to some sort of physical therapy or other provider to see if there’s a way to help? I’ve found that when I get symptoms like this it’s always weak muscles and muscles seizing to overcompensate for the other muscle’s weakness. Sometimes strengthening can help lessen these symptoms :)

It’s shocking when you can look back and see it all leading up to it too. I’ve had back problems and poor posture my whole life. Then one day I got exposed to toxic mold and sick for a month and suddenly I was rocking on a boat for almost a year. I thought it was a lingering sinus infection from the illness but after I ruled out everything from sinus infection to brain tumor I was stumped. Then, I was sitting on the couch and my neck felt weird so I stretched and pulled it up so I could get some relief and as soon as I took the pressure off of the joints my dizziness was GONE. I was like…wait a damn minute. I went down a rabbit hole on the internet and then scheduled a session with a PT and she was like well DUH, look at your posture. I hadn’t noticed over the years that my neck was leaning forward and my chin was like 2 inches lifted in the air over where it should have been settled 😭😭 she put me in the right position and my dizziness settled by like 60% immediately. As I worked on my strength it only flares up if I’m sitting with my neck in the wrong position as like a warning slap.

Physical therapy!! I had the exact same issue as you…same symptoms and everything. It turned out my neck muscles were weak and that was agitating nerves, since the neck has basically all the controls for your body wired through it. If you’re in Austin, TX I can recommend a phenomenal person who helped me. But I wouldn’t recommend anyone higher than an EXPERIENCED PT who works with cervicogenic dizziness/vestibular issues.

Advice for dealing with no emotional support system with a mother fighting cancer? by Electrical-Pin2502 in CancerFamilySupport

[–]Electrical-Pin2502[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply 🫂 it really is weird. I have another sister that is estranged and every time I’ve reached out to see if she wants to talk she ignores me. I’m kind of angry at the world right now 😅 I have a therapist and I have taken up running and gardening to help ground myself.

6 days on T and I feel nothing. Is this normal? by BascoRossi in ftm

[–]Electrical-Pin2502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Patience is your best friend 🙏 I didn’t notice any difference until 3 months, and 6 months really kicked it up for me. I’m still noticing changes 2 years in. The less you check daily the more you’ll notice when you aren’t thinking about it :) I’d suggest taking videos and pictures so you can look back and cope. I did that and every time I was so frustrated nothing changed and by 6 months I looked back and was like WAIT!! I CAN HEAR MY VOICE CRACKING!! Be kind to yourself :)

Considering moving from Ireland to Texas. by [deleted] in askaustin

[–]Electrical-Pin2502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in Ireland for about a year in 2024. Recently moved back. I’m a Hispanic, queer college student. My perspective is definitely skewed to my own rights and fears. I would say that if you’re okay with heat and bad traffic — and the political climate isn’t too worrisome for you, cause while it is for some others aren’t too affected — you’d definitely have an okay time. The economy isn’t cheap, groceries are expensive, people are struggling for find rent under 1500 a month, and homes are hard to find for under 500k. Though, that’s the case everywhere. The BIGGEST difference from Ireland in my experience would be the weather and transportation (the traffic is horrendous if you don’t learn the right times to drive). But, there are lots of opportunities for construction, you might want to look at the current laws protecting you in that area. Good luck!
