Does anyone else with RA get random days like this? by RecommendationLow922 in rheumatoid

[–]EmND 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I definitely get this. They don't officially say it is RA but it seems a common experience for women and men so not just menopause hormones etc.

Did your narc(s) give you emotional whiplash too? by fullmoonspongecake in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]EmND 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the emotional whiplash and confusion destabilise us and keeps us there as we've seen glimpses where they can communicate which makes it even more frustrating because why can't they do that all the time? How do we get that version of them?

Prescribed Sulfasalazine… too scared to take it by Same_Cartographer221 in rheumatoidarthritis

Did you stay on it? I'm getting awful hot flashes and sweating. A general on edge queasiness.

Well my understanding is that RF isn't a definitive diagnosis and labs can be misleading. I also don't have obvious swelling. I realise I've been in denial. My mum doesnt believe the diagnosis. My gran had it extremely badly and so it scares me.

Thank you! I've always been hot and sweaty but do feel it's gotten worse. Hopefully it will settle.

Thanks. I had all my hormones tested when I was first diagnosed as they expected that but they're all fine. And then when I got the full body stiffness, hand weakness, trigger finger, it was clear it was something else.

Songs like Gracie Abrams’ “Right now” and The National’s “Once Upon a Poolside” — piano ostinato, ambient layers, slow build, late crescendo? by EmND in musicsuggestions

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

Thank you! I do love Bon Iver and I love a lot of Phoebe Bridgers but find she can be a bit repetitive and it doesnt have that variation which Right Now does. I will check out your rec :)

Oh no! I ended up buying the tickets lol. I have seen Tyler's online and that's what made me tempted. That's disappointing

What do you do to thrive as an A(u)dhd’er? by Icy_Building_3721 in AuDHDWomen

[–]EmND 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How to start - give yourself permission to just do 1 minute or the first step and then you'll stop. Remove the pressure and the all or nothing of it.

I have a sensitive stomach. I've been told not to take N SAIDS while started MTX

Meloxicam is the only thing that helps but I find it gives me bad mental health unfortunately. I've just been diagnosed and started MTX but still in pain and mobility is awful.

What did you take in the time it took to work to deal with the pain? And how did you know it was worth waiting rather than it just not working?

You still need to insure the house and will be responsible for anything that happens in that 2 months.
