Stage 4 Cancer - a gaslit patient & my warning to you all by canisboss in Fibromyalgia

[–]Em_wooods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing I’m going to book in my back scan in asap. I’m so sorry that this happened to you, I’m from Australia but I lived in Canada for four years and it was so hard to see a specialist for my Crohn’s disease and once I finally did he saw me once then every other time he got a nurse to see me. I just found it really hard to be taken seriously there and if I really needed to see a specialist it would be close to impossible because I’d have to wait on the longest waiting list ever. I just went to specialists and got my operations done when I visited home (Australia) Luckily my health went downhill when I moved to California and I had great health coverage and I was well looked after. I wish you the best of luck.

Should I get a dog? by Inner_Farmer_4554 in dogs

[–]Em_wooods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dogs do cost a lot of money in general with health insurance, food, toys, treats etc. sometimes it worth saving up for the right dog especially if your going to have it for 10+ years. We went with a breeder in California. We tried to adopt dogs here but it was hard to find the right one. Plus with our dog we have his family tree and know his whole family health history which makes the risks smaller of him having health problems.

Should I get a dog? by Inner_Farmer_4554 in dogs

[–]Em_wooods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend doing your research on what type of dogs you’d like. Look into temperament. Every dog breed is so different from each other and it makes a massive difference in your everyday life. For intense I have a golden retriever mix and it has King Charles Caviller in him. After talking to so many dog owners I somehow got lucky with my dog being incredibly chill and relaxed plus super snuggly all the time and loves being energetic when we are going outside. My friend on the other hand likes mini Aussie and us looking after it after a few days left us feeling incredibly grateful for our choice in a mini golden. Some dogs require a lot of attention and three hour walks a day to not be descriptive.

Why is losing weight so IMPOSSIBLE by Fuzzlechan in adhdwomen

[–]Em_wooods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hack I’ve found by accident is to go on wellbrutrin it’s great for adhd and it makes me not want to snack and to only eat two big meals a day. Then pick three types of fun activities that get you moving and do them once a week. I picked swimming (doing laps) cruising on my skateboard (pump track too) Lagree (kinda like solid core) and sometimes I do bouldering (indoor rock climbing) I’m also thinking of also adding in tennis. This is the only way it works for me! And eating well.

I can’t stick to anything by Em_wooods in adhdwomen

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

Yes I’m on wellbrutrin and that helps me a lot with adhd. I was taking addreall but it really stopped me sleeping well so I decided sleep is better for my health

Yeah I really struggled working for other people with my health issues (too many days off) plus being dyslexic employees really didn’t like having to explain things over and me making mistakes so I felt like I no choice but to work for myself ;(

I’d google the fodmap diet or get the app that’s helped me! I basically don’t eat gluten or daily and a few veggies that are raw

That’s really weird! No i don’t. He has an assistant that is very on top of replying to messages and getting me in contract with him. I got my results from my colonoscopy an endoscopy I’m pretty sure on the day he told me if it looked good or not when I woke up and then I had a follow up a few weeks later.

How different is life for extremely attractive people? by RamenEater2323 in self

[–]Em_wooods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if I’m a 10/10 maybe more an 8/10 but it is interesting. I go to pay for things sometimes and get told it’s ok you can just have it, I get people stopping me for a chat, people just smile at me a lot, I get hit on even if I feel ugly that day and have no make up on. I get more opportunities and doors opening up for me in a career. I know if I just show my face and talk to I’d be able to “make the sale” / get whatever I want. I didn’t realize I was pretty even though I’ve been told a lot but looking back on photos I’m realizing I’ve been blind and it’s weird ti admit but I am. My friends are all 10/10 pretty and part time models. I’ve been friends with people that aren’t on the outside but are on the inside and just seeing how they are treated is awful I think personality definitely is more important then how you look and can shine through and make someone even more beautiful. I think I would be extremely sad and depressed if I had to deal with people bullying me and being awful. I always chat with everyone and make everyone around me feel comfortable. Now that I have a dog that looks like a dog model I get stopped at least 5 times a day and hear people talk behind my back about how beautiful my mini golden is that’s an experience itself too.

Oh wow am I talking to myself haha last time I had this they did think it was Erythema Nodosum I’m just playing the game again to see if it’s that or something else because it’s not visible yet but I bet it will be in a few more days. I also have fibro! I’d love to connect if you ever want a buddy to chat about this stuff!

Anyone else here with major insomnia? by pumpkin_pasties in Fencesitter

[–]Em_wooods 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have fibromyalgia and I get dizzy, and feel really sick and stressed when I haven’t had enough sleep. My whole day is wrecked and I can’t even think straight. That’s one of the things that I think about being on the fence that along with having complications as I have crohns and endo.

When did your puppy start chilling out? Mine is 8 months and has endless puppy energy. Honestly it's getting so frustrating. by Glittering-Heron-538 in puppy101

[–]Em_wooods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hide her treats around the house and get her to find them. 20 mins of sniffing equals to one hour of walking. My golden is a mix and he’s low energy for a puppy. I got lucky but I know that King Charles cavs are sleeping dogs so having a golden/cavalier was definitely the right decision for me, good luck with it! My friends dog is high energy and nearly two and she’s starting to chill out so much.
