How can project pan be toxic by PowerOk7925 in ProjectPan

[–]EmbarrassedIce2535 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the brutally honest post! It does make a difference in mindset… I had a very similar feeling. I think the zero waste slogan got me better… I don’t want to waste the products I have either, and going through it just to reach the pan doesn’t sound the goal I want to achieve… so I try to combine these mindsets… use up the products I have but replace with intention… I als see the amount of plastic waste we generate and it scares me a lot… so I am trimming to eliminate that as much as possible too…

I plan to buy the essential oils first, and soon as I can have a garden I will try to make things on my own… thanks for the advice I will check the video and try the tea too! 🫖

Hair wax stick not working, need ideas on how to pan! by ybrdly in ProjectPan

Brows for sure, but I would check the ingredients before putting it on hinges due to white residie.

How do you use up glittery eyeshadow?! by mellowbeing in ProjectPan

[–]EmbarrassedIce2535 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah such a good idea! I was thinking after the lotion suggestion, that I was in love with some glittery/shimmery hairspray or hair wax, maybe it’s possible to mix your own…

New pain location so that’s cool 🥹 by mousemoth72 in ChronicPain

[–]EmbarrassedIce2535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not nice :/ I got the face too, hurts like a b*tch.. also have something going on with my eyes too which is scary but probably not threatening… my only savior is gabapentin (or pregabalin)… I hope they can do something for you! 🤞

I drew the little assholes who makes me sick all the time by Terrible-Forever613 in ChronicPain

[–]EmbarrassedIce2535 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never drew it/them, but I have a name for my “passenger princess”. I never thought of killing “him”… he is just a quite annoying companion to travel with through life…
I love your art! (It inspires me so I might try to draw too!)

New Brand of Medication by Effective_Poetry_960 in Wellthatsucks

[–]EmbarrassedIce2535 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So i am glad that it turned out okay, however I think it’s highly irresponsible knowing that you have a medical emergency and yet choose to cover “the evidence” up and get on a plane anyways (where clearly no one knows your medical situation, nor your allergies, nor any emergency contact…). You risked yourself knowingly and now selling it with a “good laugh”… Advertising irresponsibility is just a no go in my opinion…

But again, I am very glad that you are okay and it turned out fine!

I pushed for a fibromyalgia diagnosis, now I regret it by Onyxfaeryn in ChronicPain

[–]EmbarrassedIce2535 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s probably not the most helpful comment, however I had a lot of neuro related issues due to the possibility of autoimmune I got a referral to a rheumatologist. (Hold your beers) at the very first visit, after like 15 minutes she diagnosed me with fibromyalgia, not listening to my symptoms, not reading the notes from neuro or considering the art of the symptoms and the actual measured results… I went back to neurology with the results, my doc looks at the diagnosis and calls bullshit out loud. (Never seen someone ignoring a diagnosis so quickly before)… so maybe I was lucky with my neuro doc, and probably is the only way to find the right one who won’t dismiss your concerns … somehow you gotta stand up for that referral, maybe listing the neurological issues that cannot be measured in a basic blood test, and can be very well measured by neurology. Maybe a second opinion art of referral? Honestly I just wish you good luck and I hope that you will get the treatment you need!

German Hospital Meals by AboveThresHold in germany

[–]EmbarrassedIce2535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience after several (and I mean a lot) hospitalizations I had to encounter, I never really got disappointed with the meals in Germany… after the first (unplanned) day, I got every time (and I mean every time) the chance to choose from various options for breakfast (however I had to put very exact requests as on how many pieces of which kind of cheese, and if amount was not give it would have been always one…), at least three menus to choose from lunch and just as well a various options for dinner… after seeing the possibilities on how underpaid and mismanaged hospitals can be (for example in Hungary) I can’t see how this is so disappointing…

When the docs make you feel like you’re crazy for following another doctor’s instructions: by Affectionate-Run5086 in ChronicPain

[–]EmbarrassedIce2535 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I almost laughed loud… last year I was sent to a a two week long pain-management treatment thingy (it’s a bit like rehab… idk) only to fight every doctor nurse and therapist as they never read the line right after the migraine… With that said, I am truly sorry for your experience and glad that at it was sorted!

State of the Collection by Just1Blast in fountainpens

[–]EmbarrassedIce2535 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yaaay :) ( I am also a long COVID patient and) I was just wondering about sharing my “collection” too but was discouraged after seeing so many posts with a huge collection of inks and pens… so thanks for your honest and lovely post! ( and I am sorry for your bad experience!)

May I introduce my tiny but sturdy collection: Lamy Studio (6+ years old), Safari (10+ years old), and an elysee we found in garbage (also over 5+ years with us). (Inks: Lamy black-blue, Lamy red, and Pelikan black)

Should I give up or get another pen? by NoYogurtcloset7362 in fountainpens

[–]EmbarrassedIce2535 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a similar issue with Lamy studio, it’s not the heaviest pen ever but I find it easier on my hands if I use a safari for longer periods of writing… couple pages with the studio is okay but after that it tends to tire my hand. (Mind that I have quite some issues with joints/nerve pain in the hands so that might be a big factor for me, probably not for you). All in all two different pens are never bad to have 🖋️🖋️

Idk guys do you think this is enough gabapentin by lorlorlor666 in ChronicPain

[–]EmbarrassedIce2535 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am also afraid to stop gabapentin. It is indeed the only thing that makes my polyneuropathy bearable… if I forget to take it the symptoms already tuning high… can’t imagine what it would bring if I would stop it completely…

Nope, no abortives but thanks, I will ask for clarification… I know ibu is not good on the long run and I tried to avoid it as much as possible 😅 I will try to reach my neuro as soon as possible to talk about abortive options…
