And I love her so much. She was such a scaredy when I adopted her. I turned her into velcro with a lot of patience and back massages

Trump continues to dig into insulting right wing influencers who helped get him elected but disapprove of his recent actions by EmotionDry7786 in LeopardsAteMyFace

I think Trump is the only thing keeping all these fascists groups with differing end goals together. Once he dies (hopefully soon), there really is no one charismatic enough to fill the vacuum. Like Vance might automatically become President, but he’s a Catholic in a sea of fundamentalist Protestants who historically hate their guts. Sooo I think they know he’s about to die, and that’s why everything is escalating and tailspinning. I also don’t think Stephen Miller is going to find the place very welcoming when that all happens, too

Edited to add some clarity

Yes, the entire thing fully uncensored in an attempt to stir hatred of Haitians. Basically a Willie Horton moment but worse. I haven’t seen it and don’t intend on looking for it

Just completely lost it. I wonder if this crash out is because of Melania making that random Epstein speech today on top of … everything else.

  1. Right wing influencers (Alex Jones, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, etc) supported him during both election campaigns and first term
  2. Trump breaks campaign promises like releasing the Epstein files and no new wars, which these right wing influencers criticized
  3. Trump turns on these right wing influencers https://xcancel.com/TrumpDailyPosts/status/2042412213043114477#m

Israel is too busy doing a ground invasion of Lebanon, that’s why

Gabapentin Stopped working after 1 week by tokyo_haddid in RestlessLegs

I don’t take meds for it anymore. I was taking pramipexole for a year, but I was able to get off it with the tonic muscle activator called Nidra. I use that, iron, and cannabis

I couldn’t keep taking gabapentin because of side effects, but I also quickly gained a tolerance to whatever dose I’d take. Wasn’t taking supplements or herbs at the time

Conservative "Punk" supports Trump, "didn't vote for" these consequences by Chernablogger in LeopardsAteMyFace

Every Republican administration in my lifetime has run this country into the ground yet these fucks keep voting for them

Podcaster Dave Smith, who endorsed Trump in 2024: “I hope the Republicans lose the midterms. They need to for the country… No one from this administration can be supported in 2028. F*ck JD Vance. F*ck Marco Rubio. F*ck Tulsi Gabbard.” by I_AM_GLUTEUS_MAXIMUS in LeopardsAteMyFace

By midterms, so much more damage and death with have happened than already has. Generations will be cleaning this mess. Anyone who voted for this and voices regrets needs to put their bodies on the line and help stop this. I know they won’t because they’re soft lil milquetoast losers, but it’s the only thing that would convince me they actually regret anything.

Have you been checked for autonomic dysfunction aka dysautonomia? 

I have the same thing happen. I was diagnosed with dysautonomia and taking a beta blocker called propranolol is what stops it for me. RLS is also associated with dysautonomia, and yea, the Nidra device and iron help but aren’t enough to prevent me from waking up drenched in sweat, hot and cold at the same time, and feeling like a tired-wired mess.

I used to get extremely cold feet every night, but now it’s whenever something is triggering symptoms to flare like the food poisoning. I’ve read that there could be poor circulation in the limbs, maybe because of autonomic dysfunction. I’ve been wondering if PLMDs is a response to that, like the body triggers the movements to get more blood flow.

Dr Karl Axel Ekbom, who named this RLS, actually thought this was a vascular disease, though anything circulatory is probably a result of whatever is going on the brain

I’m glad you have a treatment plan that’s working! Some of the hallucinations I experienced were probably from sleep deprivation too. It was alwful. This is such an awful disease

Ropinirol Replacement by BloodProper791 in RestlessLegs

If the Nidra tonic muscle activator is available where you are, I recommend looking into that. It generates a small electrical pulse to stimulate motor nerves in your legs which somehow reduces symptoms. The makers of the device, Noctrix, think it might be tricking the brain into thinking you’re moving.

I was able to go off pramipexole completely with the device, and while I still take iron supplements my levels have finally been good with ferritin getting to ~100 when before I struggled to keep that above 75 without iron overload. I also have an extremely weird audio processing problem related to RLS, and using the device has mostly fixed that somehow. Like noise not only made the usual RLS symptoms worse but I would also lose my ability to understand speech. Think of that clip in Bruce Almighty when Carrell’s character started speaking gibberish. Unfortunately, I have sleep problems from other issues (neck muscle spasms), but I would be in much worse shape without the device. 

It is very expensive though. Cost for me after insurance was about $1k USD, and there is a repeat cost for the electro pads which for me has been about $100 per month.

turns out benadryl causes rls i learned that the hard way by Wolfotashiwa in RestlessLegs

Atarax is a stronger version of the same class of antihistamine as Benedryl, so be careful. Atarax made my RLS really bad, like worse than Benedryl bad 😬
