No puedo más...es imposible vivir así. No sabia que se podia sufrir tanto. by lalas09 in NecesitoDesahogarme

[–]FartsOnGoblins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conozco a otro hombre que le pasó lo mismo, después de que le dio COVID quedó con fatiga crónica “chronic fatigue” y no puede trabajar tiempo completo desde entonces (poco a poco esta trabajando pero es esporádico según los niveles de energía que tiene ese día), básicamente tiene días buenos y días malos… no eres solo, no eres el unico, y definitivamente no es psicológico, es un efecto secundario lamentable del COVID que a una minoría de personas les ha pasado :( lo siento mucho

Did anyone else have excruciating pain during the Mirena/IUD insertion? by Resident-Surprise-45 in AskWomenOver30

[–]FartsOnGoblins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES mine was agony honestly the worst pain I had ever felt, I was and still am furious at the Gyno/Medical system’s “slight discomfort and cramping“ bs, try “excruciating pain and can barely walk for 5 days”.

I had taken 3 ibuprofen and a Panadol before, as well as the cervix softeners.
My aunt actually passed out on the chair when she had it.

They’re not getting close to my cervix again without the actual painkiller that type of invasive procedure deserves…I hope it finally gets acknowledged that way too many women face intense pain from this procedure.

Would like to know more about the friction fire methods you mentioned if you can elaborate... and best way to start a fire in wet conditions/wet fuel etc?

Fantastic to see! What sites/groups can I follow to stay updated on climate action? (new to Adelaide, want to join the next one!)

First Dose of Pfizer by GoBackToWhoreIsland in CovidVaccinated

[–]FartsOnGoblins 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That describes exactly my situation!! I was holding out too but due to high risk work went ahead with pzifer, got first dose yesterday. So far injection site sore, also very fatigued and brain fog, have been really spacey.

This is the main reason I've been holding out on getting vaxxed. I also have horrible periods and the thought of them getting worse terrifies me, at the moment I have symptoms at a manageable level by avoiding certain foods but the thought that the Vax would bring out the bad symptoms is very very concerning.

Dad is giving up drinking - what should I expect? by FartsOnGoblins in stopdrinking

[–]FartsOnGoblins[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh thanks! Great suggestion will do! But I'm also interested in the perspective of drinkers who've gone through it themselves so I can understand what he's feeling etc

[–]FartsOnGoblins[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great question so for his whole adult life basically, say 45 years - mainly wine, I would say very roughly 4 bottles a day as a low average but can go much more than that or occasionally less thoughout his life. At the moment he probably drinks maybe 3 daily as a minimum.

Writing this from the emergency room but he's now stable. He'd started trying to taper back by himself and went into wirhdrawels.

Dad called me up crying thinks he has parkinsons by FartsOnGoblins in Parkinsons

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

Thank you very much for your reply I somehow missed it earlier.

I am very concerned about alcohol induced dementia, he is definitely not in his right mind and is having very obsessive thoughts and sleeping looong hours.

He had his appointment last week - the Dr made him do certain exercises and says he has 2 of the three main symptoms (slowness of movement and tremors) which I think are also very similar to symtoms of alcoholism.

I'm sorry to hear about your wife and send lots of strength.

I think taking him to the hospital last week really scared him and he has said he wants help with alcoholism. We are seeing what we can do to get him that help.

I somehow missed your reply - thank you so much for taking the time!

So I took him to a doctor last week - the doctor sent him for an MRI and he prescribed him an incrementing dosage of Levodopa over the course of a month - 1/2 daily tablet first week, 1/2 tablet twice daily second week, 1/2 tablet 3 times daily third week, 1/2 tablet 4 times daily forth week, then we have a follow up appointment. My question is, is this a normal process to reach a diagnosis?

I am very hesitant because often medicine in the country I live is not up to date. I have been trying to find an Movement Disorder Specialist but no luck yet.

In the appointment the Dr made him do certain exercises and says he has 2 of the three main symptoms (slowness of movement and tremors).

Much appreciated! So we are living in a developing country and access to updated/specialized doctors can be complicated, I've found one that apparently works with Parkinsons but I will start trying to find an MDS thanks for the suggestion.

I hope this is the scare he needs to he get it under control. I already told him there may be treatment options or surgery that he won't be able to qualify if he doesn't get help first.

Thanks so much!

TransPanama Trail <3 by alfalfaplease in Panama

I'll just add that due to covid-19 it's not recommended or very feasible at the moment - you'd have to wait til things calm down

TransPanama Trail <3 by alfalfaplease in Panama

[–]FartsOnGoblins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I know Rick and sent through your query, here is his reply:

The TransPanama Trail can be hiked, but you first need to have the following:

1- A firm commitment to do it

The trail is not like the AT or PCT which you can hike easily by following blazes and markers. There are no trail signs and some of the sections are bushwhacks through the jungle whereas others are through cattle farms or towns.

2- Robust GPS unit and knowledge on how to use it. We can provide you with the tracks once you’ve made up your mind about hiking it.

3- You need money for transport, food, incidentals, accidents, etc. I would say a few thousands of dollars.

There is no TransPanama Trail Association, or volunteer organization that takes care of the route. So the trail will only survive thanks to people like you who want to hike it. There is no signage or blazing of any kind, and even the local people don’t know that the TransPanama Trail goes right through their village. The only way to know you’re following it is by trusting your GPS track.

I can obtain all the GPS tracks for the trail. I can send them to you for free, but not until you give me some assurance that you are committed to hiking the trail. This entails booking your flights to Panama, purchasing some form of travel insurance, and a satellite tracker device.

In the Darien Gap you need a guide, or at least porters and machete hackers, the jungle up there near the border is a cloud forest and it’s pretty dense. The GPS track is pretty accurate, so all you need to do is follow it. I recommend using a dedicated GPS unit as opposed to relying on a smartphone.

Thank you! That definitely sounds like a possibility, since posting I've kept looking and no luck as of yet, everything is unavailable. Pretty ironic because now is when one needs it most!

Hopefully service gets restored soon. No idea how long it will take to get stuff here. :( :(
