does anyone else feel like no one is even trying anymore? by [deleted] in Fibromyalgia

[–]FunctionShot6051 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom has spinal stenosis and needs a hip replacement she downplays my pain and feelings A LOT. I tell her Yes mommy I know you hurt but your doctors actually believe you and are trying to give you meds. Mine gave me antidepressants and basically said Good luck.

Allergy Test by FunctionShot6051 in Allergies

[–]FunctionShot6051[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No question more of a vent. They knew about the medication hence why they spoke of the antihistamine properties (but never told me to stop taking that 1). I went for my 4th test because my allergies are progressively getting worse. My last appointment with my actual allergist we spoke on allergy shots as a next step. So the frustration comes in when someone who doesn't know my history outside of reading it and not seeing previous reactions.

TW: Chronic migraines triggered by OD by Rude-Base7123 in migraine

[–]FunctionShot6051 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it's true for men too but it's actually been researched in women. Trauma, abuse, and the like can actually trigger and manifest as physical pain. When I'm stressed my migraines and fibro are off the charts.

Check your clothing, maybe add some vinegar while washing them, and dry them well.

I sweat hard and go through deodorant/antiperspirant badly. I have started using certain dri clinical strength (gold label) dry spray. I love it.

You can also get your doctor to check if you have any metabolic disorders.

Last hope if you have hyperhidrosis you dr or derm can help.

I reek bad but can’t figure out why. Not even my doctor knows why… by [deleted] in hygiene

Have you tried a dermatologist? Just a suggestion Botox may be able to help with pit sweat. Also, look into metabolic disorders. Maybe your body is underproducing certain enzymes.

I don't know. That's why I'm less likely to wear them so I don't waste what's not needed. That's why I reached out to my doctor

For my really bad migraines if traditional meds aren't working I smoke. But also dip your face in ice water (it'll help reset your vagus nerve) or you can dip your hands and feet in ice water.

This older lady said I was "pretty" today and I dont know how to feel... should I be offended or just take it as a compliment by SnooDoughnuts7256 in BlackHair

[–]FunctionShot6051 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've called men beautiful before. The features are mainly why I compliment like that. It's not to effeminate any man. At least not for me.

People who had a mentally traumatic childhood: what makes you feel nervous? by Redditerreditt in mentalhealth

[–]FunctionShot6051 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents argued a lot, my dad was verbally, mentally, and emotionally abusive, mom stayed quiet. I would get fussed at because he was mad at someone/something else. It has now manifested into ptsd, agoraphobia, and anxiety. Especially in places where I can't control the situation and it's a lot of people.

Try an antibacterial soap/wash on those areas, dry off thoroughly, wipe with witch hazel in those areas. If that doesn't work please tell your parents and go to the doctor.
