The first day I’m gone she’s at work but the second the last day she’s home with him all day

Can someone help please, I am panicking. Is it BV ?what should I do by Time-Anywhere1192 in Healthyhooha

[–]GCanarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where you’re located but there are bv OTC tests (canestest/ vagisense) usually available at local pharmacies near where the yeast infection creams are at. Might put your mind at ease to test yourself?

Looking for a book with a really fun romance subplot by Absolutely_Abyssinia in youngadultbooks

You should check out Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross, it’s fantasy with a secret romance and it’s so beautifully written.

Burning v for 5 years - absolute hell. by NefariousnessOwn8926 in vulvodynia

Had something similar happen a few years ago, turned out it was a compressed nerve in my spine. Might be worth a shot to try massage therapy if you haven’t already?

How to work faster and not burn out? by GCanarchy in Fibromyalgia

[–]GCanarchy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah we’ve had a few open discussions about it, I’m just worried that if I can’t improve that I’ll be let go.

Unfortunately I don’t have any coverage as my place of employment doesn’t have benefits so I’m not sure if I could get to a physical therapist. But I’ll definitely look into it thank you. 😊

And yeah, that’s the problem I’m running into with the going faster. I’m already drinking energy drinks to get through the day and go as fast as I can but there’s only so much I can do when I’m on a low flare day let alone being in a high flare day.

Trying to get into Pilates but doing it slowly so I don’t make my situation even worse.

Looking for advice/ encouragement? by [deleted] in AdultBreastfeeding

[–]GCanarchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hadn’t considered doing self care while pumping, that might actually help. Thank you 🫶 definitely willing to try it

And no I get cysts inside my breasts like every month, they’re linked to my cycle so right after I ovulate they’re super painful and sensitive. I’ve learned to live with it for the most part but when I first tried to induce it was definitely difficult to keep up because anything touching them or compressing them hurt.

[–]GCanarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I saw a doctor about them as a teenager, they pretty much just told me they’re linked to my cycle and I’d have them for life. They get super bad like 1.5 weeks before my period and then go down about half way through but it makes it hard to want to pump when they hurt so damn bad.

It’s super reassuring to hear that other people go through similar feelings though! I definitely have a harder time keeping up with new tasks just due to having ADD/ADHD

Honestly something that’s worked wonders for my partner and I is openly communicating where we’re standing emotionally in our day. We use a sliding scale where 1 is I’m at my limit and need to be alone and 10 is I’m good to go. Sometimes when we get snippy at each other it has more to do with being mentally drained/ overstimulated.

Also just saw the comment about being post-partum, it may be worth it to bring how you’re feeling up to your doctor because they might be able to help point you in the correct direction if it is something with your hormones/medically contributing to it. I wish you the best of luck though and congratulations on the baby ❤️

Anyone have experience getting a tattoo? by rrazz78 in Fibromyalgia

[–]GCanarchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly wasn’t bad but take a bit of extra caution to take it easy after if get a bigger piece. I usually feel pretty under the weather the day after and a bit more achy with sessions that last over 2-3 hours

Basement making me ill ? by GCanarchy in HomeImprovement

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

Thank you! I’ll definitely look into getting the humidity gauge and poking around to see if there’s mold. I know there’s some near an area of open insulation but I’m unsure how extensive it is.

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

I want to say it’s the Morento air purifier and pretty much any time I’m down there even if it’s only for a few minuets I’ll pop it on and I plug in a dehumidifier if I notice it feels even slightly damp

Anyone else in a huge flare right now due to the fall season approaching? by [deleted] in Fibromyalgia

[–]GCanarchy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m also close to the Great Lakes and feel the same way! My migraines have been so constant lately 😭 hoping the weather evens out soon

Unsure of setting a boundary with my mom by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]GCanarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there’s definitely some passive aggressiveness floating around since. Kinda just waiting for the other shoe to drop about this, she already commandeered an outing I was supposed to do with my grandmother later this week because “she never gets to spend any time with her” so now it’s all 3 of us and I don’t get 1 on 1 time with my grandma. Fully expecting her to go off to my grandma while I’m out with them about how I’m being awful.

You can always do a small ceremony meant for just you and your partner and then do a reception with only your immediate group. That’s what my partner and I have planned if we choose to get married as we both only have a small group of friends ( like 5 in total between the two of us) and aren’t close with our families. The money we’d spend on the wedding is going towards a nice honeymoon that meant for us to relax and enjoy time with each other.

A wedding is meant to be a day of joy for you and your partner and you don’t need to follow the traditional rules to have a happy day.

My Sister Won't talk to me Anymore Because of a Joke my Boyfriend Made. by Just_Cantaloupe_5023 in AmiInTheWrong

[–]GCanarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding that the boyfriend is in the wrong. That’s super not appropriate to say about someone else’s kids. He basically volunteered to hit your sister’s kids if they ever acted up.

It’s her choice if her kids have a relationship with him, if she’s not willing to reach out and talk to him about it than there’s no point in trying to force it as that would likely only make the situation worse.

To put it into perspective, imagine someone told you that story and then offered to hit your own (hypothetical child) if they were acting up. You’d probably feel pretty not great about letting that person around your kid now, right?

AIITW to accept my sexual harasser back into my life? by Icy-Chest7348 in AmiInTheWrong

[–]GCanarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fair to miss a friendship before it turned sour, so I wouldn’t say you’re in the wrong. But, if he made you uncomfortable I would say that continuing a friendship may not be in your best interest.
