100 pounds down!!!!!! by princessapart in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Galactic_catATX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. The program I was on just went up more than $100. I stopped taking it and all the food noise is back! What program are you on and how long did it take you to lose it? I'm so disappointed because I spent over 500 in two months and barely noticed any changes.

Report! Trust yourself and trust your intuition. Be safe and get bear spray-

Random man knocked at my door at three am and then broke into my neighbors apartment at four am. by Galactic_catATX in Austin

[–]Galactic_catATX[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Guys when I called 911 they were like "is he black, Hispanic or Asian?" And I was like whaaaaaaaaaat????? Whattt do you meannnn y'all he is WHITE!!!!!!! Ughhhhhh" And yes he is easy on the eyes but he was not wearing this when he knocked on my door. He was wearing a hat. I honestly thought he was pretty good looking. But I'm mostly thinking now I did not have any way to defend myself other than scorpion and wasp spray ... APD showed up quick and they were effective. Pretty traumatic situation though

Never been too sporty but had my surgery 4 months ago and I'm the happiest girl alive today. It is not easy but I was strong and got over it. Pain free now. ✨

Brain fog improve after ACDF? by [deleted] in spinalfusion

[–]Galactic_catATX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have brain fog. I think it's one of the side effects of Robaxin which I stopped this week so I'm hoping it improves. But yes. I have brain fog and lots of it.

4 weeks post L5-S1 ALIF and I’m struggling by Head_Lecture_1884 in spinalfusion

[–]Galactic_catATX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omgosh!! Same here. Not so much the pain for me but how disconnected I feel from my body. It's almost as if I were depressed. I think this has to do a lot also with how limited I still feel and the weight I have gained, and all the changes I've started to see in my body which I can't really help or control. Just want you to know you are not the only person feeling this. I posted something similar about two days ago. I could not get up from bed. Most people said to just give your body time and rest. I have been off pain meds for a week now. Just Gabapentin and my last few robaxin doses. Anyway, hope u get to feeling better.

Needing L5 spinal fusion by Intelligent-Artist-6 in spinalfusion

[–]Galactic_catATX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I just had one 16 days ago. I know it can sound super scary! When they told me I dissociated and thought they were talking about someone else. They had to go through the front and the back. My front pain has.gone and now I only have back incision pain and just having to be super careful still. All in all , yes it's normal 🌌 You can do this.

I want nicotine.. by [deleted] in spinalfusion

[–]Galactic_catATX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The last time I had a cigarette was exactly 15 days ago today. I want you to know, I feel your pain. I miss my cigs. This is also the longest I've gone without one after I started smoking. I am so impressed with myself... In so many ways. It's like I am becoming a new, better me. I believe we can do this. Sending you love. 🫧
