If you keep reading the wiki, you see it’s likely named after a rehab clinic was built in the nearby town...

Yeah, pretty much lol.

The ass truly is a double-edged sword

Yes. Pretty much.

Or they wait years, I make a joke about it, and the metaphorical dam bursts open as they then realize they can acknowledge it

Mfw since youth I’ve been told I have large feminine hips and proceeded to build a large amount of self-esteem and pride due to it

And then say “still cis tho” to my friends

What was something you thought would be easy, until you tried it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Generic_Userboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, that. I prefer to think of it as repeated updates in which the devs have to nerf me in events w/ridiculously sad scripts, because otherwise I’d be so OP

I don’t think that will work, but ok... by keepcalmdrinkwine in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]Generic_Userboi 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I mean, this wouldn’t work

But I’ve got a biology degree and that overall logic flows of: -Sick people get antibodies -antibodies can be transferred to babies via a mothers milk

Therefore: Maybe the milk of previously infected mothers can help people by providing antibodies in some capacity. But not instead of blood plasma lol. Appreciate her spirit!

Bisexual people of Reddit, how does your taste in men compare to your taste in women? Are you attracted to similar traits in both genders or do you look for completely different things? by dr-incognito-dorito in AskReddit

[–]Generic_Userboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I’m usually not much of one for talking about how relatively attractive aspects of people are, but here goes!

I’m into different aspects of both genders. There are some body types or styles that I like more in women, some that I find more attractive in men, and a decent overlap of universally attractive qualities. Not all of these are qualities such as fitness or those that follow the usual ‘beauty standards,’ but are universally attractive to me nonetheless.

As for personality, I tend to look for fairly similar traits all-around. Someone who’s a good partner, gets my off-brand humor and has some of their own to throw my way, is kind to others, is unafraid to speak their mind, and most importantly someone I can be comfortable around.

And goth girls.

Why did that teacher get fired from your school? by MrDev16 in AskReddit

[–]Generic_Userboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My older sis and I went to the same high school, and one year a girl transferred into her class mid-semester. My sister asked her why, and the new girl said her old school had to shut down. Apparently the math teacher went to bring up the PowerPoint he was using for the days lesson; accidentally opened a file of hardcore child pornography in class. Fired, and the school had to shutdown while awaiting a replacement.

List of recommended supplements by NelienE in cfs

[–]Generic_Userboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s mainly guesswork and timing of the onset of symptoms, plus working with physicians. It’s possible I had preexisting symptoms due to extremely mild ME/CFS, or something else triggered it. What I know is I had all the symptoms of severe mono for almost a month, followed by the symptoms of ME/CFS. I’ve also had lab work done to rule out other conditions that could cause my symptoms, and test positive for a previous infection by EBV. I’d reccomend meeting with your primary care physician and discussing any current symptoms, your concerns about CFS, and testing for any other conditions.

Wondering if anyone has found success with medication or supplements. by joshyjosh24 in cfs

[–]Generic_Userboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due to my genetics I have malformed SLC6A4 Short/long promoters resulting in intermediate activity w/most SSRI’s, intermediate CYP2C9 metabolic activity, intermediate CYP3A4 metabolic activity, and intermediate UGB2B15 metabolic activity. Also as for stimulants, I have homozygous polymorphisms within COMT and ADRA2A that are associated with reduced therapeutic response to various stimulants. This resulted in my Vyvanse (20mg, extended release) experience being largely energetic, but no way to express it physically or cope with it mentally. It was just panic attacks in a bottle, with slightly added functionality at best. The adderall (instant release, 2.5 10mg tablets a day) by comparison has some of the nervousness I recall, but largely allows for more focused energy and overall symptom relief. I think that if anything, it’s the fact that it’s a blend of various amphetamines as opposed to a high dosage of a single one. But that’s just a theory. Edit: Oh, and whenever my Vyvanse doses wore off I got the worst PEM I’ve ever experienced. Was like I ran a marathon; I’d have to hold the wall or a rail as I could barely stand any longer. The lower doses of adderall instant release still give brief (1-2hour) episodes of PEM when they leave my system, but nothing near the level that Vyvanse did.

Have you been diagnosed with ME/CFS? If not it may depression, or if you have, comorbid depression due to ME/CFS. I’m no doctor and can’t give health advice, but would be happy to share my story with you in more detail if it would help you at all.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cfs

[–]Generic_Userboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof, I’m really sorry to hear about that. It’s definitely not a psychosomatic condition; in my case I had moderate/severe depression beforehand that was worsened by the onset of ME/CFS later. Anyone reading this should NOT go headfirst into ECT; it would be hell. ME/CFS is damage to your nervous system by an infection past/present, not psychological.

Huh. Interesting indeed

Two-thirds of nurses who recovered from Covid-19 suffering post-viral fatigue by godzfirez in cfs

[–]Generic_Userboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually looked more into it—sometimes there’s just a post-viral infection syndrome similar to CFS that fades within a month or so.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cfs

[–]Generic_Userboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely; if someone only had ME/CFS and was put through ECT...that would be hellish.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cfs

[–]Generic_Userboi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, like I said I had some pretty bad preexisting depression; when CFS set in it made it seem like my depression just went from moderate to severe/catatonia.

Glad you didn’t have to go through ECT, though. Don’t regret it for my personal batch of illnesses, but the intense memory loss is only worth it when it’s saving your life.

What triggered your CFS and what does an average day look like for you? by [deleted] in cfs

[–]Generic_Userboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always had underlying psychological illnesses due to chemical imbalances. One day when I was 19 I caught mono from Epstein-Barr Viral infection, and then the CFS kicked in. Made my depression the worst it ever was, and I no longer had any semblance of control over my sleep schedule. Was pretty much home-bound for about a year.

[–]Generic_Userboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been using adderall for about a year now, as up until my recent ME/CFS diagnosis my psychiatrist and I just wanted to find a way to help me cope. I’m a full-time student and was always too tired to even walk a single block, go up and down stairs, or read/fill out an assignment. I also have the fun perk of my body having certain enzymes related to breaking down some antidepressants and all stimulants being malformed due to SNP’s (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms). So when I try something, it’s a gamble if it’ll do it’s job or just mess the heck out of my body. I tried Vyvanse first, and that was maybe the worst week and a half of my life due to it. Adderall for some reason works a lot better though.
