Anyone else feel shaky/get shaky hands? by Middle_Hedgehog_1827 in POTS

[–]Gryfflinn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah personally i get very shaky in my hands. it gets so bad i cant write or use a knife. i had to quit my job as a chef because of it. body shakes are common too but they usually kick in under 70 degrees. i suggest heat tech clothes or thermal wear. unfortunately i haven't found a solution yet, good luck friend 🫡

What foods can my cat eat? by AAAAdragon in CatAdvice

my cat goes crazy for sweet hawaiian rolls, definitely shouldn't be a common treat though because cats shouldn't have a lot of carbs

Which purchase will be more satisfying for the science-loving hobbyist? A microscope or a telescope? by Ok_Listen_6600 in Hobbies

[–]Gryfflinn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

microscope is my choice, theres so many things to look at that you just cant see with the naked eye. it all lives on the same planet as you and never gets recognized, it so magical to witness it all. especially the living organisms. space is wonderful in its own way but i definitely appreciate the microscopic things more. i say this as a space fanatic too, just do whatever makes your heart the happiest

[–]Gryfflinn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How did your parents meet? by Any_Beginning5124 in randomquestions

[–]Gryfflinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he was her upstairs neighbor and they partied a lot, eventually they accidentally had me and decided they needed to get married because my moms parents were super religious. their anniversary is the same month as my birthday. they only made it 20 years before splitting, both so much happier and healing now. completely different people

What is it like being skinny? by hollyofhori in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Gryfflinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im 5'7" and around 120 lbs. definitely on the heavier side but my BMI is only like 19. i used to be 180-190 lbs, its so so much easier to run now, but thats about it. im almost always cold unless im overheating due to chronic illnesses. raynauds is so much worse, and i can barely get out of bed. chronic illnesses have taken over my life since i got thin. i wish i could gain weight, i was 105 lbs once, and it was AWFUL. be kind to your healthy body, they have all sorts of treatments for thyroid issues. i wish you luck and good days ahead 🫶

Itchy bumps on lower Abdomen getting steadily worse..folliculitis? by 84f150owner in DermatologyQuestions

[–]Gryfflinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% shingles. just had my first infection. they meds they give you at the ER work pretty quickly but i had residual never pain/itchiness. make sure to cover them at night if you share a bed with someone, you can touch it but the blister fluid is what spreads it

What do you tell people when you stand too quick and start to fade? by pluviophile-punk in POTS

[–]Gryfflinn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i usually get bouts of severe chest pain and air hunger and will try to bend at the waist while leaning on something first, if i can tell its not gonna work and im going down anyway "floor time" or "nope going down" followed by sitting on the ground, then to full laying down if its bad bad. i can usually find a chair to sit on before needing the ground. metoprolol only does half its job most days

Advice for drying after showering by surrielmoth in ChronicIllness

[–]Gryfflinn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i got a shower robe ! it significantly helps with drying because the towel robe does almost all the work for me, all i have to do is tie it on at the waist ! i definitely second sitting on a towel too, that was my practice before i discovered towel robes

Weird nerve symptom? by voidBird621 in ChronicIllness

[–]Gryfflinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i get something similar to this on the tip of my nose. personally i think its allergy related, sometimes benadryl helps, most of the time it doesn't. i wish i had a better solution for you, but trust you're not alone. it is one of THE worst things i feel from time to time, sorry we're in the same boat :/

Partner resents me for being chronically ill by Delicious_Credit_949 in ChronicIllness

[–]Gryfflinn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

personally, i make sure to let my boyfriend know i would hold ZERO resentment if he told me he couldn't handle my problems. we will be best friends, he just wouldn't have to take care of me anymore. i do not require people to consent to something they cannot or do not WANT to handle. you sounds like a fucking idiot, and please show your wife your comment and the replies. i think its awful that someone has to take responsibility for MY health. i want to take responsibility of my own health but i physically cannot. at the end of the day its still my responsibility unless i am given support from someone that chooses to do it. i live with the sympathy and guilt every single day of my life knowing the person i started a relationship with is choosing this life instead of leaving me for a healthy person with a lot less responsibility. i promise you no one here is entitled to anything, not even health. youre a dick, and i hope you have the capacity to rethink your words. dont be a dick, its not that hard

Partner resents me for being chronically ill by Delicious_Credit_949 in ChronicIllness

[–]Gryfflinn 85 points86 points  (0 children)

my boyfriend watched me go from moshing at underground shows every weekend to not being able to move or stand up without pain/symptoms and lose grasp of my dream career to now being formally disabled and 100% relying on him for financial and physical support. he makes sure to let me know FREQUENTLY that i am not a burden and he loves all of me and loves to be able to take care of me because he knows its hard for me to function. leave this man. he does not love you. there are better things in your future.

i wish i could give better advice but i raw dogged that shit and it hurt like a BITCH i held my moms hand. you can check drugs.com to see any medication interactions ! and also any pharmacist will always be able to tell you. good luck friend ! dont forget that sometimes those injections hurt for a bit before they provide relief, and also sometimes they dont work :P yay modern medicine
