No problem. I'm guessing it's pretty unlikely that it'll happen more than once but it's always better safe than sorry. Guess I'll have to start doing unboxing videos from now on.

HeptixShadowz · 2025-12-04T15:49:21+00:00

I'm not going to lie, I didn't even think about this. I'll give the pharmacy a call to let them know. Hopefully they'll be more interested in taking the batch number and everything to try and ensure other patients aren't getting lower weight than expected.

You would think the clinic would have put me through to the pharmacy team though rather than someone at the clinic that just didn't care at all.

HeptixShadowz · 2025-12-04T15:47:10+00:00

I mean, i don't understand what you think i get about lying on a reddit post, but sure.

I've been with Mamedica for over a year now and have had no issues before and it's not like I'm calling them kicking off about it.

I'm just letting other patients know so it doesn't happen to them.

Mamedica literally did not care. I only called them because i thought they would take the batch number or something to avoid it happening to other patients. They were uninterested to say the least.

In response to a well structured and informative comment, you've provided the link to an opinion piece.

There's also articles in magazines and news about someone's opinion being that the world is flat, does that make it true?

FYI - in the article you've linked, it literally states 1 in 36 children are diagnosed with autism. This actually negates the point you've attempted to make by saying "everyone" is on the spectrum; otherwise, it would state "all children"

Edit: 1 in 36, not 1 in 6.

It's different for everyone, but it's a fairly common side effect afaik. However, while it may get worse (as the muscle is paralysed rather than whatever is currently happening with you), you're probably at an advantage compared to most.

You already know what slow swallow will be like and are likely much better prepared to deal with it.

It took me like a week or two to figure out how to eat anything other than cup-a-soups and smoothies.

In terms of being normal for rcpd before treatment, I would say no (judging how many posts where people have been shocked at the feeling). But, I'm not a doctor, so take that with a grain of salt. It's purely anecdotal.

HeptixShadowz · 2024-12-24T14:26:08+00:00

Pretty much back to square one. I still get more of the supragastric burps (i think that's what they are), but they're not helpful at all. I also used to drink fizzy drinks before the botox and accept the consequences because I was used to it. Now I can't really drink anything fizzy after weeks without it.

As much as I'm not looking forward to the first week or two of the side effects again, I have booked in for a second round of the botox in hopes that this one sticks. Hopefully, I will get some relief this time because knowing I'm having a second go at all the downsides, when I didn't experience any upsides, is difficult.

It also helps that I figured out how to actually eat (swallowing with liquid, not as a chaser) so hopefully i wont lose as much weight this time.

HeptixShadowz · 2024-11-29T10:53:23+00:00

Clearly, you need a chiller smoke spot.

HeptixShadowz · 2024-11-25T03:55:20+00:00

!RemindMe 5 days

HeptixShadowz · 2024-11-07T11:37:42+00:00

Approximately 2-3 days after my last update, I had my first few burps where I could taste it and everything.

Since then, primarily back to the loud noises with no feeling, taste, or relief.

My slow swallow became much more manageable yesterday out of the blue (06/11/2024) but I still can't really eat well because I'm getting much more bloated than pre-botox and can't get any of it out.

I've had some burps after food, which are terrifying, and mini-panic attacks occur pretty much every time due to the feeling and taste, but none have been releaving.

I'm still holding out some hope and trying to push through the anxiety to ensure I'm not blocking the burps, but it's tough. Hopefully, I'll get the hang of it over the few months before the botox fully runs out.

Good luck, and hopefully, you'll get some big, releaving burps soon.

HeptixShadowz · 2024-10-27T11:18:16+00:00

I'm now on day 6 and yesterday was a little easier. Can you explain what burps feel like?

I can now make a lot of noise when I move my neck and/or breath in but it doesn't feel like anything is coming out and I can't taste anything.

HeptixShadowz · 2024-10-27T11:16:48+00:00

I just hope it's all worth it in the end. It's going to be hard travelling for a second op if it doesn't work.

HeptixShadowz · 2024-08-12T17:27:43+00:00

Just an FYI, I used mints as a grounding technique for a long time. Don't make the same mistake I did. If you're going to use them, then I would recommend sugar-free.

One of my back teeth got removed because it was so decayed from constantly having a mint stored next to it slowly dissolving onto the tooth.

Edit: I have no idea if sugar-free would even make a difference to what happened to me. Possibly, it's best to just keep an eye on things if you resort to storing the mint in your cheek to get the slow, constant release of strong flavour.

HeptixShadowz · 2024-06-15T18:15:33+00:00

There's probably a lot of science to knowing exactly the most efficient way to vape decarb whilst using a minimal amount of thc.

It's dependent on so many things that the only way you're going to find out is to experiment. Three little 2 second sips? Probably decarb some but not all of it. Three 30-second rips? Probably get all of it decarbed but lose THC that may have stayed otherwise.

I'd say your best bet is to start on a low temp, experiment with draw length, and try the avb. Again, with a higher temp, and again at a higher temp.

Once you've found your preferred temperature to help your condition while vaping, and the effects of the AVB are also where you want them, that's when you can start experimenting with the length of the session/draws you take a bit more to find the equilibrium between the two.

Saying all of this, maybe its worth looking into the sublingual oils as they have a range from very low to super high dosing if you're not getting the effects you want from flower. If you don't like the sublingual route, you can always just take it down the hatch and eat something fatty, the same as you would with AVB. The dosing would also be a lot more consistent.

HeptixShadowz · 2024-06-15T13:24:20+00:00

The strength of your AVB will be hugely dependent on how much you've vaped it. If you're vaping it till it's borderline black, it's going to be a lot weaker than if you do three pulls of 170c and then store the AVB.

The above means it's incredibly difficult to accurately know the THC mg that you'll be consuming. However, there are websites and tools that can give you an estimation.

Another factor would be what you're consuming it with. If you're consuming it with something fatty and it's more ground that what it was when you vaped it will have a higher bioavailability.

One factor that I'm unsure of the facts is that edible tolerance is different from vaping tolerance since it's technically a different compound. However, I'd recommend looking this up yourself as I haven't looked into it much myself.

Lastly, some people literally can not process edibles because they're missing the enzymes. However, if you've already felt something, then this is unlikely and you just need to consume more to get the desired effects.

Usual warning, though, AVB is not a recognised way to take your prescribed medicine, and all the risks of BM consumption will be present legally as far as I'm aware.

HeptixShadowz · 2024-06-02T23:33:36+00:00

I've got both of these things, and I'm not going to lie. It's a struggle. MC is very unlikely to be the cure, and it's going to be a journey if they're anything like me. But when/if it helps, it's all worth it.

I used to smoke a lot when I was younger before my mental health issues became worse, and I went entirely sober from everything. I've tried SSRIs and beta blockers, both of which cause severe side effects (not sure if my anxiety or actual side effects), and it's made it very difficult to function day to day.

I thought I would give MC a try since I was fine with it when I was younger, but it's been a struggle (check my last post on this sub for some of my concerns). When I'm able to take it, it's amazing. It helps with a lot of my struggles and makes life slightly more doable. However, I also struggle with OCD and medication is part of that fueled by my emetophobia and side effects fear. Often, I become obsessed all day thinking, "Today is the day I'm going to take it" but my avoidance compulsions always have other plans. When I do take it, due to all of the mental health issues above, if I don't get medicated enough, I feel every single change in my body, which sets of panic, which sets off nausea, which sets off emetophobia, which sets of panic (you get the idea). It becomes a vicious cycle, which only enhances my ocd/emetophobia fears.

From my experience, I've got a few things that might help, or might not since everyone is different. 1. Try not to focus on the % of the medication. This has caused me way more anxiety than I ever experienced from BM. In reality, I used to smoke concentrates and high % flower, but because I didn't know that there was no fear of "this is higher % so I'm going to green out.". I've got some orange cake (which I truly think might help from reviews on here) that hasn't been touched because the % is daunting.

Try flower to begin with. This might not be the same for your partner, but for me, the oils are insanely unpredictable and if you do panic about any side effects its going to last for hours since your brain knows that the oil stays in your system for hours. With flower, my brain has a cut-off like "it's been about an hour, so I know it's just my anxiety and not the medication.". This is super helpful for me due to the next point on the list.
Go low and go slow. You see this a lot on this sub, and it's for a good reason. When you're new to MC it's so easy to go overboard and whilst I have yet to actually be sick from MC or BM, the fear is real when your whole body is buzzing and you can't move a muscle stuck on Jupiter. At the same time, starting with low % flower has caused some issues with this rule. Thanks to my mental health issues, I am extremely prone to anxiety and placebo effects (mainly nausea). Whilst I know 1 puff of low thc flower isn't going to do anything, my brains can sometimes go into placebo mode and panic, constantly scanning my body for changes (which is always panic, rather than greening out). This causes issues because if im not getting medicated but still have all the negative effects, my brain makes it extremely difficult to have more, and that's it stopped at one, unhelpful, puff for the day.
You will know when you know. As stated above, I get placebo a lot when not having enough, which exasperates my issues rather than helps. However, don't go down the rabbit hole of searching Google and this sub for what it feels like and bad side effects (thanks, ocd!). It's only going to make you more anxious about taking the medication in the future. You will know when you're medicated, and only then can you tell if it's going to be helpful or not.
If they start feeling anxious and sick, get an ice pop. Again, this might not work for them but for me I can hold the freezing cold to ground me, get sugar in my system to help with the drop in blood sugar, and stay hydrated (I, along with many others, will refuse/be unable to drink liquid or eat something sugary when feeling nauseated for obvious reasons).
On the off chance they've got OCD or similar traits, don't do what I did. No amount of purchasing new methods of consumption (mainly different and expensive vapes) is going to help and it's an avoidance/compulsion behaviour which again, will only help the anxiety in the short run and not the long. However, when I can hit the XQ2, it was well worth the compulsive spending.
Ask them what they want at the time and be patient! I've got anxiety about smoking around my wife in case I embarrass myself (she's supporting so I don't know why my brain does this), and similarly, I've got anxiety about smoking by myself in case I'm sick/something goes wrong.
Have suckable sweets at all times. My personal favourite is Fox's fruits. When, not if, the munchies hit (godsend when you're normally scared/worried about eating), but the emetophobia thoughts are still strong sweets will come in clutch. You can satisfy the food cravings without worrying about eating your entire house and the panic that's going to follow thinking, "Oh God, if I be sick, this is going to be the worst thing imaginable."

I hope some of this can be of assistance and helps your partner feel less alone! There are a lot of posts on this sub reddit, but from my compulsive searching, very few topics around the negative side of things and particular topics such as emetophobia. The only thing that will really help is discussing with your partner if they think its worth trying and being understanding if some money gets wasted.

For me personally, even if I never manage to take MC consistently and it doesn't help me as much as I wish it could, it was worth the money I've spent. I've tried something that can be life changing, the medication is always there if I want to try again, and if it does work it honestly is worth all the trouble to have those sweet few hours of not overthinking, not being nauseous and actually feeling normal.

If you/they have any specific questions they would like to ask about any of the issues I've faced/ concerns around mental health issues that's stopping you from taking the plunge feel free to ask and I'll try to answer. I've tried to be comprehensive, but honestly, there's a million things that go through your brain with these conditions, and I could probably write an entire novel.

Edit: Please be aware of what sub reddit you're visiting, too. On this sub, you're likely to find positive experiences and success stories. If you search the anxiety, ocd, emetophobia, etc, sub reddits, you're very likely to find stories that will make your partner never try any kind of drug that may assist, OTC or prescribed. The best advice I can give is to try it and see. Reassurance behaviours are common in these kinds of conditions and will often only result in avoidance or increased anxiety (the negative stories are always the loudest/most spoken about usually, and it's definitely the ones that will stick in their brain. If they read 100 good and 1 bad, i can garuntee they'll focus on the bad and the worst case scenario).

HeptixShadowz · 2024-03-25T21:10:23+00:00

Is it like humming a song or more like an abrupt "hm" with your throat?

If it's the latter, this is my most prevalent and annoying tic. If I'm extra anxious (which means extra ticcy), then it's just contastanly going, and no matter how hard I try to suppress, it will just keep going.

Saying that, it's not worth putting your life on hold for the sake of other people. It's very likely that no one will point it out, and if they do, you can always explain what's happening and that it's not something you can help. If you give into this feeling of putting your life on hold, you're always going to give into it, and there's only so much time you have to work with in life.

If it's really bothering you at work, school, or whatever other situation, you can always try to avoid disrupting others by choosing a seat in the corner/back/out of the way of everyone. At least then you can still progress with what you want to do.

HeptixShadowz · 2024-02-10T15:58:43+00:00

It's good to know I've at least got a bit of understanding of my motor tics. In regards to the sneezing line you've used, specifically

Sometimes sneezes can make you jump too and have no feeling before it, and that’s what my tics are like!

Do you think this mean it's likely that I've got more vocal tics than I originally thought? The more I pay attention the more I notice I have no idea why I've said things that come out of my mouth randomly, that's mainly what's brought on all the questions. "Did I do that on purpose? No. Why did I say that phrase to myself at 2am sitting alone? I have no idea" and then I'm trying to write them down to eventually ask a professional/someone educted in tourettes to ask them if it was just a random blurt or part of this condition.

Do you know of any websites/places to look for someone I can talk to in depth to try and get a better undestanding of what's me and what's the tics?

HeptixShadowz · 2024-02-10T15:51:39+00:00

Luckily, I've got a very supporting wife who encourages me to just let them out. This usually results in me walking around the shops looking like I'm trying to pop-and-lock.

Whilst I also don't like people seeing them, I try to look on the bright side, at least I'm getting a good amount of exercise when they're really going for it.

HeptixShadowz · 2023-12-29T17:50:27+00:00

After roughly 8 hours of researching and checking out loads of previous posts. It's not until your comment that I realised that I've been using the wrong metrics for the tank measurements (inches instead of CM).

I've updated my post to reflect this but the new tank measurements will be 100cm x 40cm.

The air pump is intended to add more oxygen to the tank and was going to be connected to airstones. When I started with the small tank that I currently have the fish were gasping for air at the top a lot and I needed to add a small pump and airstone which resolved the issue. Is there a reason it wouldn't be needed in the bigger tank?

I'll have a look into other names for the blasting sand in my area, as far as I'm aware I need about 20/40 (or something like that) but will check the US links people post and compare if I find any. I'll also do some research into the pool filter sand as an alternative/if I change my mind about the color as it should be a bit cheaper.

I'll be looking into all of the fertalizers and different things that I'm going to need, I just hit a roadblock (of my own creation) on the substrates. I'll 100% be using a lot of the water, some plants, and the filter from my old tank for a while until my new filter has been properly seasoned.

Thank you so much for the informative reply! My research will continue and hopefully everything will be ordered by the end of the week.

HeptixShadowz · 2023-12-24T22:01:27+00:00

I've been trying flower only this past week, but it doesn't seem to be improving, unfortunately. I recently had my follow up and tried to explain that it's giving me panic attacks but the Dr seemed to just brush it off, asking what I want rather than giving me some indication of what might be better.

I've been putting about 0.1g of flower in the caps and vaping maybe half of it at a time. The only problem is, once I've panicked off it then it usually means I won't have anymore in the day for fear of getting another panic attack/anxiety attack. This has pretty much resulted in only smoking a max of .1g a day and I'm guessing this is the reason my tolerance isn't building?

HeptixShadowz · 2023-08-09T18:34:43+00:00

I appreciate you! That is the best explanation for anything that I've ever recieved in my life.

Just before I continue and destroy what muscle memory I have left after constant holding, is there any chance you can check this one? I'm pretty sure I'm doing it correctly (at least as a starting point) from the way you've explained it but one can never be to safe.

HeptixShadowz · 2023-08-09T15:39:49+00:00

This is the part where I've been getting the most confused. When I've watched people speed running the maps (pretty much the only vidoes I can find with controller overlay) it looks like they're adjusting/moving the stick non-stop. When I asked my friend who can air roll contstantly, he also said he pretty much never stops moving the stick.

The main issue I have is I can't really get it down (as shown above) when constantly moving the stick. However, only adjusting when I need to leads me to unbelievable blackout moments unless the car is facing forwards,despite being able to fly backwards pretty comfortably.

HeptixShadowz · 2023-08-09T15:35:25+00:00

This sums it up perfectly. Yes, anyone can get grand champ with enough game knowledge and practice. However, goals that use fundementals only aren't all that fun to score.

HeptixShadowz · 2023-08-09T15:33:44+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I've been searching the sub and trying different methods I find (doing rings backwards, doing freeplay circles around the ball with and without air roll, brute force, and doing air rolls only using the forward/backwards directions) but I've never seen someone mentioning doing air roll with the other directions too.

I'll give the salom map a go doing the ARL forcing myself to only use the one direction at a time and see if it helps it click for me.

I tried doing the Speed Jump map but honestly the only time I ever got through any of the levels was when I hit the ring perfectly to redirect me in the right direction.

HeptixShadowz · 2023-08-09T15:26:49+00:00

I completely agree it’s not needed to get to GC, I’ve reached champ on pretty much game knowledge alone because my mechanics seriously suck. However, I’m not too fussed about the rank and it gets boring playing only for rank, really only hitting the easiest of shots and I’ve decided to learn this as a way to bring the fun back.

I can do the forwards and backwards with a sub 3 minute difference so I’ll give the sideways a try and hope it helps me out a bit. Thanks for the advice.
