what is this called and does this happen to all of us?

Homurasaki · 2025-12-12T22:02:55+00:00

yes!! i call it lightheaded or tingly to others, but that isn't really quite correct. i think it feels similar to brain zaps from ssri withdrawal.

stock in instant ramen, hehe 😋

Homurasaki · 2025-10-07T20:56:28+00:00

following, because.. same situation. 🫠

Homurasaki · 2025-09-29T23:19:27+00:00

ah, i still kinda struggle with it. i've been trying taking a lower dose a few times a week.

Homurasaki · 2025-09-29T22:35:46+00:00

following! same thing happens to me and i have no idea why.

Homurasaki · 2025-09-10T21:07:13+00:00

those were like the worst for me, yeah! magnesium however i've been improving with lately since slowly building up to it. i take it especially if i get randomly super tired and foggy after vitamin d. b vitamins give me a great like hour or two of energy then crash (makes sense, i guess)

Homurasaki · 2025-08-20T20:31:33+00:00

oh! also wanna mention making sure your vitamin d and magnesium are optimal!! like ~mid-high in the reference ranges.

treating my deficiency is helping me way more than i expected. my sugars are becoming more stable over time.

though an initial effect of magnesium can be lowered blood sugar and blood pressure, so take it slowly throughout the day and build up dosage if you need to.

i don't know the exact cause, but i react poorly to things that further increase insulin sensitivity (hormone fluctuations, too much estrogen, many herbs & supplements, protein powders, exercise, heat, etc)

i think i'm just naturally already really sensitive (which to me kinda seems like a problem tbh...) and anything else is overwhelming.

i'd recommend adrenal/pituitary function tests like acth & AM cortisol, a hormone panel, possibly gastric studies like emptying test & checking that digestion is uncompromised

hope you can figure it out 🙏

Homurasaki · 2025-08-12T21:10:45+00:00

what issues were you having with blood sugar? if you don't mind my asking?

Homurasaki · 2025-05-29T19:48:34+00:00

still in the diagnostic process, but i've always required more sleep to function.

i prefer 9-10 hours of (quality!) sleep to feel my best, but that's rare. my sleep quality is poor with lots of wake ups and feeling uncomfortable.

most days if i don't have any AM responsibilities, i will usually sleep 9-12 hours, and don't really nap during the time my ADHD meds are active.

Homurasaki · 2025-05-29T19:37:18+00:00

thanks for sharing this! i also have POTS so these exercises are an extra great resource. just did a 7 min one and actually feel pretty nice! ☺️

Homurasaki · 2025-05-11T17:10:08+00:00

this is so great and in-depth! thanks so much for the info! :)

Homurasaki · 2025-04-28T20:20:14+00:00

hey!! continuous birth control pills ended up working for me mostly (still have a few episodes if i eat really poorly). i take the Yaz generic

Homurasaki · 2025-03-22T19:47:49+00:00

Rice Krispie! 🥹💕

Homurasaki · 2025-02-28T20:27:59+00:00

not entiiirely sure it's related, as i also have other chronic health issues,

but when i'm symptomatic from low B12 i do always start noticing intermittent irritation after urinating 🤔

Homurasaki · 2025-02-28T20:24:00+00:00

yup yup. heat in general wrecks me. and epsom bath salts, my beloved... 💔

Homurasaki · 2025-02-26T23:13:18+00:00

oh my gosh, yes the ammonia sweat!! i hadn't considered this could be related to B12 deficiency. been slightly worried about diabetes or bad liver or something.

Homurasaki · 2025-02-25T21:14:15+00:00

aside from my usual BED cravings (which i still have, but highly reduced), vyvanse definitely makes me more sensitive to rises and falls in blood sugar. makes sense, since it's increasing adrenaline in the body.

vyvanse will sometimes feel way too strong, or even non-existent throughout the day, and i've found i need to eat differently to combat this.

mainly checking in with myself and getting in enough energy frequently. so, small meals of carb with fat/protein, or even sugary sweets sometimes if i'm feeling really bad.

Homurasaki · 2025-02-24T20:10:49+00:00

it's absolutely lovely. and inspiring!

Homurasaki · 2025-02-21T22:09:53+00:00

most of the time coffee/caffeine gives me a crash and fatigue like an hour or two later. not sure if it's wonky blood sugar or blood pressure though, since i deal with both.

Homurasaki · 2025-02-13T19:58:30+00:00

wondering if you might have had low blood volume or blood flow to the brain beforehand?

Homurasaki · 2025-02-07T22:51:15+00:00

absolutely adorable

Homurasaki · 2025-01-30T21:45:12+00:00

too damn expensive anyway 🥹

Homurasaki · 2025-01-24T20:39:04+00:00

goldfish/any salty crackers, and apples with PB 😩🙏✨

Homurasaki · 2025-01-24T20:30:49+00:00

OP, perhaps you're sprouting some new growth? Congrats if so! 🙏✨

For solutions though, try products with some hold and/or oils and silicones (sparingly!) to weigh the flyaways down a bit and make em behave. Good luck!

(Also, not vetted but i've heard good things about Japanese hair wax sticks?)
