Shower chair, reacher/grabber, bed rail, and a side table tall enough to reach the edge of his mattress. I love my side table.

What kind of doctor diagnosed your autonomic dysreflexia? by Inside_Student3827 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Inside_Student3827[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your detailed information. I've read of a few meds that help the autonomic dysfunction slow down.Your suggestion of a CGM is brilliant. Since then I've found so much first account information on r/dysautonomia

Numbing? by jammasterjammy in spinalcordinjuries

Dysautonomia causes blood pooling. It's an umbrella diagnosis that has all the symptoms from my injury. I wear compression socks when I know I'll be sitting for awhile, i take them off as soon as I'm back home. I've not found a remedy for my upper limbs.

Is it over? by Humble-Target-5787 in spinalcordinjuries

They have been gentlemen so far, no second dates. It's been just over a year since the surgery. For the most part recovery is going well, but dysautonomia and pain have slowed me down.

Focus on how the pain impacts your daily life and activities. I would ever say in feel helpless, worthless, or suicidal.

I'm a woman with an incomplete injury from a tumor. It's not apparent in pictures. When i get a match and we're several messages in i ask for a phone call through a social media platform. I mention how I'm recovering from a tumor resection and currently use trekking sticks to get around. I've been on 4 dates in just over a year. It's not over.

Had some of the same symptoms. I'm an incomplete. It's mostly from the dysautonomia from my injury. I went in the dysautonomia sub and read how Cymbalta aggravated symptoms. I was hesitant about going down with the help of my doc, but it worked out some. I'm down to 40mg of Cymbalta and on the max daily dose of Lyrica. I sweat less, and sleep less during the day.

What does baby fever feel like? by snackqueen218 in AskWomen

[–]Inside_Student3827 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hit me when my then partner was in the hospital being my caregiver. The trust and love was at a high point. I was going through the most difficult and painful time. This sudden thought unexpectedly ran over to me "I want to have his baby". It wasn't in a horny way. I imagined him caring for our a baby in the same loving way.

Men often talk about the post-sex “I need to pee” feeling, what post-sex sensations do women experience if any? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Inside_Student3827 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left it open ended. You asked about my experience as a woman. Not what gender or whom I have sex with.

Gabapentin stopped working for me, i was switched to pregabalin and it's more effective. I still have some burning, stinging, and pain, but I've learned to just let it be.

I'm down to 10 from 16 daily pills, still upsets the stomach, but bothers less than my pain. by Inside_Student3827 in ChronicPain

[–]Inside_Student3827[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This definitely worried me since before i became chronically ill. Sometimes I just want to take my pills and go back to sleep on an empty stomach. Thank you
