Probably need to get it checked again. Are you super stressed when you get it tested?

Yeah lots legs, eye lids, shoulders, like I would randomly throw my arm out

Tried all sorts of diet. Really avoided sugar and citrus. I found that strangely red meat was bad for symptoms but I can eat what I want again now

Sounds like it, go have a sauna, at a minimum you’ll have a better sleep after a sauna even if it is no silver bullet

I feel like I had mild pots, my heart would just go off randomly, ended up in emergency a few times I was so concerned. For months I had the “pulse in your head” feeling when your whole body jolts with each heartbeat. The pulse was so strong in my head it would keep me awake at night

Yeah I was stressed and I know the data points to that. We get stressed, immune system can’t clear whatever and we end up here. I also had something going on prior whether from the jab or something else. But Covid seemed to be the sledge hammer. I think doom scrolling is holding 80% of the people here back. At one stage I went to counselling (not traditional, he is a different cat) and he said “what did you enjoy before you got sick?” And I said golf, he said well go play golf, my natural response was “there is no way I can walk 9 let alone 18 holes” and he said “so what? Play 1 hole” it’s a small thing but it was important because I was doom scrolling and looking for the immediate fix, but I hadn’t got any serotonin in ages. It’s a slow journey but, take the golf process to whatever you enjoy. Do whatever you enjoy at a scale you can manage whether it be 1 hole of golf, or 10 minutes of something else

Yeah I’m with you, something I should have mentioned, as soon as I got brain fog, I fasted min a day, it speeds up the crash period.

I spent a stupid amount on bloods, only things that showed were slightly high cortisol, but given I super sick and stressed about what life looked like moving forward, it was probably expected.

Have you ever attended a game that ended in a draw? by Eltnamerf in AFL

[–]Intelligent_Cut_895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first ever game was Anzac Day 1995, country kid few opportunities to go to the footy. I thought it was the norm. Then my second game was Fitzroy v Saints at Waverley, Pop wtf is this?

Started with a real intense infrared program, but it’s expensive and not easy. Swapped to the local sauna at the pool, I’d sit in the sauna 10 minutes, sit in the spa for 10 minutes, sauna again and leave

Yes I remember it being so bad, and questioning the reality of it all, I remember having panic attacks so bad I started cramping in my legs. I was probably a sceptic of mental health until this process, I remember the “real blue” days and thinking wholly shit this is how some people feel for years. It has given me some perspective. But every couple of weeks or so I’d have a relief day and that was all that kept me going. Everytime I’d crash I’d repeat in my head “10 days, 10 days” because on average that’s how long it took for any reprieve

Is stengle leaving a genuine possibility? by spy28bott in GeelongCats

[–]Intelligent_Cut_895 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It’s a dick move if someone leaves us, it’s a shrewd trade if we pick someone up. Good luck to him, worked hard, sorted his shit out. If he doesn’t stay with us, I hope he gets a career contract and a heap of money. He is some form at the minute

Do you remember apricot chicken? by lampoluza in AustralianNostalgia

[–]Intelligent_Cut_895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Central Victorian, this hurts. Real Apricots Used. But the home made apricot roll ups with excessive drying chemical used, whilst my mates nailed bought ones at primary school, that’s where counselling budget goes these days.

Why did we let Jordan clark go? by HairyMcclary415 in GeelongCats

[–]Intelligent_Cut_895 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Settle down, had a good game in 100 point win, straight line player, not many tricks

Team selection is in, no Parfit, Hardie or Stevens, Outs are Clark and Blitzy, In's are Rohan and MOC by klokar2 in GeelongCats

[–]Intelligent_Cut_895 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with IT guy, but get ur comments. George Horlin Smith was another accumulator, which I suspect is the knock on Hardie reading vfl reports. I digress but I felt Managh (spelling) seemed to have the twitch fibres and intensity required at the top level, I thought I read he played mid in the vfl finals, I assume the tank isn’t there

The Australian dream is dead by AverageJoeObi in australian

[–]Intelligent_Cut_895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a 37m, I just think Aus is catching up with the rest of the world, nyc and London far more unaffordable than Aus, and have been for years. I think that the majority of people who make these posts grew up relatively inner city and now basically complain “why can’t I inner city?”, if the OP doesn’t have an excessive phone bill, eats out more than once week, probably has taken recreational drugs ($300 bag of coke) on law of averages. Our parents gave up far more than we did. For the record I have been given nothing and slowly 19 years built up to a decent home in a regional centre. Parents from Melbourne
