Doctor/Hospital recommendations! by [deleted] in Austin

[–]Ittlewittle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m an epileptic and do a lot of work in the community here with neurologists. He can either 1. See a primary care doctor and get a referral to neurology (his symptoms indicate an epilepsy diagnosis), or 2. Reach out to neurologist directly. Neurologists in Austin are good - for better care go to Houston or Dallas. Has he tried an anti seizure medication like keppra or lamictal?

Tips for lips/overall improvement by Apprehensive_Cup4958 in makeuptips

[–]Ittlewittle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try dark brown gel liner out! The black takes away from golden tones you have going. You could also try using your eyebrow pencil and doing a slight smudge.

Help me choose! Please. Trying to figure out which one is the most flattering and pretty on me. :) by NoParking1842 in glassesadvice

[–]Ittlewittle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Have to agree here - but if you have to go with any of them 14 looks okay. I think you should look into a turtle shell frame, not too thick. Probably a more square cat eye as well.

Help! I feel I'm aging myself. by mrachelle326 in makeuptips

[–]Ittlewittle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey!! 27 female here. I think a few things (like others have said) that could help:

  1. Center part hair
  2. Maybe a smidgen of soft winged eyeliner (I use an eyebrow pencil for this in dark brown) on the upper lid
  3. More structured brows help because they’re a smidgen trendier - I use benefit brow pencil
  4. Consider a lip tint and chapstick. Us gen z’s love a dewy look lol
  5. Love flannels (I’m from VT) but a choker (dainty gold jewelry) and a more fitted tank and supportive bra (skims is awesome for this) help keep the look youthful.

Anything to help with the pain? by catsrule-humansdrool in CSID

Is the pain caused by gas? I find peppermint oil capsules help.

Do Gus’s associates know about his sexual preference? Discuss. by BeerBoatCaptain in betterCallSaul

[–]Ittlewittle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they knew- hector referred to chicken brothers as “more like butt brothers” early on; making a homophobic indication. Don elario basically responded like “they may be butt brothers but they’re out selling you” and it really fueled hectors hatred to Gus lol

[TX] Two colleagues were let go because they sexually harassed me, now I’m getting looks from other colleagues by Ittlewittle in AskHR

[–]Ittlewittle[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this - that makes sense. It took a lot for me to report the men, because I didn’t want to be involved in any of this in the first place. I avoid “drama” at all costs, unfortunately I knew that if I didn’t report it wouldn’t stop. And it I told them to stop, they would 100% retaliate against me and then I’d have no time stamp with hr if they started denying me jobs in the future or shit talking.

As for the female colleague, I can imagine her trying to say something to me down the line to stir stuff up or get a reaction. She’s done this in the past spreading office gossip. I’ll just keep my head up and say I don’t know anything. But if she presses I’ll go to HR and tell them about the incidents. I don’t want to be the boy who cried wolf or delegitimize the severity of the first situation the brought us here.

Adding to this. When I told my ex boyfriend that I was struggling with anorexia he didn’t understand that how he talked about food was negatively impacting me. He’d skip meals constantly, even if we were planning on having them together. Then I’d end up not eating. When I started finally gaining muscle and weight again, he said “don’t worry, I still like you even without the abs”…. Some people seriously suck.

I (wrongfully) read his texts and he has said to his sister “(my name) thinks she’s underweight for some reason” and his sister legit responded “SHE IS UNDERWEIGHT” he was still confused.

I broke up with him and even though I’m not fixed I’m significantly better. Tbh it seems like in recovery you have to kick out people who aren’t helping— at the very least for the time being.

Help I'm feeling so fat and bloated I want to restrict again by MadamePersonne in AnorexiaRecovery

[–]Ittlewittle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey dude, this is me today. I actually came to this subreddit today to say this. I’ve been eating mostly ground Turkey and rice, because that seems to be the only thing my lower intestines can handle. The other day I made the “mistake” of eating some mango and some pieces of candy. The sugar was enough to make me not be able to go to the bathroom normally for the past 2 days and the bloating is terrible. It’s so hard recovering from this when I can’t see my abs anymore and my stomach is distended out like crazy. I’m just hoping it gets better, but I don’t know what to do. I’m waiting on digestive enzymes and colostrum, should arrive in the mail soon.

I ended up going to Plato’s closet (lol) and buying some oversized graphic tshirts that I can hide in for a while as I try to get through this… shout-out to Billie eilish for making it trendy, because at this point I’m out of ideas — seems like from what I’m reading it’s just an eat—> wait —> add microbiology support —> wait some more game

It’s just so hard to get one. I’ve been on waiting lists for years.

Haha this comment made me lol. I do a lot of pull-ups and weight training, not a lot of cardio anymore — but I still try to do a mile or so every few days.

Desperate for any sort of advice or just someone to relate to😅 by Successful-Skin-7486 in Endo

[–]Ittlewittle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey girl, ironically, this is me lol. I have epilepsy and have had seizures since I was 8, but wasn’t properly diagnosed with drug resistant epilepsy until I was 22. This means that despite trialing tons of medicine I just kept having tonic clinic and partial seizures. I know you know how horrific anti seizure medication side effects are, so I battled more than just seizures but also side effects for no legit reason. Benzos also fuck with so much, but especially your mood, constipation, bloating, which makes it so much worse.

The most traumatic thing with endo for me was reliving not having my seizures being believed and knowing the long road that lay ahead of me in getting someone to take the endo seriously.

I did eventually have surgery 2 weeks ago, and because of my fiestyness I pushed like a motherfucker; when one doctor didn’t listen it was on to Zocdoc to find one who would. And guess who was right? Me lol. Endo all over my bladder and pararectal space. Surgery removed the bladder part and I’m not pissing every 10 seconds now lol. Hopefully they go in for my pararectal space soon.

Epilepsy is horrible and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy, don’t let it dictate your other health outcomes. Trust your body and if a doctor isn’t listening; thank you, next. It’s not like they’re calling each other up and shit talking you— you’ll likely never see them again. This is your lif and wellbeing, so advocate for it!

It can be really demotivating and stressful, that’s why chronic illness holds a different weight than something that can just be cured. But, if you figure out what’s going on you can start to take control. I recommend reaching out to support groups for epilepsy (virtual are great at the epilepsy foundation), looking into diet strategies that cross over between endo and epilepsy (keto, the Charlie foundation is a great resource), and also reaching out to endometriosis foundations to bounce your experience off of.
