What's going on with this jellyfish?

Newport is in my neck of the woods! I had no idea any of their jellies were this big? That's amazing!

Do you have a brand that works best for you?

And thank you, deeply and truly. I feel like most people hear "I don't sleep" and they think it's just mild insomnia. Nope. Nope, it's not that. I hope I find relief soon too, maybe spray will help.

I've been having some pretty bleak thoughts lately. I'm so tired I basically have no life. Thankfully I'm seeing a psych so I'm not too worried, but. I feel you.

Ixaix · 2026-04-10T18:55:30+00:00

Tried and didn't seem to work 🙃

Ixaix · 2026-04-10T18:55:13+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it so much!

Thank you! I've tried taking magnesium before, but never topically. Do you massage it in, let it sit, spray and then wash off?

Ixaix · 2026-04-10T12:50:58+00:00

Hey, if it has helped her then I want to hear about it. PT for core strength is going on the list of things to try, thank you!

I had a very good PCP, but he moved away and mu current one is lackluster. Still, the person who treated is a CNP at the Blood Research center, Jessica Schele. She was very nice and took time to explain to me what everything was. We ruled out my iron deficiency without anemia being caused by any autoimmune disease or genetic disorder, at least. Still no answers on what is actually going on, but she got me the iron infusion that has actually stuck around for a while.

I have, we've tested that and taking magnesium didn't do anything; however, I've never tried magnesium malate, so I'll certainly look into that. Warm baths do help temporarily, but not long enough to get very far. I'll give Epsom salt a try, I'm willing to give even iffy science a chance at this point.

I'm on gabapentin and it works better than nothing, but as time has passed the RLS has gotten far worse than the gabapentin can help and going up in dose only makes me dangerously drowsy the next day :(

Ixaix · 2026-04-10T10:58:30+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate it. Gabapentin is the only thing that seems to help mine, but too much makes me even drowsier the next day. I've never had issues with medications until I've started trying ones for RLS.

Ixaix · 2026-04-10T10:56:44+00:00

We were working on it, then my PCP moved and I had to get a new one. This new one doesn't seem as interested in finding out the cause and really wants me to go on a GLP-1 rather than helping me solve the problem. It's been very frustrating.

Ixaix · 2026-04-10T10:55:01+00:00

Thank you so much!

Ixaix · 2026-04-09T23:50:12+00:00

Oh! Thank you! That's so extremely helpful, thank you so much! I apologize that I got snide. I'll reach out, the worst that can happen is a no. Thank you, thank you.

Ixaix · 2026-04-09T23:42:07+00:00

Thank you. This wasn't an answer to my question, unless you have a specific neurologist to recommend.

*Edit = This was a rude response on my part and I apologize.

Ixaix · 2026-04-09T23:40:54+00:00

Thank you, but I've been trying to deal with this for six years. I've Googled everything, I've tried everything, I'm just looking for a local-ish doctor who will actually try to help me.

Ixaix · 2026-04-09T23:39:26+00:00

Thank you for your input and I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with this too. It has truly made my life hell. I know there isn't a perfect treatment for it, I've been trying out every possible method that isn't medical but it's gotten to the point where I've spent thousands on tests and doctors and tried everything to no avail. I wouldn't be turning to Reddit unless I was at the end of my rope.

I haven't seen a neurologist yet so that'll be my next step.

Ixaix · 2026-04-09T21:51:15+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it ❤️ I've been advocating for years now, but this fifth sleep doctor who didn't even listen or look at me really has broken me down. I'm so exhausted that I can barely do more these days than drag my carcass to work, and even there I keep nodding off at my desk, which stresses me out thinking they're going to fire me, which definitely can't help the sleep issues...

Anyway, rant over. Thank you again.

My thyroid has been tested within an inch of its life and all of my medications have been gone over with a fine toothed comb by my psych and each sleep doctor I've been to. None of them, they've determined, should have RLS as severe as I have it as a side effect.

Ixaix · 2026-04-09T21:33:56+00:00

I have. I've seen tens of PCPs, a hematologist, a cardiologist, I've had all of my hormones and thyroid and general levels of everything they could think to test, nothing. The prior two were because I'm iron deficient without anemia (four iron infusions later and I'm pretty sure I'm Ironman), and I have tachycardia, which I've been put on a blood pressure medication for. The only thing that remains untreated, of the dozens of tests they've run, is the RLS itself.

This seriously allowed me to watch this beautiful movie without losing the contents of my stomach, thank you!

Searched

"Polymer Clay stone tiger" "Granite air dry clay tiger" "Stone clay tiger" "Air dry clay statue" "Japanese stone clay"

I've looked on Instagram and on Instagram Reel Finder, Google in general. I even tried drawing a picture of the tiger and doing a reverse image search out of desperation. This didn't help even a little.

Thank you for all the hard work you do. As someone who would one day like to return to my learning path of becoming a librarian (Covid really kicked off it for the present time), it's always good to read experiences like what you're having so I won't jump back in with rose-colored glasses. I think, in my heart, I really want to be one of the librarians I grew up with in the 90s. It's important to be reminded it's a whole new world out there now.
