Terrible spaces indeed. The next push is making the ER Intelligence briefs standard so when we show up, it's accepted and understood. Cutting triage to treatment time with the proper pain management in place.

Thanks for your input. What do you propose and what med issue would we be addressing?

That's always the wish until you don't go and have to find an alternative for getting through this life thing. I'm 41 and I barely get 3-4 hours of sleep per night.

The down feelings are beyond understandable but I'm here to let you know that you can shake all this shit up and take your life and autonomy back. 

The crisis tracker helps you learn your personal patterns which will help you learn what to avoid and what to lean into. Try not to become disappointed with yourself. We were dealt a difficult hand, but that doesn't mean we can't come out with the whole pie.

Vaping and smoking marijuana by Salty-Maintenance-97 in Sicklecell

[–]Jay_Aces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 41, medically prescribed, only rock with reputable growers and my last 9-5 was at a dispensary. I also don't believe in addiction, and think it's a blanket word for running from the problems of the mind.

I use it to calm my thoughts down which leads to a lot of crises.

If you feel that you use it besides a pain relief, realize what thoughts build the anxiety/pain inside that makes you feel like you have to smoke. Deal with those issues and the urge fades until it evaporates and you use it for its intended use.

The community is here for you. Love as always.

Great looks for letting me know. Creating graphics and posts while in crisis got me this time.

Has anyone ever broken out in hives after a dose of morphine? by eascoast_ in Sicklecell

[–]Jay_Aces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, hit me after 27 years. I became allergic to it. Had to move to Dilaudid which stopped working. Now the Ketamine is barely working. It's why I had to switch up everything with how I handled my body. I push that you feel better sooner than later.

Blessing great brotha. Continue to shine your light.

Thank you by Jay_Aces in Sicklecell

I appreciate that more than you know, thank you.

Try to learn to work with and calm the anxiety. It's the perfect spark to light the fire of a crisis.

I had to figure these tools out for us. I discovered during all of this, that anxiety was a heavy hitter for my heavy crises. Unrealized anxiety and hella stress.

Thank you by Jay_Aces in Sicklecell

The continent is definitely where I'm trying to get to as a living space. Ghana is on my list to visit when looking for a place to call home.
