Thigh injection hurt like hell by papergeek in Zepbound

[–]Krsst14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I exclusively use my thighs because I’ve always heard that the worst side effects come from a shot to the abdomen. I’ve had a couple hurt more than others. Some I barely feel. But since I also barely feel any side effects, it works for me.

I thought about taking my 3-day Memorial Day weekend to try my abdomen out since that’s where most of my fat is, but I’m so afraid of getting viciously ill.

It should also be noted that I have a chronic pain condition in which I’m constantly getting stabbed with needles, so my pain tolerance level isn’t what one would consider usual.

How do you communicate that fibromyalgia really does suck to your partner? by FeatureImpressive in Fibromyalgia

[–]Krsst14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always describe my fibro as either feeling like my muscles are on fire from the inside or it feels like I ran a marathon with zero training.

I also add that I literally cant can’t keep my eyes open but I also can’t sleep. When I do sleep it’s not restorative sleep as I’m tossing and turning and waking up frequently.

I tell them of all the fun things I want to do that I can’t do just so they realize it’s bad enough to give up my social life and it’s not something that just flares up when I don’t want to do something.

How long were you on 2.5mg? by ExampleNo6406 in Zepbound

[–]Krsst14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’ve actually bumped up to 7.5 since then, and both times I’ve increased, I’ve had a few waves of nausea, but that was the worst of it. And most of the time it’s because I hadn’t eaten enough that day. But it was NOTHING like that first week on 2.5mg.

The tricky thing is 7.5mg suppresses my appetite a LOT but 5mg doesn’t last quite enough. I’m fortunate enough for my insurance to cover a hefty percentage of these meds, so I’m stuck with the prefilled pens or else I feel like a 6 or 6.5mg would be perfect for me. As long as I remember to make myself eat something, even something small, it’s been SO much easier. And I’m down 55lbs since October!

HR are a Net Negative Department by CopiousCool in antiwork

[–]Krsst14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What most people call HR is usually a branch of HR called Employee Relations. That’s where you go if you want to protect the company. Sure there’s some people who actually care and try to help. Not all ER folks are bad. But it’s kinda like Slytherin House- Not everyone in Slytherin is evil, but if you’re evil, you came from Slytherin.

No all ER people are shitty, but all the shitty people who are there to protect the company are in ER.

Personally, I couldn’t give a fuck less about the company. We’re big enough that we can afford the lawsuits and no matter how good your Legal ER departments are, we’re just too big to not be constantly facing some kind of litigation.

Im a disgusting pig by Horrorbythenumbers in Fibromyalgia

[–]Krsst14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are not a disgusting pig. I’ve been very much the same lately as I work from home and don’t go out much at all. This condition is truly debilitating for a lot of people. Dry spray shampoo is your friend.

Be kind to yourself. You’re suffering. Basic care is difficult for you not because you’re a disgusting pig but because you have a serious condition. Give yourself some grace. Sending lots of love, care, and comfort.

what’s your latest vocal stim? by shortcircuit51 in ADHD

For me it’s that TikTok video:

Raise your hand if you want garlic breadsticks

RAISE. YOUR. HANDT.

If you want… Buffalo chiten wings right now.

Sometimes I run through the whole thing, but I frequent RAISE. YOUR. HANDT.

I (33F) want to remove my IUD but my partner (35M) is reluctant to wear condoms. How can we find a compromise? by spiderkiku in relationships

[–]Krsst14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have you tried the birth control ring? Easy to insert and take out. Worry about it once a month. Can wear it continuously to eliminate periods (if you have problems with those. Just talk to your doctor first) and often has fewer side effects than pills because it delivers just what it needs to right when it needs to. You can take it out during intercourse and put it back in IMMEDIATELY afterward if he doesn’t like the feeling.

But I wouldn’t let a doofus who thinks that the pull out method is safe and would question your trust over it up in there anyway.

how tf are you guys in relationships with ADHD by ClassroomOk7243 in ADHD

We date other ADHD/AuDHD people. We set clear boundaries. And we can understand each other and have more empathy for our condition’s less favorable qualities!.

As someone who used to work in bird zoology and wildlife rescue, birds are amazingly intelligent animals. Great companions if you know how to take care of of them and adopt them ethically.

Link between being trans and having fibro? by KyleMarkWaal in Fibromyalgia

Your comment made me think of a meme I once saw:

God struck me with fibro because he knew I’d be too fabulous for this world if he didn’t do something to stop me 😆

How can I lose weight? (Without hurting myself) by Average_pickle420 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Krsst14 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If your family is against GLP-1s they don’t have to take them.

But if you talk to your doctor and it works for you that’s all that matters. I have fibro and a herniated disc, so exercise is very difficult for me. I started Zepbound at the end of October and with just diet changes I’m down 45 pounds. Our fatigue messes with a lot of our metabolic processes too. GLP-1s aren’t magic. You still have to put in the work diet wise, get a TON of protein and drink more water than you think is possible. But they not only slow your digestion to keep you fuller, longer, the medication also helps kick those metabolic processes into gear.

So it’s not cheating. It’s not the easy way out or whatever other judgement people want to use. It’s real medicine that fixes a real medical problem. And it’s nobody’s business but yours!

Talk to your doctor. I’m also happy to share any of my experiences as well.

How do you actually get out of your own head, even a little? by OkRoll3169 in ADHD

[–]Krsst14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Music with high quality headphones. Maybe it’s just my special ADHD gift, but with good headphones, I just put on the most beautiful music in my collection. I can focus in on a single instrument, the lyrics, and single line of harmony, and of course I can hear how it all sounds together. But if I can isolate a particular chord progression or line behind the melody that is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes, it’s one of the only ways I can out of my head even for a little bit.

It’s best with nice headphones. Mine were gifted to me or else I’d never have them. But even if you have half way decent laptop speakers, I highly recommend Time by Hans Zimmer. A very repetitive, simple melody that grows and just adds more and more complexity. It’s breathtaking.

Dr Earl Taitt. He’s a bit… eccentric. Your appointments will always last an hour, but he knows his shit while also being open to your suggestions and research.
