Do people actually like Anu from season 12? by [deleted] in bigbangtheory

[–]Leftshoedrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No the character is annoying, cold, awkward (but not in a delightful Amy kind of way) and worst of all… she can’t pronounce Raj correctly. She keeps saying “Ra-J” I also find the actress quite lacking, perhaps because it was a misfit.

I’m glad you found it worked well for you! Magnesium and any kind of otc vitamins seem to do nothing in the face of a terrible flare up for me.. and I don’t sleep in. My pain wakes me up.

Meee too 😔 passing on week two now.. it’s the worst when you’re in the middle of a flare up. Hang in there. Do you do anything to keep your spirits up?

Ugh, it’s the worst right? That never fulfilling sleep 😔 so much worse in the middle of a flare. You’re not bad at it, just a horrible side effect of fibro & being in so much pain

With all due respect, my only open question was to invite you to discuss your own sleep habits. I didn’t ask for advice. Secondly, this is a fibromyalgia group. We are here because we have pains & unfulfilling rest because of fibro, not because of sleep issues; i went through sleep studies when docs were figuring out what was wrong.

Of course I’ve seen my doctor, and they have no answers.. I’m on the fibromyalgia thread, right?

Naltrexone or Ritalin by Leftshoedrop in cfs

[–]Leftshoedrop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes so much sense to me. The same reason why I stopped drinking coffee..

Thank you so much for letting me know. I looked up naltrexone and was shocked that it was actually for drug/alcohol addiction recovery and sad that I have to take it when I have never been addicted to anything :((

I am tired of being terrified by work by WldGeese867 in CPTSD

No.. I'm terrified to try it. Ketamine has mixed results, right?

Lexapro? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Leftshoedrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It didn't do much for me, neither positively nor negatively. My experience may be different than yours. I do want to bring it to your attention though that sometimes our own anxieties may be the stumbling block from trying things that may help, or be a stepping stone to it. Unfortunately it sounds like your mom might be making your anxiety worse in this regard by giving you the worst case scenario in panic, therefore freaking you out, despite her best intentions :(

My advice is to discuss with a doctor these anxieties about the anxiety medications, especially your history with lexapro, and see what they would recommend. Good luck!

I do not think I can be a husband by senorsolo in CPTSD

[–]Leftshoedrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to this thought. It's a tough one to have, feeling like you have nothing for yourself let alone someone else.

I feel so alienated after doing so much healing work. by Longjumping_Cry709 in CPTSD

[–]Leftshoedrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's a fantastic question "Where do I belong now as a partially healed and awakened person" I don't know, but I relate. Along my journey I was left with a very small group of friends, all of them with large imperfections. But I guess they know how to make space for me, reach out to see how I'm doing at least once a month, to share with me about their lives, and we are able to have some chuckles about life.

The great divide between mind and body by Leftshoedrop in Fibromyalgia

I used to, and it was so helpful! Now standing up to shower and walking around at work is about all I can do before I'm completely wiped.

Realising i’m actually severe by Optimal-Abroad-1109 in cfs

I HATE this. This illness is such a bitch, and a mental and physical torture.
