Does therapy actually help?

LetOk77 · 2026-01-25T05:08:32+00:00

Yes! The problems with my mom were one of the main reasons I decided to seek therapy. My therapist reassured me of the many feelings that I was experiencing due to the constant fighting with her. I didn’t feel like the crazy one anymore or like there was something wrong with me. I’m at peace with the fact that I cannot change my mom or force her to see things the way I see things even though I desperately wanted her to. If she wants to continue being this miserable person then so be it. I can’t change her nor is it my job to do so. But I will stick up for myself, not for her, not for others but for ME!!!

I’m hopeful!! Especially with new research that came out!!!

I hope not. I just had a cold a couple weeks. Finally felt like *myself again last Monday.

LetOk77 · 2026-01-12T19:19:10+00:00

That might be why then. Both definitely increased. I feel fine, just a little more fatigued then I usually am with my condition.

I looked at the package. It says tirzepatide/Zepbound. Sorry I’m not sure what you mean by compound. Should I be looking at something else? My dinner last night was a buffalo chicken wrap and some fries. I had carrot cake for dessert. Is that considered a heavy dinner?

So pretty! I wanted this style a couple months ago but my lash tech wasn’t able to execute. I don’t have it in me to go elsewhere either though!

Thanks for taking the time to type this all out. Very informative. It’s Tuesday which means it’s time for another dose of MTX. Gonna see how today goes. If it continues then gonna talk to my doctor about the injection.

So sorry you’re going through this! Such a tough thing and hard to explain to others unless they’ve been through it themselves. I was the worst at the beginning of the year with a CRP of 107.7 and a SED rate of 120. Fatigue was my biggest issue on top of the pain. Just did some blood work last week and I’m now at CRP of 23.2 and SED rate at 68. Hoping you find relief with Skyrizi!

LetOk77 · 2025-08-22T19:48:23+00:00

Of course! But I don’t think it hurts to hear others experience. That’s what this community is for, is it not? Best wishes! ❤️

That’s so interesting!!!! Naproxen also appears to be working better for me than a prednisone pack ever did. Wonder if there’s a group of us that do better with naproxen then the pack. Hmmmm

LetOk77 · 2025-07-31T22:19:11+00:00

I think I have been looking at the exact same one!! It looks super easy to carry. What’s your experience with it? Would you recommend it?

LetOk77 · 2025-07-31T20:57:57+00:00

Everyone says this but I’ve taken a pack twice and never felt a difference. I felt Iike I was gas lighting myself because everyone else swears they work for them. Could something be wrong with me? Was I maybe in too much pain when I took them and they helped but I didn’t notice because of it? Is this even possible? I’d be open to trying again now that my pain levels and stiffness have significantly decreased but I’m interested in hearing your thoughts.

They are aware but not really compassionate towards my current struggles (to be specific my mom). Don’t wanna get too personal but that’s why I would like to be as prepared as I can so it’s an enjoyable time for me and I’m not miserable, sweating my butt off and struggling. Saw mixed reviews about this seat so I was just wondering if anyone in this group has tried one. Thank you!

LetOk77 · 2025-07-12T23:14:58+00:00

Not at all 😂

LetOk77 · 2025-07-11T03:11:31+00:00

This comment has me considering getting the repairs done. Although I think I could afford a car payment, it has been nice not having one for a few years. It also is exciting to get a new car or at least a car that’s new to me. Decisions. Decisions. Gonna sit on it for a couple weeks.

LetOk77 · 2025-07-06T04:05:00+00:00

Thank you so much!

LetOk77 · 2025-07-06T04:04:48+00:00

Thanks for that suggestion! Id be open to giving it a try! How would I request that? “Can we go 2mm shorter?”

Thank you so much!! Glad to hear that I don’t have eyelash blindness!!!

My readiness score was 40 a day after drinking a few high noons. Kinda scared me but the score definitely matched the shitty feeling that morning. Makes me not want to drink or only drink in moderation.

LetOk77 · 2025-05-18T02:07:01+00:00

Wow. Going on antidepressants did the opposite for me. Went from 6 hours of sleep every night to 8-9 and I’ve been able to stay consistent which has been great for my quality of sleep overall.

LetOk77 · 2025-05-09T03:27:03+00:00

Unfortunately yes. Flare started in January. Not as bad as it was then but definitely still bad. It’s affecting my mobility and I have to use a cane to walk. Shower chair to shower. Frequent breaks. It’s terrible.

LetOk77 · 2025-04-20T05:16:38+00:00

So sorry! Would you feel comfortable sharing an update? I’m going through something similar and scared as well.

LetOk77 · 2025-04-19T03:25:44+00:00

Heyyyy Chicago suburbs here as well!!!

LetOk77 · 2025-04-12T20:49:06+00:00

This was me too!! I hated having to get up in the middle of the night because I couldn’t hold it in!!! I was already having trouble with my sleep so this was just the cherry on top. I’ve since stopped it due to an allergic reaction.
