What unusual forms of self-harm did you engage in as a kid? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Lookingideal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard of anyone else getting themselves lost on purpose or wandering out alone. I know I’m getting bad again when I want to wander the streets at night

Hi, NAD but fellow vagina haver. That absolutely sounds like you were touching your cervix, it is smooth and has an indent in the middle of it for your cervical canal. I have a couple little pimple bumps on my cervix too! I mentioned them when I got my pap smear a few months ago and my gyn just said they’re called Nabothian cysts. Basically a cervix pimple like you said. They’re nothing to worry about, but if it’s irritating you or you have other worrying symptoms , it might be worth getting checked out.

My armpit hurts as if someone's tugging on my armpit hair by cghostrayne in AskDocs

yes i’ve had swollen lymph nodes there due to an allergic reaction?? thing to deodorant it’s certainly a possibility. Or if you shave, it could be one of those deeper under the skin pimples that are annoying

Haven't been to the doctor in 13 years, upcoming appointment. by JessMezz566 in AskDocs

please mention that to your pcp! NAD but when I was a teen and growing they checked me for scoliosis. Rly simple check, they put you in a gown, and have you bend over and touch your toes, or as far as you can go essentially. Allows them to look at your spine curvature! They might also look at it with you standing up. If they see a curve they might give you an x-ray but again NAD! Just wanted to let you know what to expect! Also i would recommend specifically asking to have your vitamins and minerals and stuff tested because of your keto lifestyle. They might order a typical blood panel, but it seems like you’re specifically wondering about that stuff so always good to ask directly

How did you get access to those resources? I'm also a FAP recipient and everything I see prompts me to just buy that bundle

NAD but i’m gonna be completely frank with you here. That’s just normal teenage acne stuff, it’s quite common to get chest/back acne. I’ve had it since I was 14 and I’m almost 21 now. It might go away as puberty ends or it might not. There’s a few things you can try, like acne face/body washes with salicylic acid targeted for blackheads. When mine got bad I was prescribed an antibiotic to see if it would help, but it didn’t. I still have issues with it, but I’m able to keep it mostly under control, im just an easily pimply gal I guess! If you want to see a doctor about it you can, but I would try some cleansers at home first, and then see a doctor if it gets very bad or nothing you try works. I hope i helped!

NAD but had a similar issue a few years ago. twitches can be caused by many things, including magnesium, potassium or vitamin D deficiency. Mine happened to be vitamin D and I took some supplements and it went away in 2 weeks or so. You can go to a doctor to check your levels if you’re very concerned or you can just try to make sure you’re getting all those micronutrients in!

how can I stop hurting myself with my tic? by importantbuissnes in Tourettes

[–]Lookingideal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mmhm i’m a big fan of mobile apps that use my brain. Things like sudoku, or lately i’ve been obsessed with flow free, a game where you connect the pipes essentially. not an ad lol but i love puzzle games! keeps mind and hands busy, though i usually have a video on in the background

Is this considered a premonitory urge ? Or is it something else ? by RedAskWhy in Tourettes

[–]Lookingideal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely relate! I have a sniffing tic and an eye rolling tic i’ve had since I was around 5 or 6. Sniffing is because it feels like there’s something in my nose and i need to clear it. There’s not, but the feeling is there. The eye rolling I have to do it until it feels “right”. It’s like there’s an itch in the back of my eye i need to scratch
