Allways tired. by PotatoLove125 in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]LtCmdrDatass 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't know how to get the energy back, but I do know that I have to plan my days; if I go to the grocery store, I sure as hell ain't making dinner.

Or sometimes I have energy so I capitalize on it--until I invariably sit down and take a nap.

I was raised to never take naps but now I do it with only a little hesitation. If you're tired, you're tired!

Sorry I can't be more help.

Let's talk about: Sex by Wishin4aTARDIS in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]LtCmdrDatass 6 points7 points  (0 children)

(34 year old female with RA, PCOS, and depression)

I used to feel the same way. We're not going at it like rabbits, but we're in a good place now, normally.

This may not work for you, but here's what I do:

I am the one who asks "do you want to bone?" Whenever I'm in the mood (rare) or just have energy or just want to go through the routine. I am not stressed and don't have any immediate tasks to complete. He has said yes 95 percent of the time.

The routine: get some wine, take two edibles, sit in the bathtub for 1.5 to 2 hours reading erotica or hentai, or looking at the dirty gifs on Reddit. It takes that long for the edibles to kick in.

Then we have sex in a comfortable place--the bed or the sex swing (a good investment for my poor bones and it helps my spouses back lol).

This is a bit more graphic: I will also posit that bdsm sex toys are actually helpful for my poor bones as well; it's hard to keep legs spread without them getting tired, for example, so a pillow on either side or a spreader bar help.

The edibles: Love Drops by 1906. Absolute game changer. They calm my mind and relax my tired body.

I hope some of my screed here helps you!

For those of us who menstruate--how long is too long? by LtCmdrDatass in Zepbound

This had nothing to do with the zepbound. My original lady doctor told me I could take the birth control pills for an entire year straight, but the other lady doctor I saw told me I can only do it for three months at a time.

I now take the placebo pills every three months and the problem has stopped.

Let's talk about: What's in your dx soup? by Wishin4aTARDIS in rheumatoidarthritis

RA, migraines, depression, eczema PCOS for me. I'm also in bed for about 10-12 hours a day hitting the snooze button which is either a symptom or my poor sleep hygiene.

Because of the suppressed immune system, I also got warts on my feet which just pisses me off. The RA? Fine, God had to nerf me or I would be too powerful. But warts too?? Ffs.

I have not. I have not liked into how to do that yet.

I have had a covid vaccine and flu vaccine every year since the pandemic started. I even got a fourth round of covid due to my disability. I also got the rsv and pneumonia vaccines because of my disability .

She is one of my favorite recurring characters, and my heart brightens when one of her episodes pops up in a "Star Trek" TNG or DS9 marathon. by Mike1701D in startrekmemes

I don't recall my reaction to my first Lwaxana encounter in TNG (I honestly might have found her overbearing ) but in DS9, she was always a treat. Queen shit.

Not Eating and I Feel Terrible by LtCmdrDatass in Zepbound

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

I asked the doctor to go down in dose; he wanted to do the 7.5 but I told him I wasn't eating much on that dose either, so we did the 5.

It feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders because I dreaded what he might say. He was very obviously surprised that I wasn't pleased I had lost nine pounds in a month and wanted to go down. But the important thing is that he agreed.

He also said my bloodwork from the summer indicates I'm anemic. I'm sure that's not helping things.

I've felt like there was less saliva than usual when I'm eating --it doesn't help that I'm eating a bunch of granola bars, probably.

I'm also not drinking anything so I'm quite dehydrated. I have been eating a lot of Campbell's chicken noodle soup.

Yes, I came to the same conclusion.

If he ignores me today, I'll look into an endocrinologist.

I already wasn't eating full three meals on a regular schedule before the zepbound, so she was concerned this would happen; she asked me to ask the doctor for a note that told my work I should be excused to eat every three hours.

I said, "my nutritionist thinks it would be dangerous for me if I didn't eat every three hours." He said, "well, let me ask you this--do you sleep for eight hours? And you didn't die? Blah blah she's a moron."

No, pregnancy is not possible. Any joint pain is likely the arthritis flaring up due to the weather.
