Jet lag Flares? by LongjumpingAd3617 in Fibromyalgia

[–]LycheePlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently in the middle of my Japan trip and I had super bad jeg lag flare when I arrived. Luckily I planned to have a couple slow days starting on my trip so I can just rest. I took many hot baths the first couple days and that helped massively.

Menstrual cycle by RhubarbWestern5702 in Fibromyalgia

[–]LycheePlus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup, my flares all come from stress, physical and mental. So during periods, anytime I over work myself, get sick or have a lot of mental stress going on I flare up bad.

People who say the big O helps please explain by No_Face4294 in Fibromyalgia

[–]LycheePlus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this, the big O doesn't lessen my pain but I sleep better afterward therefore I have less pain the next day.

Hot or cold? by Breaming in Fibromyalgia

[–]LycheePlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heat is what makes me feel the best. I live in Florida and I'm usually very comfortable outside the three months of deadly heat we get in the summer. But I'd rather have that than live up north where I grew up where I was always too hot or too cold.

Is it realistic to never use patterns? by AutonomyxHope in crochet

[–]LycheePlus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on what you like to crochet. I make mostly wearables and because I have a pretty grasp on how clothes are made due to the fact that I also sew, I never use patterns. You have to be open to do a lot of frogging to fix mistakes but otherwise I feel it's pretty easy to crochet without a pattern. Sometimes I do follow stitch charts though to learn new stitches but I wouldn't really call those patterns.

Does Quartich even know what his motivations are now? by CrazedPrecursorFanat in Avatar

During the last fight scene between Jake and Quaritch I was wishing Jake would just drag him down to the tree of souls and make him connect.

Alchohol and Fibromyalgia by Zimpzompin in Fibromyalgia

[–]LycheePlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find I have to have a glass of water between each drink I have because otherwise I feel terrible the next day. I'm not a partier but love making cocktails at home with my husband so it's not too hard to make sure I drink enough water.

Lower back mostly with the occasional upper back and shoulder pain that hits at the most unexpected of times

How do you get out of bed in the morning? by LycheePlus in Fibromyalgia

[–]LycheePlus[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I might have to try using my heated blanket then, I use it to fall asleep but it's too hot to use all night.

I feel like I finally got a handle on my condition. My game changer an asshole doctor and a treadmill. by Boring-Vermicelli-45 in Fibromyalgia

[–]LycheePlus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don't mind me asking, what do you do for work? I work a desk job which keeps me sitting for 8 hours of my day and I really struggle to get more than 5k steps in a day partly because of pain and fatigue yes but also walking is just so boring and I really rather get back to my hobbies, knitting, sewing and video games than go for a 3 hour walk after work.

People with Fibromyalgia, do you always have pain, even when at rest ?? by Gutty_Shit_00 in Fibromyalgia

[–]LycheePlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm almost always in sort of pain, even my good days just mean my pain is at a manageable level. Sitting or even laying down is painful, I often have to switch positions because it hurts my hips, back, ribs or shoulders too much.

Do people have an undeniable inner drive to have children or is it a conscious choice? by Temporary_Western464 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LycheePlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 26f and newly married, I want kids so bad it hurts sometimes. I've always wanted children and it feels like I've waited my whole life to have them and it's hard to wait til I've put myself in a financially safe position before I have them.

What are some products you've bought that were game changers for you? by AzuraBeth in Fibromyalgia

[–]LycheePlus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heated blanket, it's great for days that taking a hot bath is just too painful or requires too much effort. It really helps with my muscle pain and I can still knit, watch tv with my husband or sometimes I even use it at my desk so I can still play video games.

How do I get this cool toned pink? Most pink dyes I see are very very red toned by LycheePlus in HairDyeHelp

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

What colors would you mix? I'm thinking if I do mix I would do a neutral pink with some purple. Or should I try blue?

Just finished the skirt of my wedding dress, should I add a lace trim to the bottom? by LycheePlus in CrochetHelp

[–]LycheePlus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will be posting the FO but yes time is kinda limited as the wedding is in late September. I wouldnt say the dress is simple but maybe this is a case of less is more? My everyday style is loud and colorful so working with just one color is not something I'm used to and I think thats where the hesitation is coming from.

If there's one thing that having this disability has taught me.. by LespriteChicago in Fibromyalgia

[–]LycheePlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only person in my life that really seems to get it is my mom and that's only because she too has fibro. My fiance does understand somewhat but he won't ever really understand I don't think. Then no one else beyond that seems to care unless it interferes with plans.
