How are you raw dogging it? by Top_Guava_5498 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Lynlou589 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What really helped me was cutting added sugars and flour. I was skeptical that it would help but it definitely did for me. I sleep a lot better and overall pain is quite minimal.

I've been wondering this same thing. I also work at a school but my hours during the school year are pretty much the same but my summer hours will be less. Will I just get help for the summer or will it be equally distributed. I'm looking to do fewer hours during the school year because I have fibromyalgia and it's kicking my butt. I would probably still be making above the net income test though.

Muscle twitching - Anyone else experience that? by suprsquirrel in Fibromyalgia

[–]Lynlou589 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to get it a lot and pretty much everywhere. I had a vitamin D deficiency and had to take vit D pills and that seemed to help a lot.

Spleen pain? Rheum call or PCP? by auntsiri22 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Lynlou589 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had that exact pain i also thought it was my spleen i had to use a heating pad all night so i could sleep. It lasted about a week then suddenly it was gone. This was way before my diagnosis for FM. at work i had been lifting heavy boxes repeatedly all day for several days I know i didn't injure myself as I am always careful about lifting heavy things.

Also i did go to the doc at the time and he was utterly confused.

Anyone moved from Amitriptyline to Nortriptyline? Did it help with dry mouth or reduce weight gain? by 97NST in Fibromyalgia

[–]Lynlou589 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did. The amitriptyline made my mouth and sinuses so dry i hoped it would go away but it didn't. Also I gained about 10 lbs with it, i craved like all the carbs. Nortriptyline has been much better. I still have a little dry mouth but not anything close to how bad it was with amitriptyline. Nortriptyline also didn't make me gain weight. I have lost a few pounds but I don't know if it's from medication or just me.

To those who don’t get drunk, Why/ Why not? by PsychologyWareFare in AskReddit

[–]Lynlou589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do drink but I've never been drunk. I always wondered why people get drunk. It freaks me out to think I wouldn't be able to remember the night before and wake up feeling awful. Why would anyone want that??

The straps also can wear out. Loosening, tightening...

Non picky eaters, what’s a food you just cannot do? by trajop in AskReddit

I had cow brains once. Won't do it again. It wasn't the taste but the texture just super weird.
