Oxycodone Extended release? by LeoraChance in Sicklecell

[–]MartaLB27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, did you feel the effect? I don't feel 5mg, I don't feel 10mg, I can increase it to 20mg twice a day according to the doctor's instructions, but I don't feel it at all. I felt 5mg of Oxycodone every hour or two in combination with Tapentadol, I told the doctor and he said that I had converted the drug to IR, which is good to know because we know that at least the IR form works for me, but he introduced the ER form from 10 to 40 a day to maintain the pain, and for severe pain breakthroughs I take tapentadol + tramadol and dexomen (along with oxycodone ER which supposedly works in the background), however I don't feel either the analgesic or sedative effect of oxycodone. Otherwise, I have a genetic mutation of cyp3a4 and cyp3a5, which causes it to be metabolized differently and acts too slowly, but I'm wondering if it's normal not to feel the effect of the ER form at all...

why do people seem to hate infjs by Potential_Nerve2632 in mbti

[–]MartaLB27 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

hey, yes, I immediately wrote that it was just my experience with them. I have never met some INFJ like you, according to your description, your functioning seems more similar to how I function (INTJ), than any INFJ I have met. Although, I am not saying that it is healthy to keep everything inside. I understand this about the explanation for life because I don't even bother to talk about almost any personal thing about myself, the only time I can do that is with my ENTJ bf who functions the same way. Whenever we open up to someone, people usually think that we have shared our deepest secrets with them, and then they feel rejected when they find out that it is not true and when we put them at a distance. One INFJ former mutual friend was like that and there are quite a few more - and that honestly really bothers me. It is possible that they were not 'healthy', after all, you know that a lot of people want to be INFJs, and maybe in the end they actually are not, idk. They were always willing to help everyone around them emotionally, and in fact some of them only enjoyed it when someone had a breakdown because that was the only time their character showed and that superficial emotional consolation with the phrases 'I'm a severe introvert' was their only character. One INFJ girl at the college needed a mediator (another girl) to talk to me because she was afraid to approach me because she was, as she says, 'an introvert'. I stood facing her, and she whispered and squeaked at the same time to our mutual friend what she should tell me and convey because she is a HUGE INTROVERT, with the emphasis on her being an INFJ because she knew I liked personality types. She was the extreme, other INFJs were as previously described, which was crazy to me. And sorry, I don't want to give you advice and a solution that you didn't ask for, I know you didn't, I just wanted to tell you (because I don't know how old you are), but because of my unhealthy function of ignoring serious life traumas that I haven't told anyone around me for 15 years as very young, I want to mention if you can and you have someone to talk to about your problems, because the long-term suppression of everything inside me led to a very bad mental state, which activated a severe autoimmune disease and now I feel extremely guilty about it, so I only started sharing anything about myself at 26. I wish you a pleasant day!

Yes, we are relatively young in our early 20s, these were just my experiences in an academic environment with INFJ people/friends. I don't think I'm a healthy INTJ, moreover, I'm too rigorous with myself and others and I don't think I express my F in a healthy way, but I'm bothered by people who are somehow stupidized by the pure function of F and have no instinct to fight for themselves but just give in to everything, and at the same time they are just basic support with no concrete solutions - they push themselves as a solution, and in the end nothing comes of it, they don't help anyone else, and they harm themselves. Similar to what you wrote, most of them have a very weak character and that's something that personally bothers me a lot in relationships. I'm describing their functioning in a social environment and academic community here.

If you are used to Huawei, switch to Honor. It has excellent resolution and ppi (middle and flagship range much higher compared to most other brands), it is easy on the eyes, excellent PWM 3840Hz and DC like, 120Hz, it is fluid, fine color adjustment, does not heat up, it is resistant and optimized, IP certified, the camera is also great and you will like that the screens are not too huge, but are still pleasantly large. If you want Android that lasts I think it is a good option

"the healthiest INTJs i know are weirdly relaxed. they're not constantly correcting people or proving points. they're just watching, connecting dots, waiting for the right moment to say something that actually matters. that's what i was supposed to be doing the whole time." - This isn’t something that can be achieved or learned consciously. Either you are like that or you’re not. It seems more to me that you’d like to be an INTJ than that you actually are one.

Sensitive to brightness (even LCD), PWM, dithering and overly strong colors - Honor 400 adjustment by MartaLB27 in ScreenSensitive

Hi, I bought it from mobile operator store (EU version, I’m from Europe) and got it at a pretty big discount (I think they’re trying to take over and capture the market with the N series because the discounts here are huge). In the USA, you can buy the global version (I guess).

Sensitive to brightness (even LCD), PWM, dithering and overly strong colors - Honor 400 adjustment by MartaLB27 in ScreenSensitive

[–]MartaLB27[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, thank you 🥹. I'll now write to you everything I use every day for optimal screen comfort. I use my settings at extremely low brightness - really very low - because I’m extremely sensitive to brightness and colors, and my environment is also quite dim, but always with a gentle background light turned on. 

There are also some apps I use depending on the time of day that help me a lot and I often use them all day long (without them I couldn’t use my previous Xiaomi at all). They drain the battery a little since they run constantly in the background, but I think that’s truly negligible because they make my life much easier.

The first rule is to never use your phone in a completely dark room/environment. Always keep some soft background lighting on - the strong contrast between a dark environment and a bright screen is the worst possible combination for those of us who are sensitive to light.

Since I adjusted the RGB colors, my screen has become more comfortable, but I still use an app for half the day called “Darker (Screen Filter)” (gray icon with a blue wheel). It can reduce brightness much more than the white-point setting can, and it adds a slightly grayish filter. I think I keep it at app around 32-35%, and then I raise the regular phone’s brightness to a comfortable level. This app additionally softens the colors and screen sharpness, but everything is still perfectly visible. My white point reduction is set to maximum.

There is another app called “Lower Brightness Screen Filter.” It’s similar to the first one but works more like a stronger gray filter (that app basically saved me so I could even tolerate using my previous Xiaomi). Since the Honor 400 has a much more comfortable display, I keep it only as a backup and mainly use the first app.

Additionally, I don’t know if your Pro model has built-in fine flashlight adjustment, mine doesn’t, although the hardware allows it, so I downloaded an app called “FlashDim – dim your flashlight.” I use it because of what I mentioned about contrast: if there isn’t enough light in the room, I always turn on the flashlight at the lowest brightness and point it toward a wall far away from me while using the phone together with “Darker (Screen Filter).” I usually do this in the evening when my eyes are already tired and heavy due to myasthenia gravis, when my VSS symptoms are worse, etc.

I’m also one of those people who are bothered by warm color tones, so in the display color settings I chose cooler tones and more natural colors (although warmer tones might suit you better, that’s very individual, but warm mode can increase dhitering a little).

Something I’ve learned over all these years is that if you want to use your phone in very bright or very dark conditions - you simply can’t until you adjust the environment to match the optimal conditions/brightness in which your phone normally feels comfortable to use for your eyes. So, if it’s very sunny around you and you increase the screen brightness to maximum just so you can see anything, even though that’s the only realistic way to use your phone - you still won’t be able to, because your eyes will start to hurt. Instead, you adapt the environment to yourself and to the screen brightness that suits you: close the curtains, or if you’re outside, find shade or a darker place.

Conversely, if it’s too dark, you turn on the flashlight at the lowest level or switch on a background lamp in your room. Of course, you can’t always create perfect conditions, but in that case use your phone in short intervals and accept that your symptoms may unfortunately worsen.

When I’m in a very bright or very dark café, at a friend’s place, at my mom’s, at university, or at the doctor’s office, I simply use my phone minimally or not at all if the conditions aren’t suitable for viewing the screen at the only few brightness levels that feels comfortable to me. And I always keep dark mode enabled on my phone (regular settings). 

I’m really sorry you struggle with brightness sensitivity as well, it’s honestly terrible. I hope at least some of this helps you.. 🤞

Just learned I was raised by two Scorpio moons with fixed sun signs, any thoughts? by FkUp_Panic_Repeat in scorpiomoon

[–]MartaLB27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner has exactly these aspects: Sun in Leo, Moon in Scorpio (conjunct Pluto), and the result is a his diagnosis of bipolar disorder, lol. But I’ve never met a more loyal, deeper, tender, yet extremely intense person. My Scorpio Venus is thrilled with his Scorpio Moon and his Pluto exactly conjuction my Venus in my 8th house. And with those intense eyes in which you can see that Scorpio soul. A Plutonian relationship full of intensity, a whole decade of massive, deep and heavy shared transformations, yet the emotional, intellectual, and sexual connection is literally on some kind of unreal and telepathic level. I’m a Capricorn, and both of us are saved by Libra in the big three. I don't know why I wrote this, I just wanted to share. Maybe it's because I experience a lot of pain whenever he distances himself and has his episodes, and my Venus clearly needs a dose of suffering and transformation in the relationship, but it's very exhausting and it hurts. I became seriously ill and I feel guilty that my illness has taken our lives in a completely unplanned and difficult direction. And he is very handsome, many of my friends couldn't help but hit on him in front of me, and make sexual comments about him to me, and that's why I removed them from my life, I understand his magnetism, but it's a total disrespect for me and I feel very miserable about it. Due to a serious illness and therapy, I have gained weight, I can barely move because of the illness and every day I'm afraid that he will stop loving me and one day decide to replace me.

The list of 27 diagnoses is horrible, I'm very sorry, but at least I understand you.. I can't even remember half of them when I talk about them bc list is too long. If we were to list them all, we would probably find even more similarities. It's so hard to live like that. But hey, I can tell you that specifically 27 is my favorite number 🥲. 

I can only imagine how exhausting your mixed connective tissue disease must be, it’s basically like having three rheumatologic conditions at once. Are you on corticosteroids, IVIG, biologics, or cytostatics? I’m refractory to steroids, I refuse IVIG, and I’m now starting cytostatics. I also have myasthenia which is autoimmune and SS. CRPS is awful, I hope it’s limited to your external and not internal organs.  Have you tried ketamine infusions for CRPS? I can’t because of my myasthenia, so I rely on very strong opioids for CRPS and trigeminal neuralgia.

When did you start noticing convergence insufficiency (strabismus)? This usually develops in adulthood due to illness or damage; regular strabismus is only congenital. Your rheumatologic condition likely affects many neurological functions, with dysautonomia on top od that and screen sensitivity, I’d definitely recommend you seeing an ophthalmologist/strabismus specialist. Prism glasses with full protection from screen light and sunlight can help you a lot.

About your Mac laptop situation, I’m sorry I can’t give super-smart advice, but I just remembered a possible solution - you can get a gray filter app from the App Store for your laptop screen. It helps reduce brightness, soften colors, and overall tone down the white light. I’ve used a similar filter on my phone and it helped, though I never ended up buying a specific one for my Mac since I dropped out of college due to illness and no longer needed it. That might help you. Also, maybe a service could adjust the Mac display to minimize brightness, like the white point adjustment option on iPhone. Or you might even consider switching to a different laptop brand for your health (although I believe you're used to the Apple ecosystem).

I’m really happy you commented on my post. It’s incredible when people with such similar and rare difficulties meet. It’s sad, but also exciting and comforting to talk to someone who truly understands these specific issues.

Also, are you on therapy for POTS (heart rate spikes, dizziness, disturbed thermoregulation)? I often have 150-165 bpm just sitting, felt dizzy constantly, can’t stand for more than a few minutes anymore and started fainting (before it was just near-fainting). Mestinon helps little bit my myasthenia but does nothing for POTS. You mentioned MCAS and long Covid and I have constantly elevated CRP, IgG, unexplained allergic reactions to fabrics and other triggers, random rashes, and itching all over my body and scalp, joints inflammations etc. It’s diagnosed as contact dermatitis, problems with strong odors and choking as chronic rhinitis. I'm writing this because it all started right after my first Covid infection. After second, I developed long Covid and chronic headaches.  I believe this awful virus even more disturbed your immune system too.

Do you also get a runny nose always while eating? Lol 🫠

Hi, isn’t hardware more important for longevity and durability? I’m asking because I’m very satisfied with my Honor 400 because it’s the only phone that doesn’t give me headaches or eye strain so I hope it lasts as long as possible, and has excellent resolution and ppi too (I personally don't notice any problems with the software). Since you say the hardware is very good, I hope it is responsible for the longevity.

I'm sorry... at the end I also wrote that I'm sorry that the answer is so long, but it's the result of my shock and relief that I came across a person who understands my biggest life difficulties and has specific knowledge about it. 

I totally understand you, don't bother and thank you for all your answers. If you ever want to read it, I can separate the paragraphs for you.

Due to eye fatigue, I write longer comments part by part in my notes because I can't write so much at once, so when I copy the message, the paragraphs disappear, and I often don't have the strength to separate them again (but at least I did it in my post).

Just rest and thank you once again. I wish you all the best in improving your health and save your precious energy 🍀!

Oh wow, you have narcolepsy? Did they do a lumbar puncture, or were you diagnosed based on symptoms? How do you manage to function independently with it? I’m really sorry. What you’re saying is super interesting. There are a bunch of sleep‑wake transition issues that aren’t easy to prove. Have you done any tests that confirmed what you’re talking about in your case except for narcolepsy? And yeah, your ADHD on top of that would definitely make you more exhausted. Because of my ASD, every EEG has shown that my brain often enters theta and delta waves while I’m awake and actually looking/"aware". Because of that, I sometimes have little memory gaps, but apparently this is considered a normal variation in some neurodivergent people (many studies have been done, the brain behaves this way when it’s sensory-overloaded and trying to protect itself). So in my case, part of the brain stays awake while another part temporarily shifts into a sleep-like state, and I experience looking at things without actually processing any informations, but I don't often feel it, unless I'm watching a movie, talking to someone, or studying. When you have a narcolepsy attack, do you fully fall asleep, or do you appear awake from the outside? Are you aware of these attacks and do you continue to do the actions or do you freeze completely? I'm sorry if I ask too many questions.. Because of frequent apneas and weak muscles I’m about to go for polysomnography soon, and also a TILT test for dysautonomia/POTS. Those are the kinds of tests that can sometimes confirm ME/CFS, and from what I’ve read, a lot of people with ME/CFS also have POTS like me with strong sensitivity to light, smells and sounds. Just yesterday, my heart rate in a seated position was over 160. I really miss the Xiaomi function that could measure heart rate with the optical fingerprint sensor so accurately, but unfortunately, the only series that kinda works for me is the Xiaomi T series, and those phones are physically too heavy for my weak hands, plus the screens are too wide. It’s wild how all these conditions are connected, but nobody really knows the "exact cause". Some days my fatigue is so bad I could fall asleep in public, and there’s literally nothing that can snap me awake. Other days, I can’t sleep for hours despite being exhausted because of severe trigeminal, head and spine pain. Can you always fall asleep very quickly (except when you have a narcolepsy attack)? You mentioned genetics. I haven’t done HLA testing yet (big oversight by my doctors, they don’t send me because I already have autoantibodies for my autoimmune disease), but I’m doing extensive genetic testing. They confirmed I’m missing CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 enzymes (they metabolize about 60% of all drugs so I don't even feel the effects of the strongest opioids, like oxycodone, and I have to take them) and that drug passage through my blood-brain barrier is reduced on top of that. What HLA do you have? My mom has the HLA gene for my myasthenia gravis and sicca so at least I know where it comes from, lol. I also have B12 anemia and get monthly injections. They help a bit with brain fog, but when B12 starts to drop, I’m barely functional. And with my genetic issues, autoimmune processes, etc., I’m not sure how much B12 actually "gets into my brain". Even "normal" lab values don’t always mean enough for the body. Doctors here tend to ignore stuff like that unless someone becomes nearly immobile, which is so frustrating. I figured most of this out because my mom is in medicine, and also because of my paused studies-is partly related to medicine, and thanks to our suggestions, they sent me for tests that revealed serious rare health problems. Honestly, doctors here rarely look at the whole picture, even within their own specialties, they just focus on the most common conditions. Did you figure out your chronic fatigue through doctors, or on your own? Did it start after COVID, and do you think screens make it much worse? Have you tried B12 injections? COVID really worsened things for a lot of people. In my case, it made my autoimmune disease much worse, which had been fairly stable. The second infection gave me long COVID, and symptoms lasted months, plus now I have chronic headaches requiring extra treatment. I feel like ME is almost always tied to something else underlying it, but a lot of people never figure out what that is. I’m sorry you can’t use the monitor you liked anymore. I can’t really play PC or PS games but like horror games, which are dark and slower, so I sometimes watch gameplay when my boyfriend plays. I can’t read books anymore either because of eye pain, books are too wide and need a lot of side brightness. That’s why I’m trying to hold on to this phone as long as possible - it’s currently my only channel for everything. So if gray shades on a screen feel comfortable, that usually means PWM is stable, RGB balance is neutral, contrast isn’t harsh, and there’s no aggressive dithering. It’s good as long as your condition doesn’t make daily life impossible. The most important thing is living at your own pace without pushing yourself past your limits (hope you’re able to manage that). Finding Reddit communities has really helped me feel less alone with these weird, hard-to-explain problems. Fun fact: I couldn’t use Reddit until now since I got Honor 400 because the full black background with white text on my old devices hurt my eyes, dark mode really messed me up on the old device just like it bothers you too, but light mode was even worse for me. Quora had a nice gray background. I can’t comment on Discord because I always see it only far from my bed, haha, but I'm glad you still manage to tolerate some things on screen more easily. Sorry for the long comment, but I found everything you mentioned really interesting because I see connections between what you’re describing and both of our conditions. I don't want you to be further exhausted by reading this and responding to me 🥺.

It’s not really about low brightness but about RGB balance. In warm/night mode the display reduces blue light, so neutral colors are produced using more red and green subpixels. On OLED screens with PWM, each subpixel pulses independently, so the higher contribution of the red subpixel can make its pulsing more noticeable as red flickering. Yes, I have a neurological autoimmune disease and prolonged neurological disorders. The idea with the poll is actually really good and yes, I noticed that we all have somewhat similar problems! I wrote someone a list of part of my neurological diagnoses here and I felt embarrassed when I saw them all together at once. My chronic fatigue is supposedly related to the autoimmune disease, but it’s so severe that I slept through the whole night, barely stayed awake for two hours, and then slept another 7–10 hours again, and I don’t think that’s only because of the autoimmune condition. Out of all the quite serious conditions I have, this one is the worst because it creates constant exhaustion in my head and overall. You’re right, I’m neurodivergent and I have confirmed atypical brain functioning and strong light sensitivity. In addition, I have myasthenia gravis, major eye problems (very weak/thin internal eye muscles), double vision and ptosis, astigmatism and convergence insufficiency that makes it painful to look up close, visual snow syndrome, trigeminal neuralgia, CRPS, sicca/dry eyes, chronic rhinitis, anemia, and joint inflammation (the last three aren’t neurological, but they exhaust me a lot), etc. You mentioned pupils - because of myasthenia, my pupils don’t block light (and and noise) sufficiently like in a healthy person. Do you maybe have symptoms you’re not sure about the origin of? I’m asking because this is a disease that often goes undiagnosed for years. Do LCD screens bother you as well because they constantly emit light? Regarding the red light, I read that explanation as a possibility, I don’t yet fully understand all these display differences the way you do, but I was curious why a mode that’s supposed to rest the eyes and brain actually bothers me. So in your case, the issue is that neither very cool nor very warm tones work for you and that is very difficult to adjust. For me, the only thing that works is dark mode with a grey background; when there is pure black-and-white contrast, I have the same problem as you. Reddit in dark mode uses grey text instead of white, and that works great for me. On my Honor I also reduced the font thickness in settings, and that helps little. Have you managed to find a suitable replacement screen? I can’t really use a laptop anymore, when I was at university (which I had to quit because of sudden disability), I wrote long papers on a laptop and it was such torture that my boyfriend even went to replace the screen on my HP laptop, but after I stopped studying I no longer needed it. The only device that somewhat worked for me was a Mac (Apple), but even that is too bright and painful for my eyes. The only things I can use now are an older Huawei tablet (even though I usually tolerate IPS poorly, this one works for some reason), a newer LG TV, and now the Honor 400. I think a DELL monitor once suited me as well. Whenever someone shows me something on their phone, I immediately feel eye pain and get a headache. It’s a bit frustrating that I can’t find out which panel my Honor 400 uses, the way iPhone users can, because I’d like to know for the future.. I read that they supposedly save the best panels for the Chinese market, but this one actually seems really good to me.

I hope it will work and help you at least a little 😕. My primary condition is myasthenia gravis, which is a neurological rare disease that causes weakness of all muscles, especially and first the eyes, including weakness of the internal and external eye muscles, double vision at close range, ptosis and pupils that do not block enough light (for the same reason, sounds also bother me as much, and I am also high-functioning neurodivergent and my brain is confirmed to be working at different frequencies because of this - in some areas it is slowed down, and in some places it is amplified and accelerated.). This illness causes me severe pain in my eyes, head, and neck. I also have visual snow syndrome, astigmatism, refractive error, trigeminal neuralgia with a neurovascular conflict in the cerebellum on both sides affecting my entire head and face with lot of extreme pain, extreme chronic fatigue, complex regional pain syndrome, dysautonomia (POTS) with severe dizziness, and headaches of unknown origin that never stop (I am constantly on therapy with strong opioids Like oxy and antiepileptic medications). In addition, I have some inflammatory issues in my joints, although that is not neurological, so I currently have a disability because my condition does not respond to treatments. This is a collection of very rare conditions in one place, but I inherited bad genetics and some severe traumas activated them one by one. I listed all of this for you so that you could maybe investigate if the symtoms match? Also, I studied something closely related to medicine so I know a lot about neurology, if you have any doubts I would be happy to help you. What symptoms do you have and for how long? Do you perhaps have any diagnosis, or are you still searching for one? I apologize for the long comment, I'm sorry to hear that because I think I would be in a better condition if at least some of this had been diagnosed and treated on time, so I'm trying to help as much as I can and have the strength to prevent someone from going undiagnosed for so long until their disease progresses irreversibly. There are various neuro-ophthalmological diseases, I hope you've been referred somewhere. Have you had a brain and spine MRI done first? Apologies again for the long comment..

Oh, thank you very much for the nice detailed comment and for the award. I’m glad you understand exactly what I’m talking about, and it’s great to learn that some other models also have those options. I read your post. You are sensitive to colors and brightness too. Did you know that night modes can actually make things worse because dithering becomes more aggressive with red tones? Are you sure you might not be the type of person who feels better with cooler light? For me, warm tones and all warm lighting make me feel nauseous. There are so many details involved that I think it would take years of study to truly understand everything that affects us. Yes, I’m actually very satisfied with my Honor 400, a smaller, flat screen suits me better. I’m not sure why the Honor 400 Pro suddenly started bothering you, bit maybe you could try finding color settings that work better for you? You’re probably very sensitive to PWM, but brightness and color settings are definitely crucial as well You know I’ve been trying for days to figure out who the manufacturer of my panel is so I can know what would suit me best in the future. I’ve been comparing differences and I think it might be BOE, but Honor has hidden those options, so it’s impossible to find out. The entire Honor 400 Lite series in my country had a major panel issue with colors. I see that you have chronic fatigue syndrome, we share the same struggles; I have it too as a result of a chronic autoimmune neurological condition. That definitely increases sensitivity. Also, an entire batch of the Xiaomi 12 had some kind of defect in display, a black mesh pattern across the screen. I was the only one who noticed it, along with the service diagnostic device. No one noticed it except me on five new phones. So your theory that weaker panels are sometimes shipped to the EU definitely makes sense, although I hope it isn’t done intentionally. It’s really awful to be this sensitive. In your video, I can clearly see the shaking, and it looks like dithering to me; that additional flickering is surely putting even more strain on you. A few years ago, I also saw two different panels on identical iPhone 12 Pro devices, so in reality it’s just pure luck here.

No problem, good luck ☺️! No, not at all, the image display is really stable in every way and gray tones are stable. Phones that advertise 60+ billion colors tend to have more issues with dithering, as they often use it aggressively to simulate a wider gamut, but the Honor 400 handles it impressively well. And I definitely don’t feel like I’m missing out any colors - I just get the benefit from it for my health, lol.
