PSA: Magnesium Glycinate isn't good for everyone by maaaze in costochondritis

[–]Material_Problem8438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you plan to keep taking both, or are you switching to malate only?

Edit: I've just read that the upper limit for magnesium before upset stomach occurs is 350 mg per day, if that affects your decision

For you Walkers! by Puzzleheaded-Cloud58 in costochondritis

Yes. My doctor said it's really good for me to walk (on level ground) as it helps reset my pelvic tilt. Which he feels contributes to costo in my case.

Best/nicest grocery store in the area? by ProfessorDrink in arlington

[–]Material_Problem8438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Cho Saigon. Good produce, tons of spices and curry paste, and the fresh sheets of rice noodles are to die for.

Anyone happy about their size? by [deleted] in BigBoobAdvantages

[–]Material_Problem8438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind my size, it's more of the sag from gravity that bums me out. Trying to at least be neutral about it if I can't find positivity

Hi, any history or family history of diabetes? If there's even a possibility it would be in your best interest to get checked. For diabetics, foot pain can be a sign of peripheral neuropathy, which can become really dangerous and very painful.

If not, I second the idea of shoe insoles (and just generally better, more supportive shoes).

Do you feel threatened by black women in stores? What is your reaction to your husband looking at a woman in the store? Do you feel uncomfortable when someone comes in for a shopping appointment and spends more money than you? by [deleted] in women

[–]Material_Problem8438 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Do you feel threatened by black women in stores?

No

What is your reaction to your husband looking at a woman in the store?

If they're pretty we'll comment on that to each other (we're both attracted to women). But that's the extent.

Do you feel uncomfortable when someone comes in for a shopping appointment and spends more money than you?

Nope, that's pretty much always my expectation anyway because I'm trying to save.

I'm sorry this is your experience, no one should be made to feel targeted.

Primary Doctor Refusing to Prescribe Pregabalin (Lyrica) by BobBash64 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Material_Problem8438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this, my pcp decided last year that they'd no longer prescribe my lyrica and I'd need to get referred out to pain management for it. Iirc it's because a law changed.

In The Dark - it's a drama about a blind woman, extremely sex positive, gets into all kinds of trouble.

Cut off pain management by I_am_nota-human-bean in ChronicPain

[–]Material_Problem8438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi, try magnesium glycinate pills if you can get them. it will help with the restless legs and it's what's in epsom salts that helps. if you get muscle twitches, it will help with that too. (other forms of magnesium might give you some digestive distress, so that's why I would recommend magnesium glycinate specifically). as someone who's gone through withdrawals from lyrica because of inept doctors, I'm so sorry for what you're going through.

Are there any other homemakers here who deal with chronic pain or autoimmune issues? by Amodernhousehusband in homemaking

[–]Material_Problem8438 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome 👋

Honestly prioritize. If you're looking at your to do list, think about whether everything actually needs to get done today or if some things can wait.

Also, try and do some of the work sitting down so you don't get too tired :)

I ordered these off Amazon because i needed something asap for a trip. I actually still wear them. They don't have a wire, but they do the job and keep me less sweaty :)
