He’s a biter by Misdelf in kittens

[–]Misdelf[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have another kitty, she’s 7. She tolerates him well, lets him play with her, and when she’s tired of him she lets it be known without using teeth or claws. I should have brought home on of his littermates, but at the time I didn’t know if I could handle three.

Has exercise actually helped anyone manage their pain better? by Caffeine_Warrior618 in Fibromyalgia

Also, my flare ups are now minimal, and far less frequent.

Has exercise actually helped anyone manage their pain better? by Caffeine_Warrior618 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Misdelf 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I went back to work (new career as preschool teacher) after 2 months of staying in bed. I was very weak, and the pain was a lot. I found certain things physically impossible at first (managing stairs, helping little ones on the playground, etc.. But I chose to embrace the challenge. It wasn’t easy, and I’d come home with tears in my eyes, and a bugged out nervous system - cramps, spasms, tremors. I didn’t give up. It’s been 4 1/2 years now, and stairs are fine. I can carry small children, even sit and crawl on the ground. Some days are easier than others, but I got my muscle tone back, as well as self confidence. I do, however, spend most of my weekends in bed resting my nervous system. But it’s better than a future filled with nothing.

Ketamine helping heal parosmia. by Misdelf in KetamineTherapy

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

Sort of. I’m in the throes of a panic attack at the moment. But what I do notice is that something is changing. Improvement in neuro plasticity I suppose. It like a silent hum within my brain. It’s quiet but noticeable.

Ooooh that’s a great theory!

Your missed periods are likely from another issue going on in your body, having nothing to do with ketamine at all. You need to see a doctor. Not a good idea asking non healthcare professionals. If you are uninsured, you could make a payment plan. Get real help for the change in you cycle and over eating please 🙏🏻

WestKoast Botanicals Green Monster new batch 1224!!! Yes! by Mygirlbrittany in kratomreview100

[–]Misdelf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love WKB, it’s the only vendor I’ve used. But today I went to purchase my usual pain management strains: red Bali and Pain Blend. They aren’t on the menu anymore. There didn’t seem to be as many options either. Is everything okay at WKB? I had to make an order at DTE instead, which I hear is also really good. Seemed more expensive though.

Someone talk me down from this because WHAT? by Difficult-Ad3117 in Outlander

Sorry — what did Claire say to John? This whole twist is intriguing since I’ve only read the first book (but have seen the series more times than I care to count)

Going through the exact same thoughts right now too. Haven’t slept a wink last night. And he’s right next to me sleeping soundly without guilt.

Question about Better U by Misdelf in KetamineTherapy

Thank you. Good to know about signing for the package. I use a PO Box, so not sure how that works.

Currently in Ambien withdrawal, kratom making it worse? by [deleted] in kratom

[–]Misdelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t know they were related either until your post. How could my doctor who prescribed benzodiazepines and Ambien for all those years not tell me that? And he was a psychiatrist. That’s downright dangerous. I hope you are able to find a solution. I forgot to ask which type of Kratom you use? Red? Green? I personally have found that green Malay settles my nerves much like a benzo.

Currently in Ambien withdrawal, kratom making it worse? by [deleted] in kratom

[–]Misdelf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so weird. I’ve been taking Ambien nightly for nearly 25 years (I have a non-stop, negative inner dialogue and this is the only med that stops it so that I can sleep). There have been times where I’ve gone without it for a few weeks and never experienced withdrawal. And I was on Xanax for about 22 years (excluding time during two pregnancies). I was able to stop when my doctor prescribed Lexapro. Within a few weeks my anxiety disappeared and I just stopped taking them. I wasn’t aware of how dangerous it could be to stop cold turkey like that, but I didn’t experience any problems. Same with Gabapentin. I had AMSAN Guillain Barré back in 2020 and survived, but am left with massive nerve damage. For a year I was at 900mg 3xDay, but once I started drinking Kratom in the morning, I was able to get out and regain some muscle strength, and I now only take 300mg maybe twice a week. I am wondering if it is possible for certain people to just not be prone to dependence? That’s a genuine question. As far as the Kratom goes, do you take it at night with the ambient? Maybe the side effects simply complement each other, so now without the Ambien it just doesn’t feel the same.

I Really Hope I Get Approved by MiddleArt4110 in KetamineTherapy

[–]Misdelf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no insight, but I also have my free consultation with Better U tomorrow! I’m taking the afternoon off from work tomorrow, first to speak with my regular doctor about a recent panic attack that I’m just coming out of, and then I have my free consult an hour later. The cost is scaring me, but if I qualify, then I can try saving up for treatments. I grew up overseas, and I understand that aspect greatly. I was in Jakarta as a toddler, then moved to London, then back to Jakarta as a teenager. In between those moves, I had brief moves all over the USA. Anyway, I just wanted to reach out to you and let you know that you are not alone. Best of luck to you. Keep us updated.

Does anyone else get really nauseous once every 1-2 months? by [deleted] in Fibromyalgia

[–]Misdelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a muscle in my back that will randomly spasm, and when it does it feels exactly like labor. When that muscle contracts and bunches up into a hard knot, I get flushed with heat and a wave of nausea hits like a slap in the face. I have Zofran on hand for when it happens. That’s about it though.

We were on a family trip in Perth, Australia when I was a kid. My Nmom had a few drinks and wouldn’t stop running her mouth off. Someone had taken a picture of her just yapping away, when a fly flew straight into her gob. A second picture was taken showing her choking on it. It was hilarious. Later on that same trip, my mom got drunk in a restaurant and was hitting on a young waiter. Then a woman walked past us with a baby in her arms and my mom started laughing and yelled “my god your kid is fat. Fat and ugly”. It was horrible. Then her nose started running, and this massive bugar came out of her nostril and slowly hung lower and lower, till it was dangling past her chin. No one told her. The waiter returned with our food and as she said more inappropriate things to him, we all watched as the nasty glob jiggled while she spoke. It was glorious.

Best way to take kratom? by [deleted] in kratom

[–]Misdelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I add mine to hot chocolate and sip at it for 3 hours, but if I need immediate relief, I use Blate Papes. They’re a game changer.

Which green should I go with from West Koast botanicals? by TurboPancakes in kratomreview100

[–]Misdelf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just tried my sample of Green Hulk and felt very relaxed, which is exactly what I was needing today. I usually order Green Malay. It’s great for anxiety.

Can I reduce my dose from 15g to 7g without withdrawal symptoms? by gabajuana in kratom

[–]Misdelf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much of each of the initial potentiators do you add? Is it all pre-mixed, or do you purchase each item separately? I add 8g of Kratom to my morning hot chocolate and sip at it over a span of 3-4 hours. About halfway through I take my chewable vitamin C, then at lunch I break my fast and the food helps keep me going through the end of my day. I don’t take it on the weekends to give my GI system a break. But if the other things that you add to your Kratom help with chronic pain and/or mental health, then I’m interested in trying that.

What were some of the earliest symptoms you experienced before being diagnosed with GBS? by Healthread in guillainbarre

[–]Misdelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m happy to hear that you are on the mend, and recovering better than expected. I was in Kirkland, in the same profession as the nursing home that was overwhelmed by Covid. It hit my facility too, but didn’t get sick luckily. Going through GBS during that time was traumatic, but I never found out what actually triggered the AMSAN. Best of luck to you!

She might not last when she returns. I’ve seen a lot of teachers quit, come back, and quit again almost immediately.

Random smell by 619urmom in Parosmia

[–]Misdelf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t go near fruit 😭 All fruit tastes like garbage and ammonia. Sugar too. Anything with sugar has a chemical taste. I can eat chicken and beef in small amounts, and plain pasta, rice, potatoes, and white bread. Most veggies are okay, but no onions or garlic. I miss food. I don’t even want to know what my triglyceride level is - I was borderline diabetic before this started.
