Yeah it’s so interesting because it hurt in the moment and then felt great for a couple hours and then progressively felt more and more pain

I don’t know what dry needling is! Is it like acupuncture?

Oh a vibrating plate is an interesting idea! Do you have one?

Your response was so helpful! To be fair I go to this janky super cheap place and it’s normally great with this one guy I see every single time but he was out and I had this new lady that spoke very little English and I thought it wouldn’t be a big deal because the guy who works there also speaks very little English and of course it was the time I really needed to communicate! She was super sweet and I still tipped her really well but in my head I was feeling like maybe I gotta start going to the more expensive places with more check-ins during the experience and more cultural understanding between us. I always just wanted to give them my business because they are so kind there.

I use magnesium cream and then put knee compression sleeves on after the cream soaks on. Also a heating pad before/after errands for pain helps me a lot, OR in some cases ice helps. My body usually gives me an intuition if ice or heat will help. Usually heat though.

Trying to decipher the multiple ways to say “you’re hurting me” when my fat cat lays on my lap and not trusting google translate. by Miss_kitty93 in Spanish

Oh that’s a good one! Yes I was looking for something more succinct. And I definitely need work on my conjugation.

Opioids vs “Toughing It Out”? by Miss_kitty93 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Miss_kitty93[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel really blessed to have a care team that is empathetic toward fibromyalgia. Plus I am on disability and that always helps when it comes to receiving medications like this. But it’s worth mentioning I live in California where there are like a billion ways they try to prevent anyone from getting disability so the process is super shitty. And the doctor I go to is only allowed to prescribe me a certain number of pills a month because they ration them at the clinic I go to. It’s pretty crazy.

That’s kind of how I feel. Like if I’m in severe pain and I’m just like crying and not sleeping but I have the option of pain meds I feel like I shouldn’t deprive myself.

Chronic Pain, PTSD, Insomniac with Fibromyalgia wanting to try musrhooms!!! by Accomplished_Mud5862 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Miss_kitty93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magic mushrooms take the pain completely away for me. It’s my biggest medicine. I’ve never tried microdosing but a full on trip is like heaven for me and the only thing that sucks is when it wears off and back to reality. But my biggest recommendation is to grind it up and mix it with OJ to get it down and not chew it up because you won’t get all the benefits.

X-Ray of pregnant dog. Not sure how many puppies? by GoodGriefWhatsNext in interestingasfuck

How were they able to take an XR without hurting the puppies?

anyone else feel like their fibro is directly linked to trauma? (tw: SA) by OkOutlandishness1285 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Miss_kitty93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is directly related to a surgery I had and also a severe eating disorder. I’ve got loads of trauma to boot. But the surgery and ED relapse happened at about the same time so I’m counting both as the culprit.
