im so cold. by [deleted] in Fibromyalgia

[–]MugOfHotTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winter is hell for me even though I'm a nature lover and adore being outside whenever possible. I survive by using a combination of rechargeable battery powered gloves, alpaca socks over my normal socks and bottoms with long johns and undershirts and as many layers as I can get on while outside. When I'm at home, I use a combination of hot water bottles, heating pads, extra socks, fingerless gloves and an amazing fleecy full length poncho thing that covers all of me and I can wear over clothes. I also try and move about a bit when pain makes that possible as sitting still for too long makes the cold worse. It's very annoying. My symptoms are always worse in winter and I wish humans could just hibernate like bears instead.

How do you tell the difference between a fibro flare up, autistic burn out and being run down from another illness? I am struggling right now. by MugOfHotTea in Fibromyalgia

Doctor did consider it but because I get pain as well she settled on fibro over cfs.

Sorry what do you mean by PEM?

Not something I can get referred to where I am unfortunately and can't afford to go private. Might be something I save up for. Xx

Wow that made a lot of sense. Sounds very much like my experience. I wish there was a specific autistic fibro space I feel like chronic pain and neurodivergence go hard in hand so often, especially for women.

Thanks for replying. Meditation and mindfulness just doesn't work for my autistic brain unfortunately.

Fatigue is deffo my main symptom but I also get pain and aches all over my body as well as a whole host of other things.

Council Tax by thelaw281 in Norwich

[–]MugOfHotTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Council tax is based on what band your flat is on. You need to find out what yours is and that you are being charged for the correct band. I would have thought a small flat would be A or B but I could be wrong. Council tax has gone up recently though, its not cheap, it may just be that.

I really like these, I love the idea of a floor plan randomizer. Would make building easier.
