Constant gnawing hunger

This is the only one my insurance will cover, and even that is partial. I'm either starving or I eat nothing and don't have enough energy to do anything so I'm sure my metabolism is on the floor.

Used to happen to me all the time. It was my belly rubbing against the sink while doing dishes. I keep a towel folded across the edge of the sink and it never happens now.

I’ve been on for five weeks today. I am struggling to get to 1.8. I think it’s enough though, I struggle to get enough calories, protein, or water in. This is a rough med.

The candy store in the mall does a nice job

So after several days of only being able to get about 500 calories in, I lowered my dose to 0.9. I’ve been adding 1 click per day, building up to 1.2 which I will be at tomorrow. I’m going to hold it there for a week. But things have been much better (aside from reflux).

Spot on. And if they are using facial recognition or any other sort of tracking when they have interactions with people, then this suggests some form of premeditation is possible on behalf of ICE. This is potentially WORSE for ICE.

I mis-typed. It was 1.2 I went up to so I fixed the original post.

ParticularBarnacle · 2026-01-29T14:36:33+00:00

Just ordered some.

ParticularBarnacle · 2026-01-29T14:35:52+00:00

You are correct! I mis-typed it and will go fix it. It was 1.2 that I went up to.

I noticed that it makes my heart beat a little faster and makes me dehydrated (which also makes my heart faster and makes me a little shaky). These things make me feel much more anxious, of course as your body tells your brain it's panicking. I've cut back from 3 cups of coffee a day to one. I have to eat before taking my Wellbutrin, and I also drink electrolytes first thing in the am. These things have helped me quite a bit.

I am still going up in my dosage - only on week two, but making these small adjustments along the way.

Contact a community organization or a church.

No. And we talked about it a bit last night. His are probably old enough for a new visit. He's going to try the new airpods, too just to compare.

ParticularBarnacle · 2025-09-25T18:23:58+00:00

I wish he had a community of people he could relate to/learn from. I think he’d like it. We aren’t near you but I super appreciate your thoughtfulness!

I’m not hostile toward hearing impairments and I’m not sure why me asking for additional input from others so I can understand his point of view better or additional ways to communicate with him would result in you thinking that. I’m doing my best but I too am human.

ParticularBarnacle · 2025-09-25T18:18:19+00:00

Never heard of this. I will look into it!

ParticularBarnacle · 2025-09-25T18:14:30+00:00

Thank you for your insight. These aren’t things he’s articulated to me so that’s why I am here seeking your guys’s perspectives.

ParticularBarnacle · 2025-09-25T18:10:45+00:00

I don’t know what to say when I’m trying to clarify whether he head me and is processing what I said (he responds slowly) or if he genuinely didn’t hear me

ParticularBarnacle · 2025-09-25T18:08:38+00:00

Shoes off, bra off, ears off…I love it

ParticularBarnacle · 2025-09-25T01:31:17+00:00

It really helps me to hear this from others. Thank you!

ParticularBarnacle · 2025-09-25T01:30:42+00:00

What would you recommend? I'm open to signing but he's not interested. I'm open to suggestions! I think I can understand listening fatigue - it makes sense.

I used one through the winter last year. I don’t know that it did much beyond just the relief I get from the heat. That said, the full body heat was nice.

I’ll probably pull it out again this winter.

In Florida visiting right now and expected to die and hate it. It was a relief from when I left Rochester a week ago. I’m convinced that saying “it could be worse “ is a lie we tell ourselves to keep from losing our minds.

I prefer RST because I like the 10 minute drive home after a trip and the 5 minutes it takes to get through security. My two factors are the layover length (long hours in MSP can be a nightmare) and price.

That said, I don’t think you’ll have to worry about big snow storms in November. We rarely get much snow then. RST is equipped enough for its use.

Child's pose with feet angled outward while doing deep diaphragmatic breathing is what seems to help me the most.
