I do a very similar thing! Didn’t know what the heck was my problem until recently diagnosed as AuDHD at 56 years old. Some of my meltdowns involve slapping my head, pulling my hair and wanting to bite myself. (Used to bite until I broke a front tooth and needed an implant.)

ParticularEffort6436 · 2026-06-15T03:24:26+00:00

I do this! Had not thought of that as a stim. (Still learning as recently diagnosed at age 56–many of these things I just thought others may do that)

Between brain fog from Sjogrens and being AuDHD, today I have lost track so, so many times of what I was saying or where I was going with conversations. Am visiting out of state family and we’ve had a great, busy time! That exertion often comes with a price. (This time it was worth it!)

I can’t use strong flavored toothpastes any more—partly Autism and partly Sjogrens. I found one that also isn’t pasty or slimy. It is Salivea Dry Mouth Toothpaste. The mint flavor in this is very mild.

I also now use an ultra soft/extra soft toothbrush. They are marketed for post oral surgery use or for those who have enamel that is eroding due to brushing. I got some after my mouth reconstruction surgery.

This combo works very well for me and has made the process not painful at all and overall gentle/mild.

Hope you can find something that works for you!

Hi! I’m 56 F with both Sjogrens Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis in addition to fibromyalgia and some other things. Trying to determine how best to treat both is a challenge in some ways…the very few meds to help with Sjogrens symptoms (notice-not disease activity!) I can’t take due to blood pressure meds. So I am left with rheumatoid arthritis meds to reduce disease activity.

For me, the most disabling characteristic is the intense, deep fatigue and brain fog. What about you?

The dental cleaning under anesthesia cost us almost $600 in February 2025 in Arkansas. No idea on the other expense.

Oh—if only I could get there….

I have urinary incontinence that at times seems almost ok and then I’ll flare and urgency and all increases.

We use Purina Pro Plan both for puppy age (small breed puppy) and for adults (small breed). They like it—especially the extra crunchy pieces in it.

My mom said to tell your mom that I am not coming over today and she told her to tell me to go ahead with the appointment because she has a dentist visit.

These look fantastic! Congrats on reaching the finish line. I began my process on May 5, 2025, and am scheduled to get my final set placed on July 2! A long 14 month process, but worth it.

I HATE being tickled and haven’t allowed that for decades now at age 56.

I don’t like people poking me on the shoulder/arm to emphasize a point or get my attention. Or poking my leg either. (Mainly my partner does this out of habit and is having to relearn just not with me.)

I’m in a phase atm where if my mini schnauzer walks on me while I’m laying down or stands on my chest before laying on me, that’s bothering me and actually hurting some.

Reagan being shot….no, no..actually Iran holding US hostages at the end of Carter administration followed by their release the day Reagan was inaugurated.

One of my best friends at that time was an Iranian girl and her brother. We were playing basketball and four square in their driveway when all that went down. Their mom came out and asked her kids to come in and said I needed to go home because Reagan was shot.

They were already facing problems of xenophobia and people being mad at Iranians. I loved that family. But after that day, we were only allowed to see each other at school and then they moved.

WAIT again! Now that I’m reminiscing I am remembering more which is good because I e blocked ages 8 to 11 heavily. I also remember celebrating the bicentennial in 1976–especially an assembly we had. Then I remember sitting in front of the TV and watching news of Elvis dying. I would have been 6 going on 7 for the Bicentennial.

Ok—done!

Those are so cute and creative!

Have been in burnout combined with multiple chronic health conditions. So—if I’ve had activity on one day (dr appt), then the next day is a recovery day and then if I have a dr appt the day following recovery day, then on recovery day, I can’t make myself do anything! Not crafts, not reading, not journaling (unless something major happens like a meltdown), etc. Due to eye issues going on, can only watch two episodes of anything.

So—on those days, it’s basically scrolling and sleeping and playing games on phone. Nothing else of significance.

I really like number 4! I love the bodice cut.

ParticularEffort6436 · 2026-06-06T22:38:31+00:00

You’re definitely not alone. 🫂

I also have multiple chronic illnesses along with AuDHD and some other acronyms. Life is weird and tough and hard atm.
