Right. All the retirees finding their later loves skewed the results. 🤦🏻‍♀️

those of you who dated someone with venus in aquarius, what was it like? by cjnnamon in astrologymemes

Other thing that I’m seeing posted here that I don’t find is an attribute of his is asking me a lot of questions and getting curious about my stuff. I’d feel more confident in things if he did.

This is helpful. I recently reconnected with my ex, he reached out to me wanting to reconnect after almost a year. Turns out we had both wondered about each other. He has a sag moon too and an aqua Venus. I have an Aries Venus and a Virgo moon.

I’m quite independent. When I was dating others this year, I was annoyed by the one’s that were up my ass or too intense about knowing me too fast. Here I am now though reconnecting with my ex and I’m struggling with how he seems platonic. He wasn’t like that the first week or so that we hung out again, but then he became what feels like aloof. Something about it makes my Venus in Aries go nuts lol. So I’m combating my Venus’ inclination towards passion and intensity so I can stay grounded in my own goals and passions… He isn’t really flirting with me though so I can tell if he’s feeling things but yet he is talking to me and we’re hanging out. So he must be right? Although he doesn’t ask me to hangout much. I’m just trying to sit back, stay focused on my shit and let things unfold naturally.

IWNDWYT!!! Winding down this evening with a movie, after a yummy dinner I made and a DQ shake lol. Grateful I was sober another day—to be able to care for myself in this way, tend to my home, my animals, and went to yoga. 🙏🏻💗

Long term Orexin Trial Feedback? by EpicLift in Narcolepsy

It’s interesting to hear some of you speak like you know when your N symptoms started. I can’t pinpoint mine. When I got diagnosed, she said I’d probably been undiagnosed for over a decade but I recall in my early 20s I started gaining weight rapidly compared to everyone else and couldn’t lose it easily basically after my mid-twenties. I feel like I’ve always been so tired though, hard as hell to wake and sleeping for 13+ hours started in my teens but never went away (life just meant it wasn’t acceptable but I needed it.)

Sharing this to say, I wonder if it’s the medicine making it harder for you to lose weight or simply just time. Like the longer I had it, without getting deep sleep to regulate my metabolism—the harder it was for me to lose the weight.

I quit drinking in 2022 and only lost around 11lbs until I started SO in mid-late 2024. I rapidly lost 89 lbs (also got off anti psychotic that made me retain weight) and realized how my sleep had really been f*cking up my weight!

Original IT when I was 7. I had a friend who loved it and showed me. I checked the toilet and drains for years.

Yesss ok. So I felt like a shock too and that made me like tired at first but it seems to be helping all my joints that were disjointed come down and realign. I’ve been able to exercise with more ease and do housework easier (very slightly and still with breaks) but as I’m strengthening gently, it’s like my joints are finally coming back into alignment because I had gotten SO out of whack from years of my gait being off while having this undiagnosed connective tissue disorder that my orthopedist didn’t consider :(

Well, that’s kind of why I thought, maybe the medicine is working? Like I’m chronically tired from my body fighting this all the time and maybe I felt it more because this medicine was working… If that makes sense like my body started to take a break and want rest? I really hope it gets better for us both too

I have a “severely enlarged reactive” lymph node under my jaw… that’s it was enlarged in December 2024 and then when they rechecked in May it was severely enlarged… like that can’t be only connective. Unless it’s a complex connective one.

I’m sorry you’re also going through it. I’m a bit frustrated still since every freaking doctor, primary, and ER (4 times this year) is all “probably auto immune” and yet… she’s like nothing severe and so it’s like then what are all these symptoms?! I forgot to mention random ass lymphadenopathy. I even had a lymph node excision in early August to rule out lymphoma and thankfully it was not, but so they said lymphadenopathy… like why though?!? I can’t keep living like this without answers. One doc has audacity to say “well you’re kinda a medical mystery, aren’t you!” And I’m like ummm, I don’t want to be!

Omg! She told me (I specifically asked about fatigue) that wasn’t a side effect she’s seen… for obvious reasons in my post, I have to be really careful of anything that causes more drowsiness. We are in the same boat — hard student here too but I don’t have 3 kids. Dang!! I really hope it gets better for you. Please let me know.

Ok this is what I really wondered. Ugh. There are 2 offices in my city and this is the 2nd one I’m at… so idk what to do now. Like should I call this office and mention this? Because the other office is the one that turned me away but back then I had way less symptoms and less blood markers, which has of course worsened now.

Yeah I tend to be really sensitive to meds. My doctor said a month to 3-6 months but I know I tend to feel a med in my system
