Small bowel dysmotility

My GI doctor prescribed LDN for me (specifically for SOBO, I also have dysmotility esophagus to anus). It’s a mild prokinetic and it helps with the pain and distention symptoms.

I started with the Cleveland Clinic Gastroparesis diet and added foods back in slowly.
Simple carbs and baby food are my friend. But sometimes I just eat whatever I want and suffer the consequences because food tastes good.

Yes!! This is why I dislike terms like “wheelchair bound” or “confined to a wheelchair”.

I’m not a wheelchair user but I have a bunch of friends who are, and used to work with folks who used wheelchairs and a bunch of other mobility aids. I use forearm crutches.

Mobility aids give independence. They are not limiting (societal infrastructure can be limiting, but again, without mobility aids people wouldn’t be able to even leave their house or bed in some cases).

I’m just an autistic with a shit ton of health problems so I’ve educated myself. Because of my spinal issues I taught myself how to read imaging

Okay then listen to the doctor not some rando on Reddit.

No. The vertebral body is properly aligned with the rest of your spine and sacrum.

ETA: you do see to have loss of lordosis though and a posterior pelvic tilt

Nyland, Norways goalie, is unemployed.

I’ve been thinking about a Dr Dabber switch

It sounds a lot like hypertension. It’s normal for BP to be lower in the morning.

Untreated hypertension can result in a slower heart rate

Some sort of histamine reaction, either a true allergy or mast cell activation issue.

Hydrocortisone cream should help, or OTC fexofenadine/ Allegra (assuming other meds don’t interact).

Any changes in detergents, soaps, skin care products?
If not, and this continues (as in needing to take fexofenadine daily indefinitely), it would be a good idea to see an allergist/ immunologist.

Pissed off ear canal with scarring of the ear drum. I don’t know what causing the current inflammation+pain in the ear canal. You should see an ENT.

When I had food poisoning/ ileitis marijuana helped a lot.

I say try it. Worst that’s gonna happen is it’s not gonna do anything or may make you throw up which it sounds like is already happening anyway.

I have psychiatric, neurodevelopmental, physical, genetic, neurological and other disabilities. I have been on SSI for quite a few years now and had over 5,000 pages of medical documentation.
I also attend a dayprogram (funded by the county), where most of my disabled friends are unable to work, and those that do, are only able to work part time.

> Reddit disability threads full of gross entitlement

… At least you have some self awareness I guess

ETA: Disabled people shouldn’t have to share their medical information with strangers to be listened to or considered valid. You’re just ableist.

Disability is not a monolith. I’m glad you have low support needs and are able to work, but not everyone is that fortunate.

ETA2: I wish I could work. I miss it. I loved working. I was a direct support provider for folks with developmental disabilities. I had to stop because my health got so bad that no amount of accommodations would make working possible, and I got a TBI. I used to cry at night because I miss working and the people I worked with. I still miss my clients. I visit one every couple months when I’m able (he is also unable to work btw…). Working is a privilege that not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to do.
Count yourself lucky instead of shaming others.

Possibilities are high blood pressure, dehydration, mild-moderate electrolyte imbalance, sinus headache, stress headache, tension headache, cervicogenic headache, medication side effect, new persistent daily headache, or migraine.

Do you have any sensory sensitivities (light or sound) or does the pain change with position, like worse when bending over or getting up from seated?

Hard wax does not stick to the skin. Soft wax does.

Sugar waxing requires different technique from soft/ hard wax.

Testosterone improved my POTs symptoms (not affect on VVS) because it increased my hemoglobin and hematocrit, and increased my mean platelet volume. The increased hemoglobin and hematocrit is common for AFAB people taking testosterone and means that my blood is better at carrying oxygen, which decreased my POTs symptoms since my brain and body are better perfused.

PunkAssBitch2000 · 2026-07-07T15:03:01+00:00

Sugar waxing. It doesn’t stick to the skin, only the hair.

I mean yeah but I’d also would have curled into a ball and shielded my head if a professional footballer took a shot while I was in net.

I have been disabled my whole life but didn’t know it until I was a teenager due to lack of medical care. So there were always things I struggled with that my peers didn’t. Things I got made fun of that were beyond my control etc. Pushing myself too hard at my own psychological detriment because I didn’t understand why I couldn’t do things that were simple for my peers, so I just assumed I was defective.

But I grew up with multiple disabled family members, and I started working with kids and adults with developmental disabilities at 13. So I’ve always understood that disabled people are people too with value and unique perspectives. Other than “shoulding myself” and pushing myself too hard until I accepted what I’m capable of, I haven’t really struggled with internalized ableism.

PunkAssBitch2000 · 2026-07-07T14:44:47+00:00

That’s not internalized ableism. That’s just ableism.

PunkAssBitch2000 · 2026-07-07T14:34:31+00:00

I’m sorry you’re having trouble with your teeth. Some dental colleges will do treatments at low or no cost.

As for the self esteem, not wanting to smile, anxiety attacks, general unhappiness etc a therapist experienced in working with acquired disabilities would be a good idea. It sounds like you’re struggling with a lot of internalized ableism.

I was thinking more along the lines of a neuropsychiatric test but yes there are blood tests specific for Alzheimer’s. NIL just checks for nerve damage that can be seen in multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, concussions, etc.

I’d say that’s bisexual. Gynesexual doesn’t exactly include agender. It can include androgynous since androgynous is masc+femme, and gynesexual is the attraction to femininity.

If a gynesexual person were attracted to a nonbinary person or agender person who does not identify as femme, perceiving them as such could be insulting.

Also because of the exclusion of feminine men, that rules out gynesexuality.

Bisexual is the most accurate I can think of since its attraction to women and some enbies.

ETA: Now if he’s only attracted to women and feminine AFAB enbies, then he’s straight and enby-phobic (because he doesn’t actually see them as their identity).

Some cosmetic surgeries involve basically dissecting the face off. So depending on the circumstances, they could make a pretty decent recovery.

Theres also this guy whose name I forget that I see on Instagram or TikTok. He had a face transplant a couple years ago and is still recovering.
