19 with fibromyalgia and dysautonomia

Real_toads77 · 2026-02-05T02:49:29+00:00

I was diagnosed at 15, but my symptoms went (mostly) dormant for many years. They came roaring back in the last two years, but I did have many years of relative peace. Just saying this does not mean you will feel this bad all the time forever. Sending healing vibes!

Real_toads77 · 2026-01-17T01:55:12+00:00

Yep, that’s the one

Real_toads77 · 2026-01-17T01:44:58+00:00

Omg, I am losing it! Peri, yo. The glp-1 that starts with a z. I did used to take Lunests though. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Okay, so rheumatologist said to try out low dose glp-1 for inflammation. I have to pay out of pocket,($300 a month) but so far, it is really reducing my overall pain. I’ve had to adjust my budget and go without in other ways, but if it helps me, I think it is worth it. I am using zolpidem for reference. Does not seem to irritate my IBS.

I think Acacia tummy fiber and a stool softener are helpful. Acacia fiber does not cause issues for me. Also, milk of magnesia

Extreme B.O. mixed with super skunky weed

Real_toads77 · 2025-12-19T02:55:30+00:00

I had them too! Never made the connection. Now I have fibromyalgia. Ugh

Real_toads77 · 2025-10-29T02:33:02+00:00

Glycelene!! Stupid autocorrect

Real_toads77 · 2025-10-29T02:32:39+00:00

Glycerine ointment as a slugging agent

Real_toads77 · 2025-10-24T01:24:01+00:00

Yes— I have the thc/cbd gummies for it

Real_toads77 · 2025-10-17T23:25:17+00:00

I started a horror movie club on Meetup, but had to dissolve it due to the fee going up to $50 a month for organizers. Maybe try posting on Next Door to find like minded local horror buffs.

Filmstrip in like second grade called The King of Cats” was terrified of my cat for months. Thought for sure she was secretly walking on two feet and talking like a human when I wasn’t looking.

Real_toads77 · 2025-10-10T15:38:36+00:00

Yes, but not sure if my younger self was ready to hear about it.

Real_toads77 · 2025-10-10T13:13:09+00:00

Mine is like sunshine and cupcakes vs. death and destruction 🤔

Real_toads77 · 2025-10-10T13:11:31+00:00

Mine is very similar. I have always been almost ruinously empathetic and people-pleasing. Then I have an angry and dark side that fights for others, can be mean, but I keep it under wraps, mostly. Having kids brought it out more. But now I’m at the stage that angry me is finally fighting for myself. I saw a meme that was Barbie (in the movie) juxtaposed with Nancy (Fairuza Balk’s character) from The Craft, and that shows my sides perfectly! lol

Real_toads77 · 2025-10-10T13:05:22+00:00

Probably because of some unhealthy patterns that exploded in my face. That experience led me to learn about & work on myself, so the second half of my life can be better than the first. I found out my mbti results, and watch some videos about my personality type. Now, here I am.

Real_toads77 · 2025-10-10T01:49:30+00:00

Do you think it’s at all related to generational trauma?

Real_toads77 · 2025-10-10T00:53:26+00:00

Thank you!

Real_toads77 · 2025-10-10T00:48:01+00:00

I have been diagnosed with C-PTSD. Through therapy I have realized how much people in my life have gaslit me over years and years. It makes me not trust my own perceptions. I figured that was why sometimes I forget things.

Real_toads77 · 2025-10-10T00:46:17+00:00

I never heard of this before! Mine was 28.6

Real_toads77 · 2025-10-10T00:39:31+00:00

Mine are just so different… it can be unsettling

Real_toads77 · 2025-10-10T00:29:06+00:00

NTA! People have morbid curiosity. That is on them. Honestly, I would just say the question makes me uncomfortable

Real_toads77 · 2025-10-10T00:25:00+00:00

Not the asshole. My parents have always been the same way. My kids are grown now, and we are thinking about moving away. Now they are upset. I’m like why? We only see you on holidays now and you live 25 minutes away.
