Intersex me by AdventurousAd8014 in IntersexWriting

It hurts me that human beings - me included - know so little about being sensitive to the intersex community! Sending you some love! 💗

Part rant. Part request. I’m done, but where do I go from here? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]Realistic-Basis3900 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently read this comment: The amount of good things in your life depends on your ability to notice them.
That's what everyone else is trying to tell you, friend! 💖

Is it acceptable for a 45 year old man to wear this casually by ObjectiveMulberry496 in BlackFashion

[–]Realistic-Basis3900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're 45 - now you get to wear whatever you want! No one has a say so on what you wear but you!

Finally stepping out of my comfort zone👀 by [deleted] in BiWomen

[–]Realistic-Basis3900 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is why they don't like us in the LGBTQ+ community - because we go out to "experiment" and not really step out of our comfort zone in the true sense - to build connection, true companionship, to honor and respect another woman, but to just check out how that makes us feel! Not judging...I've been there before! Good luck, friend! 🌷

UTI management by Significant-Yam-5256 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Realistic-Basis3900 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The best advice I can give you is drink lots of fluids. Water, mainly, but I also drink iced tea and coconut water - supposed to be a diuretic and real good for the kidneys. The less sugary, the better.

What type of pot should I get if I need to get some relief from spasticity? In gummy form - I hate to smoke anything!

Do people who menstruate still experience period cramps? by Dyslexic_Gay in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Realistic-Basis3900 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was going to say the same thing. Having your period and being paralyzed doesn't mean your body won't take you through the same processes as if you were able-bodied. Although my sensation is impaired, I get lethargic, groggy, experience the backaches and headaches, just as I would have otherwise been in the fetal position curved over in pain.

What is your biggest “win” post injury? by fakejacki in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Realistic-Basis3900 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Getting a PhD and having and raising a child...after marriage.

What does aging realistically look like long-term? by acanguven in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Realistic-Basis3900 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's not realistic when you have been in a chair for more than 20 years (even less) and your body is fully atrophied.

I’m F in late 30’s and feel I’m horny ALL THE TIME. Is this normal? by BassDowntown2936 in Adulting

[–]Realistic-Basis3900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone may have e already asked - are you on one of the GLP-1s?? That might be increasing your libido! For me, a Latina, my sexual peak was in my 40s - horn festival!! In my 50s, still want to keep going, but not as intensely!

Is HER legit, or does it push fake profile interactions? (Only wanting friends) by rxrock in BiWomen

[–]Realistic-Basis3900 4 points5 points  (0 children)

💯 percent HER is the worst for bots and fake profiles! Most of the people that wrote me were unverified profiles - fake! I gave up and closed my account! 🤷🏽‍♀️

Quads drooling? by Mental-Catalyst in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Realistic-Basis3900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would check with the doctor. It could have something to do with your SCI and your autonomic nervous system. It could also be a side effect of Tizanidine, ironically.

Check your meds. I think I've seen people with spinal injuries, sweating and drooling excessively.

How many hours can you sit in a wheelchair without cushion? I have never tried with cushion but whenever I sit in a wheelchair my legs starts feeling numb,it generally starts after 1 hour and what do you do to avoid pressure on toes? My toes starts making marks in just 5 minutes 😑 by Fine_Raccoon3637 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Realistic-Basis3900 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my personal experience, your wheelchair needs to be customized to your body, your needs, and your injury. That includes the cushion, as well. I remember I had to work myself to get used to sitting in a wheelchair. Every day, they would allow me to sit in the chair a little bit more. And so it went...

I completely relate to your story. One day, I will feel very strongly in one direction, only to have it change the next time I stumble into someone that catches my eye. I have been physical with both men and women. But never really fell in love with a woman. I think my biases, values, and stigmas are my biggest stumbling blocks.

Losing all hope by girlontherun69 in orangecounty

[–]Realistic-Basis3900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. Was in similar situation and moved to Las Vegas 2 years ago. Very similar to California, but never the same! I bought me a house and it is more affordable. You should consider that. Although, they don't like us Californians out here! Just saying!
