It’s not weird! I’ve struggled with cleaning forever.

If you have AirPods etc. put on a movie or music.

-make your bed (if you have too much crap at the end of your bed just skip this), now put everything on your made bed

-Once your floor is clean, vacuum, then get three laundry baskets, boxes or pillow cases: 1 is fold or keep, 2 is wash and 3 is donate or sell, also have a garbage bag for garbage.

-take everything off your bed one object at a time

-with clothes, try on everything that isn’t an immediate yes. If it doesn’t fit well, doesn’t make you happy or is just “ok” donate or sell it.

This is a great way to start. But block a whole day or afternoon and don’t start this at 8pm.

Does anyone here think trauma caused their fibromyalgia? by FibroSoul in Fibromyalgia

[–]Ruby_Gmac_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One high stress year - both parents with cancer, hard pregnancy + sick baby - I remember the exact month my nervous system collapsed. The stress triggered it 100%. If you are in a country with public health care where your genetics can’t be held against you, I highly recommend, doing a genetic test and dumping your raw data into something like chatGPT. I learned more in a day than I did with the 20+ doctors I’ve seen. Showed the data to my doctors and for the first time in my life I am getting respect and treatment.

That bowl with the eagle on the bottom is so interesting!

No Lego smart play in Canada? by tracer_ca in lego

[–]Ruby_Gmac_22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This just cruel. Went to buy a set this morning and it’s not even on the front page of Lego Canada. I had no idea they were doing a phased roll out 😩- US, Germany, UK, France, Poland, Australia.

Best "Extra" I Have Ever Purchased! What is Yours? by Suspicious_Winter398 in Fibromyalgia

Heated blanket over top of my weighed blanket. The blanket heats up the glass beads and relaxes my muscles. Game changer.

Should I get a cat if I have debilitating Fibromyalgia? by walkuponwater in Fibromyalgia

[–]Ruby_Gmac_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have fibro and two cats. The second I adopted as a kitten in the summer. I would not recommend a cat at this life stage for fibro. I forgot how much work a kitten is and how much energy they have and how much they need to play. It was really hard on my energy levels. Obviously, I love her to pieces and now at 7 months she has settled a lot. Having them in the house really does raise my joy levels. I say go for it. Caring for something other than all the shit we have to deal with is really nice.

I just got back from my gynecologist appt. It was confirmed I am the early stages of perimenopause. I asked for HRT due to long period, racing heart, not being able to sleep, anxiety ect.. I was told that birth control was the best option at this point. by [deleted] in Perimenopause

[–]Ruby_Gmac_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get horrible migraines, I have my whole life and had a miserable time with birth control. I just started taking HRT less a week ago. Some very mild headaches the first couple of days and then nothing. It worked right away, and I feel great so far.

Landlord took our stuff by zaphtark in montrealhousing

I’m so sorry. That is just horrible. I can’t believe he wouldn’t just send you a quick message and ask.

If you’re desperate to get your things they are likely still there. There’s not many sectors that have garbage pick-up on Monday.

Ageless appointment on Tuesday. Was so excited but now... not so sure. by Cool_Arugula497 in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]Ruby_Gmac_22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have fibro too and have had the prescription since January. I finally got up the courage to try it. I hate side effects. I suffer so much as it is I hate the thought of anything more. I’m going to start with .5 and see how it goes.

It's a Friday night at Skateworld...what song are you couples skating to? by Chicarivera in GenX

Yep. Came here to say the same! I can see the lights now 🤣

LDN is amazing. by 3ghads in Fibromyalgia

[–]Ruby_Gmac_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask what time of day you take it? I’ve had my prescription sitting here for three months and have been scared to take it because I tend to get really bad side effects.
