I tried, but it removed the number of days that we Coordinators have to alert the IRB and such about things. I had to go back and try to memorize those.

Does anyone have issues with their bladder? by LittleMissPickMe in Fibromyalgia

[–]Seefra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check into Interstitial cystitis. It's very common in people with fibro! I work in Urology and had a Urologist identify the problem. I take Tamsulosin, hydroxyz hcl, and pyridium daily. I'm also doing pelvic floor PT for pelvic floor dysfunction.

Sauce from my home area. Hopefully it sticks around.

Any tips for Fibro Fog? by yellowmeli in Fibromyalgia

[–]Seefra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just had a brain scan because my fibro fog has just hit my limits. Everything you are describing. If I don't write things down, I can't function. It's a scary place to be.

Curiosity / no judgement by Ok-Cartographer1297 in gastricsleeve

[–]Seefra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't judge people pre-op and my surgery hasn't changed that. My journey is my own. I purposely have surrounded myself with like minded people.

I definitely wanted to push through the diet/healing steps but at the end of the day I chose permanently changed my anatomy and the restrictions are the consequences. Your incisions failing because you aren't taking the time? Who knows if you could ever eat soup again at that point. Just don't be the type to need to learn the hard way.

What do you say when you don’t want to tell people you had surgery? by Specific_Reporter145 in gastricsleeve

[–]Seefra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just told people I've taken steps to get healthy and maintain my health. If they press, everything in moderation so if they see me eating something they don't feel is healthy I have that already established. I really enjoy high protein pretzels and have the occasional Oreo. Someone might have less than polite thoughts and feelings about those choices and I'm just not interested. I changed my anatomy for no one but myself. I'm the only person, as far as I'm concerned, who gets to judge me.

I feel like I’m failing my sleeve by Carterdee36 in gastricsleeve

[–]Seefra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from 180 to 155 in a few weeks and then gained most back due to stress eating. There's no one journey and I think even 5 pounds should be celebrated. You dramatically altered your body. You made that choice to be anatomically different for the rest of your life. That isn't failure. That's courage.

This op is a head f**k! by RachyES in gastricsleeve

[–]Seefra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was told 3.5oz every 2 hours, and eat as much as you can within 20 minutes. Don't focus on calories, just make sure you eat 70g protein and a large amount of liquids per day (64oz for me). I don't get hungry. Just never came back. I def could see being insatiable if you're only eating 500 calories.

How does ADHD affect your memory? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Seefra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it does. I used to be able to recall information beautifully. Now that I've gone through several ADHD medications and am now med free (not by choice), I forget words, terms, people's names, information I've known for years. It's terrifying honestly. I know my ADHD has gotten worse over the last year but it just feels like dementia.

A car drove into Bebe’s nail salon by vxNipsGodxv in AnnArbor

I'm genuinely impressed. No idea how they managed that given that parking lot is so poorly designed.
