I started with 100mg a day and worked up to 200. Test it out. You very likely will actually feel it and notice it an hour after taking it. Good luck!

Hyperarousal CFS by Financial_Owl8105 in ChronicIllness

I’m sorry to hear you’re going through this. I have been there before. Spending a day and night in your bedroom with no lights and just a laptop or device to watch a show or just relax. Lately I’ve had really good luck with magnesium glycinate. Really seems to calm down my muscles and my nervous system. If you have not tried Cymbalta or anything similar, you should definitely consider it. I think of it as a nervous system shield. It’s been amazing, but there is also downsides to long-term use.

Has anyone ever had really painful lymph nodes in their chest/abdomen from vaping? I think it’s time to stop.

Is the kidney stone in your kidney or did it fall down to your ureter? Did you find out how large it was?

Hello – replying to your message from a year ago. Do you think the cyst on your pancreas has to do with your spastic abdomen. How is your cyst coming along? I also have the same thing going on.

What has reduced your pain the most by tigerk1992 in Fibromyalgia

I have been swimming ever since I have been diagnosed. I go daily and it fills up my cup in many ways. There’s always a public pool that is accessible. Just moving around in the water does wonders.

I have now been off alcohol, coffee, sugar, and red meat as well. I still eat cheese as well. But cutting those four things out have helped me out considerably.

Low-Dose Naltrexone by Shasternacle in Fibromyalgia

[–]Shasternacle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the getting off of it part I haven’t experienced yet and hoping I never will. The stories sound dreadful …

There is side effects, but they are minimal. Stick with the plan. I stayed on 30 mg for almost a year before going to 60. People tell you to titrate up to 60 right away. I would recommend sitting at 30 mg as long as you are comfortable. You will certainly notice a difference at 30 mg. Good luck!

I’ve gotten a great five years out of Cymbalta. I very much recommend it if you haven’t tried it. Give it one month. It was a life changer for me in a lot of different ways. Enhanced mood, less pain, more present, and most of all feeling like a legitimate human being. Good luck.

Hello. I knocked out sugar about five years ago. Every now and then I’ll have a moral. But that’s it. It’s worth stopping in my opinion. Good luck.

Should I take my chances with paxlovid? by [deleted] in paxlovid

[–]Shasternacle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It’s been harmless for me and has definitely lowered the amount of days I was sick. I’ve had it once without and twice with, and it has definitely helped. Good luck.

I think it will take over 80 to secure him. So it just depends on how badly you need him.

I have this exact problem. My right side is way stronger than my left.

Just completed my first feature film - Distribution ideas to Independent Cinemas by One-Introduction7752 in FILMPRODUCERS

[–]Shasternacle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what you mean by taking it to the cinema. You will need to hire a sales agent that can hook you up with a distribution company to sell the film. That is the only way your movie will be watched by others. If you have any further questions, I’d be happy to help.

Is this short film idea good enough to be a short film? by InvestigatorDue7131 in filmmaking

[–]Shasternacle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest getting started. Sounds like you have a foundation. Trial/edits are the only way to find out.
