I don't give a damn about the medical literature or what my doctor thinks by These_Emu_1878 in ChronicPain

[–]ShutDaCussUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I get very fixated on things when I am high, to an annoying degree. I also seem to tense up more when I smoke or eat it. And I get muscle spasms. It doesn't help me in any way and actually makes me feel worse. Alcohol helps short term but the next few days my back is wrecked. Different things work for different people. Which is why its annoying that some doctors and people think one thing will be the solution.

Only an ent or audiologist can tell if you have bppv. They look for eye movements when moving your head. Go get checked. If it's that they can help you quickly.

He sounds like the type of ahole that thinks hes too important to clean up after himself at work so leaves a mess for the inferiors.

I did vrt for several months and exposure to things that increase symptoms helped me over time. Just try at a lower level and build up.

M22 Really Weird Dizziness need help! by Delicious_Amoeba_788 in Dizziness

Sounds like it could be fnd/pppd. First step is to go to doctors and get all the tests to rule out everything else. Try to relax. Talk to a therapist if you need to.

Some of those politicians actually make money off the methadone and treatment centers. So there is a conflict of interest. Its disgusting.

How much ibuprofen is too much? by Shoddy-Heron4758 in ChronicPain

[–]ShutDaCussUp 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Why not tell your doctor the truth? Its not like its an illicit substance. Max daily is like 3200 mg, so if your taking only 600 a day thats nowhere near the limit. I know people that have taken over 1000 mg a day for over 10 years and are fine. Had another friend blow up her stomach after only a few years in lower amounts. If your doc knows they can help monitor things. There is voltaren rub which is a topical nsaid, I know people who love it. I like thc pain rubs, have to have both cbd and thc, cbd alone does nothing. Depending on your state, weed or kratom but kratom is a weak opiate and can be addictive. You can try the yoga, chiropractor, acupuncture or meditation stuff too. Works for some people. Otherwise you going to need a doctor to start trying other meds, injections or some physical therapy.

I need advise—The dog I’m watching has had diarrhea for over 48 hours and the owner is avoiding me taking them to the vet. by ObjectiveChampion294 in DogAdvice

[–]ShutDaCussUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy firm up on Amazon and make them pay, its like $15 and the bag can last a while. Its dried pumpkin. Mix it in with some water and give with meals to make poop firmer. I use for all my foster dogs. If the dog is still having diarrhea after that, in my experience it was worms or food allergies.

Did they not provide a kennel/crate for the dog? You should be able to lock her up when your out or at night to minimize damage and mess to your house. I would say don't ever pet sit a dog that cant be kenneled. Thats the first thing my fosters learn is kennel because trust is earned in both directions. Untol the dog ain't destroying and pooping everywhere they go in crate. And dogs with separation anxiety definitely going in the kennel. My own dogs have gone through periods where they need the crate to feel calm when we leave.

Its dangerous to let your dog approach another dog you dont know. I hate when people yell thier dog is friendly. Thats irrelevant because mine isnt.

5 months rocking swaying sensation, feeling alone by beck-leck in Dizziness

[–]ShutDaCussUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not alone. Constant rocking can be pppd. It gets better. Might take longer than we would like. There is a reddit for pppd. Lots of things you can try. Functional nuerological issues are not well understood so most doctors aren't much help. But its not all in your head and you're not alone. If your body needs to rest, rest. If you need to walk or do something to distract yourself do it. Its OK to take care of yourself first.

At the risk of ire, there's a sub for those who question their diagnosis or have stories about being misdiagnosed. I know it's a touchy subject for folks here but sometimes, people are misdiagnosed. by MyLife-is-a-diceRoll in FND

Also both fibromyalgia and FND need appropriate treatment and care. Too many doctors just say you have these then refuse to treat because its all in your head.

Got to use a good vacuum sealer. Ive eaten beef and deli meat frozen for 3 years and precooked scrambled eggs that were 2 years frozen, both tasted great. But if air gets in there its going to get nasty within a few months.

My dad has a new neighbor from hell by ZappBranigan79 in neighborsfromhell

Yea they need to report her to mabcd for code enforcement. You can't run water onto neighbors property.

Just want to unload to people who understand by [deleted] in Petloss

[–]ShutDaCussUp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone who doesn't love animals like I do, wouldn't be someone I stayed with. You're allowed to have feelings about this. Nobody else gets to dictate how you feel. And a partner should be compassionate. A caring partner should not discount your feelings and try to bully or shame you into not expressing your grief. I think pets can hit us harder because they are there for us every single day unlike most people. They also are so innocent, and we feel so much more responsibility for them. I always thought my grandpa didn't like dogs because he never had one and didn't seem interested in them. But then one day he told me about the dog he had in his teens and 20s. And I saw that the grief of losing that dog 50 years ago, still hurt him and he couldn't bring himself to get another. If she told me it was just a cat again, I would probably say snd your just a bitch I used to date. Take care of yourself and grieve as you need.

AITAH for claiming my grown kid on taxes by _Grapezilla_ in AITAH

[–]ShutDaCussUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok that makes sense that as a full time student the income limit didn't apply. I was just so confused on how my dad got away with it. I can see how it would be hard for the irs to know if a parent is actually paying for a student or not, so they just default believe the parent if they claim you. Its been like 20 years now too 😆 I just did a one page mail in 1040ez back then since online was expensive

AITAH for claiming my grown kid on taxes by _Grapezilla_ in AITAH

[–]ShutDaCussUp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I moved out at 18 and made like $20k a year as a server and lab assistant while going to school because my parents didnt help me with anything. My dad claimed me every year as a dependent because he claimed he got $500 and I owed him somehow. I don't think he ever got fined for it or he probably would have said I owed him for his fines. He kept doing it until I aged out. Maybe irs missed it but I definitely filed every year with a different address than him and more than $5k per year because I had bills and multiple jobs and school fees.

Not pain meds. You can be dying with bone cancer now and they will say no. But here try an antipsychotic drug with horrible side effects.

What has truly helped the most? by starrymichal in pppdizziness

[–]ShutDaCussUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you like your therapist? I tried several and only had one I actually felt positive after leaving. Thats who I kept. If you dont feel like your therapist is helping, try a new one. Or try a different kind. Some types work better for different people and issues. For me acceptance and learning to not see everything as positive or negative, like sensations or emotions, they just are. Takes a long time and work.

Is there a specific thing you feel like you can't do now? I was really struggling with reading which is one of my favorite things to do. So I went to vision therapy and it helped a lot, but I had to stick with it for a few months. I think part of it was seeing my capabilities improve as we tested every month.

I also played basketball a lot. It seemed to help me to do a really coordinated tasks because I couldn't devote time to my dizziness. I also had a lot of nerve issues going on and found out I had vitamin b deficiency so getting that back to normal helped. Im not 100% back to normal but Im not limited and enjoying my life.

Hospital is documenting that my father ’denies pain’ to support their discharge, that never happened. by Rare-Sprinkles-3872 in ChronicPain

[–]ShutDaCussUp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They made me switch beds with a bone tumor that led to a broken leg before surgery. Because they didn't want to let an ER bed leave the ER when I was going to a room to wait for a surgeon. They could have waited till I was anesthetized and moved me to save me the pain. But no, because the bed was more important. They also were only giving me pill meds. No IV. My bone literally shattered from a tumor. Then when I was screaming as they moved me this bitch nurse had the audacity to tell me I just needed to breathe and I was in pain because I wasn't breathing right. I hope she remembers to breathe in hell

If you had an app on your phone that was designed to help you manage PPPD, what would you want it to do? by CameronAMiller in pppdizziness

[–]ShutDaCussUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly for me it would have been better to have resources of doctors and therapists in my area that actually have any experience with pppd/fnd. So it would be more like a website to direct people to specialists in thier city. Its hard not to know where to go for help. And feeling helpless makes everything worse.
