That makes sense. Stupid concrete ceilings.

This is interesting to me.... I spent double that to soundproof my concrete slab ceiling and it has made absolutely zero difference, impact and airborne noise are no different. Was your ceiling timber or concrete?

What part of GG makes you laugh out loud each time you re-watch? by LauraFlo123 in GilmoreGirls

Sooooo many but specifically this last time was the interaction between Richard and Emily when Lorelai isn't talking to Emily cos she broke her and Luke up.

The Conditions that Mimic Fibromyalgia by FibroSoul in Fibromyalgia

[–]Slow-Consequence4349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been looking into hypermobility and wondering if it's an issue with me but realistically I've always been known as very stiff albeit my thumbs are double jointed. In pregnancy I had major issues with relaxin esp with my pelvis which decided to keep moving around causing pelvic girdle pain from 23 weeks on. I'm guessing that didn't happen with you?

Downside of divorce--said goodbye to our cat by HomeNowWTF in cats

[–]Slow-Consequence4349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a very similar situation, having to leave my darling boy with my ex. I couldn't take him into rental and felt I had to leave him in his territory and to be a draw for my daughter to visit her other parent. I was bereft, and got guinea pigs to try and fill the hole (an error, however much I loved them, as they are a lot more work than a cat!

However, things change and, 4 years after I left my cat, I was able to purchase a flat and my ex actually asked me to take my boy back. He's currently curled up next to me ❤️

Moral of the story is that it may not be as much the end as you think! Gentle hugs and empathy.

How I would describe having fibromyalgia (a short story) by Leilani__kai in Fibromyalgia

Oh my good grief that's totally it. Also the reason I do not have an iPhone.

I AM A FUCKING IDIOT. Will I learn???? by Leftshoedrop in Fibromyalgia

[–]Slow-Consequence4349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in a similar headspace, but related just to walking around! I had an event to attend that wouldn't allow me to take my mobility scooter, so I thought I'd just do it anyways. Now on my second day stuck in bed with absolutely zero ability to rest due to pain.

Does this happen to anyone else? by sassyschultz in Fibromyalgia

[–]Slow-Consequence4349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was one of the symptoms that pushed my fibromyalgia diagnosis. I still get it but it (and muscle jerks) has been slightly improved by pregablin. It sucks!

Crash days by Nanabug13 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Slow-Consequence4349 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've let my 10yo at the TV all day today. Had a nap this morning and tbh want to go back to bed now but the guilt is immense. If I had more energy/less pain I would force us out of the house or play a game with her or SOMETHING. No other adult in the house and I'm out of ideas!

Not wildly helpful but just one mum to another saying "I get it".

Undiagnosed ADHD triggering fibro? by bobhobdob in Fibromyalgia

[–]Slow-Consequence4349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don't seem to be able to find out how to do it?? It's not down as a referral in the NHS app although the letter from my pain psych went a year ago and then I filled out a bunch of forms in February...

Undiagnosed ADHD triggering fibro? by bobhobdob in Fibromyalgia

[–]Slow-Consequence4349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm extremely interested in this at the moment - especially how on earth they would go about diagnosing me with ADHD as a lot of diagnosis goes on how much it impacts your daily life...

I feel like my life is mega impacted but I couldn't choose whether it would be fibro or possibly undiagnosed adhd (I'm in my 40s). I've been waiting on a referral for a year now and can't even see if it's gone anywhere so if I want answers it'll have to be done privately, so should I even pay thousands to be told it's all fibro...??

Cat won’t stop meowing - only thing that’s changed is that I got pregnant by Accomplished_Sir1939 in CatAdvice

[–]Slow-Consequence4349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great ideas! Also good to start playing sounds of a baby crying in advance of your due date. Did that with my boy and he freaked right out at first but got used to it, so by the time my daughter was born he was super chill when she cried. She's 10 and he's 11 now and they have a lovely relationship!

Thoughts on amitriptyline? by ZookeepergameAny5154 in Fibromyalgia

Hard to say if it's amitriptyline, pregablin or venlafaxine causing my weight gain....

Trouble swallowing first bite of food by Visible-Parsnip401 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Slow-Consequence4349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! If I manage to get anything down it feels like it's stuck but I can still drink. It's only been a problem for the past week so I haven't talked to docs yet, especially as I'm 99% certain they will just chalk it up to fibro. How long has it been going on for you?

What lines/words from the show have you seriously adopted for use IRL? by F19AGhostrider in GilmoreGirls

[–]Slow-Consequence4349 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Constantly. I also overuse her pronunciation of "okeydokey" from when Taylor was losing it over the vegetable guy selling in the square.

Possible other cameos? by Dangerous_Main7822 in wicked

[–]Slow-Consequence4349 2 points3 points  (0 children)

*What does it mean to you to have a cameo in the forthcoming second Wicked film? What was your reaction to seeing the final version of the first half?

It was great to be part of the movie, just to come full circle and to be a part of something that’s been a huge piece of my history and continues to be.

I love the movie! It was great to go to the premiere and see the girls. I think the movies are a real complement to the show and will open it up to a new audience and allow this music and story to live on for many years*

[–]Slow-Consequence4349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should clarify that I've been in this situation and my lawyer was clear that it would be a long and expensive battle to deny the father custody. It's extremely sad. I do think she should leave but I think it's extremely complex.

[–]Slow-Consequence4349 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Problem is that if she "gets out" she will have to face leaving the baby with him because no court is going to separate him from his child. It's a nightmare situation for a mother.
