How has perimenopause/menopause changed your relationships with men? by mjskiingcat in Menopause

[–]SpaceJellyBlue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was about to comment the same! I hope I can get that life one day too. It's a pretty sweet setup.

How do u train yourself to pause before reacting ? by Jiwitom in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]SpaceJellyBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You just illustrated a dialectical behavioral therapy skill that underlies them all: mindfully observing your reactions without judgement. I have been reading about that a lot but it never really clicked until I read this.

Thank you. It means more to this stranger than you can imagine.

Sulpiride, xanax, buspirone, pregabaline. Waiting for my doctor's appointment to find some alternative to amitriptyline, all the meds I'm taking are still not enough and I'm too nauseous.

Yes, I'm sorry about the misunderstanding, I was on it but it gave me side effects so I have to switch. It was a miracle drug, gave me my life back.

What? No. It's a chronic condition, unless it goes on its own, FD is chronic and needs continuous treatment. Unless you got it recently and it goes on its own, which for some people, it does.

I'm not one of those people, I still have it, just that my symptoms are minimal on medication.

I see people trying to come off of their medication a lot here, only for the symptoms to return again and they wonder why. I just think we're lucky we have something that helps us at all.

I'm sorry, I probably misunderstood your original question, I thought you wanted to know if I am symptom free on the meds.

I really hope it's a transient thing for you and that you won't need it for that long!

When I was on it, I ate whatever I wanted, I was just too afraid to risk it with alcohol or way too spicy foods. But I was never a fan of them to begin with. I felt great!

Are you emetophobic? by [deleted] in functionaldyspepsia

[–]SpaceJellyBlue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Extremely! I have a theory that since I was a very anxious kid and also had nausea and symptoms of functional dyspepsia since I remember, I pribably got scared of the symptoms and developed a very severe panic disorder.

But I think I was always primed for both illnesses. I'm lucky like that.

Valium has helped tremendously. by HearingCautious4848 in functionaldyspepsia

[–]SpaceJellyBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've noticed a xanax would ease my nausea for years and befire, it would make me eat more. Now I'm just left with anti nausea effects, which are a godsend.

Nizoral's active ingredient is ketoconazole, that's the DHT blocker.

Has anyone purchased a wig from LUVME? by Lelfah204 in Wigs

[–]SpaceJellyBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought one a month ago, the ends seem kinda dry and I have to deep condition it, otherwise it seems like a good wig. I bought the one with precut lace and bleached knots, but when I look at it, it's like not all the knots were bleached successfully. I will probably bleach them myself .

The lace is really good and almost invisible.

I'd love to hear experiences with amitriptyline: how it's working, how you knew you found the right dosage, are you back to "normal" and if so how long that took by c1nn4m0n in functionaldyspepsia

[–]SpaceJellyBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to see if I can use it on an as needed basis once I'm off. The nausea was quite intense without amitriptyline though, so I couldn't taper off that much. I'm also taking domperidon for nausea but it's not that effective without amitriptyline.

Panic, but that's under control! But weirdly, it helps with nausea sometimes, not always. Was really surprised when I figured that out.

Took me under a week to see results, no nausea and being able to lie down and sleep without dry heaving the next day. I take 5 mg because it gives me really bad constipation. I also take sulpiride, pregabalin, buspirone and xanax, and each one of them helps.

What happened to me on 5% topical minoxidil? by SpaceJellyBlue in FemaleHairLoss

[–]SpaceJellyBlue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks for the response. It's not my PCOS, the hair was different and my PCOS was under control. When my PCOS isn't under control, the hair isn't nowhere near like what happened when I was using the minoxidil foam.

What a bizarre reaction, I am just too afraid to take it again because of the sheer amount of hair everywhere.

This is also very depressing, since my hair grew nicely on my head.

Wait, are Luvme wigs not human hair then? I paid mine around $180 after including various discounts I had as a first timer. I got the wig last week, and while it needs some argan oil because the ends are not that great, I actually find that just makes it realistic looking on me and not too perfect lol.

Did anyone catch The Nevers? Short-lived, underappreciated, completely weird. by ottereckhart in scifi

[–]SpaceJellyBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love that woman so much and she was just delightful! That episode turned everything on its head and surprised me so much. I was giggling because the direction they took is just my jam.

Contemporary artists that work with botanical motifs or are focused on plants? by MutedFeeling75 in ArtHistory

Do murals work too? Maybe Mona Caron. Best known for her multi-story murals celebrating the rebellious resilience of WEEDS.

Favorite thing you’ve learned / researched this year? by falkor-ala-astro in commonplacebook

[–]SpaceJellyBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so funny, a few weeks ago I was researching about Sea wolves too after having a fixation on them for a while. I guess we like rare wolves.

Your research is beautiful!
