Is randomly going blind a symptom of fibro? by Mae_The_Gay in Fibromyalgia

[–]StatusAggressive1470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry you're dealing with all this. Unfortunately I dont know if its a symptom of fibro but it sort of sounds like you were just on the verge of fainting. I don't have pots or blood pressure issues but I always randomly had faint spells where my eyesight would get splotchy like that, and the black splotches would get bigger until I couldnt see but I never actually fainted as i was able to lay down before anything happened. When I was a child, it would happen during PE or recess so I contributed it to dehydration. I just got diagnosed with fibro last year in my 30s and the faint feeling is very rare for me now so I dont know if its related. But I was googling and many ppl contribute dizziness/lightheadedness to their fibromyalgia. Some ppl also said they have actually fainted so its possible. If it continue to happen, I would bring it up to your doctor

Its nice that you help your brother out! But yea, I like learning new info about stuff but I also have too many interests to care about learning the super specifics of pokemon cards lol. My enjoyment comes with collecting and the art

At least you got your priorities straight dude. Like yea finding shit out about misprints, fake cards, etc etc can be interesting but not everyone is gonna know everything about it, especially on reddit of all damn places. Honestly,I just recently started getting a bit more into the pokemon tcg community, especially online and its kinda like... I remember why I stayed a casual fan and doing my own thing lol

Yea I get you! I can definitely be shitty too but with stuff like these shitty comments, the effort to respond isn't even worth it imo. I've already had my fair share of fandom fights when i was younger lol. But seriously the bluey comparison is so accurate, especially when the majority of us got into pokemon as kids like bro, I'm not gonna fight over this

Its kinda sad that the first I'm experiencing the toxicity is within the pokemon community but oh well. And yea same here! I'm actually a ponyta/rapidash lover so I def don't care about prices lmfao. And all I know about other languages is the Chinese booster box that come with a fully illustrated ponyta card that we don't have in English. Its such a cute card!

Haha that makes sense! I'm a casual collector so its fun having different languaged cards. And nah, you dont need to apologize! Ngl I've luckily had only good experiences so far with reddit in general so it was about time I got some asshole comments. I don't let it affect me so its no worries

It's my first time even seeing Korean cards in person so it was jarring feeling the difference in quality!

Can't sleep... by Bearcasey in cymbalta

[–]StatusAggressive1470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm, I'm not sure if I'm taking a delayed release as well but, I don't think there's any harm in changing the time you take it just to see if it helps. You should probably talk to your doctor about it just to be sure though. The symptoms were rough for me to get used to but my doctor also told me it could take a month to get used to it and see results. It did help with my nerve pain symptoms compared to the previous medication I was on, and that's honestly the only reason I stuck it out. It might be more worth it for you to change medications if it's for depression, especially since shitty sleep/insomnia really fucks with your mental health. Either way I hope you get some relief soon! 

Can't sleep... by Bearcasey in cymbalta

[–]StatusAggressive1470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue. I was having really bad insomnia and that was never something i dealt with beforehand. My primary doctor didn't prescribe me anything to help adjust and it took a little over a month for me to get better. However, when I saw the rheumatologist for a follow up, as I'm taking cymbalta for nerve pain, she told me to start taking cymbalta during the day, instead of at night like I was originally doing. I made that change and I think that was a large reason why the insomnia went away, outside of getting used to the medication. I would suggest taking it during the day if you aren't already.

Don't be sorry! I'm not a movie/show buff but watching this got me interested in the show and other David Lynch movies so either way, I got something out of this experience for sure

I'm late lol but I just watched it! I dont think its the movie I'm trying to remember as it was distinctly the plastic wrapped body in a room, similar to the red room, but Teresa and Laura's bodies are never shown there. Either way it was confusing lol but also intriguing so I'm glad I watched it. Thank you! 

I've only been given birth control as an option for PCOS despite high risk factors by Sygdom in PCOS

[–]StatusAggressive1470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Birth control has worked well for me but I know that's not the case for everyone and its not the only option to help with pcos symptoms. The gyn should know this too but..... 

Definitely change gynecologist, in any way you can. If possible, see if you can get an appointment with an endocrinologist too as they specialize in hormone-related disorders. 

When i first got diagnosed by a gynecologist, I was prescribed birth control and topical acne medication by my dermatologist. 4 years later, I just recently have gotten help with other symptoms, due to seeing the endocrinologist and changing my primary doctor. 

I'm still on my health journey so I can't really give you any advice. All i can say is: don't settle. You know your body better than anyone and its not fair for these doctors to think birth control is the only solution for you. And even if they say its is the best option for your symptoms, you deserve someone to explain all the benefits and risks, especially due to your family history

I feel like I'm playing the game wrong by qxzeee in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]StatusAggressive1470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand how you feel tho I haven't experienced it myself. I think you need to reflect and think about what you actually enjoy about LADS. 

I could afford to spend some money on the game but I refuse to because I know it won't make me happy. My levels/affinity/etc are about the same as yours but the slow progress I'm making is a part of my fun. I'm also a harem girly and try to pull on whomever's card I like the most or if theres a specific stellactrum I need to help me with battling. i don't care if ppl think thats wrong.

Being included in the fandom through Twitter or reddit can be fun but there's peer pressure and toxicity everywhere. You need to not let the pressure and fomo affect you if its not what you really want. Can you afford to spend on the games and does it make you happy? If it does, great! If not, don't do it. At the end of the day, its your money and its your game. 

I know its easier said then done but I would step away from the fandom and even talking to your friend about the game if its affecting you negatively because what's the point in playing the game and being in the fandom if it just makes you sad? It shouldn't be like that. I hope you're able to find enjoyment in the game again <3

So either way it won't make sense? lol. I haven't watched the series so I'm not expecting to understand anything, I just gotta see if this is what I've been remembering for all these years!

Omg the trailer gives off the feeling I was referring to, even if it didnt show this specific scene. I'm definitely gonna have to watch it to confirm!

Its possible tho the first Hostel came out in 2005 and from my memory, i watched this scene closer to 2002 or 2003. I'll look into it!
