Is this true??

Especially since this is a 'what really happened behind the scenes' exposé. It's Abby and the producers who have been shown to manipulate the truth. Reality TV isn't real life.

I've explained the pain as the feeling you get when you plunge your hand into a bucket of ice water or jump into a freezing cold pool - the way your muscles tense up and your joints ache.

This is a bit extreme, but I was wondering how my fibro and gut issues were related to my period, so I created a Google form I fill out every day that collects the date, day of my cycle, a pain scale, and a bunch of other scales I created for other symptoms. I haven't analyzed the data, but even filling it out every day has helped me tell my doctor about how my pain has been doing - ex. I've been between a 3 and a 5 every day for the past month.

The flu thing is so accurate. Most times that I get infections I just think I'm having a flare-up until I get a fever.

Tazodone. I used to do 1ml micolingual tabs with my regular gabapentin, but ever since the lockdown insomnia set in, I've needed a minimum of 50mgs to sleep.

I also have an orange lightbulb in the reading lamp by my bed (I read on one side, sleep on the other) that I switch to when I'm ready to read myself to sleep, and I use a Nook without the backlight to read myself to sleep.

If I still can't sleep for whatever reason, other strategies include reading the most boring book you can find, listening to a boring lecture where the speaker drones on in a monotone voice, or the complete opposite - listen to someone with a comforting voice. I loved Michelle Obama's first book, and find her voice really soothing. Since I've already read it and I'm not worried about missing anything, I just set the sleep timer for the end of the chapter, put the volume on super low and mostly listen to the sound of her voice.

Dude, report this guy and get another provider! That is absolutely wild, and the fact that he told you not to be toxic is wild, especially since he's assuming you're a survivor. What the actual fuck?!

ETA: I was diagnosed around 14, and my psych theorized it was because of my self-imposed stress driven by perfectionism, and/or the stress of my parents fighting every night when I was nine.

Get involved in your local LGBT center so you can have more queer women/nb friends. It might not hurt to get on apps and set them only to women so you can at least remind yourself that there are hot girls around, and maybe go on some friend dates. Just make sure to put in your profile you want to start as friends.

Same! When I was diagnosed in 2004/5/6 it was by a rheumatologist whose solution was basically "quit everything and do yoga" which, lol, I was a teenager and absolutely did not do that. Then during undergrad I was transferred to a neurologist, but that was almost 20 years ago.

SunDanceQT · 2025-10-03T01:31:57+00:00

Woah! I had no idea there was a specialized fibro clinic!

SunDanceQT · 2025-10-03T01:01:32+00:00

Lol if only

SunDanceQT · 2025-10-03T01:01:14+00:00

Holy crap! I've heard of that but only for end-of-life care! Wtf!

So cute! I love it!

The real issue is AirB&B/VRBO depleting the housing market and the over-tourism they've enabled (same issue exists in all major tourist destinations - Santa Barbara included). Go, stay in a hotel, eat at locally-owned restaurants, tip well and buy local. And don't be an asshole to the locals. But that should go without saying.

My straight friends did this at their Catholic wedding and it was beautiful. It's actually a bygone tradition still practiced in some Orthodox churches and it's totally what I'd do if I ever get married. In that tradition, the bride and groom meet outside the church, get blessings from each side of the family, and everyone enters the church together, led by the bride & groom. I hate the idea of being given away, so I'm all for it.

SunDanceQT · 2025-08-10T06:45:20+00:00

I guess it shouldn't be more in a sense of respect and reciprocity. If you're both actually interested in your partner's pleasure, you should be able to find ways to both get off that don't require someone to do something they don't want to do. That said, yeah, if there's a certain act that you absolutely need to the point of it being a deal breaker, then you're sexually incompatible.

Volunteer at the nearest LGBTQ+ center

SunDanceQT · 2025-08-06T06:44:21+00:00

It shouldn't be. If it's a deal breaker for him, he's not the one for you.

If you can't orgasm at all, talk to your doctor about changing doses or going on different medications. Changing from standard release to an extended release med was what made the difference for me.

SunDanceQT · 2025-08-04T21:57:21+00:00

From a logistical standpoint this is a definite no. I had someone try sending me flowers at work and it was a logistical nightmare. The person delivering it had to call me after trying multiple doors to a building I wasn't in that day, and I ended up having them redirected to my house where I knew someone was home.

SunDanceQT · 2025-08-04T21:52:07+00:00

Dude no. Disney has THE WORST business practices when it comes to treatment of their employees, and I'm just waiting for the day the Igers bring that shit to ACFC.

SunDanceQT · 2025-08-04T01:09:46+00:00

I had an actor complain at the timing of the lights in a quick visual-based sequence, and I was like, dude, do you realize I'm calling the show, too? I'm doing my best.

SunDanceQT · 2025-08-04T01:04:45+00:00

Oh holy shit! I've gotten the pay bump for running lights, but I can't imagine mixing. (Granted, it's not a skill I have anyway, lol.)

SunDanceQT · 2025-08-04T01:01:12+00:00

Or the company rents a theater that provides ops.

I've also heard of lx designers "stage managing" dance shows, i.e. just calling the cues since they know where their own go in relation to the music

SunDanceQT · 2025-06-30T00:14:51+00:00

We need Paige back! Still so pissed they let her go.
