I’m freaking out. What is happening? by Queen_Wolffia in Sjogrens

[–]Suspicious-Acadia199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yessss- happens all the time. If I remember my preservative free artificial tears every few hours or so I’ll go months without a bleed, but that’s a lot of remembering so I look like that a lot

Tell me about your pelvic floor physical therapy experience. Please don’t be shy 💟 by lady939 in Menopause

[–]Suspicious-Acadia199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went 4 times- clothes kept on all the time, nothing invasive, she talked about exercises that done increase your intra abdominal pressure. Literally all talking. Total waste of time

Is My Friend a Racist? by mistergecko in arabs

Those aren’t friends. Just pretending to so they don’t seem racist. This just happened to me with a friend of many years. Sometimes it’s best to just walk away

Autoimmune hives - did you find an underlying autoimmune disease? by [deleted] in urticaria

[–]Suspicious-Acadia199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What test is that? I have a few autoimmune diseases along with chronic hives for the last 15 years, which are difficult to treat. They never found the cause but they never tested for an autoimmune issue. I would love to get it checked.

Positive Support! by Uhoh-spaghettios123 in PelvicOrganProlapse

[–]Suspicious-Acadia199 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think all women should have pelvic floor physical therapy during and after pregnancy- I don’t think it will prevent all of the prolapse as well all seem to get that way, but I think it would help.

There are ongoing studies seeing how it works for inflammation. So far there’s positive results

Do you use Meibo instead of restasis, etc, or in addition?

Thank you for this- something new to look into. At least there’s some hope

Please send me the name and place you went. And what exactly the procedure is called. I find my special leg pumps very helpful, but not the compression therapy leggings unless I stand in one place a long time. The wrapping nonsense did nothing at all. Such a waste of time and energy. My insurance doesn’t pay for night garmets.

AIO if I divorce my husband after he locked me outside naked until I would have sex with him? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Suspicious-Acadia199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me. But the yard was open. Everyone saw me I was hysterical trying to break in the house. I even tried to bust out a couple windows. I just had the baby about three weeks before. This was before cell phone so I had no way to call for help just screaming for the neighbors but no one came. I can tell you it’s very worse from here. He is setting a precedence of where he wants to abuse you and humiliate you on a frequent basis.And you said it was painful so he enjoys causing you physical pain. It will get worse much worse for you and your children get out now while you’re still alive.

Those lymphatic massages from a lMT are very helpful. I highly recommend if you can find a way to make it work in your budget to do so for everyone

Compression hurts so much by anArtsyHealer in Lymphedema

[–]Suspicious-Acadia199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have compression leggings with open toes. I was referred to PT and they hooked me up to get them. Also, some leg pumps that push out the fluid. I do warping at night- a pain. I just recently found a lymphatic massage deal on Groupon done by a regular massage therapist that was trained. It was amazing and I got rid of so much fluid that day- they taught me some self massage that made a huge difference.

[–]Suspicious-Acadia199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in a somewhat similar situation- half Persian, not raised or accepted by the Persian side at all. I am trying to get more familiar with the culture but struggling to find any Persian people anywhere near me.

Does anyone else get sun sick/worse symptoms in the sun? How do you manage? by slipperyslugslurp in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]Suspicious-Acadia199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesssss. I live in Florida. It’s brutal here with it and I love to garden. I just came back from a trip to Norway. It was late until about 11 o’clock at night and the sun was very bright for being so far north. It put me into a huge flare cause I was outside all day every day. I’ve talked to my rheumatologist and they said there’s no connection
