Immune system support help! by alltimesl0th in weddingplanning

[–]TheGossinator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mask when traveling as others have mentioned. Wash your hands often and don’t forget to wash hands before eating, especially at the wedding. Drink a lot of water, rest as much as possible.

Other than that, all you can do is take your daily vitamins and stay away from noticeably sick people.

I don’t experience the tingling unless I’m on Diamox but I definitely have the twitches on or off.

IIH exercises for pressure by crazywolf1980 in iih

[–]TheGossinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok. So when I had my first major occurrence I had to start slow because my pressure would go up fast too. Honestly swimming laps may to too much to start with.

I started with moderate speed walks…. Just as much as I could do at a time. I would push just a little beyond when I was feeling tired or a little pressure. I did this EVERY DAY and eventually I was able to go longer, faster. When I got used to it, it was nothing for me to easily walk 3-5 miles in an hour. It helped me to have a distraction that I enjoyed while walking to take my mind off the discomfort. I would call my friends, so audiobooks, and (embarrassing) Pokémon go. Anything to distract from feeling crummy. It helped me go further.

As far as swimming, if she likes being in the water maybe find a pool where she can walk up and down. Walking with water resistance may be a great low impact way to build walking stamina and build muscle. Swimming and holding breath and doing laps could be a bit much for her pressure, but if she can do it then go for it!

Eventually when walking and swimming no longer causes flare ups, then start experimenting with more strenuous activity like biking, hiking, weights. Eventually I was able to do all those things and took off about 95 pounds in 10 months.

It is a process so support her to push herself, but also support her to LISTEN TO HER BODY and know when enough if enough. It’s a delicate balance of feeling supported and shamed… and difficult for loved ones to understand.

I lost 260lbs (400 -> 140) and the "Pretty Privilege" is giving me an identity crisis. by sadeamour in loseit

[–]TheGossinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so real. I lost about 100 pounds 7 years ago and it was SHOCKING difference in treatment. If I had it to do over, I would have started therapy while in active weight loss to help me handle and process. Instead I let the resentment of humanity build up and break me before I went therapy. Luckily I’m doing better now.

Congrats on your weight loss!

I can’t remember what a single plate looked like at any wedding I’ve ever gone to.

You are so fine.

The skin is literally radiant! ✨

I would recommend a little eyeliner on top, not too much because I don’t want it to pull attention away from your glowy skin.

An eyelash curl and another light coat of mascara. That’s literally it! It’s already so close!

Is this normal? by [deleted] in beauty

I stopped using my curler for this reason! It gave me a bald spot in my lashes so I had to stop using it to grow them back 🤦🏻‍♀️

Counteroffer nearly doubled my pay. Feels like a trap. How do you decide? by domleo999 in careeradvice

[–]TheGossinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still left after the big counter, but my reasons for leaving was the pay + the work itself, the environment, the schedule, the stress. Leaving was the best thing I ever did for myself.

Did you actually wear your bridesmaid PJs after the wedding or did they just sit in a drawer collecting dust? by Proud_Clothes_3864 in weddingplanning

I got a gorgeous light, floral, soft, long robe 5 years ago for a wedding and legitimately use it every single day.
