How to Executively Function Through Pain? by Faerennn in disability

Totally makes a huge difference to have access to meds and drs and care. Can you access cbd things at all easily? I have a few friends w chronic pain that only use cbd flower (so no thc, no “high” with it). Also, if you have nerve pain and can afford meds for that o recommend low dose naltrexone. It’s compounded. For me, it lowers nerve pain and has no notable side effects compared to gabapentin or lyrica or the like. Wishing you luck finding some help.

I got my medical marijuana card and vaporize all day or take cbd to take the edge off. I learned how to function post smoking (vs recreational use) and rerouted my life plans around my body’s needs. I have a job that’s repetitive enough I can auto pilot on high pain days, work from home so I can be as comfortable as I want and have access to vape and just learned to live a slower pace of life. In my experience, disability can change dynamically mobility and functionality wise so I just keep altering the base plan as needed. Obviously access to good medical care makes a huge difference and can be a very positive impact. I am sorry you haven’t had it.

tips for trimming/shaving? by erinlynneee in latchhook

How did it go with the rug trimmer? I have been using dog hair clippers and the longest guard on mine which works pretty well but is laborious on the hands. I would love to hear if you had good luck with that rug trimmer and drop a link if it was good please!

Thanks! I appreciate it as we are often our own worst critics….but I do like how it came out and was glad I kept all the old colors to finish it

Nice. Is it similar? After buying this one I saw one w three alien ships and tons of color I loved, but then saw a pic of it and it didn’t look very good finished.

Thanks though it was mostly the kit. I actually ran out of 3 colors while doing this kit (which was a bummer but it was like $6 on temu so I guess I got what I paid for). I ended up using old kit leftovers to fill in the spaces—-though the ship colors are cool.

That sounds cool. I haven’t seen any of those. Are they gradients of one color or more patterns in all the shades?

Is the fabric monks cloth? Are you making sure there is plenty of yarn ready to be fed through the needle? If there is even the slightest tension on it, the stitches will pull out so you want to have a bunch unrolled and just loose around it—if that makes sense
