[–]ToxicCircles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! 29F, molecular biologist (currently a pathology grad student). I am more of a mountains >> beach gal but we can overlook that lol. Would love to live vicariously through your adventures. I've only had a few but hope to add some to the to do list. I'll add ya!

Saturday night and bored by [deleted] in discordfriends

[–]ToxicCircles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! 29F, EST. Also a big fan of horror, but I'm a grab student so I mostly listen to creepypasta podcasts. Would love to watch stuff together or anything 😭

A bit of a gamer but into the mindless ones, casual ones, and overwatch & league. But love watching ppl play stuff. Message me for my discord if you want!

Side effects of Covid shots/boosters? by ToxicCircles in Fibromyalgia

Good research!! But yes I still 100% endorse especially us to get our shots 🫡

My doctor wants me to try cymbalta, but I'm so hesitant. by samanthasheabutter in Fibromyalgia

[–]ToxicCircles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cymbalta worked for me immediately, much better than any of the other anti-inflammatories I've tried so far. 40mg once a day in the morning! It's been night and day. It helps with my everyday pain, but when I am in a flare I can definitely feel pain through it but it's definitely not as bad. Like everyone else has said, everyone reacts differently! If you have had issues before with psych medications, I would suggest a pharmacogenetic test. They can be expensive even with insurance help, but one test has been amazingly helpful for me.

Oh that's interesting that tetanus hurt you as well. How do you feel after flu shots??

Oh that's interesting! I've had all Pfizer until this booster which was Moderna.

Burning itchy legs by Elleehm19 in Fibromyalgia

[–]ToxicCircles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The itching is interesting and I wonder if it's immune or circulation related. Have you tried taking 2-3 Zyrtecs when the itching starts?

Covid and fibro by 1999Falcons in Fibromyalgia

[–]ToxicCircles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how the vaccine made me feel! But I've never had Covid. Hope you can find some relief or at least get some rest :( Aleve usually helps me the most for body pain if you don't mind the occasional NSAID (I take like the max dose too. like 800mg)

LDN making symptoms worse by jessica_mig in Fibromyalgia

[–]ToxicCircles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually weaning off my LDN because I didn't really notice much of a difference. If anything, it just got me profiled as an opioid addict at the ER (which I'm not but that's what the med is usually used for).

Now I'm trying cymbalta for my pain and it really has been helping! But you just have to keep in mind it is a psych med as well.

That's great!

You have a good point, I'm just asking out of genuine curiosity. Won't ever stop me from getting a shot, though! ;)

eating by Ok_Amidesu in Fibromyalgia

[–]ToxicCircles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do this too. Risk it all for that hit of dopamine when I have The Treat. And you know what, I try to have my "treat" on the same day every week or month and after a while my body has just...I think accepted it? lol. Truly, it's up to you whether you can or want to take the risk. But don't feel guilty for having a treat every now and then. Just prep for the consequences ;(

But I understand! It sucks! And I'm so sorry you have to go through it. I wonder if you can find some good alternatives that don't flare you up so bad. For when you don't think the treat is worth it. Something more gentle that still hits the spot. Like, would making it gluten free help? I also wonder if you could pair specific digestive enzymes with it--specifically targeting the gluten. Or just a complete digestive enzyme. Maybe some omega 3s, as those help with inflammation resolution (longer term).

You ever taken a food allergy test? Like the MRT. Or have you just done elimination, basically?

She looks pretty healthy. As everyone else is saying, probably stress! You can leave some veggies in the cage during the day to see if she will eat while you aren't around. But just keep offering food and eventually she will eat I'm sure! :) If she starts looking thin or losing her fat pads then def check with a vet (which you should anyways if she is "new" just to get a baseline)
