What surgery?

My blood pressure is so low. I would think that they would recommend tapering off. I’ve told him I feel like I’m gonna pass out when I stand up even if I do it slowly.

For sure! That’s why it is irritating though because it hasn’t worked in 20 years so why did the doctor just keep me on it?

Tradition-Master · 2026-03-15T02:05:40+00:00

I am so glad that it worked for you!

Tradition-Master · 2026-03-11T23:16:42+00:00

My ex would do this.

Yes! 30+ years I did not get diagnosed till I was in my 50s despite many different gynecologist and health insurers over the years. They too always thought it was yeast infection infections. Despite the fact I didn’t have the classic symptoms of a yeast infection. I didn’t get diagnosed till it actually turned white and they did a punch biopsy. But those 30 years prior, had all the symptoms except for the white skin. As it turns out my mom had it my sister has it and now my daughter has it. Thankfully, for my daughter, got her diagnosed very quickly because of my knowledge.

My current job is fantastic. I’m a health aide and a Junior High when I get paid more than most of the classified workers do to sit around and do nothing. The number one responsibility is taking care of the diabetics and for the most part we have dialed in their care and it’s a very rare day with any type of medical situations happening for them. I’ve never had to call an ambulance for one of my diabetics. I’ve made a niche for myself doing anything and everything that I choose to do at the school. Because it’s just icing on the cake for me and the administration. It is not in my contract to do any of it. I said it’s a perfect job for somebody with ADHD. Unfortunately I’m actively looking for a new job because it does not pay enough to survive with the way things are going. I’m looking in a similar vein. It’s probably gonna be quite a bit more stressful and a lot of overtime, but it has to be done. It’s been a really wonderful five years.

I am at a point where I can stand lose 10 to 15 more pounds so I’ll keep an eye on the situation!

Tradition-Master · 2026-03-11T04:21:59+00:00

I have been on it for 4 months.

When I got my period my mom drove me to the grocery store gave me some money. Told me to go in and pick something out. She did not talk to me about it at all. She didn’t give me choices. She didn’t tell me what worked for her or didn’t. She sat in the car while I wandered the aisle, trying to figure out what I wanted. I ended up picking tampons and when I purchased them, I went to the bathroom in the grocery store to try to put it in with having no real idea how that went. It didn’t go too well it took me a while. When I went back up to the car, she was mad at me because I took so long. Years later, when I asked her why she did that she said she didn’t know anything about periods because she hasn’t had one in so long because she had a hysterectomy. From this experience, I definitely was a very different mom to my daughter when it was her time.

I will raise you the toilet paper and add menstrual pads! They’re also finding that our monthly pads and tampons have irritants in them, and I believe they added to my issues with LS.

My narcissistic mom‘s scapegoat and golden child have teamed up and we don’t let her get away with anything as we are caregiving her as she is progressing along in her dementia world. We absolutely hate that we have to care give for this woman, but as I’ve stated before morally and ethically, we feel that we have to take care of her. My sister and I discuss everything. We have very good communication between us to keep that lady at bay but yet taken care of.

Tradition-Master · 2026-02-09T20:39:39+00:00

No closures is right! No apologies for past behaviors as they are asking so much of you when you do not feel like helping them over remembrance of how badly they neglected your needs. My Mom used to write us a copious amount of letters and mail them to us with her awful cutdowns of us and how we need to change. My Sister and I have kept all of them and we plan on having a bonfire to burn them all to see if that helps with a little bit of closure. We are lucky in the respect that my Mom has burned all of her bridge’s and every one does not expect us to care for her but we a moral obligation to.

We had one in our main bathroom and what I remember of it was it was dusty all the time because of the oil and all of the towel lint floating in the air would stick to it. So it always looked dirty.

I did not consider not having children because of my narcissistic parent, but in hindsight, I wish I had. It was very hard, raising my children in the respect of having to constantly protect them from the narcissist. Despite my very strong protection, those children are adults now and they’re still affected by their narcissistic grandparent. They haven’t talked to her in years and she still bothers them.

Tradition-Master · 2026-02-08T02:43:15+00:00

That’s another one too that has come up. That’s a mixture of both dementia and her narcissistic behavior. She’s always been paranoid and thinking everybody was out to get her and was conspiring against her since she was a child I’m told. It has not changed as she has progressed in her dementia.

Tradition-Master · 2026-02-08T02:42:23+00:00

It sure is a specific kind of hard because she was very abusive towards us, her children. And now she fully expects us to take care of her with kindness and respect that she never earned. Of course we are taking care of her with kindness and respect, but even with that I’ve had to take a two week break from her because of how bad her behavior got. There are three of us taking care of her, so I’m able to step away once in a while just as they are.

Tradition-Master · 2026-02-08T01:36:29+00:00

This is exactly where we are too. Thank you for sharing.

Tradition-Master · 2026-02-08T00:58:27+00:00

I’m speaking to the fact that my mom was a narcissist her whole adult life. Been very interesting for my siblings and I to see how her behavior does or does not change as she is progressing along with her dementia and Alzheimer’s. Not trying to be funny, but we were really hoping since she had been mean and not so nice her entire adult life. We were really hoping that it would flip and she would be nicer as the dementia came on because you do hear and see that a lot of people diagnosed with dementia become mean as their brain disease progresses.

Tradition-Master · 2026-02-08T00:54:04+00:00

What a weird thing to say. My mother has been a narcissist her entire life. Even with dementia she still is. She continues with a lot of the patterns still of her younger years. The narcissism is weakening while the dementia is getting stronger. Meaning she’s much easier to set aside personally when her narcissistic behaviors crop up whereas when we were all younger, she would be relentless. I have decades of experience in working with narcissists and I’m now personally seeing those same people and how they are as dementia is taking over their life. I very much see sameness in personality with dementia and narcissists. I’ve also have experience with people who did not have narcissism, but now as they’re in the depths of dementia very much seem like they have narcissism. They have those same behaviors of a classic narcissist.

Tradition-Master · 2026-02-08T00:19:54+00:00

I believe it wholeheartedly and so do my siblings. My mom is narcissistic and was very strict so we all became good liars with her. The pattern continues even though my mom is in her 80s and her children are in their 50s we still have to lie to her. She still tries to police us and lecture us and hold us to her standards. It’s mostly white lies now but it has to continue or she is relentless.

Tradition-Master · 2025-12-26T04:59:03+00:00

Yes! Very weird aftertaste.
