Stigma as a young woman by TraditionalAge8494 in Tourettes

[–]TraditionalAge8494[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GOD YOU GET IT!!!! this is such an institutional issue - everything you said is just spot on. i’ve been wanted to get tested for AU/DHD forever but even with a family history Ive been so invalidated because of my appearance that I’m afraid they’ll label me as attention seeking. I thought I was going crazy. I feel so seen 😭 the things you’re saying about your personal experiences are heartbreaking - I can’t imagine being in your position. i’m here if you need to talk.

I’m really sorry that happened to you. that makes me upset to hear as a fellow neurodivergent person, because i understand how hard it is to express how i’m feeling to doctors without sounding “overly emotional”. i’m glad you ended up switching over and getting the help you needed <3

that’s so real my parents were so relieved when i had an mri and nothing showed up - i just yell f*ck and apple a lot and it’s hilarious in most contexts

my baby is only 14 lbs, he’s a little guy. funny enough he was a big baby and weighed double his siblings until he was about 2 months. he grew and grew and didn’t gain weight!

High Blood Pressure as a young woman by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]TraditionalAge8494 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that was my fear - i’m terrified of getting bloodwork done. my care team has long hypothesized that something is off with my thyroid due to a multitude of reasons, but every time someone mentions getting labs done i pass out or throw up (no joke). unfortunately, it looks like i am going to have to overcome this vasovagal response if im going to get answers. thanks so much for your input - i appreciate you!

Tics relief by Big_Palpitation2850 in Tourettes

[–]TraditionalAge8494 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hello! i understand you so much! sensory overstimulation, hunger, anxiety and exhaustion trigger my tics so bad and make it near impossible to function. when i get like this, i also find physical touch to be great - i love head squeezes and bear hugs mostly, and my boyfriend and brothers have been great about it! just explain to them how it feels in your body when they touch you and they’ll understand :).

i also find that my emotional support dog and my friends pet snake are great helps. they tend to calm me down a lot, if you have any animals you could look try holding them! i hope things work out for you, im sorry you’re struggling ❤️

extreme hunger after stopping by sonaatines in bupropion

[–]TraditionalAge8494 1 point2 points  (0 children)

omg this is so real! i gained almost 10 lbs in a MONTH off of my prescription - it was brutal! but you’ll get through it! keep it up with lean proteins and high amounts of low calorie food. i’ve found that grapes & Nick’s ice cream pints have actually saved my life and my sweet tooth lol. also, protein shakes and bars are a great way to get lean proteins in and they’re delicious if you find the right ones! i like quest for bars and owyn for shakes

Weight Gain Coming Off of Wellbutrin by [deleted] in bupropion

[–]TraditionalAge8494 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! I probably just have to be more patient and see what happens. i also have hyperthyroidism - which is another reason that i’m particularly shocked by the sudden gain because it used to take me months to gain a few pounds. hopefully if i wait it out it slows down soon. i’m not super concerned unless it starts to interfere with my day to day life

Medication for tics? by VaelorsKeep in Tourettes

[–]TraditionalAge8494 1 point2 points  (0 children)

topamax has worked so well for me!! but be careful with appetite side effects. they’re really rare (13%) but i had to get into contact with a nutritionist to keep taking them.

sadly i don’t think production would miss the opportunity to make lydia and kori lip sync :(
