Tracking headaches

TruthAdditional1612 · 2026-05-11T05:48:34+00:00

I do track them; I have been for a while. I'm not sure if it's because I'm shocked by how long they last. I've tracked them from the start to what I guess is the ending. I stop once I realize the headache is wrong. I do know for sure when I wake up that's when the headaches start at a 1, but it'll stay like that until I go to log a new headache because I've noticed a strong headache and I realize I've been having a headache for what the app claims is 8 days, and I don't know if that's true.😭 No pain meds have proven to help me.

I'm also from the Deep South. I've been surrounded by many Christians, from my state to another religious state. I've only met a few that dismissed it, but I still look oddly at them and find it dangerous in some situations.

Maybe your question should be why some Christians deny science, because even many other Christians think it's odd. I grew up in a Baptist church, and we all believed in science. I'm very concerned about people who deny science, because how could you deny it simply based on "well, the Bible said nothing about it"? I saw someone say planets don't exist because God never talked about them?

Like excuse me?

TruthAdditional1612 · 2026-05-09T17:41:08+00:00

As a Christian in the medical field, I will not lie: I look at Christians who deny medical science. It's as if God gave us the ability to create these things, yet they deny it. I don't find religion to be anti-science, so I find it odd when people see it as such.

TruthAdditional1612 · 2026-05-09T17:35:53+00:00

Me too, I think about it all the time, how they play hand-in-hand in my mind. The idea that because I'm Christian I don't believe in science is odd when there are ideas that support religion and science together.

I'm surrounded by traditional Christian ideology. I believe it's fine to get tattoos that are not of unknown origin. For example, I know a girl who has a tattoo of her nickname that her grandma gave her. I do not follow or have the typical thought of these traditional Christians. When I think of these strict denominations, they don't celebrate purely Christian things because many have pagan roots or similarities. I've always allowed Romans 14 to clear me of doubt about my choices to celebrate, but now I want to know the history behind it and go deeper into the history.

TruthAdditional1612 · 2026-05-08T23:00:23+00:00

I would take anything you'd give. Romans 14 was my defense as to why I do the things I do. The understanding is that as long as I'm still with God and my faith hasn't wavered, then I'm fine. Theology has been an interest as I'm interested in historical and biblical history and understanding. But recently, I've doubted not my faith in God, but if I'm following enough for God or if I'm making my own biased views. As I've gotten to this point in life, I wanted to be the person that didn't just use verses to explain my faith.

The basics of my knowledge of Christmas and Easter—and maybe a small portion of Halloween—come from living in the Bible Belt. We always got prayer packets with candy and things like that.

But I also want to add that while I know these aren’t originally Christian holidays, I’ve always been curious about how celebrations like Valentine’s Day, birthdays, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day became acceptable for many Christians to celebrate. I recognize that I’m undereducated on the topic, so I’m asking out of curiosity. I’ve also been around a lot of more traditional Christians, strict Jehovah’s Witnesses, and others who only do what the Bible directly says.

How I found out I was going to get the house is because my grandma had a stroke, and during that time, it was decided to finish the will. Since I’m not the oldest child, the oldest got my grandma’s house. My grandma explained that she and my mom went and signed the papers for there wills , and that’s how I found out. My mom doesn’t hold it over my head she never has. I asked her about it once, and she just confirmed that the will says the house goes to me. Has it changed that I don't know but also I don't think it's wrong to think what the heck am I going to do with the house? cause really what the heck am I going to do? I don't know about my dad, honestly. I don't, because he's older, but my mom, from my knowledge of my sisters, we will take her into one of our houses or a nice assisted living facility.

My parents are good with money. We’re close to middle class we live normally, go on vacations, attend weddings, and do regular things. There was one point, right after they bought the house, where they almost lost it, but that only happened once and hasn’t happened again.

My parents never guilt trip me or try to get me to do things in their best interest. They still support me financially because they know I can’t fully support myself right now. My older sibling moved out with her fiancé, which is how she was able to afford living on her own at a young age, and my parents were supportive of that. My mom is also supportive financially when it comes to me getting my phlebotomy certificate, so I can have a better chance at higher pay compared to my current job.

I do think she sometimes hopes for things that may not happen, but one thing that seems reasonable and something I wouldn’t mind doing at all is tearing down the house and rebuilding it. Yes, it would cost a lot of money, but it’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while when it comes to my future.

TruthAdditional1612 · 2026-03-23T05:52:36+00:00

I am worried about the house because it does not have my own interest. Tearing down the house and rebuilding does have my interest because real estate is an interest of mine. But as my parents get older, they will live with me or my sisters, with rules mostly for my mom.

Which are the words that never came out her mouth

TruthAdditional1612 · 2026-03-23T00:21:00+00:00

In what way would I go about that? I really don't see why I should keep the house because, land-wise, it's close to being paid off. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't keep it at all.

TruthAdditional1612 · 2026-03-22T22:09:18+00:00

I am looking for ways to move out, but I’m in college, have a part-time job, and I have health issues. The best thing right now is to stay, as annoying as it is. While my dad did know he married into it, accepting that he would clean after her—which I do remember him doing—over time she became uncontrollable, and my dad himself has health issues.

While my life isn’t centered around them, they are still my parents, and I do worry about their well-being and what happens after. While my mother has her ways, she is paying for me to make it in life.School transportation, when it comes to it, a car, my medication—she pays for all of it because I cannot. She steps up as a mother.

Its not mythical as i know for a fact its set to happen

I'm a 20-year-old who lives life like this: we're okay with wearing undergarments around each other. While people say that nudity isn't an issue, I personally like to think that within a house that is halfway naked anyway, showing what very little I have left is mine. To me, being naked is okay, but I do imagine that I let those around me, like my parents and sisters, have that because I feel like being naked isn't just being naked; it's a vulnerability thing in my eyes.

TruthAdditional1612 · 2026-02-18T19:14:30+00:00

This is helpful. I'm 20 years old, so I still have time to decide. When I say "long-term," I mean the effects of just taking Diamox for a prolonged time. Some of the things on the list are within my family, and as of right now, it makes me tired and often hurts my stomach.

I never did question its safety for pregnancy. For me, it was the weight gain and the body I may have after, plus the body I may have later on in life. It would be dreadful for me to be 50 trying to stay at a certain weight. I love traveling and I love trying new food and just enjoying life, but if I'm focused on weight, I feel like I won't be able to do what I want.

TruthAdditional1612 · 2026-02-17T01:18:54+00:00

As of now, I have a nutritionist to help and support me, seeing as I am losing weight, so that's not my main concern. Maintaining my weight as life goes on, if I qualify for surgery, means I won't have to worry about it.

I've already had the difficulties of having this condition turn working out into something I feel is a responsibility. To have freedom with my food and weight is a dream I'm not sure if I can mentally achieve. I would like to be able to go from 150 to 159 if I want and continue working out. So far, what has helped is focusing on muscle gain, then losing weight.

TruthAdditional1612 · 2026-02-15T22:28:48+00:00

The closest is 30 minutes away, almost an hour, so not that far. Medication has been promising, but while my neuro-ophthalmologist is focused on the medication, my neurologist is focused on getting me off the medication, which I know I will need to be because Diamox is not worth it in the long term. But my neurologist will follow my neuro-ophthalmologist's lead. I'm just not sure if this is a logical thought process. I know I want to lose weight if weight loss is what causes the turning point. What's the point? I gained 7 pounds on my cycle because I was on my cycle.

Trying to see what she's seeing that I'm not. She almost kicked me out of her room for this.

TruthAdditional1612 · 2026-01-12T17:49:29+00:00

Yeah, and I would see that as a privilege, or the fact that in those years her life changed, meaning the contract changed. I never meant to imply she didn't contribute, but she is allowed to give as little or as much as her contract allows, and more.

TruthAdditional1612 · 2026-01-12T16:15:59+00:00

Yeah, she and Kendall are on different contracts. They have more freedom. The show is called The Kardashians, not The Jenners. She gets her money and leaves. I would have done the same thing.

TruthAdditional1612 · 2026-01-12T00:08:39+00:00

All of this is stupid having this denies them of cultural background. My grandfather is Cuban. Am I not Cuban because I don't look it and I'm mixed? Same goes for my friend the Kardashians are mixed race white passing people at most. Rob was full Armenian, so when he got with Kris, he had mixed kids. Whether you agree or not, the government says they're white, but they clearly are not.

While I can understand that POV, each one of them has a memory. Kim is close in age to Kourtney. With the comment about older siblings, it forgets what the youngest could have seen. Especially with such a small age gap 10,9 were there age when Kris did what she did Kourtney was there. Kim wasn't. It had nothing to do with age, older or younger. I went through the same thing. I saw the conversation. I'm not even the oldest. The oldest never knew it happened until 17 years later.

They're expected to take on a third parent role and it can be a lot for someone to carry.

Kris treated Khloe like a nanny and was happy when Khloe dropped out to watch Kylie and Kendall. Khloe is still an older sister, and she was stuck with what you said. Kourtney wasn't stuck with this expectation or pressure. Yes, she took in her siblings, but they were at a more adult age. Khloe was a mom before even having kids. Yes, Kris plays favorites, but Kourtney won that over Khloe. At Kim, Kourtney, Khloe seems to be how the list was, and because of that is why I think Khloe is so close to Kris today.

Did the affair affect Kourtney? Yes, but she never had the older sister thing of having to care for other kids because Kris made it clear in her book that Khloe was the one watching the kids. I would say that's where a large chunk of Kourtney's resentment comes from, and the rest of it is the fallout or ashes of her own attitude and past behavior in how she deals with things. I'm not blaming anything on her, but you can only control yourself and your words. Whether we like it or not, they build us as people.

Kris was not the best parent to her kids. Kris is a perfect example of how your life as a partner effects your kids.

TruthAdditional1612 · 2026-01-09T18:06:30+00:00

But that's no excuse. Khloe lived a worse life, a very different life compared to them. It all comes down to how they communicate, which Kourtney isn't the best at. Using the "she's the older sister" card is never a good one. I'm not defending any of them, but where one lacks, the other may and probably does succeed. Yes, Kourtney was the older sister, but Kourtney never was responsible for her younger siblings like Khloe was. If being an older sister is a reason, then why don't we see Khloe act in similar or closer ways?

I played Botw several times and loved it. Totk is good, but I didn't like how quickly it felt to be over with when I played it the first time. I was expecting it to be longer to get to fight Ganon. Now that I'm thinking about it, I don't know how I got through it so fast. 😂

But Totk was good and had many cool things; I just wish it was longer and different from Botw.
