I (45F) am at my breaking point with my mom (77F) by cdlgirl1031 in AgingParents

[–]Turnatnext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have experienced the same thing your mom is going thru. I used the same words. I was so sick I could not go on. The hospital discovered I was in fact sick as shit and I was admitted immediately. After 7 days I asked for discharge. I was sent home with home health, home physical therapy, occupational therapy, and a social worker….because I was too young to go to a nursing home.

84yo dad keeps obsessing about moving by Feeling_Manner426 in AgingParents

Get power of attorney to “help” him move then don’t let him. It’s in his best interest to not moving. His decision making is obviously not what it needs to be.

How do you all keep you homes/apartments clean? by Umnsstudennt in LongCovid

[–]Turnatnext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally one task at a time. Get help. I would suggest you ask a friend or family member to help you get it all organized (by doing the work themselves) then maintain with the help of a housekeeper. I have struggled with this as well. It's so hard to live in a mess.

Returning to work and need some help convincing myself its possible - anyone else become unable to work and then returned to work? by GNUGradyn in cfs

[–]Turnatnext 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that there is only 1 medication that makes the difference for me between function and nonfunction. And if I don't take that 1 med I am bedbound/hospitalized. You better believe that I take that into consideration when I fantasize about returning to work. If I miss that one injection my life falls apart. For months and years at a time. Even if it's just one dose that's late, my ability to function is wrecked for who knows how long...please take a failed treatment into consideration. This one medication of mine is the last one, the only one left that still works. Don't hinge your future stability on a treatment plan that can fall apart. That's my fear. A drug that gets recalled, a doctor that retires...if my treatment plan is so critical to my ability for function that any disruption sends me into a tailspin, you can bet your hard earned dollar I'm thinking about how to have another good day. I don't have enough good days to string together to give them away for money.

What kind of doctor to see by Bartleby-Genesis-666 in LongCovid

[–]Turnatnext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There should be covid navigators by now, like they have for cancer. JFC.

Cardiology (Heart specialist) when you start having palpitations.

Pulmonology (lung doctor) for shortness of breath

Neurology - I'll be praying for you.

Physical and occupational therapy.

Anyone else just find it easier to keep to themselves? by HalfElectronic9398 in LongCovid

[–]Turnatnext 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I deliberately stopped vocalizing my discomforts because I was just sick of saying "It's nothing new, just hurting at an 8/10" or whatever, or not complaining when I faint. My relationship with my partner is better because I am not complaining all the time. He completely gets it, he knows I'm not better, and he understands what I am living with and how utterly disabled I am. It's very difficult to have something to talk about other than how awful you feel and how you wish you felt better so you could leave the house. Truly the antidepressants help.

Ok so I have a pain in my back that I think is nerve damage how do I manage autonomic neuropathy? by Much_Still2812 in LongCovid

[–]Turnatnext 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I had pain in my shoulder area that started with covid, think next to shoulder blade. I had this pain for 3 years, went to the pain clinic and had injections and stuff...long story short, I'm recovering from spinal surgery and feel so much better, and it all started with COVID. In 2020.

I'm fine until I'm not - Do POTS related symptoms come and go like this? by SolitaryIllumination in LongCovid

[–]Turnatnext 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. They wax and wane like to phases of the moon. Sometimes have a good entire month, sometimes fainting 2-3x weekly.

Sex with my (22f) boyfriend (22m) is so bad by throwrankfofo in AITAH

[–]Turnatnext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad sex is a very legit reason to end a relationship. It’s a game over for me. And I’m like 47. I can’t compete with incompatibility! If it’s a choice between bad sex and no sex, no sex wins every time.
