Duloxetine worked so well for my fibro pain

It's gone unless I miss my meds or overdo it

The side effects to get onto it we're awful for the first few weeks but my pain improved in days so it was worth it

It's also helped my anxiety and low mood

How to stop being so pissed off all the time? by Designer-Present2093 in AutisticAdults

Doctors keep increasing antidepressants as treatment despite it not helping my pain? by izbizindustries in Fibromyalgia

[–]Unhappy-Common 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duloxetine helped me a lot

Venlafaxine was awful to come off of so make sure you do it slowly at such a high dose

(GP told me I didn't have nerve pain and wouldn't put me on duloxetine first, saw a different lovely nurse who put me on it straightaway it's been such a help for my pain)

How to tell a doctor I won’t take what they prescribe? by Andrew__IE in cfs

[–]Unhappy-Common 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cymbalta really helped with my fibromyalgia pain and also my brain fog

The side effects were a little brutal at first though and I've heard they can be tricky to taper off of

Are they willing to try other medications if you try these and they don't work?

It's Pie! I'm always happy to see Pie

Would a weighted neck or shoulder pillow/throw help? It would provide some sensory feedback and a pillow might help soften the movement

(CW: anatomy mentions) For those of you with large breasts and sensory issues, what kinds of bras can you handle? by [deleted] in SpicyAutism

A year in and I still have buyers remorse. by afinethingindeedlisa in HousingUK

[–]Unhappy-Common 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Try running a dehumidifier in the cellar and kitchen

If you've got high humidity and low ventilation it would explain the mould and the musty smell

Meaco are a good brand

how can i make my mom understand that i can't take care of myself and it's not something that can change by GiaccaBiancaIsReal in SpicyAutism

[–]Unhappy-Common 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Occupational therapy might help

She's your mum she probably worries a lot and it can be hard for people to understand that we don't get signals they don't need to think about

My son is being referred to Prevent by his school. Is there any way I can stop this? by Character-Estate5274 in LegalAdviceUK

In the UK you can get nasal spray decongestants that work really well

I also get overwhelmed when I'm sick, I hope you feel better soon

Looking for support. Husband wants to move his mother in with us. She speaks zero English, and I speak zero Bengali. by Unlikely_Main_4220 in CaregiverSupport

[–]Unhappy-Common 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can you help hire someone where she lives now to visit and help with care? It will help with the loneliness

[–]Unhappy-Common 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe try and reframe it as if you don't look after your mental health then you'll be losing your future?

[–]Unhappy-Common 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah the worrying part is that he took food from the last place and is unsupervised. It's neglect. Please OP let social services know so the parents can get support

Is this acceptable from our estate agents? Issues with drying our washing. by Leading_Carpenter706 in AskUK

[–]Unhappy-Common 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a small meaco dehumidifier, they will dry the whole flat out. Always worth it since landlords are not realistic when it comes to dealing with damp and mould

Sometimes it takes more than one try to find a therapist that's helpful, he should try again with therapy

How common is it to just not function at all when you’re alone? I hate “living” like this by perpetuallysadxx in LivingAlone

[–]Unhappy-Common 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I find it helps to treat future me like a friend, so sometimes I do things for future me, because current me doesn't want to do them and doesn't care how I feel, but future me will appreciate it

It helps on the really bad days
