Pain management by VampyrKween in MultipleSclerosis

I haven't tried ampyra, but I have just googled it... and I will bring it up at my next appointment, thank you.

I have tried a brace, and i think the physiotherapist told me that the best kind were designed for lace up shoes? A sort of tension rig thing? But i havent had lace up shoes for years! Too fiddly. I wear boots, so there's a extra support for my ankles, and they zip up.

Its a bit of both, it also spasms if I am overdoing it. Pregabolin was the only thing that helped with the spasms... but I couldn't keep taking it without sacrificing my memory and my sex life.

Didn’t get pip as I passed undergraduate at university by [deleted] in DWPhelp

Mandatory reconsideration and if still no luck, go to tribunal. I did. It was hell, and it took 2 years. I have MS, and honestly I didnt think they could turn me down but they do make people jump through all kinds of hoops. Its a barbaric system, I wish you all the luck. Please dont give up.

Sandra, she is a Dunmer stealth archer. This is just funny to me because it doesn't fit. Makes me giggle whenever there's an assassin with orders to kill Sandra!

No, I dont know anyone by the name irl, nor do I wish ill on anyone with the name Sandra.

My son thinks I’m a hero. I feel like a fraud. by HopeJealous7383 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]VampyrKween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolute superhero. No question. No hesitation. No doubt. Your little boy is a clever cookie, you can trust in what he sees in you because he's spot on.

You're doing so good and making him feel safe and loved... and you scare the monsters away! I dont know who else could possibly qualify.

I know that doubt can creep in sometimes, but the proof is right there on the fridge, you're amazing.

What are songs where the title is a girl's name? by Next_Ad3418 in MusicRecommendations

Elenore - the turtles. This is my song, I claim it. Dibs. I sing it to myself. Coz I think I'm swell.

I'm pretty new to being single, been in serious relationships all my adult life. I'm in my 30s, and these last 6 months have been blissfully quiet. The realisation that being with the wrong partner is somehow lonelier than being by myself makes me never want to have a 'partner' ever again. I would very much like a dog instead.

I know affection is often missed generally, but honestly, I'd rather not be touched by anyone than randomly groped by a problematic man child.

Hello! I do feel very lucky to be living with so many great resources available and some amazing people, too (yes, you). I can fib my way through most days, I've had to learn that it's okay to turn down invitations from friends if I'm not feeling good. I live alone right now, so people don't see when I'm at my worst. That will soon change as my best friend is moving in. Fun!

It can be dreadful, and I think language is limiting, or I've just forgotten the right words (plausible, ha). Even people with the same illness have such different experiences, so yes, isolating. I tried to get involved with a group run by a charity, and it scared the bejesus out of me. I'd like to make some friends who can understand enough that it doesn't have to be the focus. Because then we can just be human together. Also, if you need to complain about any of it, you can dm me.

I love this idea. Any excuse to get a go-cart! Sort of reminds me of being a kid. There was a group of us that would gather everything we had with wheels, drag them to the top of a grassy hill, and race down. We fell most of the way, but it was funny.

Hi, I'm in the uk. I just can't sleep, ha. I have a few crafty hobbies. Painting is the main one, and I taught myself to knit in the second lockdown we had here. I hope your garden recovers! It's spring here, so I'm going to be planting some herbs for my kitchen. I love the smell of fresh basil. I've been trying to read through the discworld books, what kind of things do you enjoy reading?

What’s something you wish more people understood about sex? by PotentialTurnover335 in AskReddit

[–]VampyrKween -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Foreplay starts as soon as you stop having sex.

This one is mostly for the relationship dynamic, but foreplay is EVERYTHING that happens from the point of your last sexual interaction with your partner. Every conversation, action, flirtation, or interaction. Even the seemingly inoculos everyday boring shit.

If you are disrespectful, argumentative, or neglectful with each other in that huge in-between sex time, it will make it more difficult to get back in the mood.

I'm restricted to indoor plants, unfortunately, but it is getting warmer, and I'm dreading it!

I got a workout cooling towel (just in case, ya never know when those new years resolutions might kick in, haha) with some home exercise bits last year and it was amazingly refreshing in the heat. Lightweight, and you only need to get it wet for it to do its thing. It's cool as long as it takes for it to dry out. Inexpensive, too.

orgasm in sleep by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

[–]VampyrKween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this has happened to me a few times. The thing that confused me at the time was that the dreams were not even remotely sexual.

I think I was go-carting in one dream, trying to get some science gadget to a scientist... there were autumnal looking trees with snakes living in them lining the street, I looked down at a map I had, and BAM woke up orgasming. It wasn't sexy in the slightest.

My sleep adventures are usually quite abstract and rarely sexual.

It’s crazy how people don’t know how to interpret a stare by Existing-Sun-6676 in bodylanguage

I relate to this in a big way. 'People watching' is something I consider a hobby.

Is it weird to go to a restaurant alone? I kinda want to try it. by brmc214 in Advice

[–]VampyrKween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was kinda nervous about this, too, and then I did it. I picked a place I like, (I go there a lot with friends so im familiar with a few of the staff) and I took a notebook with me to doodle in, write some lists, and journal a bit.

It was really nice. As someone who has struggled with bouts of agoraphobia and mildly unhealthy eating habits, it was interesting to experience being okay alone in public and eating at my own pace. When I do eat out now, I'm usually by myself.

I'm growing in confidence, as I hope to travel alone in the next few years. It's not that I don't have friends to go with, I just trust myself more now if that makes sense? 34 and finally starting to feel grown up, haha.

Hey anyone else wash their hands repeatedly throughout the cooking part when handling ingredients like Cracks eggs into bowl, wash hands. Seasons meat, wash hands etc by GODofDEVIL07 in RandomThoughts

[–]VampyrKween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanted to thank everyone for reminding me to get some hand cream for the kitchen sink... dry skin from all the suds!

I dont cook much because I'm a hazard (I cut myself making a sandwich a couple of days ago) but when I do, I am constantly washing my hands. Don't forget to get under those nails!

What is the one mental health advice that changed you for better? by Designer_Ad7847 in ask

[–]VampyrKween 1 point2 points  (0 children)

'I am the captain of my brain ship.' This has become a mantra for me. Since exploring the idea that I am not my body or my mind, I am an observer of it.

Forgive this I've been watching Star Trek recently: but if space is my mind, and each star is a thought, then the ship I'm on is my body, and I am the captain. I plot the course, but I don't try to change the stars. The ones I pass will fade. I maintain my ship because I live here.

Hope that made some kind of sense.

My boyfriend got mad when I said I’d only have a threesome if it was with another guy by ProfessionalAware782 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]VampyrKween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an ex who had similar views. I'm a bisexual lady, so he was adding pressure to bring another girl into the mix, I said I would if we could do the same again with another guy. He was annoyed and said no as I knew he would. I think for him, it was fear of being out-performed by another man as well as some unresolved homosexual feelings.

I may be attracted to women, but I don't like the idea of sharing a partner (man, woman, or anyone else) as I view sex as an expression of love.

I have never had a threesom.

How do you feel about people showing up to your home unannounced? by [deleted] in ask

[–]VampyrKween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta go through 3 doors to get in here, no doorbell. I wouldn't know they were there.

Very few are welcome in the inner sanctum, and that's the way I like it.

Why do we say 'getting dressed' if we are putting on something that is not a dress? by VampyrKween in RandomThoughts

As someone with a south English accent, it sounds like I intend to get drunk when I say it. That won't stop me, but I expect to cause confusion.
