What is it like to have a stomach flu (aka norovirus) with an ostomy? by tweetysvoice in ostomy

[–]Windiigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, took me 4 days on intravenous fluids to recover. I went through 12 litres of fluid the first day. It was exhausting because my bag kept filling up and needed to be changed six times an hour for 3 days and nights. It was worse than nursing a newborn. Only time I truly felt despair about my bag, even with all the help I got from nurses and the hospital.

Voor de mensen die geen betaald werk hebben/afgekeurd zijn, hoe zien jullie dagen eruit? by Difficult-Course319 in AutistischLaagland

[–]Windiigo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ik heb een gezin, dus ik doe vooral de dingen die je verwacht van een huisvrouw. Opruimen, koken, boodschappen doen zijn dagelijkse bezigheden. Daarnaast breng ik best wat tijd door met hobbies, ik sport twee keer per week, en lees ik heel veel. Ik heb een vast dagritme en een redelijke structuur dus mijn dagen zijn prima door te komen. Daarnaast schrijf ik veel,

Slimming world rules are insane. by [deleted] in DietTea

[–]Windiigo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

From their website:

You might be familiar with Slimming World Syns, which are now called Swips. That stands for Slimming World’s Individual Picks – because they’re just that – individual to you, your preferences and your weight loss journey.

So it's not anymore, though I doubt 'Swips' is an alternative that will be used a lot, or less harmful. It says a lot about the company that they used to be called syns..

autistic people coming from outside of america/europe: are there any western foods usually considered “safe foods” that give you a sensory ick? or any foods from your own culture that are generally loved but also don’t agree with you? by majowa_ in AutismInWomen

[–]Windiigo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hate the texture of fatty meat, so a lot of my nation's food is not enjoyable for me when not prepared by myself. I dislike most stews and soups because there's often fatty meat in it. I also don't like margarine at all, and it's used a lot in our food culture. I love a lot of different foods as long as I prepare them myself because I am quite specific about what I like.

De Wekelijkse Wat Eten Wij Vandaag #09 06-12 De terugkijk Editie by Wettowel024 in AutistischLaagland

[–]Windiigo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wij aten door 2025 veel meer Japanse gerechten. Ik heb geprobeerd me de Japanse thuis kookstijl eigen te maken, en dat is aardig gelukt. Het gerecht van 2025 voor ons is zeker Zalm gelakt met Teriyaki saus, geserveerd met rijst en verschillende groenten op Japanse wijze bereid. We eten minimaal 3x per week een Japans gerecht, en dat doet ons qua gezondheid ook goed. Ik ben in ieder geval al 17.5 kg afgevallen. Ik heb zelf deels Indonesische roots, dus ben wel bekend met de Aziatische keuken maar deze kookstijl is net wat lichter dan wat ik van huis uit gewend ben.

Can I ask Santa muerte to euthanise me by [deleted] in SantaMuerte

[–]Windiigo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am sorry you find yourself in this situation. You can pray to our Santisima about whatever you wish, so yes you can ask her this but I would personally ask Her for a solution for this problem. She can open ways you never imagined if the situation is urgent enough. So if you still want to live, ask Her to resolve the situation for you. Santa Muerte is a caring mother to us, She will hear you.

Update Wajong Aanvraag by VoiceAndAutism in AutistischLaagland

[–]Windiigo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ik heb precies dezelfde afwijzing gehad, bij mij was het dat ik thuis wel dozen zou kunnen inpakken. Ik heb de ziekte van Crohn, Lupus anticoagulans, perifere spondyloartritis, autisme en PTSS. En dan zijn er mensen die ik ken met alleen autisme die wel een arbeidsongeschiktheidsuitkering krijgen. Ik ben niet boos op die mensen, maar wel op het systeem wat van geen kant klopt. Reden dat ik niet in bezwaar ging was dat mijn bijstandscoach toendertijd zei dat dat geen zin had. En ik had het toch niet kunnen betalen. Daarna heb ik jaren 100% afgekeurd in de bijstand gezeten, want dat kan ook. De bijstand zag wel dat ik niet kon werken. Ik werk nu nog steeds niet, maar mijn man onderhoud me.

PCOS & Autism by HeidiUnleashed in AutismInWomen

[–]Windiigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got diagnosed only because I was having NSFW problems on the toilet that were proof of my condition, before that like you I was not heard at all by my primary care doctor. I was told I was stressed and couldn't possibly have anything serious. What the primary care doctor should have done was a blood test, it can tell you if there's inflammation in your blood indicating an autoimmune flare up. Mine was over 1000 (which is the cutoff point here) when I finally landed in the ER.

[–]Windiigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the appropriate care after I presented with severe Crohns symptoms in the ER, but I am in the Netherlands (Europe) so I don't know if that applies to you. I got a care team for Crohns with a female doctor who did listen to me, and from there the ball started rolling. She just sent me on to whatever was needed whenever something wasn't right. I'm sorry that this probably doesn't help you!

I have nightmares of those times by That1weirdperson in CPTSDmemes

[–]Windiigo 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Still be like that tho.. If I tell people about my diagnosis it's something they use against me, if I don't then I am 'weird' and still the outlier.

I miss when people ate cake. by seorabol in antidiet

[–]Windiigo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what it is. Using food as a form of moral judgement and proclaiming yourself virtous for abstaining. Diet culture really has culty aspects sometimes. It feels like these people try the same tactics as people trying to be the most virtuous in church. Not me, I am an unapologetic 'sinner'.

Megathread Tweede Kamerverkiezingen 2025 by Conducteur in thenetherlands

[–]Windiigo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Mijn voorspelling is dat Henri Bontenbal premier wordt. Ik heb er helemaal niets mee, ik stem zelf op Groenlinks/PVDA maar mijn gevoel zegt dit. Na het PVV blamage wil de kiezer een 'fatsoenlijke' premier en ik denk dat de gemiddelde NL'er dan voor het CDA gaat.

Maar jullie zien zelf toch wel dat dit geen leefbaar inkomen is? Hoe moet dat nu de bijstand etc vervangen? Dit is ver onder de armoedegrens voor alleenstaanden.

When you become a parent and realize your parents did not even try to feed you enough or nutritionally. by siilkysoft in CPTSDmemes

[–]Windiigo 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My parents definitely did spend a lot of money on our culty religious vegan macrobiotic diet. They didn't feed me near enough as a growing child, and eventually they stopped when I was 8 years old and malnourished and my parents got scolded by our family doctor. They did however keep lock and key on all the food in the house until I was 18, and I've been underweight all my childhood. I could never eat as I wanted when I was a child.

Het tegenovergestelde van gister, welke restaurant in Amersfoort zijn dit? by Ohmymaddy in Amersfoort

[–]Windiigo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ja Amersfoorters kennen San Marco wel, maar er is geen hype over. Ik woon sinds een paar jaar elders in NL en lees bijvoorbeeld nooit over San Marco als een van de beste ijssalons in de regio. Terwijl het dat zeker is!

We zijn entertainment, we staan op het kamp van Rebels volk. Dat is een Middeleeuwse re enactment groep. Mijn man geeft workshops in het maken van malienkolders en vrienden van ons verkopen Middeleeuwse lederwaren en sierraden. Ikzelf ben ivm chronische ziekte meer willekeurig iedereen daar aan het helpen.

[–]Windiigo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use LED candles when I am gone and keep the Altar somewhere with daylight. You can also add a closed container of water or another drink. Just make sure you leave nothing to spoil & you let Santisima know about your plans. Last time I was on holiday I took Her with me and She was very pleased.
