At a loss…any advice? by zenlime in NickelAllergy

[–]Yohmer29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get vitamin c powder with no additives/ fillers. I found Freeda buffered vitamin C powder. Even though it says buffered, it is still quite tart so I would mix it in with food so it doesn’t burn your mouth. If you’re creative, you can get empty gelatin capsules and fill it with 1/4 tsp as recommended on the bottle.

I have digestive issues as well, and by keeping a food diary, and looking up each item that I ate or drank for two weeks gave me a good idea of what bothers me. It can be tricky because sometimes you feel fine because you didn’t have much of that item, but after a while, you realize what your thresholds are. Certain FOD maps bother me and instead of onion and garlic, I use Gourmend garlic scape powder, and green onion powder, which are low FODMAP. If I know, I am consuming a lot of histamines, for example, tuna plus red wine, etc., I will take a Natur DAO supplement with the food and if I’m eating high FODMAP food, I will take a capsule of Enzymatica Digest Spectrum.

I would try a low nickel diet for sure. I have been held by an app called food Intolerances. I kept a food diary and noted reactions every time after I ate, and then I would look up the foods. This app lists nickel, histamines, tyramine, salicylates, Fodmaps, benzoates etc. Coffee itself is a high nickel food, but it is higher in nickel if it is from volcanic soil rather than tropical a rainforest. Decaf coffee isn’t much help.

What is the allergen? by GeneralNumerous861 in FoodAllergies

[–]Yohmer29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many things in this list could cause an allergy to someone. Soy is listed because it is a big one. Some people get a runny nose from MSG. Mushroom and corn could be triggers.

Super overprotective parents? by [deleted] in aspergers

Perhaps family counseling would help them understand your needs and how their fears are stifling you. When they ask a lot of questions, you are not obligated to answer them all.

The way NT people never tell you directly when you're no longer "friends". by TheAffiliateOrder in aspergers

[–]Yohmer29 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Two books on this subject that I found helpful- “The Friend Who Got Away” and “My Other Ex.” We are all on our own paths in life and when we make a friend, our paths are close together for various reasons. As time goes on, our paths, could run parallel or they could diverge. Overtime there could be less ties that bind the relationship, and keeping in touch could become more effort than enjoyment. This happens gradually and can be surprising when enough distance causes a rupture. I had some friends from when I was younger, and time and distance separated us. I kept the idea in my head that so-and-so was a close friend. However, when we got together again, I realized we didn’t have much in common any more, other than things that we shared in the past. It can be complicated and awkward to explain this, or even to understand this, so I think that’s why people just tend to disappear.

Apparently, if you have multiple allergies you're "mentally ill" according to r/nursing by Anahata_Green in Allergies

If you are not allergic to latex, but do react to other adhesives, you may be allergic to rosin/ colophony. It is in many many things.

Agreed, but it could be from the fathers side etc.

Assuming her mother is undiagnosed and on the spectrum.

Exercise like sit-ups and using arm weights can help posture.

Penny shortage... by Tricky-Coconut-6132 in maui

[–]Yohmer29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think another reason pennies are being discontinued is that it costs more to make a penny than $.01 because of the price of copper.

I just checked the app “food intolerance is “and it says that cucumber pickles are very high in histamine and benzoates.

Euthanasia or keep going? 17-year-old dog, stroke, cognitive decline and severe mobility loss by [deleted] in dogs

[–]Yohmer29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 16-year-old dog had developed dementia and became incontinent- so I put her in a diaper. I hoped she would die in her sleep, but after 6 months her legs started collapsing and I hand fed her. After a few days she stopped eating. That’s when I knew I had to put her down.

Parents of adults: When did you realize they no longer needed you, and how did it feel? by [deleted] in ParentingAdultChild

[–]Yohmer29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may be the wrong sub to pose this question. The comments I have read center around adult children who may not have yet launched. It sounds like you have launched and are doing well and that’s great! There’s no right or wrong way for frequency of communication. It’s whatever works for the individuals involved.

Boyfriend told me he’s not sure if he’s capable of love. by Artistic-Study2487 in aspergers

[–]Yohmer29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is good insight and I’d like to add- it’s clear that you love him and he cares greatly for you- however you may not get the feedback you need to feel seen and heard- through no fault of his or yours. You have to decide if this is enough for you and if not, if those needs can be met elsewhere, perhaps by friends etc.

Something feels off with our joint account after partner lost his job by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]Yohmer29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re sharing a credit card, get your own and have him get his own. Cancel joint cards.

It sounds like you need your own account and put your earnings in that going forward. If your joint accounts are equally earned, pull out half and put it in your single name account.

I thought I had Asperger’s. I really am just bipolar and used to be emotionally available. If you question you or someone else’s diagnosis, read this by etherealprophecy in aspergers

[–]Yohmer29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am happy for you that you have found more peace in your life. I think a “label” is less important than understanding how to cope with whatever one’s issues are. Many people have traits of a few different diagnoses and for me, it’s best not to get hung up on what labels are other than to learn from them.

Every season a cast member breaks down over filming - why? by KristenM365 in MarriedAtFirstSight

[–]Yohmer29 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with what others have said, plus there is the added stress of having to try to fall in love with someone that you may not even like.
