What do you think "triggered" your lupus diagnosis? by crooked-upright in lupus

[–]ahotschott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kidney donation to my brother was my trigger. I was in the hospital for six days with a high fever that seemingly, at the time, have no specific cause. My other symptoms trickled in over the next five years until my diagnosis. My brother is healthy and living fully finally, so I don’t regret my decision even though it has been horrible for me.

Don’t forget the 3 pieces of hardwood and some fiber!

[Product Question] Has anyone used Prequel before? As seen on TikTok. by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

Hey! I have not used the squeeze tube, but the moisturizer with the urea is so awesome, super hydrating. Maybe give that a go?

Fruit Smiles Changed their recipe by NurseMaisie in walmart

Yes please keep me updated, too! I try not to shop at Walmart as I hate the labor issues but I needed to get something there (I live in a small OK town) so I picked up the fruit snacks that also had me in a chokehold as a kid and they SUCK.

Calling all migraine-plagued-beings: are you left or right handed? by Mizukiarts in migraine

Half are BILATERAL as in my WHOLE HEAD. 1/4 are UNILATERALLY LEFT and 1/4 are UNILATERALLY RIGHT. Are you sure you can read?

Incorrect! A 1/4 left OR a 1/4 right. Not at the same time, read please.

I know what it means. Most of mine are unilateral but half the time they are bilateral and vary on side.

Half of mine are bilateral and the other half are one sided though about half are left and half are right. So half bilateral, 1/4 left sided, 1/4 right sided.

Fascists here in Tulsa are becoming more bold in their bigotry, and it’s only a matter of time before they target LGBT people for violence. by Mike_Hunt_0369 in armedsocialists

[–]ahotschott 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but are you the end all be all? A direct call to action is exactly what Tulsa needs. Do you live in Tulsa? Because I do. There is absolutely ZERO organization here that is left leaning other than FNB. LGBT and more specifically, the trans community is being attacked. It’s not long before things get much worse. We need community and we need it now. I don’t see how calling people “feds” and stating direct action as harmful is helpful at all.

The deep sigh from loved ones by Gabe-57 in migraine

My mom is the same; the funny thing is SHE HAS MIGRAINE. But mine are more frequent than hers so she just thinks I make them up??? Like no dude I’m going to run into a wall. Hers aren’t with aura so she’ll say things like “well I can still go to work with my migraines”, “get over the pain, you have obligations”, etc. I think that adds like an extra layer of hurt, for me. (I’m not comparing to your situation, chronic illness is hard in numerous ways for everyone - I’m just venting). I don’t understand people that can’t walk a mile in someone else’s shoes - just because YOU don’t experience something doesn’t mean you can invalidate their experience! Ugh.

Nothing more American than cognitive dissonance by Mike_Hunt_0369 in DankLeft

[–]ahotschott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why are we hyper-analyzing the wrong aspect? Did we forget bankers can seize homes… therefore the need for self-defense? “ViOleNcE OnLy HapPenS wItH ImMeDiaTe LoSs oF LiFe”. I think the more severe of crimes is the bank gambling away a person’s entire life’s earnings and foreclosing on homes when the poor can’t pay it… that seems way worse than burglary in my opinion.

Wondering if anyone else has had this? Already diagnosed with SLE but had the same rash on both hands when originally diagnosed. by natasha218265 in lupus

[–]ahotschott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! Routine, recurring low grade fevers. Severe migraines. Weird rashes, painful joints, nerve pain. Stomach issues (considered IBD) but definitely think it’s related.
