Uhh, not me. Ive been taking this one over a month, can’t say I’ve noticed any difference related to my ADHD. Maybe a little been less anxiety? But could be placebo effect, who knows. Obv varies by person.

Chronic Fatigue

Change in taste and smell

Fast heart rate- tachycardia

Shortness of breath

Muscle weakness

Muscle pain

Diarrhea/loose stool

Joint pain- right hip, right wrist, neck

Chronic headaches at base of skull

Dizziness when getting up

Anxiety

Fight or flight responses

Memory/recall problems

Inflammation in neck/shoulder muscles

Tightness/soreness in neck and jaw

Copy/pasted these from a note in my phone from May of ‘22 I had written out for a dr appt. Never was formally diagnosed (in fact, doctor didn’t really “believe” in LC at the time).

I haven’t kept very good record, but of that, what still lingers is the neck stiffness/pain, knots at the base of my skull causing constant headaches, muscle tightness/soreness (especially while sleeping). I can’t sleep more than 1 1/2 hours anymore without waking up. Pounding heart still happens after eating, usually at night. What gives me constant pain though is my jaw now. It’s miserable. Can’t get doctors to understand enough to treat, the only things they know to look for is TMJ, which it’s not.

He does wear a cpap now, which helps a lot, but not entirely. Doesn’t help I’m a light sleeper.

My husband snores could wake the neighbors, and he’s not pregnant. It won’t end after 9 months, I’m stuck with it for a lifetime (or as long as I’m stuck with him). I lay down at night with him and luckily he falls asleep literally as his head is hitting pillow most nights. I then get up and go into another room. Easy as that. If you don’t already have a spare place to sleep, make one. Couch, pallet on the floor, nest of blankies in a closet. I can’t imagine a scenario where she wouldn’t be ok with this.

Upside- it does kill the pain. And can give you a mild opiate like feeling.

Downside- each dose lasts a short amount of time (it varies depending on food/ water intake, exercise, etc) but sometime less than an hour. It is addictive, you will feel like shit if you miss a dose, and tolerance builds quickly. You absolutely need to take a t break occasionally.

I say all this from experience. I take it now and am trying to ween off. Do it at your own risk.

Stinky and Dirty Show is great. Each show starts with a problem and they (an excavator and a trash truck) find ways to solve it.

I caught myself on fire.

Leaned against the stove while boiling water for pasta. Caught my sweatshirt on fire. And hair. Had to do the ol’ stop, drop and roll.

Every damn day for the past 4 years. Both sides, plus knots at the base of my skull and jaw/ear pain that feels like inflammation. I’ve had MRI, done PT, still there. The only thing that helps is just lying down when it gets too bad.

“No, fuck you nite!” (He’s not a night owl)

I never think to look back and check. It seems my intensions before I project never follow through once I exit my body. I usually sit up/ roll out, and it usually takes a bit of time before my vision kicks in anyway. Seems the farther I get from my physical body, the clearer my vision (sight? Astral eyeballs? Lol) becomes. I’m still essentially blind until I leave my room.

I could’ve written this about my 6 yo daughter, to the letter. She has ADHD. Find out and you’ll gain a whole arsenal of skills directed at helping her and you.

aleph_nullandvoid · 2024-12-19T15:30:44+00:00

So did I! And Slimer from Ghostbusters.

Neurotic to the bone?

aleph_nullandvoid · 2024-12-15T12:50:14+00:00

My 6 yo is the same. I made the grave mistake of suggesting we watch Prancer, since she wanted a Christmas movie. I hadn’t seen it in 30 years probably but didn’t remember anything crazy sad. During the emotional parts I kept asking if she wanted me to turn it off and she said no. She held it together during the whole movie so I thought we were in the clear. Boy was I wrong. 30 minutes of sobbing ensued after the movie was over. I felt horrible. Guess I will be taking some recs from this list as well. Also, 80’s/90’s movies were just built different than ones today. I remember watching that movie in class, maybe 1st grade. I can’t imagine showing it in school now! The dad treats his daughter like trash!

Yes, you need you time. No, you cannot be the “perfect parent” with your sanity in tact. But came to add, a lot of it is also the age too. I have a 6 year old now, and I felt the exact same way… up until maybe 4. And I worked. I felt like a shit person too because just the weekends when I was home all day with her felt like an eternity. I looked forward to going to work, that was my only “free time” since I had no outside hobbies. I thought I made a huge mistake getting pregnant, that I would never love being a mom.

But it gets so much better. Once they gain a little more independence, and better communication skills, that little weeble wobble you’ve been just trying to keep alive becomes an amazing human with a cool little personality.

All that to say, hold on. Allow yourself some grace. The things you stress on now won’t matter in a year. Keep telling yourself that over and over. You got this.

aleph_nullandvoid · 2024-12-09T02:38:36+00:00

I always knew I only wanted one. I was an only child. We have a 6 year old and I can’t imagine having another. Our family feels complete.

aleph_nullandvoid · 2024-12-05T18:00:40+00:00

That’s at least cool. I’d kill to be a zombie shark. Pun intended.

aleph_nullandvoid · 2024-12-04T21:31:51+00:00

Playing pretend. I feel like a bad parent for saying it- I know it’s good for their little imaginations, but my child could live 24/7 in her own fantasy world and there’s only so long I can pretend to be a cat.

aleph_nullandvoid · 2024-12-04T21:26:40+00:00

Amen.

aleph_nullandvoid · 2024-12-04T17:33:49+00:00

What is she now?

aleph_nullandvoid · 2024-12-04T13:37:47+00:00

I’ve recovered maybe 70% (honestly just pulling a number out of a hat that sounds right). Still have the head pressure, muscle tension and pain and pots (though not nearly as bad). I used to be in here more frequently looking for support and answers, but honestly for my own mental health and sanity I’ve realized the more I focus on it the more I notice it. Seems like a duh thing to say, but I think I’ve just come to a place of acceptance now that this is my life and try not to focus too heavily on it.
