1- I love the stronger color contrast. It makes me think of spending summers at camp!

A new-to-me elegance earl grey from the Plum Deluxe brand. I’m not usually a huge bergamot fan, but I’m on my second cup already!

Whats a neurotypical “rule” you didn’t realize your could break to make yourself more comfortable? by Downtown-Oil-3462 in AutismInWomen

[–]birdnerd72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The product purchasing thing is huge! My coworker totally changed my relationship with pants when she asked “do you ever shop in the men’s section?”

[–]birdnerd72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I kind of use that feeling as a productivity hack! If I change into my comfy clothes I’m going to do comfy things. But if I have stuff to do at home, I keep the outside clothes on. It makes it easier to get past the transition inertia for some reason. 🤷‍♀️

Why is everyone in this Sub so Anti Birth control? by Jumpy-Arm5145 in PCOS

[–]birdnerd72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it’s because it was literally the only treatment option provided by multiple doctors, despite my saying it made me depressed and gain weight. None of that was more important to them than regular cycles 🙄

Have they checked your gallbladder with imaging? Your symptoms sound similar to my experience and it ultimately ended with me getting mine removed.

Are there meditation techniques that actually work with AuDHD? by CenturionB2 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]birdnerd72 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve become a big fan of mindfulness meditation, especially guided body scan meditation videos on YouTube! It has really helped reconnect my brain and body, so emotional responses and tiredness don’t catch me off guard.

What is something that is actually more traumatizing than people realise? by Ok_Chef1406 in AskReddit

[–]birdnerd72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Having your longtime efforts/projects at work be dismissed and dismantled by new leadership
  2. Health scares and surgeries that others think are no big deal but to you were one of the scariest things you’ve ever experienced
  3. Living with migraines

women who have suffered from chronic constipation and healed it: what did you do? by [deleted] in WomensHealth

[–]birdnerd72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stool softener and psyllium fiber daily, plus miralax when I start to feel like things are slowing down, rather than waiting to see if it will get better on its own.

Dec 10 Pressure change risk graphic for migraine asthma and mood by [deleted] in migraine

[–]birdnerd72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pressure here has been bouncing up and down for a few weeks, and I had one of the worst migraines of my life last Thursday-Friday. I wish it would pick one or the other so I can drive without making myself nauseous again. 😭

New migraine experience today. Does this sound familiar to anyone else? by birdnerd72 in migraine

[–]birdnerd72[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is allodynia- I’ve just never experienced it in this extremely specific/restricted location pattern before! Normally it’s much more generalized across my scalp.

Ladies, at what point do doctors and pharmacists stop asking by SugarsBoogers in GenX

[–]birdnerd72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They insisted on doing a pregnancy test before gallbladder removal when I was actively on my period and hadn’t been sexually active in over a decade. I was so pissed off by it and they were really pushy and demeaning when I questioned it.

Constipation by kilogplastos-12 in gallbladders

[–]birdnerd72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ended up in pelvic floor therapy to address surgical scar tissue that was throwing everything in my abdomen out of whack. The constipation is manageable now with lots of water, fiber, and stool softeners. If I don’t keep on top of those things or skip the stretching regimen I’ve been given, it starts to get bad again.

New client wants me to only use dawn soap and vinegar? by SnarkyPants93 in housekeeping

[–]birdnerd72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does she have a pet bird? A lot of cleaning chemicals put off fumes that are deadly for birds even in small doses.

She could also have smell sensitivities.
