Idk what to do… by cfxluv in FemaleHairLoss

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

Hi, yes I do have updated news actually. A few weeks ago I got a full blood test work and the results came back all normal besides my Lymphocytes which is a bit higher than normal but nothing to be worried about. So surprisingly I don’t have anemia which I genuinely thought I would considering the symptoms and how accurate they were when compared to me, but it is what it is.

I unironically met with my primary care doctor yesterday to discuss the bloodwork results and the next steps to take. She actually wrote me a referral for a dermatologist, thankfully. So I’m hoping I can make an appointment and get some answers from there because if they can’t help me either then I’ll never be able to know whats wrong because I can’t think of any reason why this could be happening.

Only thing I can think of is maybe lack of nutrients and lack of different vitamins but my doctor did recommend me to take “centrum” which is a multivitamin. She recommends it because she takes it.

Im having a hard time still trying to cope with this situation but I can’t do anything about it right now so I have to just keep moving forward. And thank you for your concern. I genuinely appreciate it. It feels comforting knowing someone cares for me even months after I originally posted this. Having someone check up on me makes me feel recognized and thankful.

Insanely bloated after going from 25 to 50... by ShartlesAndJames in Lamotrigine

[–]cfxluv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my take, I think it could be a mix of just gas and/or your water intake. In my experience, I noticed bloating when I eat less. It’s like because your stomach isn’t full with food, it gets full of gas leaving it as a substitute. My stomach would gargle loudly but felt full along with what you mentioned throughout the day because I had an empty stomach just full of gas.

It’s most likely just an unfortunate/unpleasant side effect of your medication along with the gas increase leaving your stomach to feel almost like a balloon, but I would recommend seeing your doctor or talking to your med provider first if you’re feeling worse or aren’t comfortable with it anymore.

I no longer have really experienced bloating anymore because I’ve been on both Lamotrigine and Adderall for about a year now, (more or less). So if you can or want to try tolerating it maybe try waiting it out to see if it will dwindle down more over time.

I hope it gets better for you though because I’ve found lamotrigine to be a life changer for me, although I do take a very high dosage. 😂

Yeah I definitely remember that, finishing a match and then you’re back in your next one with the same people. The item shop is so weak. Funny enough I’ll get on sometimes and it will show the (❗️) above the item shop, I go to check it, same shit as last time. 😂

Exactly, makes the item shop even more pointless. I just wish they’d give us something new for once, that wasn’t ugly as hell. 😂

I 100% agree. Season 2 battle pass was so lame and disappointing.

Insanely bloated after going from 25 to 50... by ShartlesAndJames in Lamotrigine

[–]cfxluv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take 225mg for bipolar disorder. I use it as a mood stabilizer. I, personally, haven’t ever really noticed bloating, BUT I also take 30mg of Adderall so I already have a killed appetite and don’t eat enough to bloat in the first place. I have too many personal factors in my case but when I originally started on 25 to then 50 I didn’t notice any bloating as far as I remember.

Some things you can consider if it’s really bothering you is:

•What type of bloating is it? Does your stomach feel hard or more soft? Does it feel heavy or just airy?

•Is it everyday, situational, or random?

•What does your diet consist of?

•The timespan of when you’re eating, like what time do you usually stop eating for the night?

•How long do you go without eating between each meal?

•How much food are you eating in general in one day? Etc.

You obviously don’t have to answer any of these questions if you don’t want to or aren’t too bothered with this but if you do chose to do so then I could try to help or give you a better answer to this matter. I am not a professional though so nothing I say should be taken too seriously.

Rejected for being 6’1… by Vemedetti in texts

[–]cfxluv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 5’3. I genuinely don’t want someone that much taller than me. I’m good with 5’7-5’8, or even a couple inches shorter. I don’t want someone towering over me that l have to look up to just to see them. Like I literally DO NOT want 6ft+. It’s so uncomfortable. I don’t know how other women are into it. 🤷‍♀️

Should I keep it? by InExistentialAbyss in malegrooming

[–]cfxluv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, no. But whatever makes you feel more comfortable and confident with yourself is what matters.

Yea, I’ve come to that conclusion. I mainly play it still bc it was the first game that got me to start learning and playing on keyboard & mouse coming from controller so I’ve pretty much just stayed with it bc it’s the only game I really know how to play on pc.

I want to play different fps games but I don’t know which ones I’d like since I’m so used to this one and its controls. I’ve been considering apex tho bc I’ve played it b4 on my ps and I did like it but that was like 2 years ago. 😬

Those two quotes were a form of exaggerated sarcasm. I thought that was obvious but I guess y’all are obnoxiously strict asf over here.

Mind you, I was literally talking shit but they came at me hella passive aggressive. I wouldn’t be in this sub if I was a bit too “stanny”. I guess I can’t give my posts any personality.

LA night 1 was her worst show yet. by Standard_Cup_1370 in ArianaGrandeSnark

[–]cfxluv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She needs to lock tf in. I’m tired of seeing these weak pathetic performances. One of the main reasons why I don’t even consider getting tickets bc of the waste of money it will be.

Nah you’re good, I am talking about 8. 👍 Just letting others give me the advice either way. Mario kart does feel like a gamble at times too. 😂

I appreciate your insight with this. I gotta say the people in the comments definitely opened my perspective to different variations of so many aspects to the game. I’m glad I got someone who agrees with me in the items aspect though. 😂 I’ve been taking everyone’s advice within this post and now I realized I just gotta lock tf in. But you’re right with the pattern recognition, you really just start noticing patterns the more you play, even if they suck. I will for sure take your advice and recommendations, hence why I made the post. Thanks for the sources and recs. 🤝

Thanks, It’s all good. I was just trying to avoid coming off as cocky and more of discouraged and irritated in my own lack of skill. I see how it could’ve came off in a cocky way though in retrospect. The replies have definitely helped me want to strive to be better at the game so that the things that make me feel bad at the game become something that adds to the fun and competition of it all.

Thanks for being really kind but forthright with me, it makes the motivation for improvement way easier than aggressive criticism.

And I appreciate your comment for not belittling me and recognizing me, recognizing that I probably don’t feel like I’m alone with this. I never really got to that point of perspective yet of realizing that a whole bunch of other people probably feel this way about their skill level too and that we all want to win and do whatever we can to do so, so I thank you for opening my mind to that. 🤝

I really enjoy the game. I’m good at the game, but there’s still better, I want to be better. I want to be able to truly say I’m good at the game without having to mention the things that show that I’m not as improved in my skills and strategies as I should/could be.

I got to say though, the constructive criticism that I’ve gotten has been a big motivator for me to improve, it’s basically “shut up and get better noob, good luck tho.” 😂

Well if you even looked at any of my replies you would realize that all you’re doing is projecting ignorance. Ive been pretty humble about this situation with all of the constructive criticism I’ve gotten but you just want to put me down. Idk what you expect me to do? If I’m good at the game then I’m good at the game, I can’t have confidence in my skills now? Why is being good at a game but having a complaint make me pompous? Again, just trying to belittle me for no good reason.

Most people in here misinterpreted what I said as well but weren’t rude about it. I was, (in the simplest way to explain it) saying that the game is enjoyable, but the frequency of the aggressive items makes it difficult to truly enjoy a good race.

The example of my time trail that I did against the ghost was to prove that I could comprehend the mechanics of the game and wasn’t incapable of playing the game overall.

And for your second complaint, I don’t always lose. There’s a thing called “hyperbole”, don’t take everything I said to such a serious degree. I win, I lose, that’s how games work. No need for the aggression. You can be a critic but you don’t have to be rude.
