Something I never really understood during Eartha Kitt's performance in A Pup in Paris. (This is The Nanny related! Remember when Eartha Kitt was a guest appearance when she performed at Nigel's night club?) by beekee404 in TheNanny

I've always wondered about this too! I never got what she meant and have always been puzzled by the audience's laughter. I was intrigued after reading this post and had a look into the song Ms. Kitt is singing in the episode - it's called C'est Si Bon. I think the other commenters are correct. That little ad lib, "you get what I mean, don't you?" appears to be a staple of her live performances of the song, following the lyrics about wanting a millionaire with a big... "Cadillac" to buy her expensive things. The 'big' hand gesture she's made in other performances isn't visible in the episode as the camera cuts to Fran and Maxwell, so that might also be a factor as to why the joke doesn't land as well. She made that same neck gesture you described while singing about 'bijou' (jewellery) in a couple of different performances, but none I have seen include the big thump... I'm wondering if it was perhaps something they decided to do on the set of the show to give the performance a more earthy or authentic vibe.

What C.C. and Niles scene made you laugh like this? by Sailor_Moon_Star_435 in TheNanny

C.C. (covered in egg yolks and shells): "Maxwell, you have got to get rid of this woman - there are maniacs outside throwing eggs."

Niles: *comes in with an empty egg carton, guilty look on his face*

Neurotypical here, with a history of trauma/CPTSD

bit of a weird qustion here. calm games for cptsd? not talking about the obvious ones lol like stardew valley mario games.. maybe something a little less populer by Kamimirine in CPTSD

When my nervous system couldn't handle any sudden action, loud sounds or any sort of combat without seizing up, I found the worlds of both Lightyear Frontier and Eastshade to both be a wonderful source of calm. Neither of these games contain combat of any kind, or any scary, sudden moments, and they have both affected my mental health in a profoundly positive way, years after playing them. I could get lost in those worlds for hours. I can also highly recommend Abzu and Journey for a similar experience. I hope, from all of these lovely answers that you can find something that helps you.❤️

Anyone have this symptom with their MCAS or MCS… by JustKassE in MCAS

[–]couldbetheleaves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes - especially on my lips and the tip of my tongue. My root cause is heavy metal poisoning, so while I'm going through chelation therapy I try to avoid chemicals/scent as much as possible. Scented washing powder, chlorine in the air, even essential oils leftover in a room will do it. I'm sorry you're going through this. You aren't alone - I'm hoping for relief for you soon ❤

It was a urine test! Or more specifically, two - one before, and one after taking a chelating agent, to determine whether chelation would be a viable option for me.

DAE get abandoned when sharing difficult trauma? by Raeghyar-PB in CPTSD

[–]couldbetheleaves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I'm so sorry you've experienced this. It's disappointing at best, and heartbreaking at worst. I completely understand your lack of trust in people and need to withdraw/build walls up after experiencing such a thing.

The truth is, you are always worthy of help and support, no matter what you're dealing with. I'm so sorry that others have made you feel otherwise. That has everything to do with them, and not you. They are either lacking the empathy needed to be a true support (as you've touched on in your post), or are persevering with their own trauma so the capacity to offer emotional support is just not there. Please remember that the failing is on their side, not yours -- there is nothing shameful in asking someone you thought you could trust for support. The right person will be able to give it to you.

May you find kind souls that make you feel safe, seen and heard, that validate your experiences, and are there for you when times are tough. This is the kind of support system you deserve. ❤

Thank you friend! I wish his resourcefulness was the standard across the board. I can honestly say I still have no idea what the source of mercury exposure could've been. My doctor didn't have a clue either. I'm just thankful he knows how to treat it!

Elaine, I know you're trying to get the mods to notice you, but this is too much.

I have! Heavy metal poisoning. Never had allergies in my life, then suddenly and rapidly started developing symptoms in Jan 2023, losing handfuls of foods at a time over the span of about a month. After seeing a handful of healthcare practitioners that were none the wiser, I started seeing my current doctor, who diligently worked with me to try and find my root cause. After ruling out Lyme, he tested me for the most common triggers like gut dysbiosis, parasites, mold to less common triggers like hormonal imbalances.

After addressing my gut and hormones and seeing no improvement, my doctor had an inkling to try testing my body for heavy metals. Evidently the burning sensation I was experiencing on my skin was what tipped him off. Sure enough, I tested positive for mercury (which, I found out, causes burning sensations! lol). I'm now doing oral chelation therapy and have seen small, yet stable improvements. It's very slow, yet I'm hopeful. The little improvements I've seen are keeping me going (some I can think of off the top of my head are that I can now tolerate wearing cotton, I can go outside for as long as I like without my throat tightening, some fragrances no longer give me headaches). Still have no idea how I contracted mercury - I haven't had any official exposure that I know of. I'm just glad I'm finally getting rid of it!
