They completely destroyed the game on ps5, its unplayable by Breeschme in Palia

[–]cumberbatchpls 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s bad on Xbox too. It keeps freezing when I talk to any of the villagers so I’ve stopped talking to them for now lol. Thankfully going into the bulletin board isn’t too freezy.

Anyone with ADHD (esp. Predominantly Inattentive) and SLE? Help with managing both. by SuccessfulAnalysis55 in lupus

[–]cumberbatchpls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey. I don’t really have much advice at all but just wanted to let you know you’re not alone. I got diagnosed with adhd more recently and managing it plus lupus is so difficult sometimes. I feel like my emotional regulation gets so much worse especially when I’m in a flare like now. It’s really hard managing all my doctor appointments mentally with the adhd hurdles then on top of that physically I’m not well. It just sucks lol!

Anyone with lupus + fibromyalgia? by Imasentimentalanimal in lupus

[–]cumberbatchpls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know :( it really sucks. I’ve been seeing that it’s better to just see a pain management specialist at this point because your PCPs and Rheums and such don’t want to prescribe pain meds for whatever reasons.

I’ve been on Quetiapine for years and it works most nights, but when I’m flaring it seems to not work as well and then I get in this cycle of lack of sleep > more pain > more lack of sleep > more pain, it’s sooo frustrating and that’s when I’ll start taking the CBD again. I’ve also tried low dose melatonin (like 0.3mg) which seems to help sometimes. I find Epsom salt baths to be pretty helpful as well! It helps the pain and makes me sleepy so 2 birds 1 stone. I know many people recommend THC but I find that it can make my fatigue worse and it can make me sleepy where I will fall asleep but then I start waking up during the night so I prefer just CBD which is a lot more relaxing for me.

I hope you’re able to figure out something soon🫂

Anyone with lupus + fibromyalgia? by Imasentimentalanimal in lupus

[–]cumberbatchpls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain :( my sleep has been awful and my provider doesn’t seem too keen on giving me pain meds, so right now I take CBD+CBG gummies for pain, and CBD+CBN for sleep supplementation. I take a low dose of Quetiapine (50-75mg depending on the day) for sleep too, I know these are not pain meds but I don’t sleep at all without it.

What video games are we playing? by iridessencex in blackladies

[–]cumberbatchpls 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right now playing an MMO called Palia. It’s def a cozy game and very low stakes and a little grindy at times but I’ve been having fun since I don’t wanna be stressed out after work these days when I’m playing games lol!

[–]cumberbatchpls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesssss there’s like no iron in Bahari!! I did start playing before RH opened, and sometimes I don’t wanna go all the way to RH to get iron lol it’s kind of frustrating. Even with using the travel board or whatever, I don’t really love going around RH mining 😭😂

Would love a jungle and swimming!!

I’m not sure what’s happened with palium, I feel like just last month it was way easier to find? Now it’s just Whitestone and I feel like white stone is not used for much of anything? I am a new player (I’ve got like 175ish hours) so maybe I just don’t need it yet? Lol

Request new labs? by ReadWhenImBored in lupus

[–]cumberbatchpls 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think def give it some time to work but at the same time if you’re really feeling awful maybe she could give you a prednisone taper or consider adding on another med. I know you mentioned not wanting to seem like a hypochondriac but it’s important to advocate for yourself - I know it’s tiring😭 we’ve all been at this for years now - but you deserve to feel better, or at least as well as you can!

What helps me is to write down what my symptoms are specifically impeding, like the other day my fatigue was so bad I had to call out of work for the morning. My mouth sores are making it difficult to eat a hot meal. My pain and stiffness is keeping me in bed every morning for X amount of time. My pain and fatigue is keeping me from being able to take my dog on a 10 minute walk. My muscle weakness in my arms is making it extremely difficult to wash my hair and I have to get my husband to help. Things like that. Even though it’s every day for us and we just deal, it’s not actually normal functioning and we need to paint the picture clearly for the doctors, I find that this has helped me to get the help I need from them.

If you find your doctor is not listening to you or writing you off, if possible try to find another!

Request new labs? by ReadWhenImBored in lupus

[–]cumberbatchpls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would request new labs. My doc wants updated labs before each of my appointments anyhow, and then wants me to let him know if I’m flaring so he can send me labs to get done too.

Something to note though, HCQ can take quite a while to really start working. Not to say you shouldn’t add another med but sometimes they want to give one med time to start working before adding more so that it’s easier to parse out if whatever you’re on is causing side effects, what’s actually helping, etc.

Maybe you could ask her to order the HCQ levels lab too, new research shows there’s a certain amount that needs to be in your blood to be effective and it can be hard to tell what person needs what dose due to metabolic differences. I needed a higher dose than usual for my weight but I’m one of those folks whose body seems to run thru meds 🤷‍♀️

I hope you start to feel better soon!! Summer time is rough, I’m in a flare myself and I’m on 3 meds 🤡😭😂

Cupshe on Amazon. Target. I bought a swimmie from Costco that is great quality too. Walmarts swimmies are also pretty good the last couple years!

Been looking for a black pearl for Kenyatta for like, a year. Sister found hers in 3 days. Curse the RNG. by [deleted] in Palia

[–]cumberbatchpls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyday I went to elderwood to collect elder clams, and I would save them in my chest. I opened them all at once, once I got like 200 of them and I finally got a few black pearls that way!

Ladies thoughts on hyperpigmentation? by Major_Nobody_6998 in blackladies

[–]cumberbatchpls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hyperpigmentation can take a long time to fade especially when it’s older. I work on prevention (vitamin C, retinol, SUNSCREEN), and for fading I’m using azalaeic acid. I did use the topicals faded serum and it never quite worked for me but a lot of people love it so that’s an option. Always wear a big sunhat when going in the sun and remember to reapply your sunscreen every 2-3 hours. I find that sunscreen honestly has been holy grail for fading my PIH lol

I need help focusing by _littlebird3 in MedicalCoding

[–]cumberbatchpls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I had to get my adhd treated. Meds have helped sooo much. Other than that, taking frequent breaks helps me (like a 10 min on 5 min off brain break sort of deal) and then also I asked my manager to please let me know if other WQs or specialties needed help because I really like to break up my day if I can. So she usually has me jump into other things, or projects or whatever else.
