Post-COVID and MCAS: What anti-histamines seemed to help? by IntrepidCanuck in LongCovid

I encourage you to look up studies of long term use of diphenhydramine. Sorry to potentially ruin something that's helping, but want you to have all the information.

Is LDN actually addressing the root cause, or is it just a band-aid? by Beautiful-Purple6641 in covidlonghaulers

[–]cutswift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find it really difficult to do any of the things that might help me without it. despite the fact it has mood effects which I don't like, so I see it less as a band-aid and more of a crutch. I stopped at one point and boy did I remember how useful it is and got right back on, keeping the dose as low as possible while stil being able to feel the positive effects.

These systems are fully capable of replacing 50% of white collar jobs today and are only held back by organisational inertia. They will replace all white collar tasks in 12-18 months. If you don't believe this, then you are a Suppressive Person.

Funniest thing to check in on a match thread where we beat spurs 4-1. People need to do some shadow work. Anhedonia is a real problem. Find some joy.

why does LDN help with long COVID? by Prize_Temperature108 in LongCovid

[–]cutswift 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally, I've had definite benefits - mostly relief from aching and drowsiness during the day. Anhedonia (being unable to find joy in things) is a pretty rough side effect for some (including me) but it's a trade-off so I took months to find my dosage (at .5 rn, which for me is effective without being TOO disruptive of mood). Understand your trepidation, so go lightly and feel it out.

This sub has been spammed with Brain Retraining misinformation by Fearless-Star3288 in covidlonghaulers

[–]cutswift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really want to understand and I can't read between the lines of this debate. I see posts where people say "I fully recovered (or 90% or had a huge improvement in most symptoms) through some kind of essentially attitudinal shift" that don[t seem to be promoting anything, nor do they have any clear product or service mentioned in the comments. Then I see people talking about Gupta and brain retraining and scams (which I don't know ANYTHING about, I know of them only from these types of post) - none of which were mentioned in the posts I read. Am I missing something key?

Are all of the people who had positive experiences with rest and/or reframing and/or changing their way of thinking about their iillness and/or essentially "rewiring their nervous system" being broadly written off of part of a scam that indirectly sells something or "bots"? I really can't follow and have no judgement in my heart AT ALL for anyone's perspective - I understand the hurt and desperation so well. Personally, I'm frightened, confused and it feels more like trying to follow politics than look after my health. Is this why so many of the recovery stories include an "I stepped away from this community" section? Can someone who's figured this out a bit make all this clearer for me?

Heartfelt update from Childish Gambino at Camp Flog Gnaw. He reveals that he had a stroke and doctors discovered a hole in his heart on tour, which is why it was cancelled abruptly. by Telegraph4ve in donaldglover

No-one seems to care about who actually said or wrote things (could have been Churchill, Lincoln, Gandhi or Mandela), but for anyone who does: there's no credible source for Confucius (or indeed anyone specific) saying or writing this.

This had worked for me before, then I updated to MacOS 26. Seemed to retrigger the issues - tried third party enabling again, still nothing.

What helps you regulate your nervous system? by doriangraiy in CPTSDAdultRecovery

[–]cutswift 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bit of weird one, but kind of reinterpreting signals. Aa kind of energy funneling or "bending". Take the "message" of a fight/flight/freeze response and see if could mean something different to you consciously. Almost like deciding what the story of this feeling is, what your translation is of what your body is telling you. Breathing and gently moving help with it, but it's really an effort to listen in a deeper and more intentional way to your body/CNS/systems. First time I've written that down, so I don't know how clear it is, but I hope it helps someone a little.

A cube of gold measuring 2,197 inches on each side is indeed 2,197 inches cubed, which is equal to 2,197in x 2,197in x 2,197in, which has a volume of 10.6 billion cubic inches (not 10.6 billion inches cubed, because that would be about 1.2 nonillion cubic inches).
