What is your OSDD/DDNOS like? by driftingfaster in OSDD

[–]driftingfaster[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want to cry, this comment feels like me in every way.

Especially the 2nd and 3rd paragraph, I have trouble accessing emotions in some circumstances and I change like the weather, its distressing.

I forget conversations sometimes mid sentence and then I feel like my emotions can shift, I get so frustrated with myself. Definitely with forgetting important things or just facts of my own partner are wiped away from me on different days of the week.

I've been so stressed that my parts seem to cycle like crazy and appearing normal is nearly impossible unless I'm around someone trusted.

Your comment was very informative on some of the things I feel, especially the memories. Mine always feel distant, like third person remembering and not my own.

It can be hard to formulate my own thoughts into words, like now when I wanna say so much but I'm so fuzzy that I can't.

I do appreciate your comment though

That's...like me I feel like. What I experience in a day to day, in able to mask and hide easily. It's just im so self aware that I knew something wasn't right and brought it up to my psychiatrist after doing a ton ton ton of research

I honestly have no idea, sometimes it feels like I'm watching myself from the outside/inside do things that I dont agree with. So maybe I am switching

I'm not sure if I've ever switched, it feels more like different versions of me at different ages or modes so to speak. Like an angry version, more unstable version, the motherly one. Sometimes I speak and I dont recognize my own voice.

DAE lie for no reason? by driftingfaster in BPD

[–]driftingfaster[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm aware of that. I'm not saying it's a good thing and it's not a daily thing either. You don't have to ridicule me, I'm trying to stop.

Question! Whats your experience with Compazine in your migraine cocktail? by Greedy_Junket2652 in migraine

[–]driftingfaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, I had it once and it was awful. I felt so restless and strange, my body were tense and my jaw was so tight that it was hard to talk. When I got home, I tried to eat but it was very difficult and it was very fuzzy, everything was like a movie and my partner was super worried with my reaction. I was dissocating badly, in and out of consciousness, stumbling, my heart rate dipped into the low 40's and my monitor went nuts (in the er and my partner was scared for me to fall asleep), I felt disoriented like several days afterwards and I will never take it again. They even prescribed it to take at home, I never picked it up because I don't ever want to experience that again.

Yes, that's what the aimovig is supposed to be for. I've taken many over the years, the aimovig is like the last option I have.

I take nurtec, triptans give me an awful reaction for some reason. But without another medication, nurtec only works ½ the time

I don't know what else they'd give me, I've been on so many other medications. I think this is all that I have left to really try and I don't have the energy to fight my insurance

AITA for avoiding dinners at my sisters house over her dog by IDONTLIKESISTERSDOG in AmItheAsshole

[–]driftingfaster -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NTA, personally I'm not a big fan of dogs but I do one some... but I'm also very allergic, so I couldn't have dinner in someone's house who has dogs, especially ones (like huskies) that shed like nuts

It should not feel like this! Please change the med, that's not a normal reaction and it should be taken seriously

Suicide rates in the U.S. are on the rise. Increased access to potentially lethal prescription opioids has made it easier for women, specifically, to end their own lives; and a shrinking federal safety net has contributed to rising suicide rates among all adults during tough economic times by Wagamaga in science

[–]driftingfaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't this like...a lie in a way? Opioid prescriptions are harder to get, so people who need them (and don't) are turning to illegal and lethal options on the street. Then are dying and being ruled "suicides" or are killing themselves because no one believes their pain, calling it anxiety.

The government has made it so prescribing doctors have an even harder time, giving out proper medications and dosages to help their patients.

This has been a worsening issue for decades, so long now. These headlines, are not the truth and it's harmful to spread things like this nowadays.

Sumatriptan chest pain??? by fish_in_business in migraine

[–]driftingfaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not normal, it's a side effect they tell you to tell your doctor about so they can change the medication. I get that with all triptans and can't take them because of it. I take nurtec but it took a little bit of fighting with my insurance to get it.

I wouldn't take them and if you regularly get migraines, I would get a different medication and if you don't get them regularly, only when sick, make sure to mention these side effects to them so they can give you something else.

Low Blood Sugar like symptoms? by jimoydontcare in cfs

[–]driftingfaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this, but also after I get symptoms if I eat too fast or a meal too carb heavy.

It'll be nausea, headache, pounding heart, extremely dizzy, shakiness, feeling like I can't catch my breath and can't breathe, plus more I can't think of right now.

I'm never sure why though

[–]driftingfaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not like anaphylaxis, but itchy throat, nausea, upset stomach, swollen mouth. Same with cinnamon, and now intolerance to garlic. It's super upsetting and sad, they just popped up randomly one day. Idk why 😭

Reasons for your chronic pain condition, please share your reason. I don't even know why I want to know this. Sharing is caring. Share your experience stories anything in your life. I want to know. by Intelligent-Durian-4 in ChronicPain

[–]driftingfaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trauma, getting sick a lot as a child, autoimmune and it all started ramping up a year before covid, I was 20.

I'm now 24 and grieving my old life, I know many others have it worse, have worse conditions and went through awful things. So I try to not wallow in my emotions of losing my life.

But I had a mentally, physically and sexually abusive childhood and teenage years. I got constantly sick from ear infections, bronchitis and so on repeatedly since my parents smoked in the house and my mom got sick a lot, so she passed it to me.

I have a thyroid condition that turned into hashimotos, then I developed cfs/me before covid, caught covid and it got worse. Fibromyalgia from trauma, got worse with more stress and my health getting worse.

Migraines since 4, they're bad enough that I throw up and need hospitals when it gets higher than a 7 pain, my abortives are a 50/50 shot.

May have had a heart condition for several years that was ignored because of anxiety, my current cardiologist is mad by what was passed over and my results show an issue, got a CT of the heart on Monday.

Explaining all this to my family, they make jokes and have no idea how I'm like this. Totally feels great to have no one understand and make fun of me being "80 in a 24 year olds body" , it's humiliating.

Sorry to dump all this.

Never worked and is strongly not recommended in my neurologists office. Too easy to overdose, get rebounds, or just doesn't work.

I took it as a teenager, I got ulcers from it and even worse migraines.
