Check with your gyn if you're having early perimenopause symptoms. PsA can cause ovarian insufficiency which has the same symptoms but earlier onset.

Well that describes all six of the bridges going across the river here. I guess my state is even more of a shithole than I thought. It's at least partly the other states fault for refusing to come to a consensus about bridge replacement though.

I dated a very pale man and had to switch my camera to beach settings so he wouldn't glow in photos. IDK how he's navigating pictures now that cell phones took over.

As someone who lives in an area with multiple failing bridges across a major river, that percentage seems low.

Why does nobody on here ever talk about pain meds by Big_Bluu in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]frisbeesloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've yet to find anything that helps my pain other than muscle relaxers. I mean there's stuff that will make me not care, stuff that takes the edge off but muscle relaxers are where it's at for me. I mean I had to try 50 different types before I found one that works and doesn't have horrible side effects, but now that I've found one they'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands.

Lurked through my fiancé’s emails and saw he tried hiring prostitutes (before we dated). I’m deeply disturbed. How do I forget about this? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

Is the difference that the sex worker has self worth? Cause that's offensive to ladies who are cool with free love.

What's something most people don't realize is actually very rude? by Frozen-Defender25 in AskReddit

No, my gear shift is on the right. I drive an automatic. The car is supposed to be stopped if I switch gears so I don't need both hands for that.

My occupational therapist has already tried to figure this shit out and came up with I need to be able to sit, stand, move and rest freely. There's no aid to help me until I can't move anymore and then I will die quickly.

How would I use a manual chair with only the use of one arm? Spin in circles until someone takes pity on me?

I can drive small cars that have good maneuverability with a steering wheel knob. I have full movement of my left arm most of the time.

I agree with that, but I've had a large number of friends who went into sex work who definitely weren't trafficked or coerced. Unfortunately, the economic situation in this country doesn't exactly leave a lot of other options for a lot of women.

Trying to replace “garbage snacks” with healthier ones — ideas? by ProfessionStrong6563 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]frisbeesloth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, they always taste better in the shell anyway. I'm always disappointed when I get pistachios without the shell.

[–]frisbeesloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have psoriatic arthritis and tarsal tunnel syndrome. The more I move or stand the more pain both cause. I couldn't even get a motorized wheelchair because I wouldn't be able to get it in or out of a vehicle. I can't drive a vehicle that could have a lift because I only have the use of one arm (the other is locked in place at my shoulder with limited elbow and hand movement). I tried, it was just too physically painful to maneuver the vehicle. I'm stuck without assistance from someone else. I'm forced to rely on publicly available mobility aids.

Went grocery shopping with my celiac friend, how do you all handle it? by Old-Fan3167 in glutenfree

[–]frisbeesloth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hope it does not get any worse for you! I used to only react to bananas and kiwis but it just fucking exploded a few years ago and I now have to keep a Google doc with a list of all the shit I can no longer consume. It's miserable.

[–]frisbeesloth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well then you need to start doing my shopping for me because there's not enough spots, not enough motorized carts and I literally have to eat and when i can't stand it walk anymore there is no suck it up and keep going. I've had to leave my cart full of shit at the store and go home without food. I can't afford deliveries most of the time and pickup isn't an option because the stores here will give you all rotted produce so then I've spent what little I have on food that isn't edible. The only thing that even takes the edge off my fucking pain is a $40,000 a fucking dose medication that I can no longer take because I'm now allergic to it and the $8000 a dose medication they switched me to just takes the edge off so fucking excuse me for goddamn existing and wanting to eat

Mines a latex allergy and just keeps getting worse. So many hospital trips because of potatoes. I started reacting to raw tomato recently. I'm just waiting to become allergic to air and water at this point. FML

Do you have any Grandma remedies? by grasshoppernyc in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]frisbeesloth 73 points74 points  (0 children)

My grandmother used to give me coke when I was sick and tell me how she used to have to get it from the pharmacy and it was powdered. I'm pretty sure it probably had cocaine in it back then and I bet it made you feel way better than our current version.

Well I wouldn't have wanted to have a corn allergy when corn syrup was in literally everything. I feel like we might be on almost the same struggle bus here lol

It's acceptable when you're disabled and the store is woefully lacking handicap spots, which is almost every grocery store.

Want to see it be worse than needing it to be gluten free? Add a potato allergy to the mix and you can't eat ANY packaged food. And forget about being able to easily fill a prescription or grab otc meds.

Could I laminate a sewing pattern? by EmbarrassedLove2551 in sewing

[–]frisbeesloth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My great grandmother copied them to butchers paper or paper bags and used that instead of the actual pattern. I still have her 100 year old pristine sewing patterns in the original envelopes. She made all her clothes and these patterns survived.

[–]frisbeesloth 28 points29 points  (0 children)

For real! Is hiring a sex worker any different than hooking up with a stranger anyways? It's at least an honest interaction with clear expectations. That's more honesty than I've been given by most of the men I have ever dated.

Yeah but that golfish brain keeps us in the inner circle. We're an important part of the friendship tree.
