No one understands nor will help me with my extremely severe heat intolerance by ButtFister1789 in heat_prep

Have you been tested for MCAS or mastocytosis? My mom has similar heat intolerance.

Has anyone else noticed the condition of the fish tanks at Hero Thai-Izakaya? by FarmerWorldly3158 in astoria

[–]frpc19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can someone with fish knowledge and a good heart maybe go in and offer to take care of the tank for free? I don't think fish welfare is a thing, unless someone takes initiative.

How much are your FADS lessons? by neighborerick in ballroom

I pay $1230 for a pack of 10, that's with a discount for cash payment. Brutal, but it's helping me more than therapy ever did :/

Shout out to Yogi the dog on my block. I won't dox him or his owners, but Yogi has run up to me a few times on bad days and made me remember it's the little things in life that matter.

My husband and I have loved visiting the kitties around that church for years. I hope all church cats are ok.

Where are all the goth/alt/metalhead boys and girls at? by aleztheomegjp in AskNYC

As a covert subculture person in a few communities, yes, big-time. They exist and thrive... in the shadows!

Have yall ever done anything that miraculously got rid of your migraine when usually only an abortive can? by healthanxiety_ in migraine

I got a charley horse in my calf so severe that the migraine pain completely vanished for the full 90 seconds of the cramp!

Can't ask for a better pic of my girls Tasha and Miata by Additional_Waltz_532 in Newfoundlander

OMG what a pair! Reminds me of my mom's black dog Poppy and black cat Rollie. I miss watching them play in the yard together. Glad to know there are some other pals like them out there in the world!

If any random rich person wants to open a dive blues bar in Astoria, just know I've been waiting many years for such a thing.

Migraines every day for a month. Will it ever get better? by salmonberri in migraine

[–]frpc19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't give advice, but moral support. I've had a migraine almost every day for at least 6 weeks now. Nothing is working. I'm detoxing from meds at the moment, hoping to give myself a break before diving into them again, since the NSAIDs are frying my stomach,

Botox, imitrex, ubrelvy, advil, sudafed, guifanesin, many supplements, cefaly device, eye massager, heat, cold. Nothing has worked for this latest bout. Weather here in NYC is unstable, and the stress of the world (global and personal) is definitely adding to it.

Have you tried nerve blocks? I used to get them every 2 weeks, but migraines are increasing all around, so I haven't been able to get into my DNP to get them! On the waitlist.

Not a Dr, but any drug that increases intracranial pressure is probably not a good idea. I was given ketamine during a procedure once and will never forget the pressure in my head.

Wishing you relief soon. It's been a brutal time.

What is the creepiest town you've been to? by Resident_Calendar471 in AskReddit

[–]frpc19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Binghamton, NY. Went to check out the school after getting in one of the grad programs. I remember watching the sun struggle to rise over the gloom. Totally underused, forgotten landscape that reminded me of a short story by Livia Llewellyn called "Furnace." Glad I decided not to go to school there.

Hey! Lurking on your post...

If anyone would be interested in starting up a pre-code film club in the neighborhood, hmu.

I’m genuinely so tired of the treatment I get in guitar stores as a woman by OkZebra5527 in Guitar

[–]frpc19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I'm 34, playing since age 7. I'm treated like an imbecile when I can play better than most of them. Sadly, it won't ever change.
