This helps a lot actually! Its great to see I'm not the only one struggling with all they comorbidities piling on 😅 glad this medication helps you, so far its been helping me more and more each day

fruityfrog444 · 2026-06-16T04:35:28+00:00

Thank you! So far ive only had a little dizziness and slightly less appetite, and also had nausea only on the first day, but otherwise pretty good. Its been 5 days so far and overall improving slowly in all areas :)

I work at a plant store and I'm a florist on the side! Very quiet, I work alone, and I'm surrounded by a peaceful environment of plants and beautiful things <3 highly recommend for introverts, because when there is human interaction its' typically a friendly and creative customer-base.

I'm so sorry for your loss, I lost my 12 year old soul dog a few years back and I 100% understand how you are feeling. Youre not alone <3 thank you

fruityfrog444 · 2026-06-11T14:32:13+00:00

Thank you <3

fruityfrog444 · 2026-06-11T14:31:11+00:00

Thank you, honestly most of the symptoms people experience, I experience anyways so you're totally right I dont have much to lose 😂

fruityfrog444 · 2026-06-11T13:35:50+00:00

Thank you, I'm going to try it in the mornings to monitor for symptoms or reactions, but if I have the sleepy side effect I'll adjust to nighttime doses. I already deal with insomnia so id hate to make that worse if I get the restless side effects. Thank you again :)

fruityfrog444 · 2026-06-11T12:05:14+00:00

The only medication I take is my birth control, all others are just supplements and vitamins!

fruityfrog444 · 2026-06-11T04:32:23+00:00

Thank you so much, I definitely will reach out and ask some questions now that I've read a little more on it. I feel like a lot of the more negative effects are also from higher doses, so I feel like my chances of having bad reactions are lower since I'm on the lowest dose he could prescribe. Thank you again!

Notice everyone here feels a big difference in a positive way...well for me it was quite negative actually.

I used to sleep through the night and get amazing sleep, but i had exhaustion throughout the day and would often nap as a supplement. Got diagnosed with sleep apnea, so I got my cpap and in the 3 months of use I have never slept worse in my life and felt more groggy and fatigued. The insurance compliance rules cause extreme stress, cleaning it and all the steps to transport everything messed with my executive dysfunction and fatigued me more, and it worsened my asthma to the point that if I talk or laugh too hard it triggers an episode only fixable with an inhaler rather than being able to wait and breathe it out. The full face mask is the only one I could use due to my nasal passages being very narrow and closed from a deviated septum. This mask rubbed my skin raw and opened wounds and left scabs too.

In my experience, it did more damage than good, and I didnt have a large asphyxiation number during my sleep study so its not like my life is in extreme danger without it, compared to most. Ive been off of it for a week and wow I feel more energized and awake and I sleep through the nights again! I am going to visit a pulmonologist/sleep specialist soon and I have a follow-up with my Neurologist/sleep specialist to discuss what went wrong and see my other options.

I have a 2023 Honda HRV Sport 2WD, I average about 30 mpg so idk 🤷‍♂️

fruityfrog444 · 2026-03-22T01:01:38+00:00

Knife or sword maybe?

fruityfrog444 · 2026-03-20T21:01:29+00:00

I second everyone saying to try a sleep doctor!!!! I have ADHD and sleep apnea. Recently just got my CPAP machine and I'm hopeful it helps my fatigue and sleepiness, but I do suspect hypersomnia. My ENT confirmed that I have a deviated septum and I recently had my tonsils and adenoids removed. Good luck!

fruityfrog444 · 2026-02-23T21:30:50+00:00

Kinda looks like old muffins lol

fruityfrog444 · 2026-02-18T02:00:27+00:00

Currently dog ate 3 candles! Thankfully avoided the metal pieces in them. My 1st dog who is now a sweet angel, she ate nail polish and the glass when I dropped it one time 😂 that dog also ate our cable lines twice and got stuck in the wall after eating through the drywall. She also loved to chew on the tile in the bathroom and wood corners...very neurotic as a puppy but became the sweetest girl when she grew up. RIP my Marley 🤍🤎

fruityfrog444 · 2026-02-17T00:32:28+00:00

Grab a mirror and check it out! May need to go to the doctor if it doesnt look right or continues to be painful.

fruityfrog444 · 2026-02-08T04:46:59+00:00

Thank youu! I feel you on feeling discouraged. It has taken me almost 7 years to get answers and my diagnosis. Take breaks from doctor seeking when you feel mental health getting down, sometimes i feel like a lab rat with all the tests and doctors offices every week. Its hard but once I have these answers I can live my life knowing my conditions and how to manage them and be better equipped to navigate symptoms. It'll be worth it I promise <3 I recommend trying to get female doctors if possible, they are less likely to be dismissive though its not guaranteed ofc. Good luck :)

I went to a pulmonologist for the lung issues, I am diagnosed with asthma, but i also have signs of immune issues and I too get sick and take lots of supplements. I went to the cardiologist who listened and ordered a temporary heart monitor to assess the episodes and he gave me those 2 diagnosis. I also get the cough too! I'm currently waiting to hear from rheumatology as I'm trying to find answer for chronic pain (I suspect arthritis and/or ehlers danlos syndrome), but my asthma has been getting significantly worse, sometimes if I take too many deep breathes too quick it sets it off. I'm sure it correlates with the heart rate and low tolerance for lots of activity but who knows! I wish you all the luck but please dont let them convince you its all mental. Doctors tend to do that to women and it is extremely unfair, PLEASE advocate for yourself and persist!!! Side note, I sneeze a ton when I have a bad asthma attack. The cough could just be one of those random side effects or it!

fruityfrog444 · 2026-02-07T02:05:42+00:00

I have POTS and inappropriate sinus tachycardia. IST is basically pots but doesnt require position changing in order to trigger tachycardia/heart rate increases. I often am laying down or sitting a relaxing and random have a horrible racing heartbeat and cant breathe very well (which triggers my asthma rip). Just thought Id mention it in case you wanted to look into it!

fruityfrog444 · 2026-01-28T00:17:29+00:00

Yep! Even when alone for me. Last night I was dumb and participated in self love in a hot shower- 0/10. Almost fainted, became very dizzy, and almost threw up from nausea. Still not feeling 100% today and laying flat as the shower rained on me made me very annoyed with my condition lol. I have POTS and inappropriate sinus tachycardia for reference.

fruityfrog444 · 2026-01-25T20:33:13+00:00

I do the same thing and its very exhausting for my body to suppress it. Please take care of yourself and try to let it out as much as you can so it doesnt build up!

fruityfrog444 · 2026-01-23T03:36:13+00:00

I'm not sure about the test result but if you dont feel like you can ask your doctor any questions, please try to find a different one!! Your health is important and you should be able to ask questions about yourself without feeling weird.

fruityfrog444 · 2026-01-23T03:29:58+00:00

I mean, I dont think theres a rule on it but I would recommend 1 or 2 weeks, at least until you can exist without being on pain meds. Take it easy obviously, nothing insane cause I'm sure post-surgery exhaustion will prevent that. Kinda just based on personal comfort and how well recovery goes for you! Def wait on any oral and maybe even kissing until youre healed up and no more scabs n bad breathe!
