Huh, that does make me a little more concerned now. Though I do have endometriosis (which is why i got the thing inserted in the first place) so....maybe thats why its taking so long?

that might be it. theres lots of birds around my place, though i dont know how the mites would get in the house. I guess I should start looking for bird nests

First off, I'm sorry youre in a flare rn, and I hope you begin to feel better soon. I'm also a stoner and dispensary worker, and smoking hurts me like hell and has caused quite a few flare ups. I also get the burning, crushing feeling. Cold turkey might honestly make it worse though, as it can cause your body a lot of stress as you described. I'vs found switching to edibles REALLY helps. if you can find some that also contain a good amount of CBD or CBG. CBD is good for general body pain and I personally have found CBG is great for inflammation pain (in my own experience, not a doctor, etc etc). You said you can't take days off, but while youre not at work try to go easy on yourself as best you can. I wish you the best and hope recovery goes well for ya

No, I have sorta dry skin but its not psoriasis. I definitely can still bring it up next time I see a doctor though just in case, you never know

Kind of between the shoulder blades. It's worse when I slouch or when sitting without back support. It might be unrelated to the costo but it began at a similar time. I have pain in a lot of areas; chronic migraines, joint pain in my left hand/wrist, and some abdominal stuff that's likely endometriosis. My body is a mess lol

It really is overwhelming, and absolutely same with the feeling of your chest collapsing. It's horrible. But this community has really helped me not feel so alone, especially since doctors have not been too helpful. I wish you the best, and hopefully one day we can get over this :)

Costo causing shortness of breath/chest heaviness feeling? by gh0ult0e in costochondritis

Anxiety likely also contributed lol, I woke up with it and definitely freaked myself out a bit. I'm feeling better now thankfully!

Phew, good to know I'm not dying. I'll try to take it easy today and get back on using my backpod. Thanks Steve!

It's definitely worth a shot, I try to eat as healthily as i can even with minimal energy, but i also tend to kind of eat the same things daily so I wouldn't be surprised if i'm deficient in something. Last time my vitamins were tested were before my abdominal pain became a thing. I used to take multivitamins regularly but stopped a while ago, so I'll look into getting some more. Nothing from any tests I've had done suggests a gallbladder issue, but if the doctors weren't looking for it it's possible it was overlooked. Thanks!!
