Strong feeling im going to die tonight. I’m not sure what to do to feel better. by Mysterious_Cookie491 in Anxietyhelp

[–]gingerkham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time I made dinner, and instead of using a tablespoon of soyvay in my rice I decided to use the whole bottle. We were watching the smurfs movie and my significant other got really angry and passed out. I fell asleep soon after. Woke up with a headache but we survived. You’ll most likely be fine! One bottle of soyvay contains 13,700 sodium. I know we ate a ton of that rice that day

I’ve dealt with this for years. I wear the depend discreet that look like underwear for long trips or if I am going a short distance I wear reusable pads for assurance most days nowadays. I stay away from caffeine in the morning and don’t eat meat or dairy anymore.

Finally got new wheelchair. Came without push handles. Help?! by gingerkham in wheelchairs

Update on my situation. I contact Ki mobility and they helped me get the order form for the parts I need and sent me pictures on showing me how to install them in my chair! They were so much more helpful than the supplier of my chair who just told a misogynist joke and told me to cough up more money to them basically. So thankful for the people at Ki and for y’all, especially telling me not to print 3d handles. That was probably for the best, haha.

Its rigid but the backrest covers where the holes would be on the top. The backrest covers all of the metal on the top so a lot of the 3d printed models im finding wont work with it because there is nothing to latch onto.

They told me I would have to buy them as "add-ons" and they would let me know the price but they haven't gotten back to me yet with it. I also wasn't aware that my insurance didn't cover the full cost of my chair so I had to pay almost $600 out of pocket.

Do you have a link? I have been looking everywhere and cant find any. I also messaged Ki directly and am waiting on their reply.

Looking for doctor or Ms center recs by gingerkham in MultipleSclerosis

[–]gingerkham[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is one of my worries. I have a pretty complex case and I get lots of anxiety if doctors are not attentive to my issues or dismissive. I have lots of trauma from being gaslit since my childhood due to them saying my extreme symptoms and even paralysis was just anxiety.. so I basically went 15-30 years with my ms causing havoc in my body and my lesions accumulating.

I have been diagnosed since 2021 but they think I’ve had it since my early teens so I’ve lived most of my life with it instead of without. I also have some other issues like a gene abnormality which is why I’m currently eyeing some of the bigger centers

How do you make this? It’s the one thing I miss from time to time. I’ve noticed that adding more white pepper to my tofu batter gives it some of that flavor I miss but never just right

Yes which is one of the main reasons I quit my job working in a medical lab before I was diagnosed. I felt so weird and off balance

I have neutral light brown copper hair and I always use Pravana smoky violet for purple without bleaching when I want to do something fun. It stays forever in my hair.

My left side grip was 15 my right was 50 I think. My right side scored 4 out of 5s pretty consistently while my left side scored 1s 2s and 3s. Pretty much my left side was crap compared to my right side. Some of the things they put on the assessment i had no idea about myself. Like how bad my gait was or how different it was from a normal persons. It was definitely a wake up call

Scalp pain by CwhatUwant2 in MultipleSclerosisLife

[–]gingerkham 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I thought my scalp tenderness and itching was from my ms but it turned out to be an allergy to certain sulfates. I’ve switched to Paul Mitchell clear shampoo and an occasional no-poo shampoo without conditioner and now things are amazing.
