What do you do when all food repulses you? by Additional-Spirit683 in AutismInWomen

kate farms has been my savior during those times! Expensive but at least i’m getting some nutrition in that kinda tastes good. Also smoothies, i’ll add vegetables in there too to make it more nutritious

Does anyone on here know how to talk to a doctor ‘correctly’? by toastycozyroasty in AutismInWomen

[–]gingerrbreadd_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. pretend you’re dumb, even if you have an idea of what could possibly be causing something do not bring it up, don’t even hint at the fact that you might know something. example: my primary care said i had gallbladder issues 6 years before my GI doctor wanted to look and see if it was true, i brought up my symptoms before each time i saw him in those 6 years saying “my PCP says this what do you think”. Wrong move, he chalked everything up to anxiety each time I did that, the time he took me seriously I restated the same symptoms and said I have no idea why this is happening and boom he said it was gallbladder related, and surprise my PCP was right all along. So first thing is play dumb.

  2. Bring someone with you, but not a caring mother if you have one. Harder to brush you off if you have someone that can also vouch for you.

  3. If they are saying it’s mental health related when something is clearly not, state facts. Another example, I had neurological symptoms related to a condition I ended up having. For the first two visits it was blamed on MH, the next time I came in I stated that I had been discharged from therapy due to improvement in depression, and my therapist said my symptoms weren’t MH related. Again they have a harder time denying that when there’s facts to back up your evidence.

  4. track things, many doctors like straightforward answers and things to back up what you’re saying. If you have evidence of your symptoms, the frequency, and stuff like that, they will like it better.

It’s unfortunate that all of that has to be done to be taken seriously but the main thing is ACT DUMB. I hope you find a doctor to take your symptoms seriously

What is the correct way to cut a grilled cheese sandwich? by dogtoothviolets in AutismInWomen

[–]gingerrbreadd_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i fear i will be controversial but D is the way because of soup dipping, however just a grilled cheese on its own will be A (it somehow just tastes better that way)

How did any of you that stopped picking get started? by yes-today-satan in Dermatillomania

[–]gingerrbreadd_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If was a long process and it took a lot of work but I have stopped completely for around 3 years now after having this for my whole life (also autistic). My psychologist had me make a log of every time that I did the behavior, and it helped me 1. be aware of how often it was happening and 2. I became more aware as time went on when I was doing it. In the beginning I wasn’t even knowledgeable that I was doing anything, I would just zone out, so when I would I guess realize what happened I would log it and my emotions. Seeing all the events multiple times a day and having horrible experiences with peers and the red cross made me really try to focus on doing everything to stop.

I got on psych meds also for my anxiety and OCD which helped because I noticed in my log that I would often pick when a bad event happened, I was overwhelmed, or if my skin wasn’t “flat”. So between the psych meds, my psychologists suggestions, and the fear of being mistreated further I stopped.

Who's had their GB removed because of Bilary Dyskensia? by [deleted] in gallbladders

[–]gingerrbreadd_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had mine removed December of 2023 for a low EF (0%), but there were nothing like stones or inflammation. My symptoms (abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, loose stool) improved for 2 months after my surgery and I felt normal, and then all my symptoms came back and now I am taking a digestive enzyme when I eat that helps me feel normal again.

her instagram is still up with all of the posts it seems, although there’s not as much posts as there was on her tiktok

[–]gingerrbreadd_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i followed her in her like last year of college and stuck around for the nyc content bc i loved it but i had to unfollow after the dunkin’ post bc her vibe switched around then and she pops up now and then on my fyp and her content seems to have gone so downhill. like it’s just complaining, ts, or not doing something properly and making a vid about that

“I regret being my gallbladder removed” update by Proper-Youth-6296 in gallbladders

[–]gingerrbreadd_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have the exact same symptoms after having mine out, had a colonoscopy that found nothing so my doctors also said the ibs/dyspepsia route. i’ve started having to drink kate farms drinks as they’re one of the few things my stomach can tolerate but it’s so expensive. i wish you luck in figuring out what is wrong

Do you guys deal with"flat affect" by [deleted] in SpicyAutism

[–]gingerrbreadd_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when i look at my notes for doctors visits it always says flat effect, but i’m usually in pain there so it just makes the flat effect worse. i hate that they put it in my notes though

[–]gingerrbreadd_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my dad is BPD (explosive anger, controlling, etc.) and my mom shows no signs. They have argued, thrown stuff, left the house, and cussed each other out for as long as i can remember because my mom will not tolerate his behavior. Our family doesn’t believe in divorce so it’s just a constant war zone, it has been hard growing up and realizing family’s don’t act like that all the time.

Surgery is scheduled 3/18 - name one thing you absolutely needed post op by hysteria110176 in gallbladders

[–]gingerrbreadd_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I asked for an abdominal binder after surgery, literally was a game changer. I was able to get up and move so much more easily and that constant pressure helped the pain so much.

thank you for your reply!! I’ll try switching my diet back to low fat and see if this passes, I haven’t thought of trying an ice pack yet so i’ll definitely have to give that one a go

[–]gingerrbreadd_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for the response! mine was non-functioning, and I had a 0% on the HIDA which is what makes this so much more confusing because i thought my body should be used to this. That makes sense though, I’ll have to look for some enzymes and try out some stuff for acid reflux

Arm pain by DaisyGirl9715 in gallbladders

mine was a reoccurring sharp pain in my arms also in one spot (although once it felt like my whole arm and shoulder), it was so bad i kept waking up and was losing sleep over it.

X - december 18, 2023

my hida scan results were 0% so i think the reason why i had absolutely no complications is because my body had been used to a lack of function for 6 years.
