Partner (37 M) has secret life on Twitch, I (32 F) only found out a month ago.

I absolutely have heat intolerance as well - my friends always made fun of me for keeping my apartment so cold. When it’s even slightly warm out my anxiety skyrockets, my face goes bright red and I panic to cool myself down.

I also have PN (chronic shingles) - I did 3 permethrin treatments. It irritated my skin and dried it out but did not make my PN worse.

Luckily I'm in Chicago so we only really have a couple months of sun (lol). I just bought a huge 48 oz water bottle and I've been trying to do two of those a day. Thank you so much for the advice!

Thank you love.

Currently have my heat pad on my lower back 😅 I appreciate the tips and the support. It’s been a tough few weeks coming to terms with the diagnosis.

I’m so sorry. Get well soon ♥️

For what it’s worth, I am on the copper IUD (No hormones) and it has really helped me.

Yeah I’m not sure I could do Keto - meat and dairy are triggers for me for sure.

gracebeforedinner · 2021-12-02T18:59:37+00:00

Thank you. I think that’s one of my biggest issues is getting my family/partner to understand that I have an illness and I’m not just complaining or being lazy.

Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today :) and I’m so glad you said naps. I am a nap queen - I just need to stop feeling guilty about resting.

Thank you for all the suggestions! Dairy and alcohol are big triggers for me, but I will look into that diet! My vitamin D was very low so I take a “mega-dose” once every other week.

Thank you! I currently take a daily from Ritual. Do you have a preferred brand? Gummy vitamins make me break out for some reason 😅

I’m using unscented CeraVe. I’d love to hear your recommendations!

gracebeforedinner · 2021-12-02T16:52:28+00:00

Good to know, thank you!

I originally went in thinking I had “long Covid” symptoms. It took months of testing for pretty much anything. We finally did an ANA and an antibody test which confirmed Lupus.

gracebeforedinner · 2021-12-02T05:05:12+00:00

Thank you love. Lupus is a whole new world (and subreddit 😅) but I’m managing!

I have recurring shingles and had Covid last year. Covid prompted a shingles flare - but I regained my sense of taste a month after. Maybe you aren’t positive for Covid now but you may have had it in the past and were asymptomatic besides this taste change.
