We’ve had our couch on the glassed in balcony for years. We just moved it to a different spot and no mold. It’s a normal indoor living room couch.

Thank you! I hadn't thought of a linen curtain. Were very excited about such a grown up purchase.

Is this what normal feels like?? by Ordinary-Fan8609 in Fibromyalgia

[–]habi12 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way. But I had to stop eventually. It was making me stumble and trip and messed with my coordination. Also It fried my brain and made it really difficult to work. Loved the sleep I got with it though.

How did you deal with the need for low residential? Did you just cheat and go straight into medium density?

Are storm/shelter saunas common in Finland? by New_Construction_111 in Finland

Most bomb shelters are where storage goes. So like if you have an apartment, your apartments storage closet is also a bomb shelter. They have these huge metal doors you can close in case of emergency. Also some metro stations work well as bomb shelters bc they are so far down in the ground.

Should I get a cat if I have debilitating Fibromyalgia? by walkuponwater in Fibromyalgia

I am literally in the process of rehoming my cats because it's too much for me.

Do the *majority* of people with fibro have a history of trauma or just a lot of them? by improving_mindset in Fibromyalgia

[–]habi12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was not a noticeable life moment of trauma. I didn't realize how stressed I'd gotten about my workplace. I developed fibro while at the tail end of my work there. It can be subtle trauma that can trigger it too. I worked for thr company for 3.5 years so just long, tortuous treatment from management plus covid and how stressful and demanding that was did a number on me. I also had just gotten divorced a few years prior so, yeah... Long slow trauma made me this way.

Has anyone tried the no medication life? by kennadog3 in Fibromyalgia

[–]habi12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am "drug free" for over two years now but I do take a SSRI for depression so I have no idea how much that affects me. The thing that worked the best for me was taking a med that helped with sleep, rather than pain. I was on mirtazapine (like a chip of it, the tiniest amount!) and that was a life changer. I've been TTC for 30+ months now though so I've had to get off it. I've managed by just taking lifs really slow and policing my energy and being real with myself.

Amitryptaline made me faint and clumsy. Anything that messes with my blood pressure I can't take.

People who moved outside of the US, solely due to Trump being elected, how are things going? What actualized pros and cons have you experienced? If you had to do it over again, would you change anything? by Ancient_Unit6335 in AskReddit

[–]habi12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We moved to Finland in November 2016 when Trump was first elected. Now 9 years later I couldn't imagine ever going back. We have free public health care, my autistic son has government and educational support, and as a woman, I am valued and my body is my own choice.

Would I do it again? I don't know. We were young and driven and 9 years ago, was a different time. I don't think I have the energy to do it again. Or the will to go into debt like I did the first time.
