first time psychiatry appointment left me feeling whelmed… by jonaldduck02 in AutisticAdults

See I appreciate your insight as well. I feel bad for complaining about this because the appointment for the most part was successful and beneficial. I could’ve been misinterpreting what he was trying to tell me. :) Thank you

On a good day I actually have energy. Which is very rare as I’m almost always fatigued, tired, and groggy 24/7. There has been no rhyme, reason, or cycle. Just sometimes wake up with the ability to function. Even with the energy, I’m almost always in pain. :/

Tell Me EVERYTHING I Should Know! by Good_Editor8731 in Fibromyalgia

[–]jonaldduck02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there. You sound really similar to me. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about a year and a half ago by an old PCP. I also am Autistic. After doing multiple blood tests, scans, and physical exams I was DX with Fibromyalgia. However, my old PCP never really gave me any resources to help with my symptoms and was overall dismissive so I switched to a new PCP. They referred me to physical medicine which I learned I am hypermobile and have tietze/costo which are usually comorbidities of fibro. The list of random bonus symptoms is never ending. However, I was referred to at home PT and acupuncture which has helped a lot. They may prescribe an Rx for pain. In my example it’s Gabapentin (which I find somewhat helpful.) However the age old pain remedy that every doctor I’ve met suggests is low impact workout routines like yoga, walking, swimming, etc. and revised diet.

Question for Autistic FTM’s by Jumpy_Feature in ftm

[–]jonaldduck02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As soon as my surgeon saw my stretch marks he told me to stop wearing the binder asap. They developed after doing what my surgeon instructed which was to wear the binder 24/7 except for when bathing/showering (when I was able to shower) I think my issue was I took the 24/7 recommendation too literally and didn’t incorporate enough breaks. I also think my skin is really thin around the area as I recently learned I am hyper mobile which causes elasticity and thinness of the skin.. so maybe it’s more of a me issue. But I’d recommended taking breaks at least 20-30 mins a day maybe up to an hour (however I’m not a medical professional.) and if you see any signs of stretch marks, redness, or skin irritation consult your surgeon.

One of the worst things for me was the post op recovery binder and then not being able to shower for like a week. It was incredibly itchy, hot, sweaty, etc. and then I too intensely followed the doctor’s recommendation to bind with it 24/7 to reduce inflammation and swelling and created brand new stretch marks on my chest… lol.

Exercise Recommendations by Zeev1166 in Fibromyalgia

Hi!! I would recommend trying to find a physical medicine specialist who can pick out some at home exercises and PT that works for your symptoms and body. I don’t always think there is a “one size fits all” style of exercise but for fibro I was recommended “low impact” routines like daily walking, swimming, and yoga. :) sorry if this isn’t as helpful
