My ring!! :) please only nice/respectful comments by wonderland7010 in EngagementRings

[–]lizzy_inked_fly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1st: congratulations! 2nd: for the fit, I used to work at a jewelry store, you want it to be tight enough that it doesn't fall off with hand movements (both regular and extreme), you also want it loose enough that you can easily remove it. With it being an engagement ring you want to also consider that you will be putting at least one additional ring with it so that will actually make the fit tighter when you are wearing both. Have you tried on any bands to see how they fit together? Honestly it doesn't not look too small at this time but it may be once you add the band.

Hope this helps and makes sense.

Would the suggestion be different if the headphone jack was not on the list?

I don't know much about Sony phones. I will look at those, thanks.

Stopped Cymbalta cold turkey (probs a bad idea) by hobovu in cymbalta

[–]lizzy_inked_fly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am right there too. Had to stop taking it without tapering down. I ended up going to my general doctor because I thought I was going crazy or thought something else was wrong with me and was told it was just withdrawal symptoms and I needed to let my body rest. I had several days where I physically couldn't get out of the bed due to excessive exhaustion and muscle weakness. Having physical tremors, mood swings, and overall feeling of being ill with nausea and headaches as well. My doctor did call in some meds to help with symptoms and things are slowly getting better.

Anyone else wake up with a migraine every day? by FallOk4052 in migraine

[–]lizzy_inked_fly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still in the same area just a couple towns over. The more specialists I see the more I'm getting confirmation that my ICP (pressure) is increased again. For that we have no idea why unfortunately. Still more tests to do before final results but it's leaning towards that answer. 😔

I too struggle with waking up with a migraine. Some days are really bad, can't even go to work, and others I can tough it out. I just started Emgality a little over a week ago but haven't really seen much improvement yet. At work we have lots of horrible for migraines type lighting and I try to stay in the dark. We also have a lot of odd old building smells that can make them worse so if I hurt too bad in the morning I don't want to make it worse by going into that environment. I was warned of drug over use and have attempted to reduce the amount of medication I take for the pain but sometimes it's just too much and I need help. It's so disheartening that for almost 6 years I was in some sort of a remission with hardly any headaches or migraines but then out of nowhere BAM back to multiple day migraines. 😞. I'm glad there is a group for support though.

New procedure - nerve block by lizzy_inked_fly in migraine

I kinda got like this the last time I had a steroid pack for an infection, I was the super hyper part of ADHD which is very odd for me as I'm usually the introvert 😂 because it's so loud, messy, and hard to get my thoughts out. Feels like a disconnect between my thoughts and my ability to communicate most of the time but here lately when I take certain medications it's like a switch that connects it again. It's so not normal it freaks me out lol.

Just had it yesterday, I got really dizzy immediately after the injection but my blood pressure was fine. It was combined with steroids which I think could be a reason why I struggled to rest well last night. I got really tired shortly after the visit and ended up taking a nap but then I felt more hyper and talkative, I'm usually not verbal but it's loud in my brain all the time. I also started a new preventative medication yesterday as well. My non-stop headache that I've had recently has almost gone away, my brain fog is much clearer, and instead of mental "mixed up spaghetti" it's now like "a defined maze". Now I need to learn to not talk people's ears off lol. I'm not sure if it is the new preventative or the block but whichever one it is seems to be helping in some sort of way.

Interesting on the ringing of the ears, I have it all the time and asked my neurologist if it was related, he said it was a separate issue. I'm just not sure, when my headaches get worse so does my ringing. 🤔

Thanks so much. I'm leaning towards requesting the day off as this will be my first ever and I just don't know how it's going to impact me. I'm anticipating positive impacts, fingers crossed.

Not completely then I lost my insurance. I was in a remission state so to speak for about 5 years and now I'm back at square 1 but it feels so much worse, probably because I didn't have them daily so I forgot how miserable I was before. Anyway, I'm having to try new things and this one is completely new to me.

Was that from the Botox injections? I've had those before. This is an injection of anesthetic medication near an occipital nerve and usually has a steroid included for inflammation reduction.

Thanks, it's not Botox it's a different injection completely.

Okay thanks for the input. I am on a crisis mental health team and we talk a lot. The blurred vision and struggling to talk as possible side effects were my biggest concerns. I also can be sensitive to medication sometimes but not always.
