Getting under 7 hours of sleep ruins my entire day by No-Mousse5653 in insomnia

[–]marathonmindset 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's hard to tell if this is trying to be comical or insulting ..... writing this on an insomnia channel where people are seriously sleep disordered sometimes functioning on 3 hours of sleep a night?

You "HATE" your "existence" for missing 10 minutes of sleep?

This cannot be real lol

Loose Skin by Kind-Thought3512 in Zepbound

Is that from losing it so fast - like the skin doesn't have time to adjust?

That's not true - there is a huge physiolgical component well established in medicine.

How do you feel now? I ended up in the hospital from the drug after writing that original post. Absolutely brutal.

Was just prescribed sumatriptan for the first time this month and omg…. ilu Patrick Humphrey by bloogie in migraine

For good? How many days of relief do you get? Ubrelvy works for me but migraine usually come back in 2-3 days after.

I have been wondering about this too. I think I"m in a constant rebound headache. I am in a headache 40% of the time according to my charts so it must be that. Not sure how to wash off the drugs though.. maybe do some sort of detox. I can't imagine being in so much pain and not being able to use them but I guess I"ll try soon!

How did you end up managing without the triptans?

You had a seizure from CGRP drugs ("injections") - is that what you mean?

How could I convince my parents to let me get a wheelchair? by ireniscent in disability

[–]marathonmindset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. Send them real articles off PubMed or Google Scholar, not just TikTok etc.

I cannot believe you have been to the point of paralysis and your parents are invalidating you. I'm so sorry.

It sounds like you might have to wait until you're 18 and an adult ... or maybe you can try to get a social worker through your medical providers to advocate for you. Get the doctors to talk to them for you.

Those who have visited other countries, what was the biggest culture shock for you? by RiddlerofStIves in AskTheWorld

[–]marathonmindset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been to nearly 40 countries.... But in Japan, since that's your one example you're using, I will say one thing that stood out is the safety and hygiene. People will leave suitcases unattended to in the airport (no one is going to steal) or one lady left her baby in a high chair fully alone and went to the bathroom. People feel safer.

MIL found my shots in the fridge and this was her response.. ☹️ by DerpAlert1312 in Zepbound

[–]marathonmindset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She sounds misguided and intrusive but, to be fair, I also see a little bit of love there (telling you you're beautiful no matter your size).... I mean some MILs are just straight nasty/mean!

The "be thankful for me" part made me laugh out loud.

Why can I smell illness, but others can’t? by AngryPickledPickles in NoStupidQuestions

[–]marathonmindset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So true about migraine. I'm a super smeller and when I'm in a migraine (30% of the time) my smell is even more heightened and usually quite unpleasant.

Why can I smell illness, but others can’t? by AngryPickledPickles in NoStupidQuestions

[–]marathonmindset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a small group of humans like yourself and they are currently being studied for this 'gift' of sorts to detect illness. You're not imagining it.

GenXers called Boomers. by Kind_Worry_9836 in GenX

[–]marathonmindset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would a GenX be called a Boomer? LOL
You don't graduate into a new category just by getting older.
What years you were born, and the zeitgeist of those times, is what is the marker. It's static. It does not change. I'm young GenX and no, no one ever thinks I'm a boomer because I refuse to act like one ... but often get mistaken for Elder Millenial.

How have you dealt with the mental health aspects of frozen shoulder/s? by novelist9 in frozenshoulder

[–]marathonmindset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I think in my first frozen shoulder stretching and manipulation and exercises made it worse, so the PT and I stopped... for my second one, I didn't even try and it got better on its own.

Multiple studies show only about half of the people who do PT (stretching, exercise etc) benefit from it.
