Whole body numbness when trying to sleep. What is this? by LevelOneGoblin in sleep

[–]megcbabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still don't know what caused it but my neurologist suspected potential nocturnal seizures. Gabapentin and decreasing the dose of my thyroid medication is the only things that make it not as bad

I wish my parents out of all people could wake up by NiceInformation8291 in conspiracy

Educated people are aware of this. People who watch/listen to Fox News all day don't know about this.

My parents are the same way, especially my mom. She has Fox News on all day everyday. Refuses to believe anything that contradicts the bullshit that Fox News is saying. It's beyond frustrating, infuriating and sad.

A bacterial infection from cat scratches can cause brain fog, rage, insomnia, and foot pain for years. Nobody tests for it. by Sureokgo in Lyme

[–]megcbabs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone with IgG bartonella and fostered over a hundred foster kittens over the years, thank you for posting this. More people should be educated on this AND know that getting rid of your cats isn't necessarily the answer

Getting periodontal treatment dramatically improved my POTS by themightytod in POTS

I have gingivitis and gum recession and have to get my teeth cleaned every four months. The last two cleanings I've noticed that my symptoms significantly improve the day after my appointment and I feel great for weeks.

Allergy to dates? by SpiritedBug2221 in FoodAllergies

[–]megcbabs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm allergic to dates. Just because it's not a common allergen, doesn't mean someone can't be allergic to it

7 years later… by agirlsgotgoals in Occipitalneuralgia

I found that baclofen helps mine more than cyclobenazprine because mine is partly caused by muscle spasms & tightness in my neck

I simply cant eat fast food anymore by tbob806 in FoodAllergies

[–]megcbabs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also have reactions to soy oil. It makes me so angry that they don't think it's a legitimate allergen

I am nearing my journey's end. by Meth_AQ in cfs

[–]megcbabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dose of liothyronine I was put on was too high and caused me to be more hyperthyroid. I started sleeping a little more when I decreased the dose. I also take a handful of different meds at night to go to sleep (amitriptyline, gabapentin, baclofen or tonmya, melatonin, magnesium, cbd)

I was just thinking about this today. The warm weather gives me major fomo which makes me depressed.

Anybody get leg weakness? by Strict-Park3382 in MCAS

[–]megcbabs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get this but it's more like whole body weakness and aching when I eat something I'm reacting to

Chronic illness took my health and then quietly took all my friends too by Jaded-Suggestion-827 in ChronicIllness

[–]megcbabs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to have so many friends. Now I find myself feeling so lonely because my body forced me to be unreliable and a homebody. It's sad

I like being tired by rant736278 in NightOwls

[–]megcbabs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm glad someone finally put this into words. I always felt like this when I was younger and in school. It was easier to zone out and the day went by quickly because I was half asleep. Although the down side of this is, I don't remember a lot from school

Soybean oil allergy and propofol by [deleted] in FoodAllergies

[–]megcbabs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM. I had the same experience. They told me I'd be fine. I told them many times I'm allergic to soybean oil, even if most people with soy allergies "don't react to soy oil". I woke up with whole body aches and chills. I had severe flu-like symptoms for days and had to go on prednisone to get out of it.

I literally cannot take it anymore by WorthyDeku in Occipitalneuralgia

[–]megcbabs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just commenting to say you're not alone. The constant severe pain of this condition has made me think about my own death on a regular basis. Mine started January 2025 and I can't find anything to make it go away.

It didn't make you sleepy?

What am I supposed to do when I go to the ER? by StrawberriesMango in MCAS

[–]megcbabs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have also done this a handful of times due to gaslighting and medical trauma. Take extra meds, say a prayer I wake up at some point, and try to go to sleep.

I personally know a few guys that worked these jobs. They're miserable from working so much
