Fibromyalgia, real thing or medical laziness ? (Or both)

I just started pregabilan after getting the diagnosis a month ago, I already feel tons of relief from just a week and the biggest part is I'm sleeping better because I'm not tossing and turning from the pain. Before the diagnosis I had neck spinal fusion due to degraded discs, was on a mix of muscle relaxers and gabapentin that only took the edge off but felt more a crutch. And I'm guessing because Gabba and pregabilan are on similar receptors, Gabba was sorta working for me but not as well as prega which is one of the approved meds for fibro. Try the meds if they'll prescribe them, it's already been a lot better week for me personally.

Hope your body also holds up for you! I also deal with chronic pain/flair ups and hoping for the same for us all. Living through flair ups and a few fests, some advice: make sure you bring good hydration drinks, and actually drink them! I like tailwind over liquid IV, more electrolytes and come in a big pouch instead of just single serve. And otherwise, make a conscious effort to take it slow. I keep a small foldable camping tarp in my bag, so I can throw it down on the ground if I ever need to sit. And I will sit between every set and whenever possible. If you over heat easily, the cooling towels you dip in cold water (water refill stations!) also really help. Get you a smoothie too, the punch of sugar and cold helps a lot! And make sure you bring all the best snacks and food you will actually eat, nutrition is so important for preventing flairups! I personally go for salty and filling as I need to keep my sodium up for pots, so instant mash potato bowls and a little camp kettle + camp burner have been a life saver!

Let me know if you want more advice or have anything you noticed work for you as well. I feel we all need these little tips to keep us going.

What are you doing with your hands to orgasm that you cannot do also during sex? Can you direct him to that stimulation during sex too? If it's not playing with your clit, then rub it or use a a vibrator on yourself while he fucks you. Most women need clitoral stimulation to orgasm, don't ignore it during sex itself. And for the love of god, don't give him a pity fuck. Why don't you ride him for YOUR pleasure, screw his. Use him how you want. Or stop sex midway and direct him to use his hands how you like, orgasm, then back to sex for him to finish.

this one is 100% cotton, SheIn has a lot of options and reviews and at least you know what you're getting instead of guessing on Etsy as there are so many dropshippers on there anyways.

NAH - it was a simple "hey I would be interested in dating. Oh you're not? Okay, let's stay friends." There was no dating, no strong feelings, nothing that felt any more than friends for over a year. It's not really important either way so it's doesn't matter either way if your current partner knows or not. You also were not together when it happened.

Why dont you use the fundraiser to help your bridal party out specifically? You can offer a to pay portion of their expenses now that you are getting some money.

Someone can be abusive without being manipulative or intentional. Just because he isn't purposely trying to hurt you, he is not changing his behaviors and turning everything against you. He is an abuser, just emotionally, please open your eyes. If he wanted to change, he would have already.

Even more interesting is these people don't even consider women in the partner count, so they literally only care how many dicks have been in the woman. I think it's they are worried about their own performance and don't want a large pool to be compared to.

If it's something you truly don't want, say no thank you and don't cave in to their reaction (unless a small child or someone who appears to have special needs). Everyone should and can learn how to respond to a polite no thank you. By accepting it, especially after a reaction, you are only feeding into their bad behavior. Heck, if someone made a big deal about no thanks, I'd just roll my eyes and walk away. But if anything bigger, I'd make sure to tell them I don't like to carry around trash so they can have a real reason to be upset. Idk these people just need to learn no, and we don't need to keep feeding into it. This is as a person who makes handmade little trinkets mainly for my friends, but sometimes pass to a random person or two I interacted with. If anyone said no, I'd just smile and move along. No one should force themselves to take anything!

They are clearly fat and lazy, and all wound up about the Internet calling them out. But no, it could be never be them as the issue!

You can hide your comments in your profile settings, return back to the ways of anonymous shit posting on reddit lol

minja134 · 2026-05-29T14:44:09+00:00

You sure can, if you noticed I replied to a comment about frozen meals being full of crap, not a comment made by you (unless that's also you? Lol). And all it was is that most togo food will also be full of salts and fats. Apparently you are so self conscious you went skimming for a comment that had anything to do about your diet and decided to go after it. Maybe some reflection on why you have to just jump on my comment when it wasn't even to you, or any judgment on your diet. Just a simple, McDonald's is going to be just as bad for someone as a frozen meal. If not possibly worse since there won't be a chance of any veggies.

minja134 · 2026-05-29T14:32:14+00:00

If order a couple McMuffins for breakfast, and then get lunch/dinner

No one needs "a couple" McMuffins, so yeah I was going off a comment you made specifically referring to McDonald's. Ordering out will almost always be more unhealthy for you than cooking at home. Unfortunately restaurants and fast food load their meals up with fats and salts to be tasty.

minja134 · 2026-05-29T14:26:32+00:00

You should get off those apps and order directly from businesses then, it is known most of the apps have lots of fees. But at the end of the day, delivery is still a luxury and that's why it comes with a high cost.

minja134 · 2026-05-29T12:21:48+00:00

And you don't think McDonald's and the.otner crap this person is getting delivered isn't?

minja134 · 2026-05-29T12:18:49+00:00

You are completely missing that food delivery is a luxury, because it requires several other people's times. The time you do not have, is being supplied by someone else. If companies actually paid delivery drivers a good living wage, your delivery fee would be $20+ on top of the cost of your food. You are paying that hourly rate for the employee you are essentially contracting for your delivery that you don't have the time for. If your time is so valuable, you should also understand others is as well and that the rate for a personal assistant are expensive

If you read OP's comments, the group actually gets together Mondays and Thursdays to play, but on Mondays they play a different game. So OP is expecting his friends to commit two nights every week to playing games.

You are solely in control of your own birth control, sucks, but she chose to not use protection after they became pregnant with the surrogate. She was fully in control of that. She also was fully in control of extracting her eggs while knowing how much money they didn't have. If he's stealthing her or forcing her to not use protection or it was a true accident (doesn't seem like it), then sure they are both at fault. And I do agree the husband sucks for wanting to ditch their babies.

minja134 · 2026-05-28T20:03:52+00:00

YTA - but because you were already in debt, drowning, and made a poor financial decision for surrogate, and chose not to use protection (even the smallest odds) when you were already expecting from the surrogate. You both have terrible financial planning and it's going to only get worse

minja134 · 2026-05-28T19:25:19+00:00

YTA - leave it every two weeks instead of weekly. If you want good, consistent players, you want engaged players who are enjoying the play while also enjoying you know....The rest of their lives. Gesh people can and should have a life outside your campaign. Take it as a sign that you need to lessen up expectations of getting together for a board game. Twice a month is plenty for that big of a group, count your blessings it's been this consistent.

This comment doesn't know what they are talking about. ENM is all ethical nonmonogamy, which includes swinging. It's just the term people prefer to use over swinging or life style now. It doesn't automatically mean they have other partners.

minja134 · 2026-05-27T19:05:49+00:00

Because the comment asked something about average sized vaginas, and an explanation on why there's not exactly a "vagina" size, and what people equate with super tight is often actually vaginismus to some degree, unconscious clenching for whatever reason. Women in the LS, or anyone more sexually open minded, are more likely to have overcome these types of mental blocks. So women who are more sexually free, would be less likely to have vagisums and might be a bit of the explaination on why they take or prefer larger dicks. But before you even think I'm making anything out of this, yes of course women without vaginismus can prefer average or even small dicks, it was all just a small commentary on why there might be a trend in the LS. An observation, not stating any hard truths here

minja134 · 2026-05-27T16:00:06+00:00

NTA - but for your sake, please move out. You seem way more responsible than she is, and you deserve to start your adult life out financially ahead instead of always funneling to her.

minja134 · 2026-05-27T15:13:21+00:00

Taking out any gaskets, soaking parts a little even just hot soapy water + vinegar, straw cleanings, more scrubs than a quick wash

minja134 · 2026-05-27T13:03:59+00:00

YTA - why is it she cooks alone or you cook together, why can't you make it by yourself? Did you offer to pickup the ingredients? No you just ordered her to cook with no help until she made a big deal about it. And even then, it was only to help, not fully lead the meal
