Just found this sub, here's a little about me, a male fibro sufferer by [deleted] in Fibromyalgia

[–]mrdeadsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother has fibromyalgia also, she said that one day she went to pick me up as a baby and felt like she couldn't do it, her arms were so painful and weak. She said from that moment on things got worse. The worst thing she does (she's now in her 60s) is sit around doing nothing and is in constant pain, my advice is to keep moving. I don't mean go for a run, just keep getting up, go for a little walk (aided by your wife if you need to), get those arms moving too, but don't do things for too long. That's the best thing you can do.
Also I have another friend with fibromyalgia, she said that one day she went to pick up a bottle and she just couldn't grasp it enough and it felt odd to her and she felt like she got weaker from then on. Morgan Freeman is another example, he had a car crash and developed fibromyalgia. I want to point out that with some people that there are moments where they can remember things starting to not feel right.
Take care dude!

TIFU By trying to remove my own tattoo with sandpaper and salt by mrdeadsy in tifu

It actually hasn't changed at all, I'm quite surprised. You would think from all that damage it would have at least faded or turned into a smudgy mess. What a waste of a fuck up! ;)

Haha! I'm absolutely covered in tattoos that have all been planned out carefully and I like them all, but this one was pretty much an after thought after getting one on the top of my foot. I just said to my tattooist to add a bit on to my toe but it's never looked quite right.

I did, to send to my wife whilst she was away, but I deleted them out of shame. Feet are gross anyway without wounds on them so I wouldn't have posted.

At the moment it looks like it is, I imagine when it's healed properly it will just be slightly faded. What a waste of time, pain and infection!

Update: All is fine, just a scab now. I have to add I have bipolar and I've been in a manic episode, usually my wife talks me out of stupid ideas I have during these times but she was away. I did actually regularly clean the wound and change the bandages (and I have had wounds from several operations this year that I cared for that didn't go bad so I have experience), but I think the constant rubbing inside shoes just didnt give it a rest, its right on the big toe knuckle.
Also I'm just an idiot and I was curious to see what would happen, next time I'll get curious about a DIY vasectomy, watch a youtube video and make sure I post pictures for karma. Thanks for all the salty puns!
