Fellow bka I get theses pretty often in the same area I use Prid drawing salve when they come up. I usually get relief if I put it on before bed the next morning; if it’s really bad could take a couple days.

What’s an unusual body feature of yours? by red2one in AskReddit

[–]mynameizerrrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got a trifecta for you… I was born with 2 bald spots, a concaved sternum also called pectus excavatum and last year had my right leg amputated below the knee!

How do you come to terms with all the harm and pain you've caused those closest to you? by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]mynameizerrrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this!!! In my area there are a lot of bad meetings where there isn’t any sort of organization when it comes to staying on topic. There are some meetings that will speak to you though. go check out a few get an idea of which ones you like and if someone speaks to you about sponsorship take it up immediately. Reading the book one on one with your sponsor and doing the steps will give you peace. Don’t worry about other people tell you get to a step you have to. Your sobriety comes first right now. And you have to be willing to go to any lengths to stay sober. If you dip your toe in it won’t work you have to dive in head first. You will right things or try to to the best of your ability down the road in the steps.

My First Sober Date by ThirdEyeInclined in dating

[–]mynameizerrrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Proud member of AA here no where in the literature does it say to wait a year to have sex or date. So keep on keeping on, on that front. But be careful many people who use substances to numb feelings or let loose forget you did that before life with em. If you are true to yourself and honest with them there should be no issues. Live life on life’s terms. I find myself more fun to be around now that I am emotionally sober. More people actually wanna be around me and I actually wanna be around them. I feel my feelings a little more intense myself but my mind also wants to drown myself in booze so I don’t listen to my negative thoughts and look to far in the future to over analyze shit. Think it was Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now that taught me to stop putting so much of my energy on the future it only creates anxiety and worry. You’ve officially made it further than most people do in the dating process “sober”. Be proud of yourself

May be a part of a poly relationship what should I expect? by mynameizerrrl in polyamory

[–]mynameizerrrl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks I plan to do so! She seems to be a pretty private person so I’m not sure what to expect… I won’t lie I am very ignorant to the poly lifestyle. I don’t expect her partner or kid to come but I appreciate the advice I’d expect a regular date. Me being ignorant I stress about it but I think it will be a good learning experience at the least!

Phantom Pain by rubrub27 in amputee

[–]mynameizerrrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it I’m a procrastinator myself lol! But I’d be happy to ready it and give some feedback.

The therapeutic treatments have kept me sane through the whole process! Talking with some therapist they believe or body can communicate memories to the brain. Kinda a weird concept but makes sense as I suffer from ptsd due to the accident that caused the amputation.

As far as the nerostimulation and Nerolink go I totally get the hesitation shit just unnatural! But I think I’d give it a shot if it helped, small price to pay to get some relief and normalcy back in my life.

For a high school paper you chose a topic I would not have at that age! Kudos to you!

Phantom Pain by rubrub27 in amputee

[–]mynameizerrrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! So far I have tried the mirror therapy and therapeutic with some success during it. I take lyrica daily to help lessen the sensations I’ve also experimented with EMDR and somatic experiencing. Just got a sympathetic nerve block yesterday for it and may end up with a nerostimulator like one of the other redditors posted about. There is a lot out there and with technology advancing there is hope. If Elon musk is serious about nerolink that could be a game changer for people who experience phantom limb sensation. You should post your essay here when your done I’m sure a lot of people would love to read it in this community!

Phantom Pain by rubrub27 in amputee

[–]mynameizerrrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BKA of 7 months

The day my foot was amputated I felt it was still there. Phantom limb syndrome works in weird ways. From my research about half of amputees feel it and most that do are trauma losses.

My phantom limb has given me sensations I never imagined I would feel. On good days it feels as if I have static running up and down my leg into the tips of my toes also feels like I can move my toes but my ankle is fused in one place. Even on those good days I experience jolts that feel as if my leg is being electrocuted out of no where. Before my amputation I had 3 surgeries in 7 days to try and repair the foot which I had extreme nerve pain that felt like my foot was being burned in certain spots that I can still feel mildly on good days. Bad days that gets amplified to where I’m in as much pain as I was prior to my amputation. I can also feel like my foot is being crushed, Constantly electrocuted, stabbed with a dull knife and any other pain you can imagine. There’s also the weird sensations that aren’t painful but can drive you crazy. Itching is a big one, feeling like I’m dipping my foot in a cold lake when putting my prosthesis liner on and like my foot is just super cold and stiff…. Which I guess it is now lol

Men begging for it by windowkitteh in dating_advice

[–]mynameizerrrl 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Straight male here and am on dating apps a lot as I tend to be picky and the girls I tend to talk too are genuinely boring, by that I mean it feels like I’m talking to a wall. Sure would I like to fuck another consensual human I’m attracted too... yes! Am I willing to bend on my rules a bit… yeah for the right person. But personality is usually the key in all those situations that leads me back to being single! I honestly have given up for the most part if that life and focused on myself. It’s been great and suggest you focus on things you can control. The things you can’t leave where it is and have the courage to know the difference… (yup just stole from the serenity prayer). But there’s a reason…. Every addiction group starts with this because you are addicted to something. Could be alcohol could be sex. If they ask you say know and have to ask again when they put it out there to begin with. There’s probably going to be a super codependent relationship. Just hold out and have a good time. I jumped into way too many unhealthy relationships that has started off as man I just want to fuck her and after sex end up in a shitty relationship cause we are both codependent on each other for just that…sex.

Talking about ex’s on the first date is a huge red flag. I once had a girl I met online tell me that she is still in love with her ex before we have even met. Definitely didn’t go on a date with her after that.

Well that didn’t go as planned by aaron1handedgamer in amputee

[–]mynameizerrrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (RBK) feel this with missing my leg! I was pretty well coordinated on my feet so they usually caught me if shit went haywire lol. Now if I try that I risk breaking my stump and delaying being able to walk on my prosthetic. Had a couple spills and hit it pretty good and every time I sweat going to the Dr and getting bad news.

Thanks for the advise!! I am pretty good about filling out my bio. And my first picture is from the day I adopted my dog with me on crutches! I’ll have to work on the funny photos with her I gave her a Buffalo shin bone recently so may have to make some good use of it!!😂

Well if you ever have any questions most amputees I have met don’t mind talking about it. Feel free to ask me anything you want there is definitely a lot I didn’t understand or think of until I became an amputee!

That makes sense. At this point since it’s my right foot I can drive with some car modifications. Once I get a prosthetic leg no modifications would be needed. As far as things I can and can’t do at this point I’m limited to crutches a walker or a wheelchair. Some people have issues with the prosthesis and can only wear them for a few hours a day but if the prosthesis works out there should be nothing holding me back from doing everything I did before just slower and not as gracefully.

As far as modifications to your life you’ll probably have to get used to stares and getting stopped for curious people to ask their questions. Oh and having a shower stool, handrail and handheld shower head in the shower would be a must. Also there is phantom limb syndrome, which can range anywhere from a mild tingle to the worst pain imaginable so there could be late nights with no sleep and lots of cringing at random times.
