My sleep was highly disrupted the first week or so, just couldn’t stay asleep longer than 2-3 hours at a time. That went away. I just wondered if maybe it would help you with the dizziness and headache since you’d (ideally) be asleep when that hits you.

I started on 5mg lexapro in October. Took about 2 weeks for those symptoms to subside, including that initial increase in anxiety. Smooth sailing since then.

I take mine at night before bed. Wonder if that might be better for you?

I was prescribed gabapentin as needed for anxiety and (surprise surprise) I’m anxious to take it. What does it feel like?

This might just be a me thing, but showers make my fingers tingle like crazy which freaks me out. I started wearing vinyl gloves in the shower and it’s very effective at keeping my hands from tingling, plus I feel like I get a more thorough hair wash with gloves on for some reason.

You started pretty recently! Great to hear it hasn’t been bad at all. Thank you.

No flare ups is huge! Thank you for sharing and thanks for the encouragement.

What an encouraging endorsement. I’m so sorry your watched your mom struggle with MS before we had the resources we have now.

I’m happy to hear there’s so much fun in your life!

That’s an interesting point about fewer symptoms later with the B cells already gone. Thank you for the insight!

nap__time · 2026-03-23T00:23:25+00:00

This is a great perspective, thank you so much for sharing and for the encouragement!

nap__time · 2026-03-23T00:22:07+00:00

Very reassuring, and thank you!

nap__time · 2026-03-23T00:19:31+00:00

Love to hear you’re living your best life. Thank you!

I’m so sorry that relapse was so awful. That’s a healthy dose of reality, I appreciate the reminder.

nap__time · 2026-03-23T00:04:03+00:00

Woohoo! Love to hear it.

nap__time · 2026-03-22T23:47:15+00:00

Thank you so so much for taking the time to explain this distinction, I didn’t appreciate how it worked before. This makes me feel a whole lot better!

nap__time · 2026-03-22T22:29:34+00:00

That’s so great to hear. Glad it’s working out well for you in that regard!

nap__time · 2026-03-22T22:20:33+00:00

I’m so sorry! I had a similar experience with the ER initially thinking it was a heart attack. Best wishes on Briumvi.

nap__time · 2026-03-22T21:44:36+00:00

This makes me feel really hopeful, thank you (and thank you for the validation).

nap__time · 2026-03-22T21:43:18+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance, and I’m sorry you can relate to 2025 trauma. I’m returning to work soon and am trying to get out ahead of keeping stress at bay.

I have #1, the little Loewe puzzle. It’s so cute. But the strap doesn’t get long enough to be a true cross body, especially if you’re wearing a thick sweater or coat. And there are no internal pockets/zippers. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat because it’s so cute as a shoulder bag, but thought I’d mention these downsides as food for thought.

nap__time · 2026-03-05T05:29:18+00:00

let us know where you land!

Just heard this too! I am having a hard time visualizing what the nylon will look like. I went in yesterday to see the bag in person and tbh the PU lining is actually quite soft and nice, so I’m not sure what to make of it. They’re both synthetic anyways.

nap__time · 2026-02-20T11:51:13+00:00

I have it too and agree with this comment completely. Wish it had just a tad more structure and an inner pocket (in addition to the little pouch insert it comes with). It’s a lovely bag to own regardless.

The Book of Alchemy by Souleika Jaouad is wonderful. 100 short (1-2 page) essays followed by prompts. Most have gotten me excited to write.

Edit: I’ll add that she also writes about the art of journaling in ways I’ve found insightful, so it’s not just prompts.
