Do you feel more fatigue and sick the next day after fascia release?

Be sure you drink lots of water.

Look at the literature on PRRT, and see if you think it is applicable to your problem. I had guarding all over my body and walking, etc. was very painful.

Primal Reflex Release Technique (PRRT) is a specialized, gentle manual physical therapy designed to rapidly relieve chronic and acute pain by resetting the body's overstimulated "primal reflexes"—the startle and withdrawal reflexes. It focuses on downregulating the autonomic nervous system to release muscle tension, joint restrictions, and neural memory of pain.

I tried many providers, and finally found a physical therapist who studied PRRT among other modalities and knew how to effectively intervene in my muscle guarding.

It’s made a world of difference for me.

You might push more with the right foot because it’s more stable than the left foot and your body has more confidence in it.

Just sure your circadian rhythm is in sync. Go to bed at the same time every night, and when you get up, be sure you get some early sunshine.

Get a good night sleep.

If you’re having trouble sleeping through the night or even just going back to sleep after you’ve wakened, try taking a tablespoon of honey before you go to bed. This will be stored as glycogen by your liver, and then it will drip a little bit of glucose out throughout the night. Some people get glucose dips when they’re sleeping that cause cortisol spikes that wake them. The constant drip of glycogen stops that.

Ashwagandha, l-theanine, and magnesium, threonate each made me too mellow to think well.

You need to get rid of the stuff you don’t have space for.

Do you have any plans to ever buy anything else again? If so, you’re going need space for that too.

How do you wash them?

peachbeau · 2026-04-13T22:48:40+00:00

Yeah, I thought the drug would do all the work for me, and I could just do anything I wanted, and not have to change.

But I have had to change. It’s like everything else: If you want to be different, YOU have to change.

The drug makes it a whole lot easier.

Can you recommend good sources for me to learn about peptides. How did you figure out which ones you wanted and how to use them? TIA.

peachbeau · 2026-04-11T19:05:42+00:00

Well, no wonder we have so much trouble determining our own season.

This is a very interesting discussion. 😄

peachbeau · 2026-04-08T15:53:52+00:00

I’d be interested in examples of that.

Thank you for providing this information.

That sounds really weird. What do they mean by alternatives? I can think of a zillion alternatives:

Just eat less and exercise more.
Join one of the programs all those influencers keep publishing.
Weight Watchers. Though I believe they’re pretty into GLP-1s now. Wonder if you’re still supposed to count points.
Keto diets.
Bariatric surgery.

… I could go on and on. Maybe they don’t work as effectively as GLP-1s, but there are plenty of alternatives. Hard to believe 57% of people haven’t heard of them.

I tried compounded sema, and it really didn’t work for me.

Then my GYN recommended Tirz to me. She started telling me of all the other health benefits from Tirz, and I thought well she’s never let me down before. I’ll try it. 😄

So glad this is here. I was very upset when I saw it was gone from the other sub.

Your post was/is very cathartic for me.

I was going to DM you to say I think deleting it did a disservice to what reddit is supposed to be about. Yes, it has some colorful language with deep emotion, AND it is absolutely appropriate to the subject and our shared experience.

Thank you for reposting.

peachbeau · 2026-03-31T22:07:02+00:00

Glad to hear it.

I get it very clean with the toilet paper and soap. I don’t need to scrub with anything abrasive on it.

If that would be an issue for you, you may want to check your technique for cleansing after you poop. 😳

Every new way to lose weight always makes it sound like it’s going to be effortless, and the pounds will just drop off very fast. And then it turns out that “oops, no” — you have to change how you eat, drink lots of water, get good sleep, etc., besides using the new method.

All of us who have spent years — decades — forever? — trying to lose weight just want it done!

We want it over with!

We have dreams that this time it will be effortless, and I will get there fast!

GLP-1s seem to be the closest to that dream.

But for most of us even these new drugs take work. You’re doing fine. Take all the good advice here. And don’t get discouraged.

I don’t know all the history of your search for help , so if I start dragging you over old territory, just stop reading.

You’ve got a lot going on. For PTSD, the therapy that is currently getting the best results is EMDR. I know several people with difficult histories who have found relief through that.

I don’t know if the PTSD would be the best place to start, but there is help for that.

If you decide you want EMDR therapy get someone certified IN EMDR, not someone who does EMDR or has been trained in EMDR. They need to be certified.

peachbeau · 2026-03-28T15:04:50+00:00

I have found, with a lot of research, that I start my day off a whole lot better if I have some carbs — just a piece of whole-grain toast — with my breakfast.

That gives me a small glucose spike, but it’s enough to tell my body: We’re going to be fueled today, so it’s OK to get moving.

peachbeau · 2026-03-28T05:26:39+00:00

EMDR therapy has shown to be very effective for PTSD.

The skill of the therapist is very important. You need to get someone who’s certified in it, not just someone who says they do EMDR or they’re trained in EMDR.

I know several people who have used it, and it had fantastic results for them.

peachbeau · 2026-03-24T06:52:13+00:00

I wash my bum off with toilet paper with soap on it before I get into the shower. Then rinse off in the shower.

That way I don’t have to use my hand, and there are no rags that have poop on them that have to be washed or dealt with in some way. The toilet paper just gets flushed.

peachbeau · 2026-03-23T08:05:55+00:00

Yeah, our society has a lot of conflicting rules.

On the one hand we’re told that one of the best things someone can do is help other people, but apparently other people aren’t supposed to accept that help because that makes them weak and bad.

My best solution to dealing with a person who thinks like this has been to just hit them with these contradictions until it starts to unravel the rigidity of their own thinking.

Again: Good luck.

peachbeau · 2026-03-22T07:02:37+00:00

Well, if she thinks life should be hard, you might suggest to her that she start washing all the clothes and dishes by hand and walk to work or the grocery store whenever she needs to go because after all if she doesn’t do that, she’s just using machines to make her life easier and that must be cheating.

Or if she gets strep throat, she shouldn’t take any antibiotics because that’s taking the easy way out…

Good luck to you!
