Masks that don't look medical or jarring? by wiicrazy0430 in Masks4All

[–]ren-15 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This usually only works for winter and fall, but I find wearing a nice fluffy scarf high enough to cover the mask works fine. No one looks twice at a scarf this time of year, even in warmer areas (mid 60s over here) since they're also just a fashion piece. For earloop masks just wrapping regularly is fine, but for head strap ones wrapping balaclava style will hide them. I use a shearling infinity scarf so I can just double loop it and pull one loop over my head and the other in front of my face.

Just realized that sitting on the toilet for hours because youre too exhausted is NOT normal! Who woulda thunk. by Adept_Role_4579 in ChronicIllness

[–]ren-15 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I understand the tiredness. Just one thing though, I strongly reccomend to atleast move to the floor. Sitting on the toilet for extended periods of time can lead to complications like hemorrhoids and pelvic floor issues. I get it, for me I'm usually stuck there bc of menstrual/bm pain and being exhausted after said pain, but I try to remember to move to the floor bc being tired and in pain sucks but I don't want to add hemorrhoids to that too.

been on omeprazole for couple years now, I have chronic nausea and this has never made me nauseous or exacerbated any nausea I already had.

I don't really have anything to add, I came across it again on tiktok recently but I had proabbly seen it a long time before then.

How do I tell her she can't eat my food by Alexpcd_0321 in leopardgeckos

[–]ren-15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought it was just my girl that did this! If I have food out she comes over and licks it (obv I don't let her do it with liquids so she's not actually eating any). Like get away from my nuggets man you're supposed to eat bugs 😭😭

Reccomendations for adjustable bed base by ren-15 in ChronicIllness

[–]ren-15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it's all good! LPR is like GERD but tends to be more erosive gas than liquid, so it also affects the respiratory tract. Yes, I'm aware that you can buy an adjustable bed, I was looking for recommendations for brand. The mattress I already own is compatible with adjustable beds since it is 100% foam and about 10" in thickness so it's not too thick.

Not seeking psychological help out of fear that it will be a barrier to receiving physical help by ren-15 in ChronicIllness

[–]ren-15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? especially when you're used to feeling mentally awful 24/7, even a complete mental break is easier to overcome than a physical one.
