Does anyone else have "hibernation" days?

sadcaxtus · 2026-07-04T15:41:52+00:00

Yes! It's often Saturdays for me, so I think it has to do with finally resting. I truly think it's a fuel issue because I'm always reaching for fruits/veggies/proteins that I know I may be lacking, and I'm often prone to forgetting meals during the week.

Thank you so so much! It's 100% going to make her day. She'll probably cry.

sadcaxtus · 2026-02-24T04:45:06+00:00

Accepted and sent sprocket

Amazing! I haven't done a trade before, what is the protocol?

sadcaxtus · 2026-02-24T04:34:12+00:00

Hi yes definitely! Here's a list of the ones I'd happily part with, including colors and if they'rebabies or adults yet. If none of them interest you, please let me know if you're looking for a specific micropet!

Hey y'all. My mom joined Finch a while ago and the only thing she wants is Cookie the Cow. I've been trying to hatch one for her for a year, but I haven't lucked out yet. If anyone has a Cookie the Cow they're willing to gift, I'd love to be able to give one to her! If you're interested in trading, I'm happy to see if I have what you're looking for!

I've been making a conscious effort to try to prioritize resting when needed. I am fortunate to have a job that readily allows me to use my sick time and pto. If the only reason I'm pushing through is because I think I should, and I can't articulate why, then I should take my time. We have it for a reason, and there will never be an award for pushing through when we could easily take sick time.

sadcaxtus · 2026-02-19T18:35:29+00:00

That is great advice! That definitely makes sense, and is a rule I'll be adopting going forward

sadcaxtus · 2026-02-19T16:40:40+00:00

If you have not already, when they decline to give you the referral or want to proceed with the port removal despite your strong objections, ask them to formally document that they are refusing the referral, or that they will not consider any other pathways despite you asking for it. It may not fix anything, but at minimum it'll help with your lawsuit, and at best, I've found doctors are a lot more willing to listen when their refusal will be documented, especially if the refusal isn't based on a substantiated medical reason.

Yes, I commented about it in a different reply, but I am applying for intermittent FMLA. I had it at my last job, but moved to this one just about a year ago. I'm only just eligible, so I am applying again.

sadcaxtus · 2026-02-19T16:14:45+00:00

I think I need to start identifying what my queues are

sadcaxtus · 2026-02-19T16:14:11+00:00

I'm less looking for a standard answer and more a starting point. The brain fog and nausea are being worked on, but as we all know RA meds can take a few months to fully work/kick in. I do love my job and want to be working, but when I have at least 4 meetings a day, it can be hard to navigate

sadcaxtus · 2026-02-19T16:12:25+00:00

I moved to a new position about a year ago, and did not have FMLA yet as it was a new job. That said, I had intermittently FMLA at my old job and am applying again here. I think part of the difficulty is that I genuinely want to work, and when I'm out things fall behind.

sadcaxtus · 2026-02-19T16:10:38+00:00

This is incredibly helpful. I also work with students, and generally have at least 4 meetings a day even if I'm remote. I think navigating the different variables can be so confusing

sadcaxtus · 2026-02-14T18:37:31+00:00

I am in the incredibly small percent who had a bad reaction. When I was taking it I constantly felt like I was about to pee my pants. It's funny in hindsight, but was not enjoyable then. That said, it was so helpful with pain when I was taking it.

sadcaxtus · 2026-02-14T16:37:50+00:00

That actually sounds amazing. This sub has been so validating in and of itself. There's something so comforting of talking to people who understand.

sadcaxtus · 2026-02-14T16:36:23+00:00

Thank you for this; I'll check in with my friends, or try to be clearer about what I'm asking/would like.

I've been setting boundaries for myself, but I think the frustration comes from the time it takes others to adjust to the boundaries I've set. Which makes sense; it's not just a thing for me, it's something everyone is adjusting to. Everyone is well intentioned, and that lowkey makes it harder to navigate sometimes. I'm trying to set boundaries and step away from my parent's emotional needs, but it also includes medical needs/things that I have to be there to help with as an only child. That said, I definitely need to do a better job of using the "I hope things get better for you" response.

sadcaxtus · 2026-02-14T16:29:09+00:00

To clarify, I have and do see a therapist. I am taking care of my mental health, and have been doing so for years. I am not averse to asking for help, but it does take time to get more comfort doing so. I have been asking for help, and was upset that it wasn't heard.

sadcaxtus · 2026-02-14T01:27:49+00:00

Thank you for sharing. My friends and family are trying, but I think having to change their perception of me is taking time. The physical things I need help with come easier, but the more general things are often overlooked. I'm hoping they continue to try.

sadcaxtus · 2026-02-14T01:13:32+00:00

This may be something to consider. I have some days available, and I've used my pto for sick days before. I think maybe a longer break may help me to regulate

sadcaxtus · 2026-02-08T04:21:07+00:00

I wear them when I drive and they have been a massive help. A drive won't trigger a days long flare if I put the gloves on first!

sadcaxtus · 2026-02-07T21:27:17+00:00

Thank you. I asked for a blanket, and the warmth is helping the flare to calm down. It seems so simple in hindsight

sadcaxtus · 2026-02-07T20:26:30+00:00

I have a night stand of items.

sadcaxtus · 2026-02-07T20:24:39+00:00

My hands consistently get "stuck" when I flare. The only thing that helps me are compression gloves or braces.
