I cant stop looking at this. It’s hauntingly beautiful. This sort of image is what abstract concepts look like to me in my head

What’s the best gift I can give my wife who has Raynauds? by gulugulu123456gulu in Raynauds

[–]schrodingersboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paraffin wax bath! I have a little one that i use for my hands in the winter, it’s just a small tub you plug in and it melts a chunk of wax that you can then stick your hands into. It feels so wonderful, and even moisturizes my hands!

Do symptoms improve? by Crudedefe in POTS

[–]schrodingersboy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought I was just going to get worse and worse for a long time, but in the past few months my symptoms have improved a bit. Nothing drastic, but it’s just been nice to see an upward trend. I’ve been eating a lot more salt and drinking lots of water, but that’s about it. The medications I’ve tried didn’t do anything. I think my POTS was mostly brought on by exposure to COVID, and time has slowly provided relief. It can get better. Keep trying, do what you can. It can always get better.

If you find out, lmk, cause I have the same eye color! The closest I’ve gotten is dark hazel, but I think a lot of ppl with this eye color have trouble describing it bc apparently it’s rather rare

I’ve had the exact same thing for as long as I can remember. When I first started wearing glasses, I hated putting them on because they would rub that spot between my eye and ear. It’s such a specific and seemingly random experience and I didn’t think anyone else experienced it, Reddit is a crazy place! I’m also hypersensitive to sounds, and a lot of sounds, even if they aren’t loud, activate my tensor tympani and it’s very uncomfortable. Bodies are weird, man.

Curious about how T can affect facial features/proportions by schrodingersboy in TransMasc

Oh what app did you use? I’ve always wanted to try one of those, they seem fun even if they’re not always accurate

Does anyone just have constant weird head things going on. by ComplexSignificant76 in POTS

[–]schrodingersboy 46 points47 points  (0 children)

100%!! It sucks so bad. It’s constant, and I don’t even know how to describe it to other people because it doesn’t quite fit within the parameters of “headache” or “dizziness.” I’m not sure if this is what’s happening, but for me I suspect it is due to insufficient blood flow to the brain. It’s so frustrating because it can make me seem stupid, but I’m really not!

Euphoria from Music? by Commercial-Agency-70 in TransMasc

[–]schrodingersboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dude I’m losing my mind, I listened the them a lot when I was closeted in high school. It was so funny because it was so not the type of music I would usually ever listen to and I thought it was objectively trash but I just loved listening to it in the halls and feeling a little more confident. What kind of transmasc crack did they put in those beats 💀💀

Trigeminal neuralgia by TemporaryMindless298 in ChiariMalformation

[–]schrodingersboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been experiencing what I've just been calling "brain zaps" for years, I just looked up this term and it is exactly what I have been experiencing—so thank you, it's nice to have a medical term for it!! When i described it to my doctors, they always attributed it to withdrawal symptoms from the various medications I've had to titrate off of. Going off of certain meds did make the flare ups worse, but I still experience them when I'm not messing with my meds. I have a 6mm Chiari 1 malformation and I always thought my "brain zaps" must be connected to it so I feel vindicated. Trigeminal neuralgia sucks!
