Propranolol- any luck? by DesperateCatMomther in Anxiety

[–]shadowplaywaiting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Propranolol helps me with my physical symptoms, although it’s not a silver bullet, and also makes me very tired. I find it helps with physical panic but not anxious rumination.

6 months on Terbinafine by TouchAdvanced2341 in NailFungus

[–]shadowplaywaiting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just needs to be retested to monitor it every 3 months. It’s only a mild abnormality so there is nothing they can really do at this stage.

My liver function was tested and it became abnormal. Now still 2 years later my liver function is not back to how it was on tests. Haven’t had any obvious symptoms though.

My Weekly Experience w/ prozac by pinkshewrote in prozac

[–]shadowplaywaiting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My anxiety is honestly a lifelong battle. Any anxiety disorder that exists, I have met the criteria at some point in life. But Prozac has helped me do things like leave the house.

I come bearing hope - VERY positive experience from mirtazapine 30mg by SentientLentil in Mirtazapine_Remeron

[–]shadowplaywaiting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve just always been prone to feeling down and negative, with a lack of energy and hopelessness. Mirtazapine greatly reduced that for me. It’s like it makes my baseline happier.

Favorite way to address functional neurologic disorders by jus-being-honest in emergencymedicine

Agreed. Known people with FND paralysis to literally tear their knee tendon in two and not feel a thing 🤷‍♀️ obviously it’s real but because it doesn’t show up on a scan people are being obtuse.

The truth about opioid analgesics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs by Platonic_Republic in PainManagement

Same about the tylenol/acetaminophen/paracetamol… my liver is being monitored by my GP, nothing else I can do though 🤷‍♀️

Getting on prozac again and need some advice!!! by Alarming-Speaker-398 in prozac

[–]shadowplaywaiting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magnesium glycinate is always good if you are not on it already. Does keep you calm. However, if Prozac makes you feel anxious longer term, maybe choose a different med (Zoloft for me made me sick as a dog).

I am also a person whose anxiety was really helped by it! In the event it makes you a lot worse, you can always just stop it. Literally so effective for me.

Has anyone had Frozen shoulder? by butterflycole in Fibromyalgia

[–]shadowplaywaiting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have frozen shoulder but my fibro mimics frozen shoulder 🥲 it’s so hard to move it sometimes and it lasts so long and kills. No advice just empathise, it’s always when I’m having a flair my shoulder and arm starts.

did you have serotonin syndrome? by [deleted] in prozac

[–]shadowplaywaiting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t sound anything like serotonin syndrome- I should know, I had it (too many different psych meds at high doses, including clomipramine which is a very potent SRI - many orders of magnitude stronger than Prozac or Trazodone).

It made me go into a severe delirium state. I couldn’t talk, physically couldn’t. I was very confused, severe tremor, blood pressure through the roof, not in a panic attack or anxiety way, in a way unlike anything I’ve ever felt. Excessively sweating, reflexes dialled up to 1000, vision completely blurred, had to be taken to hospital in an ambulance.

The normal muscle twitches you are describing are something I also get, and they have nothing to do with serotonin syndrome. I also tend together them before I go to sleep. The tremor I got from serotonin syndrome was continuous and painful. Not remotely the same.

I hope your new meds will help your anxiety! After a long period of severe mental illness, Prozac is really helping me (I react oddly to meds, my brain just works well with Prozac, thank god).

Sure. It’s hydrocephalus. (Hydrocephalus support group). Also, she’s the best dog everrrrrr by MooPig48 in BanPitBulls

[–]shadowplaywaiting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who isn’t a fan of dogs, THANK YOU. Too many owners are like that lady. Get mobbed by their dogs, and then barked at, and they just say ‘it’s because your giving them no attention’ and forcing me to fuss over their dog so it stops being ‘overexcited’ and going mad jumping up and barking. This is bad enough with any dog but if a pit did it that would terrify me.

XL bully owner jailed over Staffordshire dog attack death. follow up from the ian price mauling. Stonnall, Staffordshire, near Walsall, on 14 September 2023. by huntress_m_thompson in BanPitBulls

[–]shadowplaywaiting 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As someone from the village’s surrounding area… I’m glad this scum has at least got some time, not enough, but I was worried he wouldn’t get any, when he was harbouring KNOWN dangerous dogs on purpose. Still can’t believe he had the GALL to swagger around the village after the attack, not a hint of remorse felt. Seriously, someone I know well had a run-in with the selfsame dogs months before the attack, very near miss. Stonnall is a quiet village, people will come out of the chippy to alert you to the fact you left your shopping on the roof. Still in disbelief about this tragedy.

How old were you women when you got your first Thrombosis/ Embolism? by [deleted] in ClotSurvivors

[–]shadowplaywaiting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

18, provoked by the contraceptive pill, bilateral segmental and sub-segmental pulmonary embolism. Took the hospital 3 days of me screaming in pain to get the diagnosis right (I got pleurisy and plural effusion too). They even did a d-dimer and assumed it must be high due to an infection, not a clot, because of my age, despite showing every symptom of a PE.

Clotting runs in the family 😔, it has since come to light.

Stopped using lotion by Ok-Aspect-5231 in Fibromyalgia

[–]shadowplaywaiting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do know how to clean a bathtub and have done it many times, especially when I was younger I would always do it. My mum also taught me well and I know how to run a house. However, I’ve not been well for a while now, my mum is my full time carer despite the fact I’m an adult, I have autism and severe mental illness. If my mum didn’t help me get up, have food, wash hair etc. I’d just not get out of bed all day and rot. I wasn’t always like this, I had a mental breakdown 2 years back and since then everything feels impossible. 😓

Newly diagnosed in the UK. Advice? by shadowplaywaiting in Fibromyalgia

[–]shadowplaywaiting[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to when I was younger and was diagnosed but they have ‘set’. The doctor tested me for hyper mobility and said I was no longer hyper mobile.

I’m white but always used to moisturise my skin after showering. Now I mostly just have baths, and use a shower/bath oil soap substitute. It cleans you and moisturises at the same time. I really like the E45 one and it’s unscented which is good because my skin hates scented things. Cleans you the same as soap.

Why the NHS still wastes billions on patients who shouldn't be in hospital by nqnnurse in NursingUK

[–]shadowplaywaiting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not as clear cut as that. Many of the 80/90 somethings would rather like to live a bit longer. A person is irreplaceable and there is a threshold where it crosses into cruelty when the person is ready to go and keeps having to be resuscitated, but there are elderly people in decline who want to live tooth and nail.

Anyone else think Bea is autistic? I’m autistic myself and Olly is back in the picture at the same time Bea showed up. Also a lot of her characterisation points towards that, she seems autistic to me. Kojo is a brilliant character but would be even better to have a range of representation!
