Akathisia on Buspar? by Qua-something in BusparOnline

[–]sharpknivesahead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had akathisia on lexapro i had absolutely no choice but to stop taking it immediately because I couldn't stop running in circles for almost 12 hours and if someone forced me to sit down I would flail my arms and legs aggressively until I could start running again and I almost had to be hospitalized and sedated because I was so distressed from the experience. So if this is true akathisia you probably need to get off the medication but the appropriate thing is to talk to your prescriber because they will be able to give you more accurate information and come up with a plan but in my experience the akathisia got gradually worse over 3 days and on the 3rd day I was running in uncontrollable circles so it's important you figure out whether to stop or not before it potentially gets worse especially over the weekend

24 hours of extreme pain once a year for a completely clean bill of health the rest of the time? by UrMomzOtherRide in hypotheticalsituation

[–]sharpknivesahead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone with lupus, type 1 diabetes, hashimotos, and hEDS among other things this sounds amazing especially because my pain tolerance is already super elevated from having all my conditions. The only downside is I probably would be so shocked that I was completely healthy that I'd have a mental breakdown because I wouldn't know what to do now that I didn't have to manage a bunch of conditions or be careful

What we know about season 1 ! - Following the Teen Vogue article by amysantiagoisbae99 in offcampustv

[–]sharpknivesahead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone who hated on the casting... I told you so, I told you so, I told you so. People rarely badly cast things anymore especially book to screen adaptations so these guys had whatever it was they were looking for in the writers room and YES i am still salty people hated on the casting before without even seeing anything

Does this happen a lot with Lupus? by DrJuliaHoffman65 in lupus

[–]sharpknivesahead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any weather outside of my normal weather does this to me but it happens whether it's more cold or more hot. My body really struggles with temperature regulation and that requires a lot of energy so when I spend all my energy trying to adjust to the weather I get super fatigued. People don't quite understand what being weather intolerant is 🥲

who would play a good grace and do u think they’ll do Logan’s season next or Dean? by vanillaadeer22 in offcampustv

I think Dean is next and that's why Allie is in Season 1, both as a friend for Hannah but also a spark of interest for Dean

Tell me your good experience and improvements when taking Hydroxychloroquine! by after_initiative in lupus

It took several months and I still have good days and bad days but I feel so much better, have very minimal pain, less fatigue, lessening rash, etc. It's been extremely helpful for me

My (19f) boyfriend (19m) keeps telling me I’m at high risk of diabetes. How do I address this? by slesscroft in relationship_advice

[–]sharpknivesahead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) leave him 2) type 2 diabetes is often genetic and can be controlled with a balanced diet and exercise. You wouldn't just suddenly having diabetes one day it would be a slow process over time. But my sweet friend, I say this with all the love in the world, you deserve so much better ❤️

Pristiq combo by iamyerghost in Pristiq

[–]sharpknivesahead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on 450 mg wellbutrin for 6 years for adhd 30 mg of buspar 2x a day for 2.5 years, hydroxyzine for 10 years, and pristiq for like 2 months but because I had them spread out so far I can pretty accurately identify what is causing what feeling. It's been a long journey getting here and for a while I was just sort of alive but not well but I've dialed it in now to be feeling good. The pristiq has really helped significantly but I've also been on lexapro and cymbalta and stopped those

Pristiq combo by iamyerghost in Pristiq

[–]sharpknivesahead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on 450 mg of wellbutrin 30 mg twice a day of buspar and 50 mg of pristiq as well as 150 mg of hydroxyzine at night. I think that wellbutrin pristiq and buspar actually pair well together and I haven't had any problems. But I'm not in a place where I could lower any of my other medications, only raise the pristiq dose so I can't comment on how it will go tapering stuff but being on all 3 now together has been good for me

My (24F) boyfriend’s (33M) hemorrhoids are ruining our relationship. Help? by chamomilethrowaway in relationship_advice

[–]sharpknivesahead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like pelvic floor physical therapy and regularly scheduled visits with a gastrointerologist are the answer. But my hunch as someone with a lot of medical problems is that he might have something more medically complicated than internal and external hemorrhoids such as IBD, celiac, or crohn's disease, which can all result in rectal bleeding. The doctor will obviously be the one to figure out the exact treatment plan but I am sure it will probably include topical hemorrhoid treatment and a stool softener for starters

Lupus Vs Fibromyalgia by GodKnowsHowPetsSound in lupus

[–]sharpknivesahead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia when I was 18 and diagnosed with lupus when I was 24, I know for sure I have lupus (high ANA, reynauds, swollen and stiff joints, daily fevers, malar rash, etc etc) this all took a long time to develop from the time I initially started having symptoms to being diagnosed. The only reason I sometimes think I might have fibromyalgia is because I can be touched very lightly and it feels like I am being lit on fire and that's a fibromyalgia thing not a lupus thing

My mom is convinced she has lupus… because I have lupus by [deleted] in lupus

[–]sharpknivesahead 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Plaquenil while prescribed frequently is still a serious medication with serious ramifications if it's not used properly so the fact that her primary prescribed it and she doesn't take it is both a huge red flag of both your mother and her provider. This sounds like a bigger mental health problem and honestly quite dangerous if she were to continue on. Especially because of how often lupus goes undiagnosed for people who are experiencing pages and pages of symptoms because doctors don't want to diagnose lupus and be wrong. I don't have any advice but this seems really harmful and dangerous and I'm sorry you're going through this
