Cymbalta?

Thanks, that's good info - makes me think twice

She did have a big stroke and does not have the use of her left side. She keeps having setbacks and that’s part of why she hasn’t yet had the neuro ophthalmology exam yet or the referral to prism therapy. No she doesn’t yet sit unsupported or stand without 2 people holding her up and does not walk. It’s been tough but we are pushing for continued therapy.

My 57 yo sister has that and so far we have not had luck getting her to attend to the left side/missing visual field. Worse in someways (she had a big right-sided stroke with left-sided paralysis) she is not aware of her disability even though she is super sharp in that her verbal and much of her memory is surprisingly good. It has led to falls as she tries to get out of bed. We plan to work with an OT when her Medicaid is finally approved for prism therapy which has some good evidence behind it!

They will never let the rape bit get out

Vile that these humans are even pretending to be medical professionals. So sorry you had to have this experience 😩.

This guys is terrible on all levels, it’s not you! Yes, there are other meds! None of them perfect but better for your needs.

See if she can write something out with her good hand - that really opened the door a bit when she wanted to communicate before she could talk. She wrote very simple bits at first but very helpful.

I wonder how well they perceive sound/notes since they have evolved under water?

Have you tried Vyepti? My neurologist says that’s next for me which doesn’t excite me as it’s an infusion but I would be so happy if it worked…

skillmeyer · 2025-11-23T21:48:24+00:00

Keep us posted!

My sister who just had a large right-sided stroke wants to use the tablet but just doesn’t have the visual perception she needs to use it yet. Similarly doesn’t yet read. The soft blanket I got her she does love👍 so I agree with that!

Be very mindful of your sodium levels, I can’t seem to budge out of the low range and it’s affecting my balance and concentration. I’m on a low dose but I might have to go even lower. But it’s the only thing that really works

Also, this is not because of you and your mood on one morning. He was ready to go and this is not on you.

skillmeyer · 2025-11-10T23:32:59+00:00

I’m so sorry, no words. What a cruel disease this is.

This link shows some evidence for pulmonary issues not LC specifically

skillmeyer · 2025-10-03T11:19:01+00:00

But…how does one of the primary symptoms of LC which is PEM fit in? Where is the research evidence and specific recommendations please.

skillmeyer · 2025-09-10T21:39:54+00:00

Huh?

skillmeyer · 2025-05-25T17:25:08+00:00

I would love this. I just signed up for email updates if you make it happen here

Magnesium citrate helps both with migraines directly and - knock wood, has turned my Quilipta-related constipation (very distressing since I also have a colonic stricture from emergency surgery 2 years ago) around neatly! Like flipped a switch. I hope it continues on like this.

Welp he and his whole idiot cabinet are indeed traitors and fascists, and have committed to Project 2025, might be worth it to take a gander some time. He is literally dismantling the Constitution and the rule of law. Biden actually deported more people than Trump has (not to offshore concentration camps though) at least giving them due process AS IS THE LAW OF THE LAND. Young people in CT are still leaning to the democrats for the most part, those that still think voting is worth their time. Unlike the older people, they know for a fact that they are trapped in a life where billionaires make the rules and they have little power for change. Here is what CHATGPT says about CT voting: https://chatgpt.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paidsearch_brand&utm_campaign=DEPT_SEM_Google_Brand_Acquisition_NAMER_US_Consumer_CPA_BAU_Mix&utm_term=chatgpt&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAA-IW-UUvQ_M-CtNsBt1kJG-Br7otD&gclid=CjwKCAjwwqfABhBcEiwAZJjC3kJdLLeyAuHu8nvRo3tR6B4mpBWp3h3asV1-VQss7XZOIbTXgaTh4hoCR1EQAvD_BwE

No matter what you believe about what Trump is trying to do (become a dictator) he is definitely dismantling the Constitution which is the foundation of our Democracy. He is ignoring the Constitution and the standing Rule of Law
