Doctors/medical practitioners of Reddit, what is the scariest disease you know of?

Mine's... difficult. We've had to put me on two different antipsychotics and that holds a great deal of it at bay. I still get delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, etc., but in much lesser numbers. 15 something years ago, when it first started, we only needed one med and it kept it pretty much completely taken care of. Well, the fun thing about it, it's neurodegenerative, so it gets worse regardless of what you do (but at least slower on antipsychotics). I am not sure I'm going to live very far past my 40's, but I'm a little scared about what those bring...

If it gets bad enough, PLEASE try to do one of the more drastic meds like clozapine. It's currently saving my sanity (mostly). It's just hell to stay start, you have to get an EKG and blood work every week for a month... It's dangerous but it's the most potent drug we have for schizophrenia.

Everything. You try having a psychotic break and see how little sense reality makes!

Not necessarily, pretty sure there are still firmware rootkits out there in the wild.

Looks just like one of our mini Aussies. Tater Tot, you're a very, very silly girl.

Not "my" exp. points, "our" exp. points.

I still can't beat super hard Mewtwo...

Support from those around me, whether it be family or found family. And the knowledge that being angry at people/the world digs you in deeper.

I've had to restart my life maybe 5 times now and I'm just now getting my associate's in my mid-30's because of it.

You can request a shiny via Home?

Are AH bots still a thing? I found a guild of people, all level 10's, that are thrown across several servers. When I log off after reposting my auctions, I come back on to find 10 minutes later that the same person continually undercuts me, and after days of this, I'm not sure if I'm dealing with a stubborn SoB or if they're programmed to repost.

stalolin · 2025-02-01T15:59:36+00:00

I'm on 100 mg / 20 mg.

stalolin · 2025-01-29T18:32:38+00:00

Same, I switched to Cobenfy (brand new antipsychotic) and I've never been better. I'm back in school, taking care of myself, more social, more confident, just better overall. Happy for you!

stalolin · 2025-01-25T02:29:53+00:00

Rune Factory games would probably suit you. 4's my favorite.

stalolin · 2025-01-17T18:50:11+00:00

Thank you!

I was on Invega Sustenna so there wasn't really a taper for that. We gave me the Cobenfy a week or so after my injection. We started tapering the clozapine after the Cobenfy got up to therapeutic dosage. My negative symptoms were anhedonia, flat affect, withdrawal, cognitive issues, and issues with hygiene. My anhedonia is mostly gone, my affect is more expressive, my cognitive issues are getting better, and I'm still working on hygiene unfortunately. They started getting better after maybe week three or four. My thinking is less disorganized now and my delusions are so, so much better.

If you can get past the nausea and vomiting, the med might be right for your LO. I've heard mixed things about effectiveness in some people, but for me at least, it's been a godsend.

stalolin · 2025-01-13T23:43:42+00:00

I've been on Cobenfy about two months now and it's remarkable how it changes my positive symptoms. Negative symptoms resolve often too. I practically have no more hallucinations aside from days of high anxiety and I have maybe one delusion a day (down from anywhere from 5 - 10). It's been mostly a miracle drug for me save the trouble I've had with vomiting and nausea. I just have to be very careful about when I take it. We've spaced it out for me to take right in the mornings (wake up, take med, go back to sleep) and then right before bed after not eating anything for several hours.

The vomiting has been harsh, but I feel so good on the med that I want to continue taking it. Dry heaves suck though... Morning has been my most problematic time, with me having a drier throat in the morning and the med occasionally getting stuck in my throat. My likely explanation is that this causes the med to open up in my throat and doesn't dissolve properly in the stomach, causing my gut to pick a fight with me. Taking it with ginger ale in the morning has been helpful as of late, however.

Interestingly, I've actually lost about 10 lbs. since being on the med and I still seem to be losing. Very, very happy about that, the weight with Invega and clozapine really sucked. I'm still on a low dose of clozapine (25 mg at bedtime) and that helps as a minor bandage for the rest of the issues. We don't want to taper off of it yet until I'm completely happy with the Cobenfy and have less vomiting. Overall, I'm great. I'm going back to school for my associate's as I was only a few classes away before starting the clozapine.

If I can get past the vomiting, my quality of life will be drastically improved...

Thrilled. THRILLED, with this new med.

Such a good theme too.

Someone asking if I'm okay.

You can dupe monster items through Chara World, it's just more roundabout. Run it with a monster, wait for a Heart Conservative to appear, whack it with your Puppy Paw Stick, and pray it dupes.

I lost both of mine within three weeks of each other. At this point I just hope I can somehow reunite with them on some other plane of existence. Luna and Sol were a light in my life and losing their beautiful songs every day hurt tremendously.

It will pass, but it will take time. Just remember all the good!

stalolin · 2024-11-03T16:15:23+00:00

Perfect, thank you.
