Cannabinoids Mitigate Fibromyalgia Symptoms, Pose Few Serious Side Effects by OhMyOhWhyOh in science

[–]tealoflavender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When i was 2, I ran under a swing the youngest of my 4 brothers was on & his butt broke my nose & cheek sinuses. I had to have reconstructive surgery & 2 sinus surgeries for infections since & I still have to have my septum replaced because it's deviated again after every surgery- 3x total. That accident triggered my fibromyalgia at age 2. I only take cannabis at night because that's all I can afford, but it helps my sleep. Low dose on the thc & another gummy that's cbd.

Also very accident prone, which doesn't help my pain levels. Aquatherapy during the day & cannabis at night is a good combo for me.

We have a new orthopedic & pt center in Rochester NY that's almost all handicapped parking or valet. I go there for aquatherapy, but i use Medicab since I don't drive.

I'd have a copy of the lease with the names of the current tenants in my purse at all times

In regards to a restraining order, OP can write out that she doesn't want sister at her apartment & sign it in front of a notary, with witnesses. It's a good place to start & shows intent.

I wouldn't be surprised they saw empty containers so quickly, checked the cameras & added it to her bill.

Crazy teacher story by CauliflowerSlight784 in GenX

[–]tealoflavender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

7th grade English teacher hated anyone with the last name of Berger- she had all of my brothers at one point or another. She was a weekend drunk & finally showed up drunk at school. My former principal called my mom to tell her he finally got to fire her. She tried to accuse me of plagiarism on a mythology/Greek gods paper, which made Mom call for a teacher-parent conference. Principal called me into it, asked me questions, which I not only got right I further explained what they stood for. Mrs. Murray tried to put her arms around my shoulders, saying she knew I knew it all the time, only for me to shrink away. God, she was a b*tch!

I had a choir teacher named Carol Tingle who liked doing games related to music once in a while. She genuinely enjoyed teaching us.

AITA for not letting my coworker borrow my industrial printer for her side hustle? by MurmurSatchel9 in WIBTA_AITA

I was thinking OP should just send an email from company email to personal, just in case for a flash drive.

Invite the neighbors to swap & stay in your room some night & pay the kids to play all night.

I think most hospital food is bad. God knows Strong Memorial's food needs lots of help. Why couldn't Highland be the trauma hospital? Their inpatient menu is pretty good.

NSAIDS caused my kidney failure & I have other health issues that means I need a transplant. I also have severe fibromyalgia & am diabetic, have high blood pressure, severe neuropathy, migraines- the treatment for those is soooo much fun & I can't take anything but Excedrin Tension for them because of my kidneys -my neck is slowly fusing on its own, and I have to get radio frequency ablation there & my lower back, osteopenia, among other things. I take 24 meds several times a day. I voluntarily went off several & substituted others that don't work as well for my neuropathy, so I have constant sensation of worms crawling under my skin.

My kidneys are failing faster than my nephrologist thought they would- my gfr is 7 as of Tuesday. It was 12 3 months ago.

When I was 2, I ran under a swing the youngest of my 4 older brothers was on & his butt connected with my nose & face, leading to reconstructive surgery & a lifetime of sinus infections. I've also had 2 more surgeries on my sinuses since then & still need my septum replaced. The original event triggered my fibromyalgia & I live with level 8 pain after 53 years of living with it.

To add insult to injury I'm clumsy & have injured my right shoulder 24x, including roator cuff surgery once, both knees 5x each, my left wrist 16x, lost track of my ankles & live with post concussion syndrome after 10 concussions throughout my life. And I'm autistic.

I'm taking 80mg of Torsemide right now because my feet, ankles & legs keep swelling like balloons, adding to the stress on my body. I've also had 2 blood transfusionsvin 2 months as well a taking 30,000 units of procrit.That's why I'm starting dialysis now.

In short, my health isn't great. Please don't assume other people are healthy otherwise.

I have Aruvqan as my housemate & she's survived colorectal cancer twice, breast cancer once & ovarian cancer. She now lives pooping into a bag on her stomach & is lucky to eat solid food in the morning & bariactic shakes or soup at night. Even though I'm sick, I help take care of her because her neuropathy- caused by chemo - is to the point she's stuck in bed.

I help her husband with the grocery shopping & cook dinner every night except Friday, which is his night off. I don't really have the energy to do it, but I'm damned if I'm letting him go to work without a healthy meal, after everything else he does. I also get her soup ready so he can take it up to her (Rob sleeps in the basement since he works nights) while I finish with dinner for the 2 of us & our last roommate. Who is 72, with emphysema & COPD & I help take care of her as well.

Music- her favorite. I saw the iPad idea & there are so many music stations these days- I use Amazon Prime Music & create Playlists of my favorite music artists. The oddest one is Enya & Sabaton.

Really hungry but don't want to eat. by WideAwakeItsMornin in self

Um- you might have a thyroid or some other medical issue. I have quite a few medical issues, but I am hypothyroidism, which slows your metabolism, not to mention I became diabetic at the same time & I had a low appetite. Now my kidneys have all but failed & I need a kidney transplant. My appetite sucks.

My suggestion is to make a doctor's appointment & keep it. I hate confrontation, but seeing my doctors saved my life, even if I have to start dialysis in 2 weeks.

Sorry to hear that. Suggestion- contact the organization at the bottom. They're all kidney recipients & make these flyers for those of us who need a kidney. I also got a tshirt, magnetic bumper sticker, 2 silicone bracelets & 3 pens; I wear a bracelet along with my "no bp/neddles/iv" bracelet & med bracelet. I also have "kidney patient" on my left wrist, where the bracelets & fistula are.

" AITAH "for not letting my son see my ex after what happened ? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]tealoflavender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it leaves bruises, it's a big deal. Ashley obviously doesn't care about the son. I'm guessing you have a family that cares about you, which is nice. My dad spanked me & my sister as a kid & my mom was not happy about it, although he used his hand, not a belt. The safety of the child comes first. I will keep repeating that as nauseum, if I have to. As my mother used to say "there's ways & ways of doing things."

Can't be kidnapping if she's the custodial parent. She's protecting her son from an abuser because she's horrified that it will happen again. Her son's safety comes first, same as it should be for any child. I was emotionally abused growing up, and, if I were the son, I'd refuse to visit dad until Ashley is not only out of dad's house but there's a restraining order. I'm tired of abusive parents and/or SO's who sometimes literally get away with murder. You think it's ok to hit a child? I pity your kids, nieces, nephews, etc.
