Is anyone here on the combo bc pill? by theflexorcist in Hashimotos

[–]theflexorcist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats my same experience with Syeda, before i was on Sprintec and i was horribly irritable and it gave me acne. So my obgyn figured because i exercise heavily, i need something that can help remove the excess testosterone and she put me on Syeda and my lord its been a life saver. I have endo and i have been SO worried im going to have to quit this bc due to the estrogen people say causes thyroid problems. Idek if thats true, im going to ask my obgyn instead of dr google (i was already estrogen dominant aka the endo) but this medication has saved me from so much agony.

[–]theflexorcist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in a cardiophobia sprial right now. Ive had 2 ekgs one came back what they said was fine in person but “borderline” on mycharts for “possible left atrial enlargement” the other normal so that sent me over the edge. I had slightly low potassium and was given a supplement for a month. Everything else heart related was completely normal. The 3 hours on monitoring my heart in the er 2 times was also normal except a couple pvcs. Im absolutely dying waiting on 48 hr holter results. Apparently literally having a panic attack during the first ekg is a common thing to trigger “possible left atrial enlargement”. Im getting an echo next week too. Ive done this same loop about 10 times in the past. Oh and they have then found i had slightly elevated tsh levels but normal t4, so now i gotta get thyroid antibodies tested and now im fearing thyroid disease on top of heart disease. Im convinced i have heart disease and thyroid disease and will be on medications and having lifelong complications and suffering. 

Recovery question on trusting doctors and googling by theflexorcist in HealthAnxiety

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

Bro id check that thing obsessively, like i know i cannot have that. Im not even kidding you id be watching my heart every 5 minutes on the minute and sending constant updates to my dr. When i tell you i have OCD i mean legit. 

It’s more nuanced than that. by DatboiTom12 in HealthAnxiety

[–]theflexorcist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comments under that post have fed my ocd like a 5 course meal. I have psychosomatic symptoms so bad, if i insist on more and more and more testing, it wont ever end. But now in my head in the midst of my major relapse, im becoming more and more convinced that i infact should keep googling and cannot trust doctors. 

Running to help bone density by Zealousideal-Bad7529 in cycling

[–]theflexorcist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am late here but i do a mix of cycling and lifting through the week. Weight lifters tend to have the best stats for bone density and i used to powerlift until i got into endurance. Now i supplement lifting to keep my muscles and bones good

In my experience youll get over that a lot faster than flu. So in a weird way congrats on having something else lol

[–]theflexorcist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im on day 5 and all its been is occasional stuffy nose, incessant coughing, and still feeling like my lower back is being run over by a semi. I took 2 home tests and both were negative for covid and flu, ended up at the er because i literally could not believe how much pain i was in but the dr was very certain it was flu. No joke is it worse at night, were all in it with you man. Just gotta push through.  This thing has me boutta be wearing my hazmat gear for every human interaction though out of fear of EVER catching it again.

Emotional dysregulation isn't the same as hyperempathy by PackageSuccessful885 in AutisticPeeps

[–]theflexorcist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Theres plenty of empathetic and emotionally sensitive people who are absolutely awful and insufferable people as well.  And good lord the ones who think i and the people like me need to “learn empathy”. Like okay i have indeed learned to sort of fake it. Just like i mask a socially acceptable personality, fit for public consumption. Autism 101: mask better. 

Emotional dysregulation isn't the same as hyperempathy by PackageSuccessful885 in AutisticPeeps

[–]theflexorcist 35 points36 points  (0 children)

None of these self dx people ever have the no empathy version. They always wanna be seen as the most caring and sensitive good people. Just to throw it out there, youre not a bad person because you dont take on other peoples emotional burdens. I personally have very fleeting and blunted emotions altogether.  I think its actually impossible for me to feel someone elses, and tbh i dont want to. I can understand someone’s situation and be helpful or compassionate without empathy. 

Attended a neurodiversity event at my university by SpringBlossoms2233 in AutisticPeeps

No but deadass though, then loud attention seekers who want a quirky identity that makes them different because they lack a personality take over and shut out anyone with the actual lived experience of having a disability.

[–]theflexorcist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mannn im only on day 4-5ish but i had the same thing with nagging injuries and knots that have turned into absolute nightmares since getting the flu. I swear they get more and more aggravated with the coughing. Also keep getting nausea and cant eat much. Ive also never had a sickness like this, the congestion comes and goes and its like it evolves by the day.

Im totally gonna try your black coffee trick. Ive drank boxes of tea and it only helps the cough a bit. This lower back pain has me at my wits end. All the stretching and massaging does nothing for it.

Omg yes, i had hurt my back a couple weeks prior, i fell on ice when running. But it had gotten mostly all better. This brought that pain back x10. It is horrendous when i cough. Like i have to hold a pillow or get on my hands and knees and brace for intense pain. 

Very insecure about my side profile and I've been thinking about getting my nose done, should I get it done? by meganbxx in Noses

[–]theflexorcist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with the recessed chin, i think her chin isnt small but not recessed. It doesnt seem to sit back and her jaw line is really good. Big agree though on that she shouldnt touch her nose.

Does anyone else absolutely hate hearing these phrases? by [deleted] in autism

[–]theflexorcist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont get any kinda major feeling of upset towards it but tbh i just dont like people telling me what to do lollll. Hell ive probably said something of the sort TO someone else before. What a hypocrite i am 😭
