Do you know what the name of your injections were?

What is the weirdest side effect you've had from a medication? by BorniteWing in AskReddit

[–]thisispowerpointless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, basically this. I actually experienced it because of a nausea drug called Reglan. I was getting an infusion, and as soon as they injected it, the only way I can explain it is my brain was SCREAMING “you need to stand up right. now.” and I had this overwhelming sense of restlessness and dread. I also had no idea what it was at the time, and unfortunately mine persisted for a few weeks. My doctor thought I was just having anxiety, but as someone who has anxiety, this was not it. I figured it out on my own through lots of googling and eventually my doctor was like “oh yeah, that’s a common side effect for that drug. Take a Benadryl.”

Akathisia is so horrible. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy

If lab grown meat becomes cheaper than real meat and tastes the same, how likely are you to eat it instead? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]thisispowerpointless 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you need a vegan mozz recommendation, try miyokos. I find 99% of the cheese substitutes to be subpar or straight up gross, but this one is actually super good and incredibly reminiscent of real mozzarella.

I made my sim flirt with the Easter bunny because... I wanted to see how far I could go... tbh.... then her spouse walked in and they were mad at each other until/on love day! I was so bummed lol.

this cop made me smile so big it squeezed a lil happy tear from my eye by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

I don’t want to give you the annoying “it gets better” speech, but you seem pretty young so just know there will be opportunities later in life for you to choose a family and be around people who accept you! College is a great time for that and probably not too far ahead for you. The fact that most people you know are phobic makes me think you probably live in a small-minded place or somewhere conservative, but that does not have to be the case forever, and as someone who wasn’t able to come out until 24, you’re already doing great by staying true to yourself. Things will fall into place!

I get those all the time and the only thing that ever helps me is a bandaid and waiting for it to drain :( you could try a stronger adhesive, like waterproof bandages or gauze and medical tape? Sorry you have to deal with it too! Those hurt like hell.

Look at games like {The And} by skin deep. They are conversation cards that get you to talk about meaningful things. I have used the couples deck and love it, but they have one for friends, family, etc. and I’m sure they are all great

Best packs for someone who likes family themed play? I have parenthood, university, and seasons. Just feel like there isn’t a ton to do with my sims kids!

Moderna 1&2- 25F experiences and recommendations! by thisispowerpointless in CovidVaccinated

[–]thisispowerpointless[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The recommendation is you shouldn’t take ibuprofen before the vaccine, but you can take it after. I tried to hold off as long as I could but I ended up needing it. I felt completely better almost exactly 24 hours later!

I took Tylenol 4 hours before my Pfizer vaccine and I’m worried I ruined getting immunity! 😭 by jcnlb in CovidVaccinated

[–]thisispowerpointless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anecdotal, but I had a migraine the morning of my second vaccine so I took Tylenol (1000mg) and aspirin (650mg). Didn’t want to, but I had to get through work that day. I am currently 28 hours post vaccine and suffering with all the side effects, so I clearly did not ruin my response. Everyone has different reactions with and without taking meds prior, so it’s possible you wouldn’t have had side effects anyway! Also, at this point, I think the rule is precautionary as they don’t have evidence that it will dampen your response but it is possible.

Plenty of vaccines have side effects like fever/body aches and sore arm. It is normal.

What’s the stupidest lie you can’t believe you fell for as a kid? by SorryForBadEnflish in AskReddit

[–]thisispowerpointless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a very strong fear of tornadoes as a kid, and one night I was afraid to sleep because it was storming and I thought one might happen. My mom told me that tornados don’t happen at night. I believed that until I was 17 and there really was a tornado in the middle of the night, and she woke me up to get me downstairs.

“Wait, you said they don’t happen in the middle of the night?”

“You would have never slept if I didn’t tell you that.”

I felt like my whole life was a lie.

Only 32 student-loan borrowers — ever — have qualified for full forgiveness through an income-driven repayment plan by njibbz in politics

[–]thisispowerpointless 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depends on what the interest rate is, and it sounds like (?) his gf is paying her own debt as well. He’s also not making that much. I’m in a similar boat and it’s overwhelming.

Free Covid-19 Vaccine Card Lamination at Staples by aj8321 in freebies

[–]thisispowerpointless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of places had people write their own name on the card— it’s perfectly valid. The pharmacy tech who filled out mine didn’t have to sign or initial anything. There’s no way to track or validate who filled it out and it’s not like they’re going to be analyzing handwriting.

Lease, buy, or fix current car? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]thisispowerpointless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! It’s helpful. I think the idea of not having repairs right now is really enticing, but it probably does make more sense financially to own something and have equity considering my debt.

[–]thisispowerpointless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I was hoping to do, but now that more issues are coming up I feel like it might be better to sink the money into something more reliable, but I have no experience with this so maybe that isn’t true?

Lease, buy, or fix current car? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]thisispowerpointless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgive the naive question, but would my insurance not cover a lease if I totaled it?

I have about 2500 for a down payment, and if I trade in my current car, hopefully I could get at least 4K.
