A couple of hours ago, my Husband's grandmother died. Her whole family (minus the 2 of us) were present for her birthday. She was eating cake with everyone (extended family, kids, grandkids, etc.),...
It's quite possible it got stuck on someone's shoe or in a bag and just got thoughtlessly 'put' on the counter... It's amazing what sorts of schtuff we can pick up w/o realizing it. M....
I'm in reverse order as you guys as I'm coming to terms with not taking my "mother's" behaviour towards me personally. I know, it's very tough. And it's easy to be told, and less easy to do. But S.C....
Yes, yes, and YES! So add me to the pack of YES's. Had 'em all my life, continue to have 'em, and probably will keep right on having 'em, too. Never quite adjust to them, nor to their impact. It's...
I used to have decades and decades of dental phobia. It's got to be tough being a dentist,...having a job where no one cares much for you! The first step will be just an exam. I know, I know...even...
My skin is super sensitive and I'm convinced it reacts if the wind blows on it just right! ;) I'm not sure if I can relate specifically, but I've had marks on my skin which come in various forms,...
Well shucks. I have chronic insomnia (along with a cocktail of various dx's) so I'm a tad familiar with more than I'd care to be. So in response to your question: Yessiree! I sure do. I haven't slept...
Hi Albanian and welcome to our Forum! You've found a great group of people here, and we're pretty diverse. You're bound to find people who can relate to all sorts of things, and especially GAD....
I've been stuck with this ear-worm now...."It's all 'bout dat bass..." Can't get it out of my head! Ppptthhh! :P M....
Lisa brings up a really good point. A few of them in fact! (Way to go Lisa!) My MIL has one of those alerts as well, and she will always end up calling one of her sons instead when she's in...
I thought I'd share that I'm currently in therapy for complex trauma/ptsd,...blah blah blah, and so forth! So I can certainly share the emotion about dealing with childhood issues (for me it was...
Funny that S.C. brings this up because that's what's going on with me....remember we just compared notes on the vibrating eyeballs? My right ear aches, even my gums on that side are sore. But...
^^Ditto^^ Lots of great advise. Lots of things contribute to feeling lethargic. Sure, depression can play a factor, and so can things like not getting enough exercise, skipping meals, and anxiety. As...
Another thing is to make sure your blood sugar is at a healthy level. My body is super sensitive to,...well, pretty much everything. (I know, I know). For me, when my blood sugar is low, I'm much...
Brene is awesome! Check her talks out on TEDtalks as well. That's where I first saw her. She's incredible. And super kudos to you for the progress and enlightenment. I hear ya. My current therapist...
My therapist (psycho) gave me reference to a CP support group in one of our larger hospitals (as it happens, the same facility where I received my bc dx). It meets every other Tuesday in the evening....
Other random bits and thoughts,...I know my PT has told me (at least in my situation) that if the pain can be duplicated with specific movement, it can often be a case of an irritation or...
Oh good God,...only you! Well Toots, I really hope things turn around for you in time to get *some* enjoyment out of the upcoming holidays. You should write a book... ((hugs)) M....
This is just a general question for discussion and pondering... But if pharmacies can *only* dispense a certain quantity of pills per year, how do new patients (new to CP, new to the area, new...
I can share in so much of this frustration. It even feels a little complicated for my own private brain to come to terms with because I can 'work out' at the gym. I can even work out pretty...
I've been taking OTC Zantac for years and so far, thankfully, have not had a problem. However, due to recent events in my life, I'm now taking it more regularly than I have in the past. Thanks to...
I am still trying to wrap my mind around this fiasco. It's absolutely insane. I never thought I'd see this type of mistreatment in my lifetime. I am happy for you that you're edging your way forward...
Laundry (whether it's pulling wet clothes out of the washer or pulling dry clothes out of the dryer) has always been a bane of mine. So is the dishwasher. So is vacuuming and mopping (the pulling and...
I fully agree with S.C. and I have personal experience to back that up as well. I've been on multiple A/D meds since around the 1990's, and earlier. Some of them just weren't the right med for me. I...
What timing! I was in therapy today and I was complaining of the exact same thing. I told my therapist that I feel like my eyeballs are vibrating! (What a strange sensation, eh?) I'm familiar with...
Hi ducky, We welcome you to HW! This is a great site with lots of great people, and a strong network of support. You're right, this is an old thread. A super old thread in fact. My goodness our...
I *think* that one aspect that's to be considered is that these are health forums, and we do our best to maintain people's privacy, respectfully so, and provide alternatives (such as FB) for other...
Blu's, it sounds like you're going through bunches of different things right now, so I hope you're kind and gentle with yourself! I'm with S.C. and you on this one: I cannot test worth a diddly. No...
I've never been on that particular med, but what I *can* share with you is that I've been 'on and off' Prozac since it first came out in the 1990's. And with regards to my person experience,...
Gum, welcome aboard! There are a bunch of us who dislike flying, and you're looking at one of 'em! (So to speak). I hate, simply hate flying. You made quite the observation about the pile-up of...
I've been afk for ages, so I'm getting caught up... Oh Vickie, this is simply nuts! I wanted to check in and see how you're doing. Just when we think we've got a grip... Those damn zebras start...
Yikes. Truth? About 20 years. :( I've been through a bunch of dentists, and because of some of the meds I'm on, I've sent a number of the children of dentists through college all by myself. You're...
I have some frustration with some of these apps coming out. Stuff like checking your HR? Aaagghhh! They have a place and a time, but it's not on the wrists of people who have HA. For real. In a big...
....can't seem to find my first thread about this but I want to bring this current. I've been in therapy twice a week since July since 'coming out' and 'fessing up...and validating my childhood...
Another thought, since this affects me as well, I can relate....they make alarm clocks that wake you up using LIGHT instead of blaring SOUND! :) Also, although there seems to be a standard noise that...
Yep, ^^ditto^^ on the above. I think in this day and age, things are a bit twisted with our educational system, but hey, that's me and my personal opinion. I think it's *easier* for people to want to...
I agree. Focus on yourself and put "romantic relationships" on the back burner. For what it's worth, my Husband is 10 years younger than me and we met when neither of us were even looking, or...
OMG, I have the same thing!! The alarm clocks drive me crazy! What a way to wake up. For years,..... I *know* that's the point of an "alarm" clock....to alarm one into wakefulness and all but...
That med has been around for ages! And it's been used quite successfully as a prn medication, such as situational anxiety. I certainly think it's worth testing out. It has quite a long track record!!...
I think this tends to be a problem that so many of us with complex issues face on a regular basis. And sadly, frustration is part and parcel of this complex package that is the combination of us and...
I have problems with certain noises, especially of certain pitches or frequencies. Sudden noises out of nowhere get to me, but the sound of gunfire is just fine, so go figure that one out. Same way...
Haven't fully processed this yet....finding peace in knowing Kitt got her official Angel Wings pinned on by The Big Guy Himself.... Lisa...
In addition to all the good information, remember that alcohol dehydrates your body dramatically, and that is a very big contributing factor to feeling downright lousy.... M....
Well, I'm 52 and a chronic pain patient. I was first told in my 20's that I had the spine of someone in their 70's so,....doing the math, I'm a walking astonishment! I'm also (obviously) an A/P...
Faith, you're asking a really good question. I'm not on the same med as you, but I've been in similar circumstances when I worked nights. It really does take some planning and adjusting to figure out...
This isn't for shock value but this is really a *part* of the mysterious complexities which make up my quirky self: Today it was 36 degrees outside, and I took my dog for a walk....wearing my shorts....
Well gang, here we go again, as I am on BP meds AND Prozac, (not to mention the hormone depletion med because of breast cancer, so it throws my body into menopause all over again! Yay....) I truly do...
Do you take any type of OTC meds for your digestive issues? Funny thing you mention this because I've been having severe gastric distress for 3 weeks and it took me that long to put it together that...
Oh, I just had another thought. (I know, two in a row! I'm on a roll). Maybe some of this is just pent up energy? I rock when I'm standing in line in the grocery store. For me, I can't sit still,...
Piping in here! Consider this more of an in-between-er type of stage,....as your body (and mind) are trying to figure out a new homeostasis. In that regard it's perfectly normal to feel not perfectly...
