So I got chs last summer like right in the beginning and it was hell. I’ve now “gotten it” 4 times sense or maybe u call it an attack. I would start smoking again and tell everyone I’m limiting myself but I won’t and I’ll end up hitting it 10+ times a day, I have a few weeks of heaven and then I get sick again. But it’s lit only because I do too much and too often. I’m here to tell you you can smoke again, but it HAS to be in moderation. Also the first time I started smoking again I lasted a long time without getting sick again. Idk if it’s different for others but like I don’t get sick right after a hit like idk if that’s how it’s supposed to be it takes a few days or weeks. Here’s what I’ve been able to do and what im doing right now, I’ve been able to smoke randomly like I smoked once and like didn’t get sick this was like months/weeks of not smoking then got high once then was fine bc I didn’t do it again like u can do things like that. Right now, and I don’t want to jinx myself I’ve been doing edibles, the first time I did it i did too much and tweaked a little and now I’ve been micro dosing like lowk everyday which is rlly bad but I’m feeling all right, the high is not the same tho on edibles at all like I don’t feel high I just feel calm and I think the taste of weed in my mouth is just comforting. I know if I keep doing it everyday like this the inevitable will happen so I’ll try to cut back. Basically guys there is hope, u can smoke again but u have to do it right which is the hardest part, u have to do it in moderation, I think one day whej I move out I’ll smoke a joint like once a month and have a chill day, i know I wish I could do it everyday but we just can’t but we can still do it but u need to do it right. I can also give tips on what helped me through chs and other non weed things I do now to help me cope like things I take to calm me. If your struggling rn I’m sorry ik it’s hell but there’s hope guys.

Ok so I’m at 16mm and I don’t think my ears are built for this or at least one of my ears, my ears are the kind that go straight into ur neck like I don’t have dangling lobes but that’s not my main issue. Specifically in the back of my right ear the skin back there like engulfs my jewlery and it really hurts. I just don’t know what to do or what jewlery to wear with my anatomy. When I wear silicone tunnles I have to cut the back of them because it irritates the skin back there so much. I’m currently wearing metal tunnels that screw on but look like double flare and even thought the rim part isn’t too big it’s like really not working with my ears and I also fear I can’t even go bigger at this point with the irritation. Like I can try something that’s more of a plug that I hold in place with bands because that seems like the least irritating method but first off all I really want something hollow and second of all those kinds always come out especially if it’s some kind of rock or crystal they’re heavy and fall out. Then obviously silicone is irritating and I like metal but like everything is irritating with the skin in the back of my ears going on top of the jewlery. What do you guys recommend, what kind of jewlery should I be wearing. Help me out stretched community 🙏🙏

I’ve been writing down some symptoms for the past few days, I have way more different pains than this but I’m only writing the most painful ones and ones that specifically feel like needles or something very pinpoint that hurts really bad, I also have full body fasiculations and muscle tightness and stuff. The needle and ache pain is really annoying because it’s just hurts so much and is very uncomfortable. The needle pain is so bad and I try to itch it away and the ache hurts so bad it’s so uncomfortable. I have more pains and aches than this but I’ve been writing down these certain kinds. is this nerve pain or something concerning?

I want to know what beginning steps and tricks I should do to start my transition and also not be on t/ pre t. I feel like everyone here is already socially transitioned or starting their medical transition journey and I am far from that. I am 18 and want to know where to start and like idk I just need a step by step. I stopped wearing makeup a long time ago and I wear masculine clothes and a binder when I can. I switched my piercings to masculine silver jewlery today. I want to keep my long hair because I’m convinced I can look like a metal head 😔, like IM CONVINCED I can make it work like I see guys with long hair all the time I feel like I can make it work. My only issue with that rn is I have bangs so I’m gonna be growing them out of course and I wish I could find more tips and info on how to wear or masculinize long hair. I just want to know what I can do right now, and little subtle things I can change.

Do I have to switch to silver? Does jewlery need to be basic or can it have diamonds and stuff

Where do I start? I wear Jorts which make me feel the best bc I don’t have any masculine jeans and I wear big shirts, but what do guys wear like??? And where do I get boy shirts (I obvi have no concept of what boys wear even tho I see tons everyday) I just need helpppp

This is all that comes to mind but sorry it’s a lot I just want to see if people relate to these things or have other suggestions

Idk if this is stupid but after reading through this community I relate so much, I was wondering if someone could ask me questions on symptoms I would have if I had SFN. I relate sm to what everyone is saying on here but I wanna talk one on one

I’ve had fasiculations and twitches on my whole body for years and I just assumed BFS because I thought it meant just fasiculations but is there other stuff that happens to our body w this diagnosis?

I got a needle stabbing like sensation in my scalp on my right side above my eyebrow under my hair like behind where bangs would be, I had felt something throughout the day but thought some hairs were just caught on my piercings or something. My boyfriend kissed me right on that spot and I was like wtf it feels like I was stabbed with a needle, the rest of the day I was searching with a mirror looking for anything I could to see if there was something there but there was literally nothing. I was ripping out hairs I was digging and looking and found nothing. I’ve been experiencing headaches for a bit so I tend to ignore head pain but I do recall I did have a headache that day, but my headaches are always on the right side of my head in the front of my face to the top and middle of the top of my scalp. My dad is a doctor and guessed it was some kind of nerve pain, it hurt to bad and everything triggered the needle feeling, wind, tucking my hair behind my ears, moving my head, walking, chewing, everything. It’s the next day and I still have this needle feeling but I now have such an intense headache specifically in my eye and eyebrow like it hurts so bad it’s so intense and the needle feeling is still there and the headache does reach that spot. It feels different then a headache though. I know this is really early with the needle sensation but I have been feeling these intense headache for a while so I just want to know if anyone knows what’s going on.
