I’m on the fibromyalgia/ heds spectrum, and ever since I’ve started doing my PT stretches everyday, when I do them now my back can crack like along 1 foot of my spine, or I’m stretching my neck and I hear crinkling plastic wrap in my neck or spine. I crack so fricken easy even when I’m not trying to!

When I first started, I was rolling down my legs from standing so my hands hung to the floor, and my spine DROPPED a good two inches. Ever since then, I’ve been cracking and popping and crinkling.

Edit: this is very validating! Thank you for the comments. It drives me nuts sometimes. Or sometimes when I walk, I can hear tink tink tink in the back of my head where my skull meets my neck, but only sometimes

Edit: do yall get migraines too?

I’ve added kimchi to my rice the past 3 days, my farts are insane.

I bought the giant jar from Costco a week or two ago, and I’m almost done with it.

I bet if I eat the whole jar at once, I’ll save $$ on gas since I’ll be able to toot myself wherever I’d like to go

Yall!

Had my first iud at 15, loved it, no period or weird symptoms.

Got it out at 22. Thought I might have endo, started me on pill then shot. Didn’t have endo, stayed on shot before stopping for a few months and then finally got another IUD.

Bleeding never stopped after over a year, got this HORRIBLE monthly cystic acne all around my eyes, eyebrows, and nose creases on either side (even a GIANT deep red tomato cyst on the bridge of my nose). Got an ultrasound last week, and my IUD is Malpositioned!

But getting it replaced wont help with the acne right or even possibly the bleeding?… so disappointed, it worked so well the first time, set it and forget it! Tried the arm one at first and had the constant spotting, so I tried the IUD and it was a miracle.

No miracle right now!!

Lost about 30 maybe almost 40lbs.. loose skin on my biceps is really making me sad. I’m gaining muscle and I can see that, but I wasn’t prepared for having flappy arms 😭 I probably want to loose at least another 30, 200 was a good weight for me and I think now that I am gaining so much muscle, 200 will also look much better on me than it did previously (even then I was much happier)

Got up to 270 from medications, after holding steady at 245 for a couple years. That 25lbs I guess was just enough to stretch my skin so now I have old lady arms in my 20s.

My legs are just fine, and I suspect I might get some loose skin with my stomach, but my arms are making me so sad. The worst part is, with my body dysmorphia, I had thought for the longest time that my arms looked like they do now, when they definitely did NOT, and I didn’t even get to enjoy my not bird wing arms when I had them.

Hoping I will continue to build muscle and that will help? I was starting the red light therapy at planet fitness, but I read the red light they have doesn’t do anything and I can’t pay for more stuff.

Happy I’ve finally started to lose, and that I’ve found exercises that are working for me, but I’m so embarrassed by my arms now. Thought I couldn’t wear a tank top / strap tops before, but now I REALLY can’t.

First time I got my iud I had no spotting, no period. Took it out for two years and used the shot, no period. Took a 6 month break before getting iud again, same type since last time. Been spotting nonstop for a year and one month, going through endless panty liners.

I pee many every two to three hours, and even though my liner isn’t full I can’t help but change it after seeing it even mildly soiled. I’m saving up for a diva cup, but I’m curious what everyone else does for their pads/liners when it comes to changing it.

TBH I haven’t had to deal with pads and all this in FOREVER, so I’ve like forgotten my pad protocol. Tampons aren’t an option because my flow is too light, and I use period underwear only at night.

Also has anyone else had the experience where their first iud took their period away completely and their 2nd one now leaves them spotting?

That’s why I keep getting ingrown toenails! White showing on any of my nails makes me feel really gross, like a sensory type of thing so all my nails are short as possible but I guess I’ll have to grow those two bad boys out
