Doctors aren't much help, sick of all the drugs.
Both of my shoulders hurt regularly, sometimes I wake up in horrendous pain. I had surgery when I was in my early 20's, both have stainless steel anchors.
Is anyone else dealing with this? I think I need to do something different than the drugs, ice and heat. Rest isn't always an option either. What to do.
50/50 the local rescue ever calls me back. I think this bird may have hit my window (yes, I have stickers up - yes, I will add more)
I moved him some place safe waited about an hour and he was still there but was stuck on his side. He is able to move his legs, but not well. I have since transferred him to a box with side support and left him outside in a semi protected area but just checked again after about an hour, he still breathing heavily and unable to fly.
The local rescue is always busy and terrible about calling people back, I will try again, but does anyone have any further advice.
*update. The wind is picking up , the birds condition is the same so I added a towel now and moved the box to my bathroom where it's quiet, semi dark and there are no predators. No word from the local wildlife rescue yet.
I have to do small independent projects for income. Most of the work I get is posted at night for the last year or so. My husband and all of my immediate family know I have dysautonomia and multiple autoimmune diseases, and that I might start waking up at around 10am but I haven't had a chance to pee, drink some water, nor has my vision cleared until about 11. Yet 3-4 times a week my phone is ringing at 10. I used to answer, I have stopped. I really hope there isn't an emergency someday. But every time I answered, to say the question or topic wasn't important is putting it mildly.
My husband complains about me working at night, and then he or someone else will say something like maybe it's time to get a real job during the day - ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Why? So, I can work a few days maybe a week and then crash so hard I end up not being able to get out of bed or end up in the ER. What would be the point?
I can't commit to plans like eating out, or holidays because I don't know if I will even be up for getting out of bed, yet they get mad every time. I don't need to be there.
Yes, it is nice outside, but the barometer just spiked or dropped, and I don't get better the moment it stabilizes.
Yes, sometimes I eat food that I couldn't before. If other people think it's problematic to not know what I shouldn't or should eat try never knowing what you might react to because the reactions cycle in severity. For instance, sometimes wheat products are easier to digest when my GP is flaring than fruits and veggies (If I can even put anything in my stomach), but when I'm not in a GP flare sticking to fruits in veggies means I am less likely to have other flares. It's a vicious cycle. It's not that I'm ever okay it just sometimes I'm a lot worse.
It's like dragging giant ball and chain around all day every day and then someone asking me why I don't just take it off.
Sometimes people post articles in the sub I mod - fine if they are on topic and don't violate the spirt of the sub. We usually leave them but lately we have been getting articles posted on our sub by the person who wrote them. Sure, they are on topic and people seem to be engaged sometimes users report them, but not many.
- I don't like discouraging conversation, but the last one, while content was on topic and it was more than just a link it felt more like they were just digging for clicks back to their full article. I'm curious what other mods think of this? How strict are you? It's just an article nothing to download, but we aren't a click farm either. Do these come off as just spam advertisement to anyone else? Is it worth it to block or to keep them. We get just under 2 million views per week.
It won't pick up in photos - but the skin right on my lip line mostly upper but some bottom too is discolored or almost freckled maybe better described of the dark mark an old, healed pimple might leave, on top of a line of missing color on my bottom lip (looks like lip liner wore off). I use peptides and retinol at night, vitamin c and SPF during the day, and SPF ChapStick or tint when out in the sun. Any suggestions?
