No pain during dry needling

I recently had my first dry needling treatment on my upper traps and had absolutely no pain.

I asked my physio after the first side was done if that was supposed to be painful, and he said "oh yeah" noting I didn't even blink so I must have a different relationship to pain than most.

Now of course, in true adhd fashion, I'm fixated.

How often do people not feel pain during dry needling?

And I truly mean no pain, and actually no feeling as all - and now I'm trying to remember the last time I felt something that I would classify as pain outside of child birth.

Do your in-laws actually know you?

My husband and I have been together for 9 years, and have two children together. I've recently realized that my MIL and FIL don't know me at all.

Not even superficial stuff, like my birthday or what I do for work.

I know I don't talk about work because.. Why would I? But my MIL was trying to tell me I should use AI to do something legal, and I said, "or I can use my professional experience from my career for the last decade..." Apparently she thought I was a bookkeeper when I'm an EA for a partner in one of the largest firms in our city and literally process that paperwork regularly.

My birthday is a few weeks after my FILs birthday. A few years ago, while I was pregnant, they invited us over for a birthday party for him on my actual birthday.

It just made me realize that they don't know me at all. This can't be normal.... Right?

Where is the weirdest spot you have found a lost tonie?

Our Wiggles tonie disappeared a couple of weeks ago. At first, I assumed it would reimmerge naturally, but finally today I did a deep dive look through everything. I can't find it anywhere.

What's the weirdest place you've found one? Give me ideas, I'm going to loose my mind

Tired on vyvanse after smiling a day

I've only been on vyvanse for a few weeks now and am hovering at 20mg.

My first few days I was exhausted. I took some of the best naps of my life.

Yesterday was my first break day and I'm exhausted again. Took nearly a three hour deep sleep nap...

Is this going to be normal if I skip doses some days? Anyone else get this?

How would you feel about daycare staff having pictures of your kids on their personal phones, and shows people them in their off time?

I'm not a good rule of measure for this because I'm extremely paranoid about the digital privacy of my children.

​

My SIL works at a daycare. She tells me about the kids and shows me pictures. Not like general things like what activities they do, like "this boy is autistic and isn't potty trained at 3 and a half, his parents don't even try" I disengage from these conversations cause I find them inappropriate.

​

Personally, I would feel so violated if I found out one of my child's daycare teachers was doing this. But I wonder if I'm the exception or if others feel the same way.

Question framing reccomenedation

Hey!

​

So due to the area that I live in, and the fact that I still like to go for walks, every few weeks I end up having to call 911 for an ambulance for a person who is unconscious and alone.

​

I would LOVE if operators started asking more yes and no questions. Just because they appear unconscious, doesn't mean they are, and I don't want to say "y'all definitely need narcan" so a yes or no question asking if I suspect drugs to be a factor when I'm calling about a unconscious person in public would be so great.

​

​

(and, yes, I know people are going to say I should carry narcan. I absolutely will not. I go on walks with my small children and will not do anything to put them at risk. I only even touch individuals if I can't see them breathing. Calling for help is the best I can do, and if I'm alone, I stay with them and monitor their breathing via sight)

[PRODUCT REQUEST] To reduce redness on arms and chest.

I am extremely pale, except my arms and chest. Likely from sun damage. I don't know why this has never occurred to me considering I love skincare... It's just been so long that it's been this way that I never considered it.

Is there anything specific you guys would recommend? I want to look as ghostly as my genetics intended lol

Available in Canada, but I could get a friend in the States to bring something up for me if it's superior.

[Tissot] Impulse purchase at the mall today for my husband

Was feeling oddly sentimental when I was doing errands today. Saw this and thought of my husband. He's not a huge watch guy, but honestly cause he just doesn't spend the money on himself.

I've been out of the watch world for a long time, so hopefully it was a good buy..
