Feel exhausted after getting IUD, normal?

hello, I recently got my IUD about a month ago & I feel so depleted, i have little motivation & am struggling to concentrate at times. I’m also coming off of the depo shot so I know my body has to be so confused right now. No pain, no weird smells, no pain..I just feel off. Anyone else? did it go away?

Fed up with the pain under my shoulder blades..

I was diagnosed in early may by having a lump on my chest inspected. the lump on my chest was only painful when I continued to touch it. I had very little pain for the following month. Now, my shoulder blade & neck pain are bothering me very much. I use my electric back massager to gently massage my back in hope of breaking up the cartilage but it’s not working. I have some pain also in my breas, arm pits & middle of my chest. what else can I do? it’s making me feel exhausted & on edge. I’ve had worsening pain for over a mont.

How was a diagnosis helpful to your child & family? Pros, Cons?

Hello, I have suspected since my son (now 7) was very young that he had ADHD. I had him evaluated by my family doctor who agreed that his behavior is consistent with ADHD. I asked to be referred to a specialist to be sure. I am not looking to put him on medication, I’m only intresTed in better understanding him & growing as a parent to conform to his needs. Do we need a specialist? The closest specialist is over 2 hrs away, how frequently does a child see a specialis?

Id also like to add, he has an IEP at school & works with 3 different IEP teachers for speech, motor skills & coordination & behavior

I am early into my crochet journey. I know the basics of reading a pattern. For a week I’ve been stuck on a pattern. it’s kind of a granny square type thing for a kit from hill folk ..it’s supposed to be square but, I keep getting a circle. I’ve made a granny square befor, not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Overwhelmed with 7 yo

let me start by saying my 2nd grader is so sweet, he has a great personality & loves with his whole heart. Since he was a toddler he has always kept me on my toes, always pushing the limits & making me a nervous wreck. We have tried to put him in many different sports but he doesn’t fit in well with kids his age, he more of does his own thing & wants all the attention on himself. Im sure the other kids his age think he is a bit weird & it breaks my heart. He has no interest in playing sports. He tends to act out more for adult attention. Instead of bonding with the kids he is trying to help, talk & even act out for adult attention. I do have another son & they do play okay together. My son throws a fit when he is told NO & will slam doors & throw himself to the floor. He will purposely do things I tell him not to do..like..touching a hot firepit or jumping into water without a life jacket even though he knows the consequences & that it is dangerous. I’m afraid to let him out of my site. He does have school IEP for speech, motor skills & behavior but they have mentioned nothing about seeing any type of specialist or doctor. Anyone go through anything simila? I don’t want to over discipline him & make him feel like he’s a “bad kid” if he need special attentio but I also don’t want him being out of control if he just has a unique, yet challenging personality...there are so many more concerns I have, i feel like I’m failing him.

Is my garlic okay?

This is my first time growing garlic bulbs. I planted bulbs spring 2025 & by fall they were not ready for harves. I left them in the ground, it is now July 2026, early for an Ohio garlic harvest but all of my older garlic plants have gone brown. Is this safe to eat? Not sure why the garlic browned so early.

Anyone have similar symptoms?

I woke up this morning with side of neck & front of neck sore . I have never had this issue before. I do have pain at the base of the neck, under shoulder blades, arm pits & chest on a more normal basis.

curious if this happens to anyone else or if I’m dealing with something else.

Shot or IUD?

Im looking for experience. Anyone switch from the shot to the IUD? I’ve been on the shot (every 3 month) for 5 years & am looking into IUD. I’m curious if your mood or anything else changed better or worse . I don’t see the shot talked about much on here.

Panic attacks? Anyone?

I’m just wondering if my panic/anxiety attacks are indeed related to my diagnosis. Soon after i found the first lump on my chest I had my first ever anxiety attack..felt like i couldn’t catch my breath. Today, I’ve had a wonderful day, no worrie, life is great , some pain & discomfort, woke up in the middle of the night & couldn’t get comfortable with neck & back pain..now I feel like I’m in the beginning stages of another anxiety attack. I can’t catch my breath & just my world feels different around me. Am I dealing with something else entirely or is this a symptom others can relate too? I feel like the attacks are worse than the pain.

Thinking about IUD, copper, or hormonal?

I’ve been on the birth control shot for over 5 years & im re for a change. i talked to my provider about the copper IUD & it seemed she was trying to advise me against it & more towards hormonal IUD (Mirena). My doctor told me satisfaction rate was higher with hormonal. Anyone have any thought? Anyone else switch from shot to IUD?

Alternatives to NSAID

I am curious if anyone has any supplement, herb or weeds from the garden that help with inflammation? I really do not want to get in the habit of taking NSAID & do real damage to my heart & organs.

Just a vent..

I was in the ER on Saturday for an anxiety attack that lasted over 3 hrs. I’ve been through a lot of counseling throughout my life & thou I have had anxiety all of my life..this was something different. None of my mind tricks worked, none of my tricks to get me out of my anxiety attack. Nothing was wrong, nothing to cause me massive anxiety (besides minor chest pain). I still felt like I was dying. i could not breath. I did get my diagnosis that day which I’m than for. I started feeling the same weird out of body feeling yesterda, like i couldn’t breath..nothing wrong, I know my chest pain isn’t my heart. I had to call my doctor to get a sedative for emergency use. I hate that. I really feel like this condition is messed with my breathing. it’s not mental.

Umbilical hernia & tietze..related?

After having a full on ER anxiety attack believing my heart was betraying me at age 31..I was quickly diagnosed with tietze. I had previously visited my family doctor who pretty much blew me off & gave me an X-ray to sooth me. Luckily the experienced ER cardiac doctor knew what was going on.

Now I’m searching for answers. I keep seeing posture plays a big part in this condition. I’ve had an umbilical hernia for about 7 year, untreated. one of the symptoms of umbilical hernia is bad posture. Anyone else with umbilical hernia also have tietze?
