I’m trying to get some bulk ones for cheap that have a lot of electrolytes in them (not just 200 mg sodium) I keep finding some variety packs but generally they include an orange flavor, which I don’t like, or they are expensive.
have you tried making them homemade and if so do you have a good cheap recipe for it?
I’m trying to find the best diet that can support my joints as well as enough sodium to not make me feel dizzy.
I’ve also been taking iron and vitamin D supplements because i am deficient in those as well.
i have a lot of GI issues regarding GERD and suspected IBS-D/ motility issues. I’m so sick of nausea, diarrhea, gas, etc.
I just wish I could find the right Diet to help deal with and lessen all of these issues but it’s so hard.
Finally got prescribed some zofran for my nausea issues. Got put on cymbalta for my chronic joint and muscle pain. I really hope it works, because the amount of pain I've been in has been really, really bad. So bad I have cried a few times. It runs in the background of everything I do.
I am really proud of myself for advocating for myself and being honest with my doctor that I am in a lot of pain and that NSAIDS have not been working at all for it. I really hope I can start PT for my hypermobile joints again and that the combination of the two will help me be in less pain.
I have a variety of issues (dizziness, hypermobile, fatigue, rashes, GI issues) that for some reason have only gotten worse in my mid-20s. I remember how I was when I was younger- Always trying to clock into work early, lift and put away heavy things, not be in pain ect. Now I feel sluggish, with brain fog, pain, weakness. I can barely get through work like I used to. I need to nap after 4 hrs of work. I am too tired to see my friends. Sometimes I worry if I'll ever get back to the girl I was. I still have the willingness and eagerness to work like that and create more, but now I have a body that refuses to cooperate.
I hate it, and I'm mourning a bit of who I was. I feel so trapped in this body and it makes me so sad. It makes me worry if I will ever achieve my dreams. I wish it wasn't like this.
I struggle to communicate often and I will often be silent or shut down. I am trying to work on it. I am trying to ask for help more often too.
however I’ve also been told I don’t take initiative at work. this is hard for me because I often do not know what else to do at work and people expect me to know and do things without being explicitly told to do it.
i struggle between wanting to ask for help and clear communication vs the expectation to do things without being asked.
i want to get better at this, its just hard because i really require specific directions and people seem to not want to give me that.
i struggle to make sense of both the idea that i should communicate better yet people saying that i should do things without great communication to me.
