Didn’t know this could happen

I am trying to improve my fitness, and did a workout that was accidentally too intense yesterday. I felt inflamed before going to sleep, then I simply woke up and stayed awake for much of the night. I also got a couple hives. I’m sure most of y’all were already familiar with this-but apparently in the case of muscle fiber micro-damage, the mast cells produce lots of histamine to recruit the immune system to come help repair the cells. I’ve never experienced this on such a visceral level before! Will definitely make sure my workouts don’t get to that level in the future.

Why does my VO2 max chart say it’s decided, while I’ve actively been getting fitter?

Could it be because of super hot summer weather? Would that make the HR take longer to recover? Like, exercising in 80° heat outside.

Does anyone else get the PMDD “confessions?”

I am such an oversharer. On day 1 of my period which is usually not my emotional best. Came down with a case of “the confessions” and shared too much with a coworker.

Does anybody prescribe benzos “as needed” anymore?

One psych (a few years ago) told me I’d have to take it daily and have positive drug tests monthly in order to qualify, that way she would know I was taking it and not selling it. Another told me (from a big clinic) that the whole clinic won’t prescribe it at all. Any hope for finding someone who will prescribe it?

For outpatient, what’s your best opening line?

(After introductions, dos you find the place okay, etc). Once you’re in the room. I think I triggered someone with “What would you most like to accomplish today?” But they did say they were having a bad day and had to leave early to get some important errands done. And they also weren’t confident in the reason their doctor sent them.

Did anyone else read (and was permanently radicalized) by this article by Waris Dirie in Marie Claire in 1997? On FGM.

*The most trigger warnings that one could ever trigger warn*

I still think about it regularly. I must have been 13 at the time and this article has been permanently engraved into my brain! I wish there was even more progress on FGM but her organization has done some really great work.

Autumn help

What drapes would you use to help figure out WHICH type of an autumn a friend is? I am suspecting true/warm autumn, so I’d need to rule out soft and deep.

Emergency- will this work?

On vacation, and due to carelessness, an in a HUGE flare of SIBO-C (bloating, gas, constipation, severe food intolerances, severe reflux). Started this today: PHGG a.m., Miralax PM, omeprazole p.m., alginate as needed, low-FODMAP, bland.

Anything else you would add? Need to have BMs, do better with eating, and get my reflux under control.

Hear me out: the movie “Passengers”

I recently rewatched this movie. It really struck me that Jim waking up Aurora is like parents bringing a child into the world to soothe their own existential dread. There is no consent provided, simply- you will be here to keep me company.….so that I won’t die alone.

Can’t tolerate stimulants

Long story short, I have GI reactions to stimulants. So far, I’ve found that on a really bad PMDD day- a bit of L-Tyrosine really helps! Wanted to leave this here in case anyone else is in the same position.

Show of hands- do you react to oranges?

I never thought I did, but today had a TINY amount of canned mandarin oranges, and had more skin itchiness. Just curious what others have noticed.

Extreme fish oil intolerance

Anyone else? I’ve tried lipase, teaspoon of oil in a smoothie, taking a frozen capsule, taking it at night. I just get indigestion every time, the fish burps aren’t even the problem, I just feel like my body can’t tolerate fish oil, like I’m harming my body. But I can’t eat fish cause too neurodivergent picky. Anything I haven’t thought of yet? I really do need it to supplement my diet.
