Doctors say I don't qualify

Maybe they're right, but I don't know what else it could be. Not looking for a diagnosis, just wanna see if my experience is shared by anyone here.

I have chronic deep burning pain in my hips and legs, mainly the front of my thighs, but it goes all the way into my feet. It is 100% symmetrical and bilateral, is the worst at night when lying down, but also felt when sitting or standing still. It makes me move my legs constantly, but it's not because of tickling or "itching", I choose to move my legs as movement relieves the pain momentarily. But sometimes I get a weird feeling like someone is tickling the inside of my kneecaps.

However it doesn't wake me up at night, and it's just as bad in the morning when I do wake up. Most people doesn't seem to describe rls as very physically painful either, which this is, very painful.

I have no other diagnosis as nothing fits. Tests show nothing, physical therapy doesn't help.

Could this still be rls? I have no diagnosis and thus no treatment, I am desperate.

Thanks in advance!

Vi behöver Piratpartiet i riksdagen!

Just nu kanske vissa andra frågor är mer akuta, men i framtiden tror jag vi behöver Piratpartiet i riksdagen. Jag är väldigt besviken på samtliga partier när det kommer till frågor som rör internet, data, och övervakning. Nuvarande partier verkar inte ha en särskilt djup förståelse för dessa saker, och vi har fått en glimt av framtiden i hur de hanterat Chat Control. Även de partier och individer som är emot förslaget har inte gett det den vikt det kräver.

Jag gillar mycket av Piratpartiets politik (även om jag inte håller med i alla frågor), och trots att de kanske inte får min röst detta val, tror jag att vi i framtiden behöver dem i riksdagen.

Hur känner ni? Är ni nöjda med hur andra partier hanterar frågor om nätet, data, övervakning, etc? Känner ni som jag att dessa frågor är väldigt viktiga inför framtiden, eller tycker ni jag oroar mig i onödan?

Trevlig vecka!

[Sun Care] Spf NEVER dries! What's wrong with my face?

I have oily skin and am having an issue with spf. I've tried several of the spfs recommended for oily skin, Eucerin oil control, HaruHary airyfit (yellow), Frezyderm, LRP anthelios etc. but they like never dry down and form the correct finish. They stay tacky and very shiny. ​

I've tried every method of skin prep underneath, from nothing to just washing to hydration to anti-oil products. It doesn't matter how much or how little spf I apply, how long I wait, even blowing my face with cold air from my hairdryer doesn't help. ​

I got the HaruHaru because it's supposed to be a bit matte and dry to a velvet finish but on me it never dries at all, it looks like a regular moisturizer. Same with the Eucerin. The Frezyderm just stayed a weird greasy layer that I could move around with my fingers. The LRP was better but still didn't really dry and looked so shiny. ​

Even if my face is dry and free from oil when I apply them it's like the drying down mechanism just doesn't work. What is wrong with my face? Please help! I just want an spf that doesn't make me look like I rubbed oil all over my face. ​

Thanks!

Why is being sensitive so bad?

I've been told my entire life that I'm "too sensitive". Usually it's said in a way like they're trying to help me, like "if you care that much about everything you'll never be happy", or "that's just how it is, stop overreacting". Yes bad things happen and it won't stop me from being happy, but if I hear something particulary awful or sad, why can't I express that and shed a couple of tears before I move on? It makes me sad and sometimes cry a little when I think about people suffering in wars, animals suffering in factory farms, species going extinct, etc. I can deal with it, I know I can't personally change it, but why is it so wrong to get emotional over it?

It's funny because at the same time people always say "you're so nice", "you're a sweet person", "you're so empathetic", and they like these things about me. So I'm supposed to care and empathise when it comes to you personally but be cold and stoic about people being bombed?

Being sensitive doesn't make me weak, I can get emotional about suffering in the world and still carry on with life. So sick of hearing this my entire life.
