Chair selection help!!

Hello friends, first time poster to this sub, I found this one after trying to post to r/chronicpain and I would love to get some of y’all’s perspective.

I’ve realized it’s time. I’m still dealing with the mental battle but that’s not the reason for the post. Mods I hope this is alright to post being screenshots.

I’ve read some articles, a lot of opinions, and I think I have it narrowed down to Drive Medical Company, either the Blue Streak Lightweight or Silver Sport 1.

I’m looking for something lightweight that I could load myself, I like the large and small wheels vs just the 4 small, I intend on using it for zoo/museum etc ventures, the feet stands being removable doesn’t really matter. I’m trying to stay around $100 for my first chair but I don’t know what that means in this economy, if that’s still considered “Cheap” please help a girl out!

Does anyone one have any opinions, antidotes, suggestions???

Thank you!!

How can I know what Serotonin Syndrome feels like if I always feel like shite?

I know it sounds a little click baity but bear with me here.

I have EDS, Fibromyalgia, chronic SI pain, migraines, tendinitis and a slew of mental health disorders. I’m on 8 different medications.

I thought it would be *fun* to put the pain med, fibro med and antidepressant into the drug interactions website. Every which way there’s MAJOR INTERACTION labels stating combining them has a high likelihood of causing serotonin syndrome.

(For example, the pharmacist never told me to space out my norco, gaba and traz so for a good few months I was taking all 3 at once. Never had a drop in heart rate or problems breathing but now that I know I’m spooked and try to space them out over the course of the evening. The ones I ran through the interactions website were my morning rxs.)

I double checked what the symptoms would be for SS so I could try to keep an eye out and I realize most of the symptoms are things I experience almost every day.

Restlessness, insomnia, brain fog, twitchy muscles, headaches and tremors are just a (ebbing and flowing) part of my day to day at this point.

Obviously I’m not dead yet so that’s cool. But realistically how am I supposed to know if I increase a dose or move something around that I’m not gonna just up and die because I couldn’t read the signs?

How do I tell which edition this is?

I went to a garage sale today and got this for $1, we opened it once we got home and realized truly how cool of a find it was.

It has multiple publishing dates, how can I tell which edition this book is?

I hope that isn’t too silly of a question. Thanks!

Just a rant. I’ve been on modified 6 hour days since November and I had a big ole flair up a few weeks ago and I feel so defeated. Living in the country’s most expensive city sucks. Don’t get me wrong I love my hometown but fuckkkkkkkk I’m tried dude.
