Fever chills headache cough

The longest I have gone so far is 70 days about a year and a half ago. Occasionally get a 40 something and then several normal length cycles . I have been experiencing more anxiety than usual, but today it all of a sudden is intense. Heart pounding and nauseous. Lump in my throat. Chills but not like when you have a fever. Trying to take deep breaths. I’ve been taking Wellbutrin but wondering if it’s adding to my anxiety. Anyone relate? I am overdue for a doctor appointment and need to find a new one. This is terrible.

so I started a few weeks ago and was instructed to take half dose for a week and up to full dose if no symptoms. I had a bit of dizziness the first couple days but it went away so I decided to up the dose to full after that week. the next day I had extreme dizziness, fever with chills, nausea in my throat, muscle soreness, and major headache. my doctor told me to stop until symptoms go away, then try again on half. so I waited like 2 days (symptoms literally went away in 24 hours though it was SO BAD I literally had felt like I had aged 70 years) and restarted the half dose a night routine. well, it's been over a week on half and last night about 4 hours after my regular half dose I woke up with fever and chills, muscle soreness, only a slight headache, and major nausea in my throat again! I'm so sick of this and I think I will be stopping. just was wondering if anyone else has this? this nausea is so weird, it's like a lump in my throat and when I move I get nausea and when I swallow I get nausea but it's like not stomach nausea at all. plus the muscle soreness and headache, probably will be hobbling around my house like last time :(

Hi there
Due some persistent cough we brought our 20 months old daughter to her pediatrician.
After visiting her she said she had a light red color inside her right ear.
She told us to give her ibuprofen siroup.
I am wondering: why not antibiotics? Isn't this an infection?
Aren't we dealing it?
She shows no pain and she has no fever btw.

Age: 26 months Height: 34” Weight: 37 lbs Duration: 3 days
My daughter was diagnosed with strep yesterday and prescribed amoxicillin. She has had a low fever, sore throat, runny nose, cough and poor sleep the last few days.
The problem is that it is nearly impossible to get her to take medicine - it is actually impressive how well she manages to spit it out. I know complications can be severe with strep so I am stressing about how I can get the medicine in her; however, when I google it I have read that kids under 3 rarely need to be treated for strep. So my question: if I am not able to get her to take this medicine, will she likely clear the infection on her own? Or is it just as important to treat with antibiotics as it would be in an older child or adult?

Editing because I can’t fix title: episodes that mimic Hypoglycemic episodes but sugar levels are normal—what questions can I ask?
I’m 23F, AFAB I have atypical Cystic Fibrosis, I’m pancreatic sufficient, and no CFRD. for the past 2-3 years I’ve been having episodes that seem to mimic postprandial hypoglycemia but my levels are always above 70. I’ve had a few fasting readings that are 67-69 but I don’t have any symptoms then. The symptoms start within an hour or so of eating and my levels will be 70-80 but get to 100ish 3-4 hours after eating, which does make me nervous that something insulin related is going on. My blood pressure is normal but tends to be on the low side as well.
The episodes mostly correspond with the 7-12 days before my period but it’s not uncommon for them to happen outside of that range. The symptoms are: - high heart rate (130-150) even if at rest (resting heart rate when I’m not having an episode is 60-70 range - shaking - sweating - confusion (including slurring/stammering and switching words around) - weird tingly rising feeling inside - mouth tastes like sand/ash regardless of food or drink - pallor - certain edges blur in my vision; like where the walls meet the ceiling or floors - more frequent urination with lower output - chills
There are a few things that don’t happen every time I have an episode but have happened more than once: - Pain behind eyes - intense headache that disappears quickly
I’ve tried adjusting my diet in every way I can think of (and GI and nutrition have suggested) and nothing really seems to have an impact. Drinking sugar during/after an episode does help a bit but not by much.
My CF team seems to kind of be at a loss. All of my bloodwork is normal, weight and PFTs are fine. They’re sending me to a gynecologist because of how the episodes tend to correspond with my period. I am also seeing my PCP to get my heart checked soon.
Meds: Bupropion 450 (had been on this for about 2 years before any of these symptoms started) Levalbuterol (10+ years) Trikafta (3 years ish) Mirena iud, placed fall 2019
Vitamins Women’s one a day 2000 iu d3
Other diagnoses: PTSD/CPTSD (incest/rape trauma related, not sure how relevant that it is but I’m trying to be more detailed than not ) Major depression General anxiety Insomnia (PTSD related)
Psych meds I’ve tried a while ago but didn’t help: - Zoloft (brain fog was way worse) - lexapro (would not stay in my system, to put it politely) - latuda (didn’t do anything)
I edited my post on cysticfibrosis after someone recommended I post here,so this part isn’t over there but —one of the things that’s getting truly untenable for me is brain fog/confusion. Since fall 2020 I’ve struggled a lot with brain fog and since it started with PTSD related events my doctors and I have been assuming it to be a mental health thing but I’m not that sure anymore.
The confusion is definitely worse during the episodes I described (and affects stuff like where I walk around and what I put down where, for example, putting my phone in a fridge or not being able to find my car) But day to day—I’m forgetting words and sentences almost immediately after thinking them. My mental health has improved a lot on Wellbutrin but I can’t tell if it’s improved the brain fog at all or just improved the other symptoms like low energy and the can’t get out of bed heaviness.
My major involves a lot of writing and the same assignments that would take me a few several hour sessions, if that, I haven’t been able to complete. I’ve spent 12 hours on essays (with only meal breaks and things like that) with about a paragraph to show for it — but what I can get out never quite matches what I’m thinking. I almost constantly have the feeling of having a word on the tip of my tongue, especially when trying to write. The things I think of seem to float away before I can keep them in my head long enough to write them down. I was supposed to graduate 3 years ago and I’ve been one full time semester’s worth of classes for these past three years because I just can’t get it done. The majority of my depression symptoms that remain have to do with the stress and feelings behind not having finished school despite being so close. On the whole though, my mental health is in the best place it’s been in pretty much my entire life And the other symptoms have improved drastically.
Last note on the day to day brain fog/confusion: I don’t switch words around when I’m not having an episode—but I have been noticing that 0-5 times a day (I can’t say for sure that it happens daily without fail but it definitely happens several times a week) that I do slur sometimes when talking? The beginnings and ends of words will just sort of smush together . This is a relatively recent development (in the last 8 months maybe?) don’t know if that’s normal person stuttering kind of thing but combined with the writing stuff it irks me more than it normally would)
I feel like a lot of these symptoms could be literally anything so I don’t know how to go about narrowing it down.
I have a check up appointment soon and I wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions for other questions or specific testing requests that I can ask my doctors for to help figure this out.
Thank you!

I grew up physically and emotionally abused by my parents, in particular, my dad. I should preface this by saying my dad was stressed from working night shifts in the factory. And his parents didn’t like myself or my mom (dad married my mom who is a different Asian race) and growing up in Australia I never spoke my grandparents native language or either of my parents’ languages - mainly English, hence the disapproval. So it’s safe to say my dad was quite stressed at this time.
When I was 7 years of age, I had problems sleeping and my dad used to work night shifts. When I couldn’t sleep I would go to my parents room and tell them I couldn’t sleep. This was always followed by: “go to sleep, just lay there and you will sleep”, which I would try and follow, but after several hours of laying in bed, I would go back to my parents room to tell them I couldn’t sleep, for some reason I always felt very anxious when I couldn’t sleep as a kid. When I went back to their room it as always horrible for me ….
trigger warning*
My dad would then beat me really bad. He would hit me across the face to the point where I would go to school with a large bruise on my face. It was always hitting and punching my head or my arms (from trying to block my face). There were days I couldn’t move my arm because when I tried to block his strike, my arm would take the hit and it would be so painful. He would break down my door to get into my room after I would run into it to escape his beating. He would tape my arms and legs so that I couldn’t defend myself, and would spit on me and kick my stomach while I was taped and on the floor. He would strangle me so hard I begged him to stop multiple times. He would lock me out of the house in the middle of the night and tell me I can scream all I want, and that even if the police came, they wouldn’t be able to help me because going into foster care would be worse than what I was experiencing. I was so messed up. My mom would try to help me but eventually gave up because of dad’s force. He has never beaten my mom or my brother, just me. I was also emotionally abused if I forgot something when we were out shopping in the mall - if I spoke out of line and told him to lower his voice he would yell even louder and call me stupid. This is just the surface of what I went through…and it went on for about 8-9 years. Not everyday but most days. Their excuse was that my dad was the sole income earner, he was stressed and he was earning money to provide me with an education and better life. This is their way of showing “love”. My mom constantly reminds me that his actions were in the past and I should be appreciative of his care.
In my 20s, I had developed severe depression and anxiety and had to seek help from medical professionals to stop suicidal tendencies. Since gaining financial independence and moving away from them, it has helped my relationship with them and we are now cordial.
Fast forward and I’m now 34, happily married to a Caucasian and have a 3 year old together. Both my husband and I work full time and can only afford to place my daughter in childcare 4 days per week. One day per week we ask my parents to help us look after her while we work. They don’t like my husband, they judge my marriage and the way I parent my child. They constantly tell me that “white men” are no good and that my husband can’t offer me security. I do see they love my daughter but it feels like it is a huge burden for them to look after her. They claim they love taking care of her but then they say they have busy lives and don’t have time for themselves when they look after her. They constantly complain on the day they look after her.
Recently my daughter has been unwell with croup. We have taken her to 4 different doctors and they have all advised us to give neurofen or Panadol for discomfort and fevers. When my dad asked me what medication I give her, he said “don’t you know neurofen fu%ing causes coughing?” And I said that’s what the doctors advised and that there’s no evidence to his claim. I asked if he knew more than the doctor and he told me to “get out of my fu%ing sight”. Additionally my daughter vomitted on their carpet from being so sick, it was sudden and there was nothing anyone could have done to prevent her from vomitting on their carpet. May I remind you she’s only 3. My parents were more concerned about the carpet than my daughter!
My question is… is this normal? I feel like I have reached my limit and want to cut out the toxicity and cut ties. My daughter loves them both but I just feel it is so unhealthy being around them. Thoughts??
**I have tried talking to them about it without any success.

35 (m) who has been smoking cigarettes from the age of 14 - 31 (on and off) who then transitioned to flum vaping. Saw a significant improvement in my cardio and overall health. The coughing, mucus, and trouble breathing disappeared. Now i have finally made the decision to remove vaping entirely and try Zyn pouches which I know is healthier for my cardio and lungs. I immediately got really sick with a slight fever and constant coughing which i'm hoping goes away in a week or so.
I don't see any posts about people switching from vaping to zyn and i was wondering if anyone has seen any noticeable improvements in their health?

So I've been perusing pots and dysautonomia and it seems many people say their symptoms improve later in the day. For some reason it's opposite for me. Granted, I don't feel amazing when I get up, but usually chugging a bunch of water when I first get up helps. I've just found that later in the day I feel almost like I'm getting a cold. A few times I've thought I actually was, but when I wake up the next day I'm fine. Weirdly I'm usually not that lightheaded. Instead I get chills, muscle/joint aches, headaches and nausea. I also have fibro, but I've had fibro for 15 years now and that's not how I usually experience fibro symptoms. If I take my temp, I often have a low-grade fever.
I'm usually pretty good with my water intake throughout the day. I also try to keep up with my electrolytes. I have Liquid IV when I get up and when I start to feel off I take salt tablets. Maybe I need to be more scheduled with my salt tablets later in the day?
Anyway, I'm just curious if others have had this experience. I'm still new to this POTS thing. I started having symptoms in 2021.

Hey everyone, I recently visited Perth/Fremantle and of course did a day at Rottnest Island. I didn't feed or touch any quokkas but I did get close enough to snap a couple selfies and I did sit on the ground and sat in areas where they were running around. I am aware that quokkas carry salmonella but I'm wondering has anyone actually caught salmonella from a quokka? How common/likely is this? I like to think my hand hygiene is pretty good since I work in healthcare but the following day, I woke up with intense stomach pain, diarrhea and vomiting and a bit of fevechills. My husband, who was on this trip with me and ate almost everything the same as me with the exception of 2 things, was fine. He took lots of photos of quokkas too but probably wasn't laying on the ground like me. The 2 things I ate that he didn't include: a variation of a meat pie from the bakery on Rottnest Island and a dessert from a fancy restaurant in Fremantle that was chocolate mousse with a sort of jam compote on top. I include this detail because where we live now there was an incident many years ago at a fair where one of the foods served had a jam product filled with staph bacteria that made dozens of people sick. The timing of it all makes me think it could be the dessert I ate that night after our rotto trip but how common or easy is it to get salmonella or any other sickness from a quokka? I can't seem to find anyone who has openly said they got sick from them. Thank you!

Quick question. Might sound dumb, but stay with me.
If i have a pt that presented with cough on day 1, fever and fatigue on day 3, and then the PI diagnosed them with an URI on day 5, do I list all symptoms before the URI was diagnosed as AEs or do I just list the URI?
Just humor me. I’m going back and forth with someone on this and I want other opinions 😂

husband said “no” when i asked for help
i want to cuss. i’ve had a fever and full body aches and chills for two days now due to mastitis, my doctor hasn’t sent in my antibiotics yet and might need me to come in person to prescribe them. i’ve been up all night for the past two days with prickly, achy bones/skin and night sweats. if i wear pjs to bed- im sweating my balls off, if i wear underwear to bed-im shivering and achy. i co sleep with baby and she is a space heater. so then i’m achy and shivering AND sweating. my mom was able to come help yesterday morning. i had woken up my husband 5 mins before his 7:45 work alarm and asked him to hold baby so i could get at least a half hour-hour of sleep. he works from home and baby was recently fed, changed and asleep. he took forever getting out of bed, had her for 10 mins then woke me up in a rush and gave me back the sleeping(!!!) baby bc he had to do a virtual meeting (with his camera off). i took her and sat and cried. my mom was able to drive over an hour later and helped me so i could get two hours of sleep.
THIS MORNING i have been up all night taking on and off blankets, taking tylenol, feeding, changing, shivering and aching. my husband stayed up until 12:30am playing video games. i woke him up at 4:45 and asked if he could get up at 5:30am to hold the baby so i can sleep. he straight up said no and rolled back over. i asked him to repeat himself. he said “no i need to sleep, i have work” (he makes his own hours and works from home) i told him that i am in pain, ive been up all night with baby, why won’t you help me. you’re her dad. he said “sorry,no” and rolled over again. i’m so mad i could spit. all i want is sleep. he could’ve held the sleeping baby while playing video games last night and then i could’ve slept, he could go to work later in the day so i can sleep. he told me “you get to catch up on sleep whenever you want during the day, i can’t” hypothetically, if my husband helped hold the baby during the day, or if she’d sleep in her bassinet, yes. i could. but none of those are true. i hate this situation and im pissed. thanks for letting me rant.
tldr: my husband is an asshole and i’m exhausted.
there. i cussed.

Hi all, 23f here
This is kind of long but please read it all if you would like to offer your insights
On April 26th I hooked up with a guy after a party. Vibes were right, he was very nice. We talked beforehand and made sure we were both clean. We had protected intercourse and unprotected oral (both ways)
I developed a yeast infection about a week and a half later. Not a big problem. I went to a sexual health clinic on 5/9 for it and the doctor diagnosed me with herpes as well due to swollen lymph nodes at the groin. I think it’s a reach, the ones by my neck were even more swollen and who knows it could’ve been my body fighting off the yeast infection or another STD. I was prescribed topical cream for the yeast and something called Valaciclovir for the possible herpes. The swollen lymph noses on my neck lasted for about 2 days.
I have not had any sores or anything like that. No headache or sensitivity to light. For about 2 nights in a row around 5/11 I had a SLIGHTLY elevated body temperature (can’t be called a fever) for about 30-60 minutes only. That was it. Then after that, a day where I felt fatigued. Then after that, my left tonsil was inflamed all the way down to my chest, but it didn’t hurt much. I talked with my one night stand and he said he was being treated for tonsillitis so I thought, maybe all these symptoms are just tonsillitis?
Nope, no tonsillitis. I woke up with a swollen left tonsil, spent the day with it, and by the time I was ready for bed all the symptoms were gone. And the weird part is , it didn’t hurt to swallow, eat, or drink whatsoever. It only hurt when I moved, such as looking up or down.
I haven’t really felt anything since. I developed oral thrush in my mouth from the yeast infection in my body, so maybe that caused the swollen tonsil? But when I checked my mouth that day, my tonsils looked normal. I’ve been dehydrated for a couple days now due to the oral thrush. That’s it
I also discussed this with the guy and based on past STD test results I can rule out the following: HIV, Syphilis, Gonorrhea. HIV is 0% chance
Could be herpes or mono. Or nothing. I can’t get tested until 3 months when all my (hypothetical) antibodies will be ready. Insights and advice welcome but please be nice. Questions welcome

Overnight laat night I felt a sore throat come on and then that's when the random onset symptoms hit me at once which are stuffy nose, congestion, cough, sore throat, chills, body aches, fatigue, headache but no fever.
Also when I blow my nose my snot us yellow.

My 18 year old daughter had a round of antibiotics to prevent a non existing infection after having her wisdom teeth out. A few weeks later the whole family got sick with a bad cold (runny noses, sneezing, cough, laryngitis). She ended up being the worse out of all of us: fever for several days throwing up, horrible constant cough, sore throat, crying, chills, ear pressure, and generally feeling horrible. Covid test negative. Urgent clinic looked at her ears and saw evidence of the pressure, said probably secondary infection. (I wonder if she got this when the rest of us didn’t because of her recently impaired microbiome from the antibiotics?) Anyway, the urgent care dr gave her amoxicillin. She took the first pill last night. This morning she seems to be doing better and fever broke. I’m thinking it happened on its own, not from the one pill. Does she really need to take the rest of the amoxicillin pills? Or can she save the attack on her microbiome and just not take the remaining pills?

I've just ended a 3 year relationship almost two weeks ago. We have communicated but I've been holding strong to my stance that we are just not right for each other. I do believe it was toxic, but I do not think separated we are toxic people. Just tried too hard to make something work that didn't, and in that, we created a toxic environment.
That being said, I've struggled. With the loss of my friend, lover, and companion. I knew it was time when I saw a photo of us and I looked so sickly. Like my soul said, if you won't listen to our signs, then we will affect your body, and so I left him. I swear my body is detoxing. I felt so damn heavy but could not let it go. I couldn't release the negative that I knew I was holding. Then I woke up sick. Head, cold weird thing going on. It's been brutal, but it feels like a detox. I can't explain it, but it's like my energy is restoring as my body rejects what was there. Tons of drainage, coughing, headaches, and minor fever but no signs of actual infection. I know this might sound crazy but I swear it's true. My mind is clearing. My energy is taking out the garbage.
Am I crazy? Has anyone experienced this?

I have been facing anxiety issues since I was 12-13 years old. I did develop physical symptoms like psychogenic cough (coughing before the actual event), brain fog (headache), stomach nervousness etc.
Now, 14 years later, I am on medication for anxiety. However, if I get a normal headache or upset stomach (due to food poisoning etc.), I start associating it with my anxiety. As a result, even if I am not anxious, I start feeling anxious!
How can one get rid of the physical symptoms?

I had a nasty cough around late FEB. It persisted for about six days. Lots of discharge. Seemed reminiscent of acute bronchitis (that I get once a year, in general). The residuals lasted a few weeks after (coughing with no production) which leads me to think it was pneumonia. Maybe.
Fast forward to the beginning of May and the nasty cough re-surfaced. Greatly elevated levels of discharge and fever the first couple of nights. Bad to the point of getting zero sleep over the first few days. Mid-week, I went in for an X-Ray and the docs said it might be TB which I have since learned is quite prevalent in this country. Did a follow-up CT scan a couple of days later and after the analysis came back, they said it could be either TB or pnuemonia.
The symptoms seem to have dimnished insofar as discharge is minimal (a few times a day, very light in color, practically clea sometimes bubbly) and I sleep more or less without issue. I took a week of broad-spectrum antibiotics after the effects were already diminshing (as directed). My wife now has a dry cough with nasal congestion, something I read is common for female TB-afflicted - this is after enjoying similar symptoms as desrcibed above.
I tried to track the "symptom progression stages" on google but had little luck outiside of "since the early 1700s" etc. For my part, I have not experienced loss of weight, appetite, or any more fevers or night-sweats (the latter in general being somewhat difficult to gauge as I've always been a fan of "sweat it out" - wearing a hoodie and winter pajamas under layers of blankets to nuke my body). I now sleep in my underwear without any current feve night sweat issues.
I'm a 38yr old human male, 173cm, 68kg. 10% body fat. Avid gym-goer (3-5 times a week). 95%+ of my food is healthy home-cooked stuff. I in general don't take any medicine for anything. Very much an "of my own flesh and will" kind of person. Also a veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan with 2nd Ranger Battalion (exposed to burn barrels in '06 and millenia-old corpse/ fecal dust in Afghani sandstorms in '13). I've had a chronic light cough since...'13, though the VA docs have checked me and given me the all-clear numerous times since then. My wife, by comparison, takes ALL the meds in every circumstance.
When I DO get sick, it's 7 times out of 10 a lung-issue. Oh! When I was a baby I didn't get no tiddy milk. My wife (Russian) says that's why my immune system is shit. I tell her that tiddy milk laden with crack and meth wouldn't have done me any favors anyhow.

TLDR: a bunch of medical tests were bad, a dietician explained how stress affects the gut in a way that clicked. Now my subconscious impulse to eat, sleep, and workout perfectly has flipped to make me relax instantly. I’m not doing anything on purpose, the anxiety is just gone.
I’ve been getting tests done for about a year. I’m prediabetic, have hypertension, high cholesterol, high wbc count, digestive issues, migraines out of nowhere, recurring sinus issues, and a cough that lasted months, possibly asthmatic suddenly.
Blood tests, stool samples, lung function tests, ekgs. Everything was suspiciously bad. I’ve been meticulous with my diet and exercise for like 15 years and I’m only 32, none of this made sense.
Finally saw a dietician I was referred to for the gut issues. She explained exactly what happens to the gut when stress is high, and it’s exactly what I’ve been dealing with. Turns out, stress can also mess up your bloodwork. It’s like I finally saw the damage stress was doing to my body.
Now it’s like my subconscious response to anxiety is to immediately chill out. The same subconscious impulse that had me checking ingredients of foods I eat to make sure it was all healthy was now just focused on keeping stress low.
Bad food, sleep, and skipped work outs were no longer the enemy, it’s just stress.
It’s been a few months since then, ive somehow kept my stress levels at zero. Even in panic inducing situations, the panic symptoms flare up and are immediately met with a relaxation response. I’m like always one deep breath away from baseline.
All of my issues are gone. My bloodwork has returned to normal. Blood sugar, cholesterol, lung function, ekg follow ups. ALL NORMAL.
I was on 2 daily inhalers and they were considering blood pressure meds.
Lung function is excellent. Fasting blood sugar dropped from 110 to 80. WBC returned to normal. Bowel movements normalized. BP was always 150/90, now is 120/75.
All this worrying about symptoms being serious created serious issues. I’m actually shocked by this, it’s changed my entire view of mind/body and western medicine.

so just a lil ranty rant thing about some crap I need to do tomorrow So you know how we all like to prepare in advance for like a schedule change? and like we totally fucking DREAD it but at least at the end of the day you get to go home and chill so realistically it'll be fine.
Yeah fuck tomorrow. I work in a preschool and tomorrow the lead teacher will be out because of a doctor's appointment, she wont be back, she'll be gone all day. Cool. Fine. Not really a big deal. It happens. I have to lead circle time.
if you havent been a preschooler recently that means I have to hold the attention span of about 8 kids between 3 and 5 with autism and adhd sitting in a circle for about 15 minutes straight. I have to do that twice, so 30 minutes in total. ugh. It's part of my job now, I need to be able to do this for the lead teacher, but. Man I hate being the center of attention and I have to improvise on the fly and I just dont have the experience to lean on like the lead does. She makes it look effortless. It is NOT effortless. She's got more years of experience doing this than I've been ALIVE and I'm NOT EVEN JOKING. She's been doing this for over 20 years. I'm 20. And like it's totally gonna be a thing where it's not actually that bad after I do it for the first time but I'm just ~anxious~ because I have an ~anxiety disorder~.
I dont have to do it for the second class but I will essentially be leading the classroom for a good chunk of the day during groups and snack time because the person who would usually take that position will take on most of the modified schedule of one of our kids with higher needs. Thats cool. That's fine. It'll be a bit of a headache and Im fully prepared to be screamed at by disgruntled kids. But it's whatever realistically.
But then I dont even get to go home. It's my mothers 40th, I am not allowed to miss her becoming an Old Lady. See all 3 of my older stepsisters are coming from across the country and this will probably be our last whole family gathering in which someone's not either dead or giving birth so obvi I HAVE to be there.
But then thats not even it. Because tomorrow afternoon for dinner is the ONLY time during their trip here that we'll all be at HOME together. Why does that matter? my partner hasn't met the family. He's coming to meet my 3 sisters, 1 brother, my mother, my father, and a plethora of my parents work friends. And he's also autistic, he's gonna need me to support him a bit. He's not the same kind of autistic as me, he's super monotone, he's crap at reading social situations- he's not rude, he's just autistic- and somebody's going to have to shut down my oldest sister (who is married to an autistic man who leans much more heavily adhd and trauma than he does autistic) trying to give me unsolicited advice about "how to compromise with an autistic man" She doesn't seem to get that....her husband isn't the way he is in their relationship JUST because he's autistic. Thats part of it. But its not EVERYTHING. it's that they really suck at communicating. I've watched them try to make really simple decisions and they just don't have the same needs and communication styles. Me and my partner dont have that problem, because our needs and styles match up really well.
And I knowww she's just trying to find common ground with me because we have like none and we dont talk a lot but cmon I dont want to listen to your "what I can teach you about dating an autistic man" rants save it for tiktok I love my man and dont need to hear about how hard it is being with yours and I really hope she doesn't say any of that crap in front of his face I am not gonna be in the headspace to deal with that.
and its just all piled up on the same day and mhhhahhhhhhhhhh I'mso over it already :(
Mahhhhhhhhhhh How do yall cope with your shitty surprise "hahah! all of your extra draining stuff is piled up on the same day!" days?

I am 25F I take gabapentin, Lunesta, and dextroamphetamine from my doctor. I occasionally smoke weed and drink I do, however, have a really bad vaping addiction and occasionally use Xanax to. I take a multivitamin every day, magnesium vitamin A vitamin B12 vitamin C. Over the last 4 to 5 months my health just hasn’t felt exactly right. I have passed out at work and they gave me a heart monitor. It’s been three months and haven’t got results. I also have gotten so much blood work done and they always say my results are great. I haven’t had a period in 3 months. I do not take birth control. I did take birth control for a week. I wonder if it could’ve really messed my system up that much. Shakiness, waking up with numb hands, white coated tongue, low energy. All of these symptoms aren’t constant. They come and go. Im just getting over being sick I had a fever, and sore throat, no cough, and extreme tiredness, I brushed my teeth and was trying to get all the flem out and this is what came out. I kind of dissected it just to see what the red looks like in there. It does look a little bloody, is it normal for phlegm to be that big and look like that? https://ibb.co/Jcvq4RW https://ibb.co/nby9737 https://ibb.co/6RK8kBn
