Hey all!
After ~3 years of no progress, I fully recovered in about eight weeks. 97% of the symptoms are gone, including PEM, fatigue, MCAS reactions, and feeling sick most of the time. I’m back to working 9-10h a day with superb cognitive output, training as hard as I can (i.e., 30min peloton 168 bpm, >10k steps a day, lots of bodyweight work during the day), and being truly myself. Gosh, I’m feeling fucking blessed. Like I was asleep for 3y and finally woke up. I have SO MUCH energy. Started a new project, got back to writing essays, hanging out with friends, etc. I’m fucking alive again!
Case summary:
Got a very mild Covid in the beginning of July 2021; didn’t even have fever but felt exhausted (i.e., struggled getting out of bed in the morning) and lost smell and taste; recovered in ~10 days; senses returned in ~2-3 weeks.
Developed neuro issues (cognitive PEM, difficulty thinking) and fatigue during acute covid, literally next day after exposure, and they never went away; this was my first long covid symptom.
Then kept developing more & more symptoms:

• food sensitivities in Aug-Sep 2021
• chronic recurrent sinusitis in Sep 2021
• dysautonomia and POTS in 2022
• stomach (H Pylori), gut, and joints issues in summer 2023
• more sensitivities (cold, heat, pill coating) in summer 2023
• neuropathies, more severe joints issues in late 2023/2024
• recurring viral infections (reactivation?) in May, Sep, Dec 2023, Mar 2024

My major sX on March 2024 were:

1. feeling and being sick most days (fatigue/ugh state, brain fog, reddish cheeks, sinus and ear Sx, sometimes cold sores)
   1. frequent (every month) sinus infections (very thick yellow mucus, severe cognitive dysfunction, sinus and ear Sx: pressure, congestion, postnasal drip, hot ears in the evening)
   2. persistent brain fog/cognitive dysfunction: working and long-term memory issues, slow info processing, word recall troubles, not feeling like myself/depersonalization, etc.
2. mental and physical PEM
3. MCAS: allergy-like reactions to foods (esp high-histamine), cold, pressure, exercise, certain antibiotics (augmentin), tablet coating, etc.
   
4. dysautonomia and POTS
   
5. gut issues: bloating, upset, abdominal pain (esp right lower quadrant; even tested for appendicitis via bloods + CT + ultrasound)
   
6. joints issues: pain and swelling in both feet metatarsals (bursitis)
   
7. misc:
   
   1. pain, weakness, and discomfort in 4th and 5th left hand fingers
   2. right eye issues: sometimes enlarged pupil (only in right eye), pain above right eye if I roll my eyes up, looking at bright objects leaves a lasting mark in the visual field (but does not in the left eye)

Summary of what I believe healed me:

1. lots of sunlight: sunrise, midday, sunset; as much time as possible under the sun (see below for the pic how I’m typing these words!) >> this cleared up sinus, ear, and GI infections + improved energy and mood
2. cold exposure: 3 min cold showers + morning and evening ~20min naked torso outside at ~5-9 degrees celsius; plus temp variability: hanging out naked torso outside as much as possible to retrain that vasculature and aerate the body >> this reduced stress, removed fatigue, and brought my energy back
3. spending most of my time outdoors, in nature (parks, forest, meadows, lakes, etc.): hanging out amongst animals, birds, etc. >> this further reduced stress to basically zero and brought back a sense of joy and serenity
4. nervous system retraining via specific types of movement and aromatherapy: balance, dancing, climbing, boxing moves, fencing, crawling + smelling flowers, trees, essential oils, herbs >> this brought back trust in my body and a sense of balance & peace
5. very clean, vegan, autophagy-optimized diet + eggs (i.e., no sugar, UPFs of any kind, all organic, mostly fresh/little cooked; lots of spermidine via sprouted rye, wheat; other autophagy boosting foods), with ~3 small meals a day and 20-40% caloric restriction >> this took away gut issues, reduced joint inflammation, and opened up my sinuses after years of congestion
6. lots of movement throughout the day and gradual return to more intense exercise: started from short and very light and low intensity bodyweight workout (10 mins; one set of squats, pushups, abs, etc.) and built up from that; z1 cardio 105 bpm walking with ~5kg backpack; then z2 peloton 15>20>30 mins; then more intense strength workouts with dumbbells + LOTS of movement throughout the day, every 20-30 mins, never still >> this also greatly improved energy, although I did get PEM first (in March-April) after more-or-less intense 40 min strength training with dumbbells, but then it went away; that lady from huberman pod (see below) had a brilliant point of how each type of exercise (walking, strength, endurance, HIIT, zone 2) positively affects mitochondria in different ways, “muscle contraction is medicine”
7. weirdly, 100% dark chocolate, 20-50g daily. It’s a strong autophagy inducer and boasts with antioxidants + boosts brain function and mood. >> I felt substantially better right after I started eating it, and never stopped.

Supplements and drugs I took: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_oA0CONWDlPg7eEABA6tIo9Np5sfVy_iC497JrZDeoY/edit#gid=0
All they did was reduce brain fog + reactions to foods, but those sx immediately returned when I tried stopping the supps in Feb.
I think the main problem was mitochondrial dysfunction because all those things I did address it in various ways. Huberman released a great pod on it last week (https://youtu.be/8qaBpM73NSk?si=cDdTBiOzKk86wkQn) + check out Jack Kruse stuff for more info
Sending you all good energy. Stay strong. You can beat it.

Traitors of Rath
Post Lord Daug's Disappearance
Lord Daug had vanished, reports indicating he may have been lost in battle with enemy forces that he had been hunting through the wilds. Jeremy snorted at that, served the fat bastard right, the rathians may hold the noble in high regard, probably brainwashed by something in the water on that damned planet they loved so much, but Jeremy wasn't from Rath and by the emperors sitting ass he knew better than to trust in a noble. Which had made what he and the guys were planning a lot easier to stomach.
He nodded at Nel as the man spooned him some gruel into his bowl, a mix of ration packs and of some kinda local plant the rats had said was good to eat. That was another thing! What kind of self-respecting man trusted those THINGS? Every single rath born trooper treated them like they were little mini officers, it was DISGUSTING. There was no way the stories about the nobles asses butler were even halfway true, just stories to keep the men in line. Like they would be scared of a rat.
Jeremy resisted the urge to spit and signed at Nel, making sure the seargent couldn't see the signs. Nel signed back, and Jeremy smiled, their plan was ago, after tonight they would slip off and signal to the xenos that they wanted to surrender. Of course, the seargent, the only brainwashed bastard of Rath in their whole squad would protest, but they had a way to fix that, emperor issued too. Sure, the xenos were barely better than animals, but they at least had food, and weren't a thrice blighted noble or officer telling him what to do.
Jeremy took a spoonful of the rather decent gruel and hummed to himself as he ate. He would be first watch, and then when time came for shift change the seargent was supposed to relieve him. Then they'd be ready to have a talk with the seargent all seven of their remaining men.
...
Jeremy stirred slowly, since they weren't gonna be part of the guard after tonight who gave an imperial damnation if he slept on duty. But something was wrong, he couldn't figure out what the bad feeling was, but he struggled his way out of the blankets he had tucked around himself vaguely panicked. He hadn't been with the reigment long, but he had been a scout long enough to know this silence...was bad.
Carefully he moved back towards the little outpost they had occupied, some kinda poured stone stuff, like he knew what that shit was, with a heavy metal door. Whatever was coming, it would be safer with a few more lasguns around him. Having reached the edge of the clearing around the outposts entrance he looked around carefully and seeing no sign of danger dashed for cover in the doorway, the inset door offered plenty of cover for him to take while he knocked the passcode.
Or would have, had the door not been ajar...and the scent of blood wafted from within. Jeremy froze. That was a bad sign...a very bad sign. That was a LOT of blood he was smelling...but if someone had attacked, why hadn't he heard it? Slowly carefully, he pushed the door open further with the barrel of his lasgun. Even if he would have preferred to retreat, doing so alone was probably certain death, especially considering all his kit was inside.
The door swung open stiffly, as if stuck on something...and then something fell from the top of it into Jeremy's arms, he fumbled for a second, catching it between his hand and lasgun. Then he screamed and chucked away Nel's head, his lasgun was back up and at the ready aiming at the door. While he panted in fear. Then he heard something crunch the snow behind him, he spun around and opened fire blindly into the small stand of trees that surrounded this outpost.
His shots blew chunks from the trees and caused steam to rise from new craters in the snow, but no figure emerged from the moonlit shadows to face him. And that only made the terror worse. Jeremy spun and body slammed the door, forcing it forward and entering the outpost. Quickly he spun and slammed the door back shut again...only to find his hands in a massive smear of blood. Trembling he looked down and saw Nel's body below, the object that had blocked the door. Slowly his eyes went upwards to the top of the door, staring at the gore.
Trembling he threw his entire body weight against the door as he felt something slam into it with incredible force, only him holding it and Nel's body being in the way kept the door shut, and he fumbled with the latch. It was a secure door, once he locked it, the door would hold, it HAD to hold! Jeremy struggled, every slam against the door forcing him to throw himself back against it, cursing desperately as it failed to lock again and again. Finally, with a heavy clank, the door closed, and its lock fell into place.
Jeremy exhausted, slide downwards in the pool of blood at the door, happy that the 33rds footwear had not slipped in the mess. Jeremy cursed to himself again and stood up trembling as the banging on the door seemed to end. Whatever was on the other side...he didn't see it, but it was no man. No human was that strong, no human could...use the top of a door as a upside down guilotine. With a shudder Jeremy turned from the door and surveyed the room, grimacing as he caught sight of... Jenny, he thinks that who it was, their head apparently inside the now upended stew pot, still.
On the left, Ramsos and Hinkle were both dead, crushed against a wall by the table they'd been seated at, Ramsos slumped forward, Hinkle pinned to the wall by one of the standard issue sporks through his throat. On the right, it looked like Vanessa had been torn limb from limb by something. Massive tears across her body and limbs missing. Looking around Jeremy realized there were two people missing, Lowozky and Seargent Tion. Hope erupted in his chest, maybe they survived? The seargent may be able to deal with whatever was attacking them, he was a veteran he had to know some way to stay alive!
Jeremy looked around frantically trying to think of where they could have gone. "Lowozky! Seargent!?" he called out and then his eyes fell on the only door deeper into the place, he rushed over to it, and pulled it open. Maybe Lowozky had hid in the latrine?
He had.
But he had not survived.
Jeremy wretched at the stench and stepped back. Lowozky had voided himself in death, unfortunately he had been shoved head and shoulders first down the latrine and not the other way around.
The banging at the door resumed, this time harder.
And then Jeremy heard the roar of a chain sword revving.
...
Seargent Tion strode through the snow, covered in blood, he would have changed, but this had been his last decent uniform. He carried his kit on his back, chainsword holstered at his side. His las pistol had been lost in battle days ago alongside his combat knife.
It had made the night more unpleasant than he would have hoped. Then again, it would have been unpleasant either way. Tion shook his head and lamented the loss of seven soldiers of the imperium. It was unfortunate but he could not hold this post on his own, and due to his failure seven men were lost. If the Lord was here he would report to command immediately but...as it was...
He would have to find other imperial forces to report his deriliction of duty, losing seven men to poor morale when they were in his care was a serious failure. Though the Rathian did have to wonder.
How in the world did Jeremy sleep through the racket? Tion shook his head at the mans poor discipline, yet another failing of Tion's, he didn't instill a proper attitude and it showed.

I was on the phone with my best friend. Nothing spectacular so far. We are studying in two different countries, so we are used to have long and weird calls and we've had this drinking game for a while now - we have a drink when we see someone we would date, but the last few times have been - well, how can I put it - sobering?
Short disclaimer: You may think we're superficial, but I think most people can agree that looks determine whether you want to get to know the other person - character determines whether you get together and stay together.
Today I would have drunk - but more on that in a moment.
You see, I was out for a long walk with the dog today and on the way back I had to cross a large square. There was a large contingent of police there - and let me tell you, one was hotter than the other! Aaaand that's exactly what I wanted to tell my best friend.
So you might think I was on the phone with her and just didn't connect my headphones to my phone - which would have been embarrassing enough, but no, I called her first and then my mobile phone took off in my pocket and called 14 other people - most of them people I hadn't been in contact with for a long time, people I don't particularly like or - and here's the most embarrassing part of the story - colleagues and especially my boss!
I thank God that most of them didn't answer, but two did. Among others: my boss.
And now you'd think that when you join a group call, you'd answer a little confused, no, not these two. Instead, they let me talk and talk - and at some point, a gentle clearing of the throat alerts me to the embarrassment that's going on!
For a second my soul left my body and I was completely shocked. I wanted to scream. To cry. Turn back the time. I wanted to die…
I don't know how much he heard, but it must have been at least the middle part where I told my best friend how annoyed I am not to have asked two of the policemen for their number, that if I'd seen them during our drinking game, I would have drunk my whole glass at once immediately and how incredibly hot I thought they were...so hot that I told my best friend I would have liked to have gone up to the policemen and said "excuse me officer, but I stole the dog and I have drugs in my backpack".
And I'm not sure what I find more embarrassing now - that people are now all texting to me and asking what's going on or the fact that my boss now knows what type of man I like and I'm so desperate that I would pretend to be a criminal....
FML - I really want a hole to open up in the ground right now and swallow me up!
TL;DR: Today I accidentally made a group call - or rather my mobile phone took on a life of its own during a call with my best friend while I was telling my best friend about the incredibly attractive policemen I had just seen! One of the people called was my boss...

[Sorry for bad formatting im on my phone] For context: I'm 17 and have a condition that I and doctors don't really know what it is. I call it a possum reflex, as it works the same as "playing possum". Basically, when I'm under a lot of stress I involuntarily enter a catatonic state. I can't move.
Well last night i ran out of some medication and now at school I could feel a possum reflex coming on. I went to the nurse to lay down as when a possum reflex comes on, that's basically all i can do. She knows this. Well someone was already laying down on the bed so all I could do was sit in the secretary room. A possum reflex is really slow, I don't just conk out immediately I slowly lose control of my body. Sitting in the chair I was slowly slumping over until I was about to fall out of the chair. The nurse told me to sit up and when that didn't work [cause I couldn't control my body] she just put me back up. By this point the person laying down in the back was gone [I think at least I was slumped over so I couldn't see anyone leave but I heard someone with crutches leave] I still had enough energy to be walked to the bed in the back, but I couldn't do it alone The nurse after sitting me back up just went to the principals office and started gossiping. After a while of fighting against my own body I was able to not faceplate on the floor and instead lay my head on the table next to the chair I'm sitting on. Now the position I was in was PAINFUL. My neck hurt so much and my shoulder was pushed up against the table really hard. I just waited for someone to notice and help The nurse just closed the door to the principals office [with her in it] so I couldn't hear any "juicy gossip" After some more time the pain was unbearable and I was crying and hyperventilating. A teacher came in and said "I don't think she's okay" while I was barely able to breathe This other office lady [I don't know her job] just talked the teacher unto thinking I was fine. [ I was hyperventilating and crying and drooling cause I couldn't control my face!] I tried moving so many times to relieve the pain but was only able to regain control of my body after 10 minutes. Now here's where I need advice: I don't know what to do now I'm currently in the bathroom trying not to bawl my eyes out with a sore neck and bruised shoulder. I don't want to go back to class I could call my mom to bring me home but a) she's at work and has a very important job so she can't just leave willy nilly and b) I already missed school yesterday.
I don't know what to do please help reddit

Age: 35 Sex: female Height: 5'4" Weight: 230lb Race: White Primary Complaint: concerns of pneumonia During: 3 days No existing medical issues Adderall 30mg and Sertraline 100mg daily Occasional drinker Non smoker No recreational drug use I have not been outside of the country recently
Sunday, on mothers day, I started to feel malaise. Throat hurt too, fever started around 8pm. Continued into Monday, I was convinced it was viral as my kids just had gotten over a throat infection (herpangina) and I thought it was probably that. On and off all day Monday I was fevering with a sore throat. I decided to get a good look at my throat and behind one of my tonsils I saw white patches, so Tuesday morning I went to med express. They swabbed me, positive for strep throat and prescribed augmentin. My kids were swabbed last week but negative for strep. My issue is, I’m worried I waited too long and it’s progressed into something uglier? My lungs apparently sounded fine yesterday and oxygen levels were good at the doctors but I am finding it hard to breathe in deep and it hurts. My chest and back mainly, I can’t tell if its muscular as I also have an intense and productive cough. It’s worse when I lay down. I’m getting sweaty easily too. No fever though. Does this sound like pneumonia?

Ive only just started to body train the last month or so & I’ve heard multiple different things from others. I’m a FTM so I only have one child but she is over the age of 4. That being said I do have what I call, mom b00bs or arm tits. I’ve started to notice slight differences in my body considering how thin figured and “weak” I was before workouts. I go consistently, 6x a week. My main question is if my breast hang, (please be kind omg) will working my chest muscles make them look more weird or help the appearance?

Content warning: Trauma
I got my first IUD on Friday. I had never had a pap or examine (32 yr) and have always felt guilty about being behind on preventative health care. I have also exclusively used withdraw since I was 18. I have only been in long term relationships and when the birth control conversation inevitably came up in the beginning of each, I would bristle. It would follow the ceasing of condom use and come with the implication that we (I) should be more responsible about birth control. I resented the suggestion that I alone should be responsible for altering my body to accommodate a man's, even my partner's, pleasure because they would rather not wear condoms and don't want to pull out. The idea of bearing the full burden of responsibility by inserting a foreign object in my body, in my most intimate organ has always insensed me on a fundamental level. But in truth, I always felt guilty for depriving my partner. and when friends would rebuke my choices as reckless- I don't know how many times I've been told I must be infertile if I haven't become pregnant yet while not using birth control. So when I went for my first exam, I thought it might be wise to do the responsible thing that I've felt urged to do from all fronts.
I wasn't nervous. In fact I saw it as a challenge to overcome. I listened to the information given to me during the consultarion. I felt like I had enough of a grasp of what was going to happen. I was offered xanax and lidocaine, but it was implied that lidocaine could be just as painful. I don't feel I was discouraged necessarily, but I felt it was not being encouraged. I wish I would have taken both offers instead of just the ibuprofen.
I was told of the potential pain and range of variable experience, that some women have felt the pain of insertion worse than child birth. But everyone that knows me knows that I have a high pain tolerance. And so say many women I imagine. The doctor told me I might have a "whoosh" experience, which I understood to mean fainting. I still didn't feel much fear leading up to the procedure.
I was told how the procedure would go, the assessment, the speculum, the measuring and the insertion. I was surprised by the size of the model iuds, though I'm not sure what I was expecting. I thought I understood the sounding- I didn't. I had no idea about the tenaculum. Once the examine was rolling it seemed all previously mentioned anxiety and pain management were off the table unless I insisted they stop.
I was uncomfortable from the beginning and realized I was in for an unpleasant experience if I couldn't get myself to relax. The resident MD was being coached by the doctor. I heard them discussing the tilt of my uterus as she seemingly went rutting around for my cervix. Even the cotton swab was painful. They brought in a nurse to squeeze my hand and try to distract me with idle conversation. He was a literal angel and I wouldn't have been able even attempt to mask the agony without him there.
I knew it could be painful but I had no idea. I have only ever heard of the "pinch" and some menstrual like cramps. I had only ever heard from women that had had relatively uncomplicated insertions with moderate pain if any.
The insertion was the single most excruciating event of my life. It is still so surreal as my mind is already trying to protect me from the memory days later. I was close to screaming but tried hard to laugh through the agony out of embarrassment and not wanting to make the doctors feel bad. I wish I had blacked out but I was acutely aware of every sensation. At peak pain, I did something I would normally never do and said "This Really Hurts". I can't put into words how much but I know some reading this may understand.
It felt like it lasted ages but eventually it was over. I felt absolutely broken. I was able to sit up even though I was in severe pain and all I could feel was my wrecked cervical canal and the device inside of me. I was able to dress and have some juice that was brought to me. The angel nurse came and sat with me some more to make sure I was okay. I was not, there was no position I could sit or stand in for relief but I again tried to put on a brave face, for a moment.
I felt delirious trying to make conversation and I suddenly realized I was sweating profusely. I informed him I needed to get undressed again. He suggested I lay back down. Terrible, no. I put my head under the faucet. My pelvis was screaming. Standing was awful. I hobbled to the bathroom across the hall and immediately took my shirt off again, more water. I felt like I needed to shit and puke. The pain was getting worse and worse so I weakly crossed the hall again shirtless back to the bed. Now the staff were concerned and coming to assist me.
I spent the next HOUR in pain again, nearly as bad as the procedure. Charlie horse level cramps all over from the waste down, the worst of which concentrated in my cervix. Fever chills and aches like the worst food poisoning/stomach virus you've ever had. The muscles in my hips were screaming and moving was not an option. I had ice packs on my head and warm packs all around my waste. I wondered if my body was in full assault mode against a perceived foreign invader. I am pretty sure I was in shock. I was hypotensive the whole time while a new nurse monitored my vitals. I struggled to respond to any one verbally.
The doctor overseeing the insertion swung by, placed pressure on my lower stomach and asked if it hurt. Yes. You're not gushing blood though are you? No. I don't recall him saying much else before a left again. Later, when delivering my exit consultation he reminded me of the "whoosh" sensation he'd told me about and explained thats what I had just experienced for the last hour and that it was not uncommon.
I felt like I was nailed to that bed for hours pouring sweat and trying everything to avoid the pain in my entire body. Eventually I noticed my breaths were finally seeming to connect back to my heart rate. I started coming back to life and immediately asked the new nurse if she knew why male birth control options were not available in the US after decades. She flatly responded, the patriarchy. I told her I had used tracking and withdraw for the past 14 years and I wasn't sure what I had just done to my body was necessary. She agreed, tracking could be a viable planning option she said. I still hadn't shed a tear during this ordeal.
Tears were to come and to come repeatedly in the following days, every time I remember anything about what happened. I was depleted and deeply depressed. I feel hurt and violated and alone. I'm not mad at any one in particular. I mad on the whole that we are made to feel we have an obligation to bravely endure Why?
The pain largely subsided after the worst of it but I could, and still can, feel the IUD inside me. I hope that awareness goes away and I can eventually forget it's there and what I went through for it. I was starting to feel better today until I got my medical report in my email. Notes for post procedure: "patient tolerated procedure well."
I am so beyond hurt and angry. This has to be a mistake? I've left voice messages with the clinic. This is very important for me that this is corrected, for my record and the larger record. I found it so hard to find stories like mine outside of this forum. Are they going unreported? How common is this? What are these statistics that are published?
I'm mad and exhausted and I hurt for anyone who had also experienced this. I want to hear your stories of your experiences, even if they were more fortunate than mine.
I don't not recommend getting any IUD, but I won't recommend it, at least not without pain management. do yourself the favor. But I feel more opposed to the concept now than ever before. I won't accept that this is the best option available in this day and age. Really?

Hi, I have recently started to do partner stunts (All girl) as a base. I´m enjoying a lot and having fun, but I'm scared to get myself injured somehow, cause i don't do much weights at the gym but I am strong enough to do partner stunts somehow (I don't find it hard actually)...
I do go to the gym twice a week, i would say i have strong legs, but weak upper body. I don't get pain from cheer besides on my hands, but I just get scared to get injuries (Specially knee ones)...
Is there a routine I should follow in order to avoid this? stretching after practice (I already do it before)? working out more? pulling heavier weights?

I've had a pretty dry kinda sore throat the past few days, just tried to go into head voice to sing and is straight up sound like Marge Simpson losing her voice lmaooo
In chest or more Masc voice I sound fine tho, people of the voice community: wtf? 🤣😭💀
Did I maybe hurt my voice singing? I hope I didn't do anything wrong. 😅

I have lots of trouble sitting comfortably in any chair. No matter what I do, my pelvis seems to get pulled forward causing my low back to arch and the back of my butt almost comes off the chair entirely. If I try to “slouch” to stop from arching, my mid back slouches but doesn’t fix the arch in my low back. This seems to translate into my standing posture too, as my hips are pulled forward, my belly protrudes, my psoas gets tight, and it feels like my butt muscles are always contracted. When I try to let my butt muscles relax I end up with a big lower back arch.
I just tried sitting with my feet propped up and focused on letting my hips sink into the chair and it seemed to relieve a lot of the tension. I’m starting to think I have weak hip flexors which causes my pelvis/stomach to dump forward and pull my back along with it, and my body tries to counteract this by tightening my glutes. I read somewhere that sitting can actually cause your hips to be stuck in extension. Should I I just focus on strengthening my hip flexors? I feel a pretty big burn in my hip flexors when I sit with my feet propped up.

Just came here to say I’ve been in the hospital twice in the last month. About to get sent back today after my first rheumatologist appointment. I’ve been dealing with body pain and weakness, my ck levels, ast and alt have been crucially elevated. First diagnosis was rhabdo, they thought because I had been working a lot. But then it came back a week later after resting and only doing some walking. So they suspected something autoimmune and did a basic profile. Ana was positive. So today I have my first rheumatologist appointment. But I had some follow up labs done Monday and yesterday they called to tell me my ck levels are extremely elevated again. All ive done this week is some walking(i wait tables, only went in twice this week) . They told me to try to wait it out until after i see rheumatologist, otherwise it would lengthen the process since they don't do those workups at the hospital. I have such a high pain tolerance, it's hard for me to be a good judge. Hoping to get some answers soon, I just want my life back.

Hi all! Shy lurker here making an appearance..
I started a chiropractic plan January of this year. I was skeptical about the red light package but went ahead and included it.
Their office used the OvationULT “zero gravity” full body machine. At first I found it strange and was not convinced but it’s been 5 months now and here’s what I’ve noticed:

• my menstrual cycle is not only shorter, but VERY regular. I use Oura + Natural Cycles to track. Every time it predicts my period, it is spot on. Prior to doing RLT it was never accurate.. late periods all the time.
  
• weight loss (?) I’ve gone from 128 to 120 since January. My diet and fitness routine has not changed so I wonder if the RLT helped.
  
• neck / back pain. I have a very sedentary job which is what lead me to seek chiropractic help to begin with. My neck would always feel tight and sore which lead to headaches. I’m sure the adjustments play a huge role, but I wonder if the RLT helped as well. I’ve had no neck or headache pains since starting. I had what was termed “Tech Neck”.
  

I’m sharing this in hopes it may help someone else. I also wonder if anyone has any similar experiences?

Hi all, I'm (25F) looking for any advice. Any shared experience is appreciated as well.
Basically, I'm not sure what to do. I've been attempting to get confirmation/help on my symptoms for years, but more so recently in the past month.
I currently suffer from what looks like hypothyroidism.
My symptoms include: 1. Heavy periods (though I've also been diagnosed with endometriosis) that are so bad they happen more than twice a month and I was forced to go on iron and continuous birth control for blood loss back when I was young. (I still take BC) 2. Extreme hot flashes and night sweats 3. Rashes that appear in my body creases 4. Most importantly, I have body aches and joint pain just every day that range in severity. (some days require pain medication and braces) 5. Depression, anxiety, brain fog, mood swings 6. General itchiness 7. Back in 2021, I became completely covered in an extremely painful and sore rash for about 2 weeks. After an ER visit, PCP, and Allergist, none could figure out what caused it. I was diagnosed with just general Urticaria, but I have a feeling it was a thyroid flare up. 8. Blood tests that exhibit low blood platelets, despite optimal iron, b12, and folate levels. 9. Extreme fatigue
I also have 3 family members with thyroid problems both on my mom and dad's side.
I've been to my PCP, they said it's very likely I have thyroid problems (hypo to be specific).
However after testing my TSH and autoimmune risk, it was found to be normal and they dismissed it.
In the past I've gotten these tests as my TSH results: 1. 2019 - 1.4 2. 2020 - 1.4 3. 2021 - 4.1 4. 2024 (recent) - 1.4
Why they dismissed the rise in 2021? I don't know. This was around the same time as my urticaria rash.
If anyone could point me in the right direction and help me understand what might be happening, that would be wonderful. It feels like a thyroid problem but my results are normal, so I'm not sure where else to turn for a possibility. Thank you for reading! ❤️

To preface this story; my boyfriend and I have been dating for 6 months, and he is utterly wonderful to me. He’s everything I’ve ever wanted and despite me struggling with trust and not believing I’m wanted, he’s shown me consistently since the day we met that he only has eyes for me. He has struggled with severe OCD all his life while I have severe ADHD and have recently also been diagnosed with OCD (specifically ROCD).
He is a very conventionally attractive man and gets a lot of female attention, which has always felt difficult but he turns it down without blinking an eye every time. I also get a fair amount of attention which I instantly shut down, but my boyfriend deeply struggles with RJ. I have a promiscuous past (despite actually a low body count) and he has found the idea that i’m not untouched extremely difficult. He also will admit his area of weakness is communicating his fears and worries, which culminated in one of his biggest OCD episodes ever.
In February he travelled to a different country for a week which was our first time being long distance even for a short period of time. He went to work at a gym event and was posting lots of content of himself in that environment, and received a number of suggestive messages in response from random girls. We hadn’t been able to talk much that week, he was severely jet lagged, and had had a large fight with a family member that day. The OCD thoughts that had been plaguing him for around a month beforehand came on very strongly, and he was suddenly convinced that I didn’t love him and was cheating on him (due to a few things he had misinterpreted but not spoken up about). In the peak of this, a girl sent him explicit pictures, and in a fit of rage he sent one back. He immediately blocked her before she even opened it and called me crying, which is very rare. He told me he had had this moment of clarity after where he realised how much he fucked up and had given into his OCD and that he never wanted anyone else and never wanted to hurt me.
I struggled with this information at first because trust is a very difficult thing for me, but I stayed calm and tried my hardest to think rationally. Logically, I really do get what went on for him that led to this, and I trust that he didn’t do it out of lust or any desire to cheat on me. It’s been eating him up inside ever since because a big part of his OCD is thinking he’s an awful person and having a massive conscience and he hates to see me hurt. The problem is, my OCD causes me to completely obsess over things like this and I can’t get it out of my head. I find myself secretly questioning everything even though I logically understand the reasons. I want to move past it so badly and it’s causing him so much anguish to see me hurt by his actions, even though I assure him I’m actually just being hurt by my OCD. I also know with almost 100% certainty he will never do anything like that again. Any mistakes he ever makes he only makes once, because he takes learning from them extremely seriously.
I suppose my question is, how can I get my feelings on board with what I know is logically true? I don’t want to create distance between us, and I certainly am not considering breaking up. I just don’t want to allow my thoughts to tarnish him.

Love how Blizzard’s “buff” to Hanzo’s already super weak ult isn’t even a buff. Now it deals less damage and is not even useful as a zoning tool.
Hanzo is by far the worst character . Widow can one shot as HIT scan. Junk gets his two shot body kills back.
What a slap in the face ……
My mains ? Ana and Hanzo. Ana was amazing for a long time and I can accept her being lower tier right now.
Hanzo was never ever used in overwatch leagues or really high competitive ranks- yet they nerf him. What …..
Let’s just say I’ve stuck to other characters for dps & healer ….. it’s nice to feel like you’re bringing the most value you can to the team. Hanzo has little to no value at this point as a dps .

Spike couldn't believe it he is meeting a region champion! "Now then about your Pokemon" Cynthia began. Spike then shook his awestruck state and paid attention "Now based on how many badges you have you are clearly underprepared to handle team plasma or to help me" Cynthia Cynthia then pointed to the water "First of all you should catch some water type Pokémon to help diversify your team a bit...so here" Cynthia handed Spike a fishing rod. "Use that to fish up some Pokémon from the water"
"Thanks" Spike took the rod and inspected
"Next. You should try to evolve more of your Pokémon." Spike blushed at this he was told by others that he should have more evolved Pokémon. Cynthia then looked in the distance "I better get going." Cynthia then left Spike to his thoughts. He turned to the ocean
"Fishing wasn't something that I would have considered when it comes to catching powerful Pokémonbut hey I am willing to try new things." Spike then cast the line into the water few moments later he got a bite. Reeling it in Spike saw what he had caught. A Strange blue snake with wings on the side of its head#Learnset) "What are you?" Spike took out his dex to see what he is dealing with
"Dratini the Dragon Pokémon. Dratini continually molts and sloughs off its old skin. It does so because the life energy within its body steadily builds to reach uncontrollable levels." The Dex informed
"Huh...Well I have room for two more so welcome aboard little guy" Spike threw a net ball to catch the water snake dragon pokemon. It didn't seem to resist Spike smiled with what he caught.
"HEY BOSS CHECK IT OUT!" Buddy yelled getting his trainer's attention. Spike looked at Buddy who was pointing at a small yellow rat pokemon
"I have seen a Pikachu Buddy...what's so special about this one?"
"He's like me!" Spike eye's buldged at this "Yeah. A Partner Pokemon!" Spike smirked And tossed a luxury ball...while it did in fact caught the Pikachu...It immediately got out of it's ball.
"DON'T JUST DO THAT!" The Pikachu yelled.
"Sorry Sorry. Listen Storm-" Spike began "Bolt. my name is Bolt." Bolt interrupted
"Huh came with his own chosen name. Anyways Bolt you know how these things work."
"Yes I do but I am only getting in the ball when I have to." Bolt nodded and said in understanding
"Why did I encountered another Partner Pokemon?" Spike then shrugged "Well Another Dragon Type is always welcome. Besides I have a ground type already"
"Yeah, though it would be a good idea to use water." Buddy stated "Looks like David finally get a turn."
"Right back to Town and prepare to head to Route 112" As the group head back to Dewford Town. Twilight spoke up
"Pause." The play back paused "So What about Rayquaza?" Buddy nodded at this question
"We couldn't really do anything about him yet seeing that we were too weak at the moment and luckily the Cynthia and the Champion of the Honen region, were keeping Plasma busy." Buddy answered. "And lucky for us the play back isn't going to show you the training moment we have that would get repetitive. The playback will skip to us in Lavaridge Town. Where we faced Flannery, and Pee Wee evolved into Blaziken"

Hi all, brief overview, my (41m) WW (38f) had an EA which I discovered in January. AP lives in another country, no physical interactions. Not all truths were told, trickle truths came out over the month with 3 weeks ago confirming more of what I suspected happened.
When EA was discovered, WW told me it wasn’t sexual. Slowly I began piecing knowledge together from old messages and commentary that it was 100% sexual. I thought I processed this in my mind over the first few months, but once I confirmed specifically what sexual activity took place I’m now back down to a spiral.
To be fair to my WW; she’s 100% no contact, she’s been for the most part committed to improving and repairing our connection/relationship, she’s given me no reason after January to be mad at her for anything she’s done after discovering. We’re actually doing much better than we ever have been which I’m happy for, but I’m still healing and I get days where I feel inconsolable.
Now, I am feeling rejected, ugly, not wanted, weak, small. I don’t feel good about myself, and I told her this last night while assuring her that I don’t always feel this way, which I don’t.
I just want this pain to be worked through, I don’t know what my WW can do to help me. We had issues for years before EA, so she’s working on herself as well.
There’s parts of me that feel that if she just gives her body to me I’ll feel better, but I know that’s not realistic. It’s her body, it’s her love, and I know in my heart she needs to choose to love me out of will, not by pity. I don’t want her sympathy.
There’s other parts that desperately want to have a revenge affair because my anger is telling me that she won’t know how I feel unless I hurt her the way she hurt me. I fight this feeling regularly, I know it wouldn’t make things better.
Any advice is welcome, I’m really in a bad spot mentally today
Edit: clarifying what I confirmed. I know my wife can be a very sexual person from being with her for over 24 years. Hearing her tell me it wasn’t sexual I knew was a flat out lie. So I mentally prepared myself that they had phone/video sex multiple times. What I confirmed that this did indeed happen at least two times over video with use of sex toys that I bought her during the time she was having the EA. What I’m processing mostly is that she used me to buy her sex toys under the guise that she was “trying to reignite the spark” when I didn’t know about EA. I’m not stupid, she bought these toys so she can have more engaging cybevideo sex with this asshole.
At the same time, she always feels shy and doesn’t let me watch her use the toys. So knowing that she openly did it with him and not me, it hurts and makes me extremely angry and jealous.

Hi all, new here so don’t troll me if I am not following etiquette, but my son (22 y/o) has been sicker than a dog for 5 days now. Looks like flu or Covid, in fact, even worse than Covid, because when he had it a couple years ago, it was just a fever for two days and a headache. This is headache, fever, chills, congestion, but no sore throat and the weird part is usually he kicks fevers and viruses within two days, but this has been five and counting. The other weird part is his fever got up to 104.7 last night!
My sister‘s son who is nine years younger than him had something recently a couple weeks ago and his fever was also almost 105, but tested negative for Covid, flu, strep everything. Taking my son to the doctor today.
Anyone else seeing this weird virus circulate? Not even sure everyone is getting it, it can sit in a house of a family of five and only stay with one person.
Would love to hear if anyone else is seeing this.
