really putting the “ooh” in “oo-mox”
i had a similar experience, and now i’m permanently disabled and require a mobility aid, and i’m not even 30 yet. the thing that saved me was getting a new PCP who actually believed me and got me in for testing— apparently my lumbar vertebrae look like a crushed pop can. so much of this could’ve been avoided if i had gotten treatment early. if you can, try and find a female doctor, one kind of younger, because in my experience, they’re the ones that will actually listen to you— especially if you’re a woman, or AFAB. if there’s a disability advocacy or support group in your area, or even online, hot them up. they’ll be able to let you know which doctors to avoid, at the very least. if you live in a rural or semi-rural area, you might even have to go into the bigger cities to find a decent one. most of all, you know your fucking body. you know your lived experience. don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking your pain isn’t real, or doesn’t matter. it’s scary and painful to try and find a decent medical provider, and it can feel like you’re stuck searching forever. but there is someone out there that’ll help you. please don’t give up looking.
i know a couple of people with health issues that make it so they can’t, so they use powder instead. Gold Bond or baby powder, usually. i think it also depends on how much you sweat.
tastes okay, but the meat is a bit stringy and wiry… it’s like there’s no fat in it at all!
as much as i would love for this to happen, i don’t think he could get a Senate seat… we’ve gotten actual hard leftists in more local positions before, but state-wide? especially when the WV Dem party is practically Republican, and would never back him. like, they’re so far from the national party line, it’s fucking wild that they’re still accepted as Democrats.
sometimes knocking yourself out when you have sleep issues/night terrors can just leave you trapped in the nightmare. 0/10 would not recommend. there’s also a non-soporific med for nightmares that can be prescribed, but its original purpose was a blood pressure med, so it can cause fainting and dizziness :/
cannot emphasize the importance of decent quality cleaning supplies enough. it’s a game changer.
mid price point rice cooker. not as much of a cool/fun answer as the rest, but it lets me meal prep for days. i don’t like cooking for just myself, but it’s so easy to use that it doesn’t feel like a waste. plus i always overcook my rice on the stove 😅
i haven’t used Reddit since the big migration, and quit Xitter way before then. i still use YouTube a lot, but use NewPipe instead of any app or webpage. can’t stand Discord either way, but use it for a couple MMO guilds i’m in. it sucks that the shitposting scene on Masto isn’t as big as Xitter, or maybe i’m not looking in the right places. (i know jorts.horse has some good posts on their local, but i don’t wanna move from my instance.)
