That’s so tough, I’m right there with you! Tysm for sharing. I hope your med restrictive tests have calmed down a bit. (swear it’s always the GI ones with such wild guidelines… had a bunch of nuclear med tests last year) Appreciate the kind words a lot 🫂💜

is there anything more to do OTC for skin flushing / vasodilation than h1 & h2 blockers this is evillll. already on montelukast & quercetin too. the thought of yet another specialist for pursuing ketotifen or cromolyn is too much rn

why did it take me so long to buy compression gloves omg. hand / skin flushing has been my worst symptom the last few years. small bonus is it helps stabilize my hypermobile hands a bit too

answers are so rare to come by when those in power don’t wish to seek them out! been operating the last few years under the assumption i have at least been mild (up until 2024ish) after learning about PEM / PENE. everything about my existence clicked into place in my brain. 🫂🫂🫂

maybe it’s just my algorithm bc i’m at the intersection of mental and public health, but if your reaction to hantavirus is about the trauma of 2020, i did do a year long project in 2021 with essays, journal prompts, and playlists to encourage healing from that trauma www.whatexactlyisupchuck.com

shocked my derm was like hey we ruled out common things but i think what’s happening is tied to a specific aspect of your rare genetic syndrome let’s try to find someone at UT to help since it’s specialized and im like my man i thought you were gonna tell me to use minoxidil and send me on my way 😭

When people with ME are posting less and you’re not sure if they took a baseline hit and can’t or got a baseline improvement and are spending time and energy doing other things. If anyone here is posting less because they can’t, sending you gentle virtual hugs. 🫂

first i thought to get off completely but i was put on it for the indicated purpose (nerve pain) and it does help that but does not touch musculoskeletal pain and isn’t a catch all pain med. i was on meloxicam ~decade til gaba bc of sciatica in HIGH SCHOOL. gr8 drug. shocked i never got an ulcer

added in: robaxin (good alternative to flexeril so far - anticholinergics rock but are touuugh), jelliebend/abdominal compression, compression gloves, more frequent zyrtec no one asked but it was helpful to read from others that it CAN be rough to get off of & to go as slow as possible! 🫶
