CPAP and fibromyalgia pain
@fluffy honestly i think it would help immensely - i know it has helped the minor bruxism i had (very pain + sleep = gnaw gnaw gnaw, thanks asleep me, you Asshole, you Fool, you Knave) - basically it could function like a very fancy splint (that also moves your jaw forward, preventing your throat from collapsing so you can still breathe unimpeded)
CPAP and fibromyalgia pain
@fluffy just tossing this out there as i drive by the timeline -
could it be a low-level anxiety thing working against you? honestly i can't tolerate CPAP/APAP at all - it just sets off some deep lizard brings AAAA SMOTHERING panic.
there is the dental appliance solution to sleep apnea too that you may want to ask about. it's basically like wearing a retainer, so there's no stuff to wear on your face. it does make the jaw sore sometimes, but is a thing worth knowing?
@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz my favourite variant of that, one that did end up being a big reason i gtfo'd out of tumblr, was
-make a cool post which you think is completely innocuous
-your tumblr famous friend also thinks it is cool and reblogs it with a cool comment
-now it's being reblogged into infinity by people who think it's cool, but this also brings like 3 people to your doorstep that are ready to rip out your throat with their teeth bc you did something hideous (like hand out toys on halloween)
mental health and health negative, a wigglytuff is grumpy
listen, when i said "i hope this steroid injection does something", i wanted something HELPFUL, not "have (another) acne breakout, and also, now you get 15 Minutes Crushing Anxiety about once a day"
also sad and mad about my friends having to go through bullshit, and having no way to help them, or even spoons to help them research
feeling a bit useless and upset, more or less.
at least i got ranch pasta salad?
in which a wigglytuff subtoots
me: boy i'm glad that the fediverse has a different culture than other parts of the internet, dominated by whatever topics 12 year old boys most like yelling at each other in middle school
fediverse: here's grossout humor but actually i faked it. it is a social experiment, and i am the most clever
fediverse: that IS the most clever, let us talk about this endlessly! and in ways that are impossible to filter!!
me: ah... i see...
honestly at this point i'm thinking i might be better off with a bag of fuckin peas lol.
#spoonie folks and others, y'all have a favourite brand of reusable coldpack that you can use for therapeutic stuff (e.g. mushing on yourself)? chattanooga colpacs keep fuckin letting me down
i'm not exactly running these things over with a steamroller or tossing them into a meatgrinder either!!! i'm laying them on my shoulder...!!!
i just want to chill my shoulder without dealing with grey smears on my chair and clothes and person 😭
uuugh i need to summon my Can I Speak To Your Manager energy because these reusable coldpacks are fucking beyond the pale
same company, same product, held up for 7 years. great, let's get some more. 2 out of the 6 or so new ones have had to be tossed out entirely. the other 3 are all patched. the heat sealing around the edge is just... not as good as it used to be, so the grey goop is constantly leaking out. i thought putting duct tape all around the edge would head off problems, but no... =_=
@theguardian@friendica.hubup.pro i know this is probably the bot processing input in a way where the input is not something you have control over at all but i would just like to register that i hate "the entire blurb as a cw, and then the post is just 'read more here's a link'" is bass-ackwards and awful and i hate it with the passion of a thousand suns. thank you.
i can't believe last week lolita news is the salt queen #lolitafashion both needs, and deserves https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZO0EhkOjFs
srsly i may have bawled a little at the final point here. it's so good.
this joke is ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AWFUL and i make no apologies nor excuses for it.
also the lewd qualities of the phrase "creme de mint" will be left as an exercise to the reader
