Dyspnea famously can be caused by anxiety, and anxiety is also a biological thing. Not saying it’s the only possible cause, but people with and without ME/CFS can get dyspnea from/with anxiety

I differentiate between what people call “air hunger” and a different kind of dyspnea that isn’t accompanied by the feeling of not getting enough oxygen, even though I’m objectively getting less oxygen. It feels as though my lungs have shrunk. It takes an abnormal amount of effort to take an in breath. My breathing becomes very slow as well as shallow. I physically can’t hyperventilate. I used to get a different kind of dyspnea that was often accompanied by anxiety and it made me hyperventilate but this feels completely different

Mine can get quite bad, to the point my spo2 drops significantly

Those are so cool. You’re very talented

No I wouldn’t say that it’s normal to be anxious to such an extent. Are you sure that’s why he’s screaming? Is he perhaps overstimulated by something? When I was at my worst the sound of my caregivers footsteps and the pressure of someone leaning on my bed were agonizing

Id go insane if I didn’t

Misogyny and repackaged bioessentialism (“AMABs are inherently predatory because they’re male socialized”🤢)

If there’s a book club I’m interested in joining!

They once installed an espresso machine on the ISS and it cost them millions of dollars. They called it ISSpresso lol

When I brought this up with a psychiatrist she said many SSRIs are sigma1 agonists and that this whole thing is a pharma industry ploy to get people to buy an older antidepressant that’s falling out of use (Fluvoxamine)

How do you reduce pressure ?

You’ll never get a decent hourly wage by selling crochet items unless you’re exceptionally skillful and have rich clients. If you want to make money with crochet, sell patterns

Can you really draw any conclusions from this with a control group of 6 people and the p value of .5

What do you think about Le Guin’s later novels, like the telling and the annals series?

Not only is there no proposed theoretical mechanism, the study design was shoddy. It wasn’t even blinded.

We don’t know if it works. The study wasn’t properly blinded. Participants knew if they received placebo or treatment. The route of administration was also questionable—vaccines shouldn’t be injected into the glutes

I really loved Scanners live in vain, can you recommend me a novel of his?

Your favorite Le Guin deep cut?

Best of luck for your SGB

I’m sorry, I don’t remember where I found this information or if it’s even correct. Check her twitter, she shared her story there

I see a lot of trans guys saying shit like that and honestly I think it’s so stupid. Like whenever there’s debate about “protecting women’s spaces” some trans guy posts a shirtless gym selfie saying “guess you want me in women’s restroom😜” and like,,, way to go dude you just found a way to make this about yourself and your abs! when really we should be talking about transmisogyny right now! Like this only diverts from the real issue, which is transphobia, and sort of tacitly affirms the idea that only people who pass deserve to use the restroom that they want.
