Hello!

I've somewhat recently started prozac! My depression mostly manifested as emotional blunting and numbness on top of the fact that I have a dissociative disorder. (I've got quite the cocktail). With both the prozac and appropriate mental health care I've been doing so good but I've noticed an increase in cataplexy episodes.

I wonder if anyone else has experienced something like this?

Hello!

We recently got the GE APWD07JASG and we had some like rattling with it so I took off top and didn't see like anything loose or glaringly wrong with it. I did take pictures of some stuff that may be a little concerning but otherwise the thing is still working.

If it doesn't need fixing great! If it does need fixing and I could reasonably do it myself please tell me how. I got this thing on super sale and definitely cannot afford a pro or a replacement.

Hello!

I'm realatively new to the mattress world and my fiance and I are needing to find something that can last us a while and meet our needs. Both of us have Rheumatoid and EDS so it's been difficult to find something.

Until recently we stayed at a country inn & suites in Port Orange and it was the most comfortable bed ever. That was probably the first time I ever woke up without something being dislocated.

From some googling I found that this is the one they use apparently https://sertaguestpurchase.com/mattresses/hotel-mattress/serta-elite-5000-plush-two-sided But I know hotel mattresses dont last long. We both are around the 200 lbs range so we really need a good mattress that is graded for over 250 lbs.

Any suggestions would be reallt helpful cause I'm not even sure where to start

So long story short while I can grow a beard it is a sensory nightmare. The regular gillette razors shred my face and depilitory creams result in a rather nasty burn.

I know safety razors are better for the skin but there's so many options out on the market I'm not sure which to go with. So I figured the folks with beards would be the best people to ask?

This is the only candle my fiance is not allergic to nor does it give him a migraine and I have done so much googling and cannot find it. The sticker on the bottom of the jar is like illegible so this is all I've got. Anyone have any ideas?

Hello!

My gastro gave me some treatment options to help but since my insurance was changing and he didn't take the new one (the joys of turning 26) he didn't have the time to get me a gastric emptying test. He said based on my symptoms it sounds like I'm having motility issues and my autistic ass didn't realize that was what he meant. He knows my tendency to panic with my health so I think he was trying to avoid that 😅

Recently it's been getting worse sincr I can't afford the OTC options he gave me right now and I'm not sure what to do. A lot of the articles I read for diet changes (eating smaller meals more frequently, avoiding high fiber and high fat foods, etc) are things I have been doing but I feel so full it's getting to the point that somedays I struggle taking my meds.

These flares come and go so it doesn't stay bad but I'm really struggling because food has always been a source of comfort for me and how full I'm getting is making my gerd way worse.

Just does anyone have advice for dealing with flares like these? It makes me just really tired all the time since I work in retail and I'm on my feet frequently.

I would like to invite you to participate in a voluntary research survey that looks at access to non-invasive and non-surgical options for gender-affirming healthcare procedures.

Link to survey: https://uic.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bkdRjSLq2Nyp0iO

Procedures: We would like to know more about you and your experiences with obtaining (or your desire to obtain) gender-affirming care. Survey data will be collected through a secure survey tool, Qualtrics. Completing the survey should take 30 minutes of your time. You will be asked to answer basic questions about yourself, your experiences, and your well-being. The survey will close on Saturday, August 12th, 2023, at 11:59 pm CT.

Eligibility: - You want to pursue, are pursuing, or have pursued gender-affirming care - You must live in a U.S. state or territory - You must be 18 years or older

Compensation for Participation: When you complete the survey, you will have the option of entering your e-mail address into a drawing where you could win one of eight $100 electronic gift cards for an online retailer. You may choose to forfeit your entry in the drawing and instead elect to have $1 donated to the Kind Clinic, a non-profit dedicated to providing free gender-affirming care services. See the following link for more information about the Kind Clinic: https://kindclinic.org/. The odds of winning the drawing are 1 in approximately 185.

So I was on T just shy of five years before I stopped due to health reasons and it's been three years since I stopped. I had a decent amount of bottom growth. I wasn't like huge but I had enough that it sort of "stuck out" even when not arroused.

Now three years down the road I realize I am now MUCH smaller. Nearly as small as I was pre-t.

I was told that bottom growth was permanent but for me it clearly isn't. Has anyone else experienced this?
