Roll Call 156

The main thing that I dealt with was chronic dry cough, which seems to have gone away over the past few months. I still have some other symptoms but they're not as annoying as that was

Unfortunately some of the best food can trigger it....a lot of people have a reaction to red sauce on either pizza or spaghetti which is unfortunate and why I think meds are helpful. Bfs reflux is so bad though he must avoid certain foods even on maximum strength nexium. It actually causes a type of asthma in him because the acid reaches his lungs.

Thanks @Blue_Bird
Actually it went great. I didn’t even need the Pap smear. Even though the Dr office said they would do it next appointment and they keep sending me texts and emails that I’m overdue. I went to the appointment. I had my vitals done. They took me to the room where you do the test and had me change into a gown. Then I sat there for 20 minutes. Then the nurse came in and was like wait...have you been sexually active. I’m like no. She’s all like then you don’t need the test unless you want one. I’m like no thanks. So she tells me to get dressed and go to another room. So then I see the Dr. She asks me again if I have ever been sexually active. I’m like no. She’s like then you don’t need the test. You’re not at risk for cervical cancer and it’s hard to do the test if you’ve never been sexually active. Jeez. So stop texting and emailing me that I’m overdue! So then she goes over my labs which are good and my BP is good. She prescribed me a med for my acne. I even lost a little weight. Then I had the Dr look at my arm for the recent SH. She said it’s a little pink but not infected and just use antibiotic cream. She said to make sure I tell my psych Dr because I may need a med adjustment. Then she gives me a lab form and an appointment for three months. Now they need to stop texting and emailing me that I’m overdue for this test, seriously. I was so stressed out. But it ended good. And my arm is okay from the SH.

Yeah, It really sucks. Chocolate causes it too. And red sauce... I'm Italian and grew up with my Italian mother cooking homemade pasta and stuff like that constantly, that stuff is my favorite lol Sorry he deals with that, it sounds scary

I'm so glad it went well and that you're doing good

Yeah has got like two inhalers and stuff....but he still has the occasional chocolate despite it all.

I was looking up red sauce that doesn’t cause it and I found a recipe that had bicarbonate(baking soda) in it to neutralize it...apparently it works for some people but I’m not sure how it affects taste.

I don’t have reflux but the Dr told me to stay away from nuts and chocolate due to the acne. I’m like no.....I love chocolate but I really don’t have it that often. And I love Pasta.

For some reason this created the visual of you reaching into your purse and pulling out a pack of peanut m and ms while saying no 😂

Lol!!!!!

Well, gotta leave to go to therapy with regular T. My appointment is at 630 tonight. At least I’m totally not stressed. Thanks everyone for your support today!

I'm tired of this bullshyt. Fcking tired.

Lol idc about anything anymore.

I really dont. I wanna go back to my dads, honestly.

What’s going on?

I think I either met you on tripsit, the chat here or tinychat..

No worries I'm chill

Hi guys. Therapy went well tonight. Regular T was trying to get me to see that SH isn't the problem, its what's underneath it. And she wants me to let myself feel anything and everything that I feel and not stuff it down or punish myself for feelings. She just wants me to care about myself. I'm so not upset anymore. I feel accepted by regular T. I think Pastor T cares about me in his own way. We talked about the visual hallucinations I was having this weekend also, and that was helpful. She knew I was scared and she gave me some ideas for dealing with the hallucinations. I feel like I have a few more options than I did before. It was a scary hallucination and it freaked me out. But now I have something else to try when or if it comes back. So that's good. Hugs. Kit

I wish I didnt have to stay home from work, but I have to, with ssa rules, or whatever.

But idk. I just dont see the next few days off as being something good.

Like idk. I dont want to be in my head. Not now anyway. Now isnt a good time.

Just starting to feel depressed about everything right now. Cant sleep.

Was up all night paranoid

Rise and grind

If you find something that works for hallucinations let us know ok....

My pokemon sword from amazon is coming tomorrow.

But it says arrival by 11pm. That's the latest I've ever seen amazon deliver from their independent mail carriers. I've actually had a package come at 9pm once.

I would be asleep....would not appreciate that.....

I slept late today, so I didn't get to the doctor yet again. It's a little ridiculous that they require you to be at their door at 7am, especially when I have to walk part of the way and take the bus so I'd have to get up at 5 and leave the house around 6.

I'd say I'd try again tomorrow but it's been 3 days in a row I haven't gotten myself there so idk.

I guess I'll just try to get rid of it naturally. It has improved over the past few months so I guess that's a good sign.

When do you see your doctor next? Doesn't sound like things are going well with the effexor

Just took the dogs for a walk to the dog park.
