I recently had to stop taking my vyvanse due to some bad side effects and holy shit I forgot how bad this was. I can’t do anything. I have so much shit I need to do but I sit down to do it and it genuinely fills me with dread. I am just staring at my computer. Even getting to the webpage I needed took hours of convincing. This is horrible, even caffeine isn’t helping. What do y’all do? How do you manage?

    Oh jeez, so sorry! Do you have any working diagnoses where you can search up anything? Regular osteoarthritis is helped by actually using the joints, so they produce more synovial fluids, but I didn’t know if it can help your condition.

    In a sane nation, universal health would be a no brainer.

      That would require my family to not be extremely tight-lipped about their medical history for no apparent reason. I know nothing beyond general descriptions and a few common names of conditions to watch put for (diabetes, heart, blood pressure, “endocrine issues”) despite explicitly asking for purposes of testing with a doctor. That and I haven’t been to a PCP since I was in high school (maybe longer). I’ll get there… eventually.

      Oh, and im fat; not like, mobility scooter stereotype, but i could stand to lose a good 40-50 pounds. Legs and arms are actually fairly muscular, its all torso.

        I can’t tell you anything you haven’t already heard. Buy the most healthy food you can afford, walk a little bit each day. I lost about 20 pounds in a month simply by switching from sweetened beverages to water, but that’s also because I drank sugar all day.
