  • The digestive issues depend on the amount I eat. A handful of greens, no problem. 100 grams, mild wind and slight diarrhoea. A larger amount, all night endless wind and worse diarrhoea. And mushrooms are pretty much a no-go. I'll just try slightly increasing my veg intake until I find an acceptable amount.

    Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into it.

  • I was found to have a B12 deficiency years ago, I've been getting B12 shots for ages. They did check my B12 level anyway and it's really high now, 1077. So I think I'll take a break from the B12 for a while since that gives me migraines too.

  • Like what? I know there is injectable folate but even injectable B12 gives me migraines.

  • They do refuse. I spoke with the GP a few days ago when she was telling me my blood test results and telling me she was prescribing me a folate supplement. I told her about how vitamin supplements trigger my migraines and she said "Well, that's multivitamins. This is something specific that you need." I tried explaining that it's not multivitamins that trigger migraines, it's everything, even prescribed ones for specific issues but she just refused to listen. I think the only migraine safe thing is to trial and error a supplement-free diet that pretty much hits all nutritional requirements. Of course this totally depends on mutual aid continuing to come to my rescue with supermarket gift cards because even aside from the difficulties in accessing the food bank, I'll never be able to get the items I need from the food bank. There are always so many challenges to overcome for every little thing, it's just exhausting.

  • Nothing wrong with that! Life is miserable, why not make it better for a moment.

  • The rest of the internet is bad, like real fucking bad, this place and lemmygrad and trueanon (when they're not saying shitty stuff) are like the only good normal healthy places left online.

  • On most of reddit you can't say anything, no matter how innocuous, without people trying to tear you down and argue about it. You could say "People need to breathe oxygen to survive" and you would get downvoted and argued with. The only thing reddit is good for is the threads about creepy experiences and glitches in the matrix, I still read reddit for that alone.

  • Ugh. My landlady's husband was like this. They don't live together, only visit each other once a year but the idiot, knowing I'm immunocompromised, came down during covid, spent time here and then when he was leaving said he thought he had covid, he already had the symptoms before coming here but decided to come anyway. Some people are just selfish to the point of evil.

  • I feel you. I've been living in a cloud of brain fog since I got thyroid cancer. How long has it been going on? have you had any blood tests? Could be thyroid, vitamin deficiencies or various other things.

  • I don't know about the hair, but we'll see. I know my vitamin D is also low - and that can cause hair loss - because I stopped taking the vitamin D pills I was prescribed as they were giving me headaches. These folate pills are giving me horrible headaches too, so I think I need to stop. Folate is in green veg, which tends to give me gastric disturbances, so I'll experiment and see how much more I can eat without getting too much wind or diarrhoea. Why can't anything just be easy? I love veg and would gladly eat a lot if it didn't affect me badly.

  • I got my blood test results. I have a folate deficiency, which is likely what's causing my symptoms. Probably caused by my diet as I have so many food intolerances now as a result of my cancer treatment that there are very few things I can eat without getting ill. Combined with eating less of the things I can eat because I'm always trying to make the food vouchers people give me last as long as possible as it often takes many attempts to get a response. The problem is, vitamin pills are migraine triggers for me, and the pills the doctor prescribed have given me a headache so I don't think i can take them. Everything is impossible. I guess I'll just have to try and eat more of the things I can eat after all.

  • I don't know how to do that. Maybe a mod can do it. I don't understand the point though, the cw would still contain the word suicide, presumably?

  • It was kind of hilarious, the bloke was clearly out of it. I guess I look like a tramp though.

  • I went to the shop today and as I was outside an extremely drunk man came staggering along. He stopped, looked me up and down and got a huge grin on his face and yelled, "HA! I've got more money than you!" And then staggered off. I've never seen him before in my life, I guess I must just look really poor. It did give me a laugh though, at least.
