Ngl, within the pharmacology thing because they keep changing shit literally every year there's never an exact treatment. Next year autism could have a level 4 or a 2 1/2 because of symptoms people notice woo-hoo treatment plans will change and then you might not be able to get the same treatment you currently have now because insurance will want you to be diagnosed with a lower level of autism and you'll be shit out of luck.
Or you could be like me who's being treated for autism with medical cannabis and you're 33 and you don't have a psychiatrist and you have really bad adhd but no one will treat you for the adhd because of the cannabis.
I mean honestly some days I wish I could fucking die because if I was being treated I would be able to focus on a lot more than I am now and I'd probably be where I want to be financially or at least feel stable in life.
Oh well, I better put on that reward system and bake some cookies and whenever I do a fuckin' good job I should just eat a fuckin' cookie kind like how I used to smoke cigarettes and whenever I did a good job I'd smoke a cigarette.
Come on we try it. It ends up in addiction or fooling ourselves. 🤦🏻♂️
i'm not trying to one-up you, but chronic pain is really fun when your cannabis doesn't cut it too. i've given myself finger quotes adhd as a coping method for that.
Tmj, sciatica, shoulder pain. Muscle relaxers for the tmj sciatica is part of odd fusing and tmj is stress induced. Shoulders are just naturally fucked from being lanky.
Ibuprofen is a friend 😑
I have the fatal butt disease so I only get to take that when I have a sunburn. Speaking of which, this is legally not medical advice but a dermatologist told me once that when you geta sunburn, the damage is from inflamed skin. So if you take like 600mg ibuprofen (a low prescription dose) and slather on another round of sunscreen as soon as you notice yourself burning, you don't burn. Still gotta watch for the fatal skin disease tho.
That's the only occasion I allow myself to take nsaids (outside of naproxen for migraines, other story). My doctors are amazed I'm still alive.
