Oof, doxycycline on an empty stomach - did that once, had to call out sick, which I never do.
You mention ticks - doxy for Lyme?
Yep
I foolishly wore wide-leg cargo pants while playing outside with my dog and didn't apply bug spray 🤦
Mint ice cream. Works every time.
This is kinda genius, thank you! I love ice cream. I bet there's some good minty almond or coconut ice cream in town 🤔
One of my keenest childhood associations is mint ice cream and antibiotics, so I hope it works well for you. I haven't had antibiotics in a while so I don't have immediate recs for a vegan one, but I think all the brands I can get around here have at least one mint variety. If you find a good one let me know!
I will ❤️ thank you very much for the suggestion!
It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc
“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”
So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned
1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them
2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence
2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals
3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.
3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith
4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!
