For all the new folks, welcome! I generally make these threads every so often to check in on people, let people vent, or share cool news they have.
So, come on in! What's been going on with you lately? How are you feeling about it?
Remember, you are loved :stalin-heart:
As for myself, my partner's brain med switch is NOT going well at all. I've been trying my best to take care of them, but I know we just gotta wait this out. Other than that, my drummer seems to have calmed down after this weekend, and we're back to writing stuff. Getting the fuck out of this city for the rest of our summer shows. Beyond that, starting gabapentin today for my heart, and after having tried some from my partner, it seems to work decently! Also, I can get back to running today now that a foot blister has healed.
That doesn’t sound fun. It sounds similar to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy? That runs in my family. Luckily symptom-free so far, but I completely empathize with your situation, as every time my heart skips a beat I wonder if it’s because now I’m finally getting sick. (Mostly psychological for sure)
That’s great that you are able to run though. I’m sure you appreciate it more than most. 🙂
Well, I'm a corgi, so I need my exercise!
You know, my mom has/had a heart condition that starts with a T. Can't recall the name, but a few years ago when she got corrective surgery, suggested it might run in the family. Unfortunately, I can only afford to fix my brain or body, not both at the same time, so I've chosen to focus on my brain this summer with therapy and a psychiatrist.
