knee pain is killing me but i dont want to take painkillers
Quote from Dellshell on March 5, 2020, 12:55 pmHi everyone. I am so tired. My knees hurt every day now. I tried walking at Target last Saturday but had to stop after the clothing section. It was only 10 am and I was already limping. I do not want to take pills. I saw the price for extra strength ibuprofen and it was nine dollars for small bottle. That seems expensive. My grandson wants to play tag at park on Sunday. I do not want to say no but I know it will hurt too much. I tried heating pad but heat makes skin red and itchy. I put ice on them at night while watching tv but morning is same pain. Does anyone have good ideas?

Quote from Whispermere on February 19, 2020, 7:50 pmHonestly i just stopped apologizing for it. My auntie sat me down and said my body is mine not his obligation. Now i just say no clearly without over explaining. If they get mad that’s on them. Also make sure you’re not just burnt out from kitchen duty all week. Rest is valid. Keep your boundaries firm sis.

Quote from Dani2001 on January 21, 2020, 5:23 amsame here. mine said perimenopause but i feel like i have arthritis. hot flashes are crazy bad at night. i just drink cold water and take vitamin d. no help but at least dont get so angry with my husband. try wearing layers so you can take off when you get hot. just survive each day honestly.

Quote from natalie1988 on December 1, 2020, 8:42 pmi just switched to a basic pharmacy brand cleanser and one moisturizer. spend the rest of my budget on sunscreen. honestly my skin looks better when i stop overthinking it. the fancy serums were just making me break out from all the actives. keep it simple till it clears up. less is literally more. nobody needs eleven steps.

Quote from vineexpedition on August 23, 2020, 10:06 pmnah i would just tell her straight up. tell her its not our culture or tradition here. we don't do that kind of stuff in the house. its confusing for my kids too. just say no politely but firmly. dont let her push it. keep the space yours. if she keeps it up ask her to do it at her place or temple. boundary setting is key fam.

Quote from wildflower1966 on April 11, 2020, 5:10 amnah that sounds like he’s just trying to get away with being rude. i just tell my partner straight up that his tone is disrespectful and i won’t tolerate it. if he gets defensive then i know he’s not listening. i walk away until he can speak to me with basic respect. you’re not too sensitive for wanting to be treated right.

Quote from Kayla on September 6, 2021, 8:10 pmI feel you. At my age, I just dont want it either. My husband sleeps in the other room half the time and we are perfectly fine with that. I prefer cuddling on the couch watching tv without any pressure to perform. Life is too short to stress over something you dont need to do. Just relax and enjoy your time together.

Quote from Marie1993 on January 6, 2021, 8:10 amYeah totally. We just moved last month so I’m already running on fumes. Trying to settle in while keeping up with coursework is brutal. Im usually asleep by eight if I dont have a late class. My husband is deployed so its just me and the kids right now. Some days I just blank stare at the screen wondering how anyone keeps going. Coffee helps but only for about an hour.

Quote from Wavemarch on May 25, 2021, 2:38 amI stopped trying to manifest money long ago. Now I just grind. I budget tight, pick up extra shifts, and invest what I can. If I want a new car I save for it or work a second job. Manifesting felt like waiting for a check that never arrives. Real talk its about action not just vibes. I focus on what I can control today.
