No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I don't feel non-drugged until well after 6 PM. I'm sleeping very well. I even tried caffeine pills and even caffeine doesn't budge the "just come to under general anesthesia" feeling. I've been under before, and that retch-y feeling is the same. People have also noticed that I'm moving slowly. I don't drink alcohol, so this isn't a hangover. It started rather gradually but is getting worse.

Someone suggested it could be low b12, but I've been having the sublingual spray for months and there's no improvement.

Am I just getting old and this is something I'm gonna have to put up with for the rest of my life?

Go πŸ‘ see πŸ‘ the πŸ‘ doctor πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

[–] CallMeAl@piefed.zip 28 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This identical story was posted months ago. At the time OP argued with everyone saying a doctor can't help. Just argued with every suggestion.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Yeah they kept insisting that women over 30 are geriatric and that this was normal. It was bizarre.

[–] CallMeAl@piefed.zip 11 points 6 days ago (2 children)

This new account is the one who posted a week ago the repeat post refusing to believe that any woman enjoys sex. OP claims they always experience debilitating penetrative pain during exams and any other attempts at penetration. There they also argued with anyone who said to see a doctor because it is not normal.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)

That makes me even more convinced this is a troll posing as a woman in order to bolster misogynistic tropes about women.

[–] CallMeAl@piefed.zip 5 points 6 days ago

That is my suspicion as well.

Because some men fucking suck and want to confirm their sexist beliefs about women. Or they suck and want to troll by pretending to be a dumb, old woman to help push that women act this way.

[–] fatcat@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 6 days ago

I still think this is because those posts get high engagement. I have seen another post recently not about woman i could have sworn i have seen before, but Lemmy being Lemmy there is no real way to recover deleted things (without setting my own instance). But why hunting a high amount of upvotes when upvotes really don't matter... I don't know.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

rfk junior at it again pretending he's a scientist

[–] Tiral@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Well at some point it just turns into trolling.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

Exactly. The other post they made was more clear that they were making a commentary on women aging past 30 and how we’re worthless and old.

[–] kalpol@lemmy.ca 30 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Do you have a carbon monoxide monitor? If not, get one ASAP.

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 19 points 6 days ago

+1, this sounds like a medical issue and not at all typical aging

[–] normalentrance@lemmy.zip 23 points 6 days ago

Seriously, go to a doctor. That's not normal.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 23 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Did you have covid? Long covid has made people lethargic and I have some friends who only recently fully recovered.

Either way this is serious issue and you should see a doctor. This is not normal aging.

[–] Funkt4st1c@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago (2 children)

"Is it normal to feel completely different all the time from how ive felt before"

Ragebait used to be believable. Tinfoil hat says this is a misogyny bot

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago

Women becoming decrepit and old at 30 years is such an unbelievable trope these days.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

You see this quite a lot though, "I woke up and my arm had fallen off, is this normal or should I go to the hospitals", in the past when it was on reddit it was usually engagement farming not really sure what the point of that here is.

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Omg go to the fucking doctor?!? No "could be B12 but I've been getting supplements" NO. Wtaf are you doing? If it's not B12 you would know because the doctor checked and your b12 was normal. Wtf are you doing asking the internet?

[–] db_null@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Do you have to communicate like this?!

It could be sleep apnea. It could be allergies (sometimes you acquire them later in life). Could be that aliens are abducting you late at night and taking turns batting your titties around and you have amnesia about it.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 10 points 6 days ago

No that is not normal at all.

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Are you living alone? Start seeing doctors.

Are you living with one or more people? Start seeing the police. (edit: and then doctors)

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

could be anemia, women gets them alot from periods. you definitely needs some blood test to check your: full blood panel. probably check a1c, glucose, ,,,etc. B12 deficiency is unlikely unless you went full vegan or have some disorder, like celiacs, or rarely a tapeworm.

as other said, you could have a thyroid problem, probably autoimmune of the thyroid.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 6 days ago

Get a physical.

[–] mholiv@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Do you get your kicks out of this? Why do you keep on making new accounts and trying to frame misogynistic tropes?

No. Start learning about the gut microbiome. https://humanmicrobiome.info/

It's normal for your hormones and blood chemistry to change over time, especially as you get further and further from your easily recoverable childhood, when a good night's sleep solved most problems.

Talk to your doctor, get some bloodwork done, and see where your levels are. It's likely that a bit of adjustment will do the trick.
