Yeah I believe it does to an extent which is also why you never really dream when you smoke but have intense dreams when you stop

But it doesn't completely prevent rem just kinda like

Lessens it if that makes sense

Makes sense to me.

@Zyzz In terms of rehabbing your ankle- calf raises and toe ups (sit down and extend your ankle as high as you can and hold for a second) can help strengthen the muscles around it to reduce your risk of re-injuring it

Can confirm ^ do this every day

@Ch-- Wow! That makes perfect sense. My gf smokes every night before bed (I wish she wouldn't) but the few nights when she does not, she has really bad dreams. She has a rough past and dreams about that sometimes. Is there any advice you can give? Should she stop? What are potential health risks?

Was she smoking weed a lot before the dreams started?

Oh yeah

She used to smoke multiple times a day but since she met me only does it before bed

So when she first started having bad dreams she was smoking at that time in her life right?

I would say so. But what I know for certain is that when she did not smoke before bed, she woke up scared and had a dream that her ex drugged her and beat her

There's a chance they'll calm down to an extent after she completely stops, gotta ease into it as it does make dreams more intense when you first stop smoking but eventually they get calmer, other than that I don't know all too much about the psychology of dreams, but you should suggest she tries not smoking for a week or two and see if the dreams are less intense than when she stops only for a couple nights

Ok. and would you recommned stopping for overall health benefits

If not it'd probably be a good idea to see a (((psychiatrist))) about it, suppressing them with weed every night is a horrible idea if that becomes the intent

Yes

And psychological benefits

Ok. Thanks a lot.

Smoking that often isn't good

No prob

Yeah I'm not a fan.

Especially if shes going to have my kids someday

Yeah exactly

Also if she uses nicotine that will be contributing to making her dreams worse

Oh. Well she doesnt do that. If she smoked cigarettes I would not be with her.

Good man

cigs are not very lady like

What's the medical opinion on smoking tobacco from a pipe?

It's cool looking. 😎

Everything from this book is probably available online for free but hey it was $1 from a garage sale and it's from 1982 so why not

Yes because the internet doesn't always work!

@Pat-MA sounds like she's self medicating for some PTSD type symptoms. She needs to be in therapy at least, the data on ssri are kind of shitty and without knowing her I can't judge risk/benefit but therapy for sure would benefit her.

@Deleted User be careful, lot of out of date stuff in there. If you want a more recent one you can likely find a PDR or few year old Harrison's, Cecil's, Stanford that would be much more useful

@Deleted User thanks for the info man

Any time, feel free to dm questions if you need to

Anyone @here want to go over some stuff our medics could learn from this mass cas event?

is #1 don't try to do CPR in a wheel barrow?

I'm no medic, but know how to deal with tournequttes and sucking chest wounds

@Deleted User yea, I'd say so. @Deleted User that's probably what was needed most in this event, but would you carry either during a concert?

well, most tournequttes are easily fashionable of clothes n stuff, but being able to deal with the latter, I'm not sure you can really do that with clothes haha

Not playing stump the chump, but it's not something I'd carry, and if I did maybe one of each.
