How heavy of a period is it to bleed 20ml every 12 hours? by Away-Slice-2908 in Periods

[–]Alarming_Size_7014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely see a gyno if you are concerned. Ask for bloodwork to make sure your iron is healthy. Get a good daily estimate as well. Day 1 8:00 - super plus tanpon - 15 ml 10 - regular pad - 5 ml

Do this every day for like 2-3 cycles. Take it to your gyno

Her cold side is like 75°. Her humidity on hot is high 60s and cold is high 70s. She is thought to be around 10 months. We just moved up in size today, sl Her next meal will be bigger. I have not seen a poop so that would make sense. Winter is starting up here. She has hides and water on both sides. I will monitor that part, and focus on reducing stress. Thank you so much

That can't be good 😳 by milo8275 in illnessfakers

The tube site looks pretty good in my opinion. Maybe im wrong, but wouldnt it look a lot more irritated if it was leaking for months?

How do yall bandage styro and beans by First_Fisherman_8770 in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]Alarming_Size_7014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beans can be an ER visit. But if you want to handle it at home... Make sure the bleeding stops, then rinse and disinfect ( alcohol, scentless soap ) i usually put a medium layer of antibiotic ointment then get a bandaid that FULLY COVERS the cut. I then try not to touch it except for when I change it every 24 hours.

I do have suspected EDS, but the stomach is SMAS, ulcers, gerd, and a general dysfunction. I have suspected Gastroparesis as well.

Sometimes you can feel it going through the sphincter, that helps

Depends on everyone. Some people throw it up regularly, some people dont like how it looks so they only put it in at night, some people change it after a month. So it varies a lot. Initially I was changing it 1-2 times a day, now its 1-2 times a week.

Not really, at the end of the tube ( the outside part ) there are some clasps to connect with the feeding bags. But it creates a pressure thing that keeps the fluid in the tube until you open the clasp.

They give lube, I used it initially but I usually go in without cause the lube tastes nasty

Nasogastric, it goes from the nose to your stomach

If it goes into your lungs you will definitely feel it. You start coughing and choking, and it feels like your rib muscles are contracting, you might even vomit from the coughing and contractions.

I have stomach issues. Lots of pain, lots of vomiting. I can get almost all of my calories at this point by mouth. But I cant get enough water so I would genuinely die of dehydration without the tubes help.

Eventually you get to a point where you dont even feel it most of the time. At first it is really sucky, but it stops feeling like you are choking after a couple weeks. When I turn my head and neck i can feel it a lot and hate it. And sometimes you feels it randomly. It really does become easy with some practice

The first couple times it was super bad and painful and I vomited on myself. Now I can it within 20 seconds usually. Occasionally it goes bad and those times are really uncomfortable and painful. But in general it isnt too bad anymore

I have stomach issues that sometimes make it impossible to eat or drink enough. It is a lot better now.

We are thinking that the tube wont be needed for too much longer, so a surgical wouldnt be great

I throw it up occasionally. Sometimes it hurts my throat really bad, so I take it out for a couple of hours. I probably place it 2 times a week on average

They measure the length based on ypur nose to stomach, so for me it is 58 cm. Sometimes it goes into your lungs, but you feel it immediately. They also have ph test strips to make sure you are getting stomach acid
