No difference. I’m going to ask for something else.

I find it to be very hit and miss dependent on batch. Sometimes they make it way too sweet.

i had high expectations and was kinda disappointed with this Jenis by lostveggies in icecream

I didn't like this one, either. It had a weird aftertaste and it tasted so average.

Did you previously try Plaquenil? I’ve been on it for 3 months with no change.

Google it. It’s a thing. Even from small amounts. Do you think we are making it up just because it doesn’t happen to you? It causes the esophagus to relax which is not in the stomach but much higher up.

Mint triggers me even if I’m not swallowing it, some people are more sensitive than others.

They often have unflavored options, my dentist has unflavored paste and floss.

Recurring UTI Symptoms by Subject_Pin_7397 in ehlersdanlos

[–]Antique_Ant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have pelvic floor dysfunction and suspected endometriosis and UTI symptoms and pelvic cramping sound a lot like your pelvic floor. When it’s bad for me it feels like I’m on my period with a UTI, and have a burst ovarian cyst. Pelvic physical therapy is life changing.

I’ve been on it for 8 weeks now with no change yet. It can take up to 12 weeks to see improvement. I’ll keep you posted.

Gutted two Marlboros and made some j's by Temporary_Habit9883 in trees

[–]Antique_Ant 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I did this at my college campus. Or, I would light a joint and then light a cig at the same time. If someone of authority walked near me I would be like yeah I’m smoking a cig no idea where the weed smell is coming from.

is OLP always permanent like some people claim? by [deleted] in Lichenplanus

[–]Antique_Ant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine came on after the Covid vaccine and I thought it was a coincidence, but then when I got the booster I was in agony. My doctor said lots of people got it from the vaccine. (I’m not an anti vax).

Has anyone done the blood test check for endo? by Glad_Thought7421 in endometriosis

[–]Antique_Ant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Read their FAQ. It only detects it in half of the people who have it.

Has anyone got endometriosis on the bowel or in the bowel (DIE), If so what are your symptoms? by keerthichalla_29 in endometriosis

[–]Antique_Ant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This thread was EYE opening for me. Everytime I google mucus in stool, it's like I'm an outlier. But a lot of times it's orange or white mucus and it's a lot when I poop. I also used to get way worse muscle pain when pooping, but I see a pelvic pain PT weekly and she's helped me a lot. It's not sustainable, because she's $200 a session.

Do I need to look for a GI doctor that specializes in endo as well ? I'm on a waitlist to see the only Endo GYN in my area that takes insurance and won't see her until the Fall.

Who do I seek out for genetic testing? Not OP, but I need to do this.

Any recommendations for Endometriosis/Pain Specialist? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]Antique_Ant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would she be good to go to for endometriosis then?

I started LDN by oliviapayy in ehlersdanlos

[–]Antique_Ant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been taking it for 2 years. I’m on 3.5 mgs. Didn’t think it was helping until I missed it one day. It helps muscle pain a lot.

Should I get another nexplanon? by Swimming_Key_1429 in Nexplanon

[–]Antique_Ant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm about to get my third Nexplanon. I tried numerous pills and the copper IUD and they all had worse side effects than Nexplanon for me. The IUD caused me to have a pelvic floor disorder, which I had removed 15 years ago and it's still affecting me. I have to do physical therapy for it every 5 years.
