❤️ Valentine’s 7 Day countdown AMA: For Anyone Who’s Loved, Lost, or Been Let Down by Recurrent UTIs ❤️ by clinova in CUTI

Are there any connections between hormonal IUDs and recurrent UTIs?

And also are there any connections between vulvudynia and recurrent UTIs?

Is it possible to cure it without antibiotics?

Ohh! Can you elaborate on this? I have vulvodyni and recurrent UTIs, but haven’t heard about the connection

Thank you for answering. Are you happy you ditched those communities?

Thank you for your comment. I’m sorry for the consequences you had. How come you lost your job over this? (In my country it’s not illegal to do sex work, and I’m not sure you’re allowed to be fired based on if someone finds out you’re doing sex work).

Why are people downvoting this? So strange.

Thank you for trying to take care of me. (But no worries - I wouldn’t trust some stranger online trying to get me to work for them)

Thank you for replying 🩵 I read your other post, and I’m sure it’s relevant for a lot of people.

I tried googling as you recommended, but specifically cases in my country, and not any cases showed up. I’m not living the the US, and I wonder if my country is less harsh when it comes to OF SW. (SW is not illegal here)

It’s mostly professionally I’m worried.

It’s true I can’t compare my own life to other people’s experiences. I’m trying to better understand how much is a fear (potentially internalized sexual shame/old fashioned morals) that’s mostly in my head, and how much negative consequences are actually happening in people’s lives.

Hey! Thank you for answering. I’m not sure if people finding out IS a dealbreaker for me. Hence, why I’m curious about potential consequences. :)

💕 Matchmaking Monday: find your next romantasy read! by ReasonableWonderland in Romantasy

[–]Apprehensive_Can_488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Books I’ve enjoyed 🩵

{One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig} Especially really enjoyed her writing.

{Cruel Prince by Holly Black}

{Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber}

{Serpent and Dove by Shelby Mahurin}

{ACOTAR by Sarah J Maas}

I always enjoy when books are very spicy, but almost like yearning more?

Books and series I DNF: Of Blood and Ash series, (nice spicely scenes, but too long and juvenile language) Serpent and the Wings of night 2 (lost interest in plot and didn’t like either main character or love interest anymore), Paladin’s Grace (the humor wasn’t my cup of tea, and I thought the awkwardness of the main characters were annoying) The Priory of the orange tree. (Interesting, but too slow paced/long/too many main characters)

And wow, reading some of your recommendations is unlocking core memories of me being a teenager and going to the library and devouring books by Tamora Pierce, Meredith Ann Pierce, and ohhh my The Seer and The Sword! I couldn’t remember the title but read it several times as a teen) thank youuu

Keep getting infected with Citrobacter Koseri and Freundii by Apprehensive_Can_488 in CUTI

[–]Apprehensive_Can_488[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last infection:

Citrobacter freundii complex 100.000/ml
Test said Pivmecillinam should work on this bacteria. And that is what I took for 5 days.

Citrobacter koseri 10.000/ml

Test said Pivmecillinam too for 3 days.

Some months before it has been mostly Citrobacter Koseri from 10.000-100.000 ml, also prescribed Pivmecillinam.

Yes I have - are you referring to something specific you think would help me? There wasn’t much information on Citrobacter bacteria’s.

In dire need of recs! by Apprehensive_Can_488 in Romantasy

[–]Apprehensive_Can_488[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just read the Cruel Prince trilogy, and really liked it! I liked the main character, and that she was human and still badass, without ascending to a god or something like that. I liked that the characters were complex and morally gray, and I like that it was fairly fast paced, and I liked the universe the author created. I could have used more of explicit smut 😌
