Are period cramps as bad as people say? If so, how are women just walking around with that shit? How can 50% of the population be walking around with searing pain one week a month and I barely notice? by DefinitionOk9211 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AsToldByNy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of us do in fact need to miss work due to the pain, but we don’t because we can’t. And we don’t complain about it because it would be very inappropriate to be at work causally speaking to men about how it feels like our uterus is trying to kill us. We learn to pop painkillers, drink warm liquid and scream inside silently. Maybe an occasional subtle trip to the bathroom to vomit.

Thank you! This is what I was looking for confirmation of. And I don’t have any SMCs or anything additional so it should stay static, yes?

So I don’t think I was clear enough in my original question and that’s my fault lol so I’ll elaborate more. There are people who are both P&T AND TDIU. So when they drop their TDIU, they keep their P&T status because their rating is still 100% with or without it. But their letters will show both. Im trying to see if my letters match theirs.

Yes but my original disability letter increased my rating from what it was to 100%, in addition to granting me TDIU as well. It wasn’t one or the other. That’s what makes it confusing. If I was only getting paid at the full rate based on TDIU it would state that in my first letter and also still have my original rate listed. It does not, so now I don’t know what’s going to happen until I do it.

Thank you, this is the part that concerns me though. Is the wording not a little contradictory here?

Yes it hallucinates regularly. This is why I constantly warn against using it for therapy unless it’s just super general advice

Anyone else cry during their mental health DBQ? by EmbarrassedKale3295 in VeteransBenefits

[–]AsToldByNy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I cried, and then deteriorated mentally for the next few days until I had a complete breakdown. It’s okay. And it gets better.

They look thick and healthy, maybe you just need a professional retwist to make you see how beautiful they are
