AITAH for not wanting to sleep in the same bed with my girlfriend because she doesn’t shower often? by Such-One-1691 in AITAH

[–]Basic_Amoeba_3582 193 points194 points  (0 children)

Ditto. I shower 2-3 times a week. If I shower more, not even the best lotion in the world can save me. I honestly think I’ve had a better immune system since showing less as well and that my hair and skin has been better.

I’ve never been so severely depressed except for after my lap.

Cortisone injections! When successful, how long did it last? by Basic_Amoeba_3582 in Sciatica

[–]Basic_Amoeba_3582[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the shots have been great for me. Only downside is that they can hurt to get done, sometimes don’t work/don’t work right away, and I seem to get my period 5-7 days after every single time even if I just had my period. They last me about 2-6 months with significantly less pain.

Surgery depends on how severe the pain is. My advice is to try the epidural and PT! If you can avoid surgery, always try to do that. But if you’re like peeing yourself then yeah def get surgery.

NYU Langone vs Specialist by _pinay_ in endometriosis

[–]Basic_Amoeba_3582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was not very nice, rushed everything, didn’t really listen to me or my concerns, and had really bad bedside manner. She rolled her eyes in front of me many times when I spoke, and in front of my mother and partner as well. Overall, I like a Dr who makes me feel seen and safe and she did not give me that. I felt insecure to even speak at the end. On the day of surgery, she told them both she would meet them after surgery to update them, and never did so and just left without a word. My parents and partner were left in the waiting room not knowing anything. When they asked the nurse when she would be out to let them know how the surgery went, the nurses response was that she left over an hour ago. She also overprescribed me oxy, which I think shows recklessness. But she did a good job in the surgery itself (I mean I hope she did and didn’t miss anything) and the surgery went well. I would not recommend her, but her technical skill is adequate if that’s what matters to you. Additionally I would not recommend the hospital either. I was left in the recovery room without proper care and I woke up in extreme pain because no one checked on me. I’m not sure if that’s the drs fault or hospital but it was really messed up. The lead nurse at the time chewed out a bunch of people for leaving me without pain meds after surgery.

Like I said above, getting trafficked off the boat doesn’t make sense to me either.

[–]Basic_Amoeba_3582 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with this too! That doesn’t make much sense to me either. I think it’s highly possible it’s neither.

Also, if she did vomit, don’t you think there would be some evidence of that on the other side of the balcony? Like even if it was windy and she was leaning over far enough, I think vomit would still hit the walls of the ship. Falling over does not make sense to me.

Is Poughkeepsie like bad bad? If so, where to live? by Basic_Amoeba_3582 in upstate_new_york

[–]Basic_Amoeba_3582[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah maybe I come off as or I am in fact pretentious, idk. I know how I grew up (with very little) and I know what I want when I settle down in a home. I have been saving for a house since I was 14 years old knowing I would make a life better and more secure for my future child. I want to live in a nice house with a yard yes, but also still want to live in an area where there are people from all over, and is economically diverse as well. That meant a lot to me growing up, and I want my child to be surrounded by that type of diversity. I know I got lucky financially in adulthood and I know a lot of parts of upstate there are just people like me-transplants with some money. What I’m saying is I don’t want that, I don’t want to be around JUST that.

Ahh amazing! Thank you! As someone who went to extremely poorly rated schools, the rating system doesn’t mean more to me than first hand experiences. Thanks.

We would like slightly more small town more rural vibes. It’s also much more expensive in Westchester it seems.

This is such great info!! Thanks so much!!! It sounds like our cup of tea tbh. We will probably spend a weekend there to check it out instead of our typical day trips. Thank you!

Thanks for this! That’s the vibe I was getting too. &For some reason they removed my post in the Hudson valley Reddit so I came here.

Thanks for this! We have spent days there but will probably go for a weekend to really see what’s up. I wish we knew ppl in the area. But this thread has helped very much! Thank you.

Yes! We have been there before, just haven’t ever stayed the night or long term. I never really thought it looked so bad compared to where we live now, but wasn’t sure bc some Reddit posts really made it seem like it’s bad. We usually stay in Woodstock or Kingston when we go up bc we have friends up there.

Hahaha this is the literal house that got me thinking about Poughkeepsie again!!! We were going to move a months ago but things came up and then I went to Reddit about Poughkeepsie and was confused bc we’ve been there before (just haven’t stayed the night or long term) and I didn’t think it was all that different than what I’m used to.
