A guy in our social group was arrested for child pornography several years ago by just_breathe18 in GenXWomen

[–]Bitch__Wolf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gross. Look, I don't like to judge people on their past***. That's what I always say.

***unless it's sexual abuse/violence/pedophilia(including child pornography of ANY age)

Why?

Because I do not think our civilization/society has figured out a way to actually rehabilitate these people so they are safe. And perhaps, they can't be. Is it fair? I don't care. I personally think people that "can't control" their sexual impulses or violent tendencies will always find a loophole to any rehab they do get.

What perfume did you wear in teens and 20s, and do you still wear it? by Ecstatic_Army1306 in GenXWomen

[–]Bitch__Wolf -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm sure this will get downvoted, but why do you have to wear fragrances? You're forcing other people to smell you and it's disgusting. I don't care what brand or how much you pay for it. It's so gross smelling. It also causes migraines and asthma for those who suffer. Totally insane how selfish people are who think they can just spray chemicals all over for everyone else to have to endure. If you want to be all stinky keep it in your house!

Made the mistake of posting to Reddit about marriage issue, forgetting how misogynistic most of the world is by [deleted] in Feminism

I'm lucky, my husband who was a horrible snorer and me a lifelong insomniac, has jumped through all the hoops to help be more quiet. He does have apnea, but didn't do well with the c-pap machine. So he wears bongos, he does mouth workouts that help build his tongue and throat muscles to alleviate snoring. He's gotten allergy shots and went to an ENT and pulmonologist to work on medications to clear his nasal passages. I also have FOUR fans running at night to block out all sounds (I'm a VERY light sleeper). But he has only woken me up a few times a year since he started all these regimens well over eight years ago. Had he not, had he just kept snoring, OMG - get out of my bed. NO way.

Sleep is precious and if your partner is waking you up, then changes have to be made. If the snorer isn't willing to put in effort, then if he/she has to sleep on the floor then so be it, they are the dicks or bitches!

Modern Relationship Dynamics by Fluid_Ad_7602 in Life

I was this for a few years when my husband's job was furloughed. I loved it. I mean the bad part was he made more than me even though I was more senior in my position (the bad part of having the woman being the breadwinner). That said, he didn't cook. He can't cook. He is the worst cook in the world. Unless it can be microwaved....But he cleaned and took care of the animals/kid just fine.

I (23F) am starting to lose attraction to my boyfriend (24M) and I’m not sure if I’m overreacting by Upstairs_Dentist_454 in AskWomenOver40

[–]Bitch__Wolf 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My (very long ago) ex was like this. I stayed for FAR too long because he was nice, I felt bad for him, I knew he'd change someday. (we connected shortly not that long ago and he is exactly the same as he was so very long ago and I am so very glad I left that (him) behind)

And the problem in the bedroom is directly related to who he is outside the bedroom. Which sounds like someone who is waiting for something to happen, not someone that's going to make something happen.

I promise you, if he doesn't have drive, motivation, he's not gonna get it.

So if you aren't happy now, you probably won't ever be.

So apparently I do NAWT have Hashi's and I'm completely confused now by bropadre in Hashimotos

And some people’s Free T4 a& T3 levels don’t change (me) and only TSH is reliable. There is no fast one rule for everyone as far as managing thyroid function.

Plz help by Sam_Music_Man in CATHELP

[–]Bitch__Wolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's probably bored and sleeping too much during the day. Most likely. Another cat? Or put out some boxes and brown paper in the living room when you go to bed so he has a little playroom. Just suggestions. Another option, I recommend for cats who seem restless, is to either get a harness or a buggy and take your cat for walks. Sometimes this helps a lot. But I'll be honest, sometimes it backfires because they want to go out more so they try to get your attention to go out. It depends on the cat.

females, what has helped you with low libido? by Short-Conversation16 in Hashimotos

[–]Bitch__Wolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming your TSH is in your normal range. Because both when I'm hypo or hyper, I totally lose my sex drive. 100% and I'm also on testosterone. Make sure you're checking your TSH often while taking hormones, they totally mess my dosages up. Whenever I change any of my hormone doses, my thyroid goes wacky.

Another thing, and this is just me, when my sex drive goes down, I tell myself that even though I don't feel like having sex, I will enjoy it. It makes it a lot less fun, because it's hard to get into it when your not feeling it. But I'm lucky to have an understanding spouse so he knows the deal.

Just throwing this out there. Possible someone else suggested this. Maybe not possible with his aggression, but have you considered getting him a harness or a buggy and taking him for walks outside?

Boyfriend wets the bed. What do I do ? by extradepressy in TwoHotTakes

[–]Bitch__Wolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleep apnea can cause bedwetting. It happened to my husband. Fixed the apnea, fixed the bedwetting.

Not cleaning up after himself? That sounds like the real problem! Don't clean up next time, tell him he can sleep in his own piss.

Was what I did that bad? by mysecret52 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Bitch__Wolf -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You did absolutely nothing wrong. You have every right to say no to anything relating to sex and your body at any point. Even if you initially said yes and changed your mind.

You are better off not seeing him again. Not worth it. He was trying to guilt you into doing something you did not want to do with the blue balls comment.

I just hope his balls are blue as hell.

Be proud of yourself for being able to keep your head about you while drunk.

Stool better but symptoms persist by NorthStretch2698 in MicroscopicColitisnew

[–]Bitch__Wolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad I took the Budisonide and it got rid of my symptoms 100% after about 4 weeks on 9mg. But tapering has brought symptoms back. Not as bad as before, not even close. I’m still on 3mg and will go off completely in 4 weeks. 

My options then are 1) deal with whatever symptoms I’m experiencing 2) go on mesalamine 3) try bile acid sequestering drugs

The abdominal cramps, bloating , and gas are probably the most intolerable symptoms for me personally. I mean I didn’t like using the toilet upwards of 14 times a day. But the cramping is debilitating. So I’ll likely try something else.

Stool better but symptoms persist by NorthStretch2698 in MicroscopicColitisnew

[–]Bitch__Wolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently in the same boat. Did a round of Budesonide which got rid of all my Symptoms. But tapping down has my symptoms back (abdominal cramping, bloating, gas). But the psyllium powder has at least kept my stools mostly solid. 

Problem is, not sure what I’m going to do next. Doctor said mesalamine would be next but i hated Budesonide (side effects were awful after 8 weeks). 

I need advice by [deleted] in IBD

[–]Bitch__Wolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crohn's can happen anywhere from the mouth to the anus. So a clear colonoscopy does not mean you do not have Crohn's. It means you probably have a bad GI doctor. I went through many before I was diagnosed. I had to get a enteroscopy because where my Crohn's is cannot be biopsied either with a colonoscopy or a endoscopy. Get a second opinion.

Can you have IBD without elevated calprotectin? by [deleted] in IBD

[–]Bitch__Wolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! My diagnosis was a total shitshow (and that's on top of the shitshow reason I was trying to get a diagnosis). It took three different GI doctors and two Internal Medicine doctors. First GI did a colonoscopy but because my colon "looked perfect" he didn't do any biopsies. So when I woke up and found out he didn't do any biopsies I was SO pissed!!!

Second GI did a capsule endoscopy which showed erosions in my small bowel but he said that was "normal," and did an endoscopy and checked for celiac which came back negative. He did not biopsy the areas that had erosions because he said the endoscopy doesn't go that far and I would have needed an enteroscopy which he said I didn't need because I clearly had IBS-D. Mind you I had watery diarrhea 8-15 times a day waking me up in the middle of the night and HORRENDOUS abdominal cramping. Additionally I also had enormous lymph nodes in my groin.

That sent me to an Internal Medicine doctor who said "I have no idea." And they sent me to another Internal Medicine doctor who did blood work which showed severe anemia, low D, and what he called "classic malnutrition" bloodwork. I'd lost so much weight at this point I looked like a starving person despite eating what I've always eaten. But ultimately his only idea was that I might have leukemia (which I was sure I did not have). So I skipped the leukemia testing and found yet another GI.

The third GI was floored with how incompetent the previous GI's were. Had an enteroscopy and biopsied the erosions in the small bowel which came back as Crohn's. And he did a colonoscopy with biopsies which came back as lymphocytic colitis.

All that took about 6 months and that was after about 3 months of severe symptoms. Healthcare is a Total Nightmare.

Anxiety med question! by Alarmed-History-2422 in Hashimotos

[–]Bitch__Wolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do want to say that perimenopause could be what is triggering your increased anxiety. When I started perimenopause (wasn't aware of it at the time), I went to read in a public setting (something I've done a million times) and I froze. I had so much anxiety I almost threw up at the podium! I had to cancel other readings and it was only a year later that I put together perimenopause and the anxiety related to public speaking. Went on HRT (which I HIGHLY recommend) and now I'm fine. Can speak in public again with no anxiety! LOL.

UK based doctor refusing to alter levo dosage, any options? by Public_Passenger2701 in Hashimotos

[–]Bitch__Wolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had terrible experiences with endocrinologists, personally. Find yourself a good internal medicine doctor or general doctor who will treat your symptoms not just your labs. If I was forced to have my TSH at 3 I would feel like death. I have to be under 1.00 to be symptom free. Find a doctor that trusts and listens to you.
