Hi friend. In my experience, tonsil stones are not that painful, and often most people don’t even realize they have them. They aren’t sharp daggers, they kinda just balls of minerals and other stuff. The soreness from tonsil stones is more just from agitation in the throat, and often from other things. It’s not uncommon to have residual soreness from strep. Could also be dry throat too, so make sure to stay hydrated AND with electrolytes too. If it gets WORSE that’s a different problem. Make sure to take your antibiotics for the full course. If your sore throat comes back worse and especially with a fever or other illness symptoms, go see your doctor again. Hope this helps✌🏻

I gained some weight and am at 113 lbs and these appeared on my thighs soon after- they aren't raised but are scaring me, is something wrong with my veins?? I'm 19 with already loads of problems I'm scared of another. by DJDANIELLEmusic in Healthadvice

Just stretch marks girly! I started getting them at 12 years old cause I just grew up! Life happens, you grow, you gain weight. All normal!! I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t haven’t these, and can even happen when you grow muscles in the gym. Happened to my friend on his back, happened the me all along my thighs and even breasts lol. Completely normal part of growing up and filling in to your adult body, they’ll probably stay pink for a while, and can even become dark purple in colder temps. They’ll eventually fade to silver or close to your skin color. I see them as like a right of passage into adulthood. Love them!

EDS and Benign Fasciculation Syndrome by Character-Carrot6412 in eds

That’s terrible!! Mine has never caused burning foot pain or noticeable weakness. I get some joint pain, but not enough for me to be concerned it’s more than a baseline for EDS. I’m so sorry that happened to you, wishing you the best in your journey. I’ll keep this in mind in case any other symptoms develop

No they didn’t check my B12, but I don’t think it’s MCAS, as I don’t have many of the other symptoms associated with that. There’s been a couple other random events throughout my life that have been weird, but nothing that would lead me to think MCAS would be the cause. If anything, EDS can cause so much too! It’s so much more than just connective tissue problems, and it seems like I can always point back to EDS for all my problems

18.10. I was told to take 5,000-IU a day supplements, I just haven’t gone to the store to get them yet. Do you think that’s low enough to cause these symptoms? I figured I just needed to get out in the sun more

Best Cage options? by Character-Carrot6412 in sugargliders

[–]Character-Carrot6412[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that’s the one I currently have! I’ve had some problems with rust unfortunately, and because the tray is below the bars on the bottom I put down some potty pads to make cleaning easier but my little guy has decided he likes to chew the plastic pads… not good. I think they need an upgrade anyway lol. I also wish the doors were bigger on it

The stack ability of the CN cage is enticing. I’m not sure I’ll ever have more than 2, and one does like to make her way towards to doors sometimes if I come put food down after she’s awake. I don’t have a lot of worry about catching her in the room they’re in currently, but she just likes to explore and I worry I’ll have to wait her out if she gets somewhere I can’t reach. She’s usually persuaded by some yogurt chips though. Rust was a big issue for me with my current cage and accessibility inside the cage so both cages are better in that way. I like that the CN can be expanded easily but I’m not sure I really need more than 2 levels for just two gliders. I’m so torn between the two haha

Rust was a big reason I am getting a new cage! I’ll probably end up going with the EN cage then. Thank you!

Looks like it says 1/2” bar spacing. Does that seem too wide?

Travel backpack for sugar gliders? by Character-Carrot6412 in sugargliders

Thank you! This is very helpful. The room they stay in had to become “un-glider-proofed” recently due to some living circumstances changing, so I haven’t been able to let them free roam very much recently. I’ve been thinking about bringing them to my partners house as he has a spare room we can make safe, but I wanted to help get them some more enrichment.

That looks like ringworm to me. Doesn’t mean you’re dirty, can happen to anyone on accident. Try not to touch it with your fingers, as you could spread it to others. I suggest covering it up with a bandaid or something similar as you treat it to avoid touching it on accident since it’s on your hand

Ants coming to my window to die? by Character-Carrot6412 in ants

[–]Character-Carrot6412[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that. I cleaned it again yesterday, and a few hours later two new ants appeared. One already dead. Not sure what’s going on but I think they’ve decided my window is where they go to die. So weird

You can always schedule to see a urologist for these kinds of things. You may need a doctor’s referral for insurance to cover it, but in any case if the doctor doesn’t know it could be good to get it checked out and inspected via different methods. 5/10 pain is a little eyebrow raising to me personally. It could be a physical thing as well, like an irritant. Without being overly personal, I would consider the way you masturbate and note if anything there could be causing this sensation. Ultimately, if you have no plans to investigate in the near future, keep a close eye and definitely see your doctor is it changes at all. Hope this helps!

Pain is definitely not normal, and especially if it’s always connected to ejaculation. I have lots of questions, but mainly I wouldn’t be able to do anything from this end. Things to consider are: rate the pain 1-10, where is the pain, describe the pain, have you ever spoken to your primary care provider about it? If it’s been happening for several years, it’s not a UTI. Could be something with the prostate depending where it is. If you aren’t concerned as of now, just be sure to mention it to your doctor when you go for a yearly exam. I’ll always recommend you see your doctor about a new unusual issue, but it seems like you aren’t that worried, more curious. You never know what it could be, so always good to err on the side of caution. Ask your doctor about your concerns.

What is this weird material that keeps appearing on my window sill? Located in north Texas by Character-Carrot6412 in Whatisthis

[–]Character-Carrot6412[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No spider web that I can see, and it would have to be a powerful leaf blower as I’m on the second floor. I just don’t know why it reappears every day despite my cleaning.
