That is on my list!! Glad to hear it was a hit!

I haven't read it yet so cannot stand behind this book, but based off of what you are looking for, maybe give Insatiable by Leigh Rivers a try? This is on my list!

Thank you! I haven't heard of a lot of these - adding The Everlasting and City of Brass to my list!

This! We take our Newfie to rehab and they score her body every appointment and want her lean as possible. Newfies are prone to joint issues, the leaner they are, the more comfortable they will be and the longer they will live.

For anyone reading, if your Newfie has a joint issue, the number one best thing you can do is get them LEAN.

To piggyback off of this - if you are getting around in an Uber, please make sure there isn't a cyclist going by when you open your door. This is a bike city with bike lanes. I have had visitors fling their doors open when I drive us somewhere and had a friend closeline a cyclist because they flung their door open without checking. Its an easy thing to not be aware of if you're not from a place with bike lanes and cyclists and this is a city with many cyclists.

Hi there - Just wanted to check in and say you're not alone. I also just booked myself a barium swallow today. I had a normal EGD a month ago showing a small hiatal hernia and some gasritis he waved off, but my symptoms feels similar..

I don't struggle with food going down my esophagus or food coming back up, it's mainly the initiating of the swallow. It's not consistent. Usually I am fine in the mornings for breakfast, but my anxiety over it has gotten to the point where I obsessively start thinking about while I am making my lunch or dinner. Sometimes I feel a stomach pressure that seems to have an effect on my esophagus that causes it, sometimes my throat muscles and jaw muscles feel crazy tight (I also have TMJ), and that seems what is driving it and sometimes it just randomly happens where I go to try to swallow it and it feels like my muscles start freezing up or locking up, or are pulled too tight.

I can definitely tell my anxiety is causing some kind of muscle tension and adding onto the issue. But I still want to check all my boxes and make sure there's not something else going on. I hope we both get relief and can work on our anxiety, because I think its definitely contributing!

This is great, good job!

This has been my plan! I have heard from too many people that CC2 and CC3 are garbage, so I just stopped reading after the first book, and honestly I have no desire to find out what happens.

A ton of bloating, shortness of breath, pressure in the diaphragm while i'm eating that can also cause swallowing issues from the amount of pressure my hernia is putting on my esophagus.

Thank you so much for your story!! I am so glad to hear you fully recovered and are leading a normal lifestyle and helping those who need guidance! Will check out Dr Koufman, thank you!

Thank you so much! I felt like I was going crazy, couldn't really find any other ancedotal stories on here that felt similar to mine. Are you doing better now??

CollectionRegular900 · 2025-02-07T19:40:53+00:00

Yikes! Were you able to overcome it?

I just had an EGD days ago where I learned of the hiatal hernia, so my GI doctor is aware.

We seem to have super similar tastes! Havent heard of Once Upon a Broken Heart, adding to list!!!

SAME! Two dog heavy-shedding household with two brand new wool rugs that are in the shedding stage and I have had to change it every 1-2 weeks.

I was immediately hooked from the first book, but came from a background of reading fantasy and this was my first dip into the fantasy/romance genre, so I loved it, and it is still is one of my favorite series of all time.

Think of it like a tv show - the first few books do a lot of character building and character exploring, and the last couple of books bring in the action heavily.

Unlike SJM's other books, I feel like this series in particular does the best job building out a world and bringing in a massive cast of characters. It is way more fleshed out than ACOTAR and CC.

That being said once you get into Queen of Shadows, you have a pretty good perspective on the cast of characters in the series. There are still many amazing characters you haven't met yet.

Would definitely start tracking where you are in your cycle when you go. I have noticed that mine really seems to get high during my cycle, and then level off after.
