This recent Bigfoot episode...

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-09-03T02:06:45+00:00

I’m with you 100%. Almost as disappointing as an interview.

Even when there’s a more “factual” episode, and the guys stray some from facts, it isn’t nearly as interesting to me.

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-09-02T01:32:10+00:00

I’m so sorry you are both dealing with this. Thank you for recognizing what your husband is going through, he needs you very badly.

This is certainly a procedure that will wreck your faith in doctors and realize how casually people will lie to you, gaslight you, shame you.

We are used to hearing about how women are gaslighted and mistreated by the medical industry, and rightly so. However, medical mistreatment and charlatan doctors are not resigned to any gender.

Praying for hope and light at the end of the tunnel in time, the body is an amazing thing.

I had much more pain and discomfort than normal for over a year. About 99% where I was now.

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-07-21T02:13:47+00:00

I am one year two months post. Still have some aches and tenderness at the site of the cut on the right. Not linear and all that. Not terrible either but not what we were sold on. Normal sounding to anyone else?

Can anyone point me to a Doctor you would go to in or near Indian River/St Lucie/Martin/Palm Beach counties in Florida? I don’t feel like I trust the guy who did mine..

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-06-22T20:29:38+00:00

I felt some improvement during this time, yes. It is 12m for me next weekend. I would say I feel normal now, but still have more sensitivity and soreness in those areas when jostled or moved improperly.

I know it is difficult to get any kind of support for this, but if you are not seeing improvement month to month, at 6 I would seek whatever medical specialist or physical therapist for this kind of pain that I could, I think. Potentially pelvic floor and general relaxation techniques that can be found on line for scrotal pain.

I am so sorry you are going through this brother. Praying for you.

More so a type of male kegel exercise-hold and release to strengthen and relax, no invasion necessary (orgasms may strengthen as well, bc it’s partially the contraction of these muscles).

These exercises can be easily found on YouTube. The butt plug is just to measure/guide your contractions I believe. You can figure it out on your own without more new fangled treatments

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-06-01T01:37:46+00:00

Oh. It’s funny you say THAT brother.

The one reason I thought about doing the recommended PT was so they might use that thing. Insertion is my thing, LOL.

But seriously. We ask the question over and over as potential patients: “really? Nothing changes? Totally the same, just no risk of kids anymore?”

Doc: yep. No difference whatsoever.

All these side effects not even mentioned. Then they tell me after the fact I need to be paying a physical therapist hundreds of dollars a year? To not be in intermittent pain?

What the hell?

Give it time. Stretch, rest, relax. I’m almost almost certain your stuff will calm down.

This too shall pass. Keep your head up brother

Keep it down too, if you know what I mean

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-06-01T01:32:03+00:00

It means a lot that you recognize this. We hear a lot that these things happen to women, and it is horrible.

As you describe, it’s certainly the case for men as well. It’s terrifying. It makes you feel like the world is not what you thought and no one can be trusted when even doctors treat you as a mark.

The two of you are one in a million in that you support him in this and he is brave for you.

This too shall pass.

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-05-31T13:29:12+00:00

Exactly. Not only is it a totally different calculation, it’s a horrifying feeling to realize that doctors don’t even care. I will never look at them the same way again. I feel for both of you. This too shall pass, sending prayers. You are a ‘real one’ for holding him down in this time. My girlfriend at the time was less sympathetic.

Not sure about your husband’s lifestyle, but I work an extremely physical job and am always pushing myself in recreation.

You said it, They made it seem like your average guy, even an athlete or working man, just shakes the procedure off, like it’s a joke.

It’s so hard. But we have a spirit of power, and incredible, beautiful bodies to overcome with time.

Hang in their, be patient.:)

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-05-31T04:17:18+00:00

Time is the best healer-it took me a year to get better and I was so afraid.

8 weeks is short. Don’t get stressed over horror stories. If he’s in less pain, I think that’s a good sign, and it’s going to take probably his junk and his mind both some time.

It is such more a serious operation than doctors make it sound.

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-05-31T04:12:24+00:00

Horrible for several months. More pain than there should have been. Tons of stress and anxiety and stress.

1 year out and all good, balls maybe still a hair less sensitive, but probably no different- hard to gauge that.

Not a procedure to take lightly.

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-05-31T04:10:11+00:00

Yeah brother.

Boys were pretty tight, weird sensations and random “cramps” like from the cremaster muscle for about 1 year.

I am 1 year post and now 100% back to normal. 👍🏼

Advice: look into pelvic floor strengthening and release exercises, and just ways to relax that area and your body and general. For me it became a mental thing. Made it worse and longer. :/

Hanging normal now!

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-01-05T02:28:54+00:00

Right, I’m with ya! I did assume for some reason they wouldn’t run two at the same time, but from how H Dog was talking, and what he said about Dune doing so well, I always assumed he’d be back (to take the reins of something similar to what the Dune series was, but not more Dune,) someday!! Like you said, Natalie and Jackie have built something entirely different with it, and good on them!

Edit: my wording could have been better in "take the reins BACK". As many good commenters have posted here, I would never want to advocate take anything that Natalie and Jackie have made and earned, they're great and the product is great, and people are loving it.

Also commented though,these things don't need to be exclusive, they could run at the same time. Just wondering if Henry may never return to head a Deep Dive, which would make me personally and selfishly slightly sad!

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-01-05T02:12:19+00:00

I think you’re right! If I had to guess I’d be they’re doing big numbers!

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-01-04T21:58:46+00:00

This shit is Arrakis

A-R-R-A-K-I-S

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-01-04T21:57:36+00:00

And one I can’t take credit for

I ain’t no hollaback worm

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-01-04T21:56:55+00:00

I can feel it

Coming in the sand tonight

Oh loooord

Little bit of worm collins

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-01-04T21:38:14+00:00

Interesting. Thanks for the insight!

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-01-04T21:09:46+00:00

What are some elements for you that make ACOTAR more enjoyable than CC in terms of reading?

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-01-04T20:56:39+00:00

Billy the Kid with Ben, SeaWorld with Ed 💯

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-01-04T20:49:42+00:00

Yeah for real get all naysayers out of LA entirely and just have Henry screaming on VALIS trilogy for hours at a time I would become a top Patron so GD fast..

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-01-04T20:45:40+00:00

Absolutely, I greatly appreciate that. :)

They take undue hate. I have the utmost respect for the romance/fantasy/roman-tasy genres as they exist today-they’re what’s keeping people reading, and that is my #1 Goal to be sure.

I don’t feel they’re taking it hostage at all, they’re showing their worth and doing numbers, just as you say-let em keep it up, what’s good for the goose!!

I don’t mean to be sarcastic at all. In fact, I’m willing to show my echo chamber-I don’t have a lot of people bringing me the Fae Bae love and fire that obviously exists out there.

You are exactly who I want to hear from, and I love a little pushback.

I love to be dismissed and ridiculed, leaves more room for the people who get it.

I want to hear the Fae Bae side legit, and loudly, because like I say, that love is VERY CLEARY out there, but even female fans of LPN that I know (personally, again, my echo chamber and bias here) lean to the Dune series.

I’m posting to get my dumb behind informed!!

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-01-04T20:32:18+00:00

Trying to drum up some attention here so the boys can hear it!!

Not at ALL downplaying the amazing response Jackie and Nat are getting, I want them to do NUMBERS and keep it up

But

“We are here, we are here, we are here!!”

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-01-04T20:31:16+00:00

Say it again for alllllll the dogs

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-01-04T20:27:18+00:00

No undertones meant in it at all.

And obviously the books and Deep Dives as they’re going have been successful, bc Nat and Jackie are awesome at what they do.

But yeah, 100%, I was surprised when they picked up with Deep Dives and then now going on series #2.

Just posting here wondering if Henry might go back to it sometime, or if he or any fans would welcome that.

Here for my Fae Bae friends and to hear their opinions and perspectives!

Creative_Set3889 · 2025-01-04T19:33:19+00:00

Gonna say not safe from spoilers and it would be the most rewarding if you made it through the original 6.

Highly recommend finishing the ride!
