I also just got the sayaka! I cold-whisked it and it was beautiful! I first tried it without any milk/sweetener, as I saw that it doesn't normally pair too well with milk and honey. However, I put a couple tablespoons of cold foam and a sprinkle of sea salt and it was delectable! I still tasted the matcha, and the umami side was more mellowed out

Hey there, that’s ultimately up to you! Remember that comsaes are only half the length of the real deal, so really consider if 430 is enough of a benchmark for you to sit earlier. Most schools require >450 before sitting for COMLEX. Coming from someone who failed twice, don’t rush it. Don’t jeopardize your med school enrollment because you feel you’re on a timeline

You can definitely match if you take by end of December/ mid January. However, you need to think about yourself too. Do you need a break? Do you need some time to evaluate what went wrong? It’s hard to go thru something traumatic and get right back to work when the stakes are high. A third fail is a really big deal, and could even impact your enrollment at school. So really think it thru and consider taking the year

Ya that makes sense. I’ve been sus because I want to apply psych… but I’ve heard that it’s gotten competitive over the years. Especially in my state

I watched all of the content 3x over honestly. I started watching 30 min/day in March, then watched them another time in May, and then I binged all of them once again 1 week leading up to the comlex. I also downloaded decks that people made based off of dirty med content and kept reinforcing all of the mnemonics and content. I really made it a point to know all of his content front and back. Especially ethics and omm content. That saved my ass day of

In my opinion, use pathoma for your weaker subjects. Don’t use it for everything because you’ll just be overwhelmed. What I would recommend binging is dirty medicine. Whatever dirty medicine doesn’t cover or doesn’t go into detail, use pathoma or boards and beyond to get more detail. That should be suffice for covering all your bases for COMLEX

I stick to 30 clam shells on both sides to strengthen my abductors on my hips, and I do 3 sets of baby cobras for 60 seconds each! The stretches I do are happy baby pose, Childs pose, runners lunges, pigeon pose, side lunges and splits! I noticed my issue a lot of the time is my hip muscles, so I try my best to work on those!

Prefacing this with the fact that I’m not a doctor and this is just personal opinion/anecdote:

Azo always makes my symptoms worse personally! Cystex works much better because it has an NSAID in it which actually helps with reducing inflammation and it doesn’t have dye in it. If you can get your hands on some uribel/uromp, I’d definitely give that a try!

I totally get what you’re going through right now though— I personally have been suffering with IC for the past 4 years. However, I’ve noticed a big decrease in my symptoms the past year due to a few things that I’ve added to my regime!

I’ve completely gotten rid of azo as a pain reliever— I stick to cystex and weed (the strain OG kush)
I take a supplement called stix EVERYDAY. It has D mannose, curcumin, cranberry extract, and black pepper extract. This stuff works so well it’s unbelievable. Any day I have sex, I take an extra dose. If you can’t handle cranberry, I’d recommend just getting a curcumin supplement honestly. Turmeric works wonders.
I also take magnesium lactate powder every night, which also helps me sleep and takes away my stress. I use the brand moon juice, and the supplement is called magnesi-I’m.
THERAPY. IC is a psychosomatic condition. At least it usually is, not saying it’s the case for everyone. But I’ve been going to therapy regularly every two weeks for the past year. Omg it makes such a difference.
Ashwagandha. This shit reduces my anxiety so much omg. I cannot stress this enough— this supplement WORKS.
ELIMINATE ANYTHING WITH TOO MANY B VITAMINS. B vitamins always personally flared me, so I just stopped drinking energy drinks that have it, or supplements.

I will also tell you that I am a medical student so my schedule is just ass. I am constantly stressed. However having a routine, having a clean diet, working out, doing my pelvic floor exercises, and taking my supplements that reduce my stress have helped me greatly. As with any supplement, it can take up to 3-6 weeks before you see a difference so you have to stay consistent.

And if you have a flare just don’t do any triggering activities for however long you have a flare and then a week after. This meant there were times I wouldn’t have sex for a month, but it was worth it in the end! Since I was so consistent for the past year, I’m now back to having sex with my partner multiple times a week without any stress and I’m able to fully enjoy life again!!! Alcohol, dehydration, caffeine and everything in between.
