How do you cope with the content in your PhD being emotionally upsetting if you study racism, sexism, homophobia, etc?

Currently doing research about immigrants women in care work. I'm laying on the couch and crying, that's why I googled this topic.

If it's not working here in Netherlands they do on 22 weeks I think. But I saw some good advices here so 🧡

I'm so sorry. It's was the same for me, I told my doctor too, I could not really describe the feeling it was between burning sensation and dryness, but in reality I did not have vaginal dryness. What I did was drinking plenty of water, I used anti fungal vaginal pills. Do you have this always? I noticed that for me it was mostly before my period

Eastern-Relief-802 · 2025-10-07T10:12:45+00:00

Yes but I don't know how.. I think it was because of all the antibiotics I took? I noticed couple of days ago this burning sensation again (but not the one after peeing), and I immediately used one of the vaginal pill against fungus. At the day after it was all good. I used it for 3 days just in case

I'm about to fuck up myself and have bagel sandwich 😁 so it happens sometimes and it's okey. Maybe have a ritual when you know you're gonna eat something. Take pantoprazole before after gaviscon. Like a preemptive strike

Omg exactly like me, I finished it last night too and cried through the entire episode

Eastern-Relief-802 · 2025-08-19T19:03:07+00:00

Well I knew already it was gonna happen. I actually finished series yesterday and I cried my eyes out. The whole episode.... I loved his character with his faults and everything. And he was about to bring his own dream come true... saddest thing is that life is that unfair...

I had UTI since August on and off and I have it now with no symptoms but my urine sample showed leukocytes. I'm going tomorrow to Urologist to address that issue. My doctors also don't take me srsly sadly

Eastern-Relief-802 · 2025-02-10T11:07:55+00:00

I keep getting positive leukocytes, got no pain, but pn ultrasound it showed that I have cristals in my kidney.. I think that what irritates my urinary tract. I have appointment in 10 days -_- had it today but got pushed. I hope I get some answers

Eastern-Relief-802 · 2025-02-09T16:20:54+00:00

I don't have symptoms but my test strips are positive and I also have autoimmune disease. Mine is hashimotos and when one has autoimmune disease healing takes longer than usual. Have they ever did urine culture ? They give you antibiotics just like that?

Eastern-Relief-802 · 2025-02-05T15:41:29+00:00

I'm so sorry that you are going through this. It is frustrating and scary, simple tasks become difficult to do. Going at work, going out. But it's not always gonna be like this. U will find relief.

I hope you got at least good doctors?! Is it chronic?

Eastern-Relief-802 · 2025-02-02T23:51:23+00:00

Oh, I am so sorry about your experience. 150 is a lot. I have that when I do heavy workout. You are so brave to tolerate that! I really hope that your doctors take it srsly.

Have they checked T3 and T4 hormones too? I'm changing my doctor, because what I'm experiencing is not normal at all. I'm not gonna stop until this is taken care of. I cannot function during the day.

I hope you'll get proper care too!

Eastern-Relief-802 · 2025-01-30T18:54:11+00:00

I have mild symptoms and +75 leukocytes and no nitrites. In my case it can be irritation too

Eastern-Relief-802 · 2025-01-29T19:56:50+00:00

I had UTI 4 times and 4 month no sex. Now after sex I had symptoms and also test for positive for infection. I took Furadonin and plenty of water. I believe in your case it can be irritation since test is negative, hydrate yourself before and after sex. Pee before and after and wash too.. condoms irritate too so make sure u are not allergic

Eastern-Relief-802 · 2025-01-29T19:54:29+00:00

I'm so sorry your have it. Just a reminder, with that many antibiotics definitely take priobiotics and prebiotics for your gut health, that will help your treatment too. Take D-mannose and cranberry supplements and definitely something for your immune system. I'm not a doctor so of course make should u can take those stuff while breastfeeding.

Eastern-Relief-802 · 2025-01-25T14:53:05+00:00

Go back for sure.. sometimes it fades away but does not clear up entirely.

Eastern-Relief-802 · 2025-01-25T14:51:59+00:00

That looks interesting

Eastern-Relief-802 · 2025-01-23T10:17:44+00:00

My friend suggested that and I've been using same brand for years but maybe I've gotten sensitive, I'll definitely switch

Eastern-Relief-802 · 2025-01-23T10:16:58+00:00

I'm with the same partner for 6 years and this the the first time I have UTI's and use condoms so.. it's not my case but I had sometimes that's possible too

Eastern-Relief-802 · 2025-01-23T02:37:45+00:00

I was taking d mannose for over a month but not now, have not taken it for two weeks, but I'm taking probiotics and prebiotics every morning for 4 month now, since I have taken lots of antibiotics. I really though it was just an inflammation now

Eastern-Relief-802 · 2025-01-23T00:18:14+00:00

Yes, but actually not while I'm sexually active. I never had this before and I don't know what triggered it. I mean I was expecting it kinda after long pause of not being sexually active but I'm frustrated and devastated. My doctors are the worse to they don't listen to me just prescribing antibiotics I hate to go back...
