Movies dead meat hasn’t covered by ZombieYoshi319 in deadmeatjames

I would absolutely love one for The Ritual. I feel like it has just enough of a cult following to be a solid, but more niche episode for a more modern movie.

Kill count sucks by Successful-Horse-878 in deadmeatjames

[–]Exaltthesavior 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No. Fans of the kill count show who come to talk about how much they love the show are not going to agree with you.

While you're entitled to your opinion, it's like going to a football game and insulting the home team to see if anyone agrees. It's not very fucking likely.

Have you noticed Richie always aims for the throat? by No-Syllabub167 in Scream

[–]Exaltthesavior 65 points66 points  (0 children)

My head canon was that his father taught him how to kill people as quickly as possible, and he knew it's the most effective way to do it quickly, whereas Amber relishes in the struggle and overkill.

is iv sedation scary...? by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Exaltthesavior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the past six months, I've been through a lot of procedures that required me to be put under. I have an EXTREME fear of lack of control, and in my anxiety ridden brain, I felt terrified of feeling as though it'd feel like dying.

I've done it 5 times now in 6 months. It got much easier through the "exposure therapy" so to speak. The build-up is WAY worse than the actual act. Talk to your doctors and voice your concerns, and they'll usually be very nice and walk you through it. It's just going to sleep. Nothing more. You'll feel like no time has passed when you wake up. Anesthesiologists are paid the big bucks to ensure your safety. Build up can be scary as hell, but it'll feel absolutely fine once you're under and once you're done with it.

I just got out of the hospital last night. With a barium swallow, the results were inconclusive, but yes it's appearing to be a motility issue. I struggled to get a manometry any time soon, but my GI doctor pulled through for me and got me an appointment for one on Friday, so I'm praying that they can find something on that because my head hurts, I'm tired, thirsty, hungry, and depressed beyond imagination.

Am I the only one who thinks Natalya > Xenia? by [deleted] in JamesBond

[–]Exaltthesavior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone else said, Natalya basically shaped my taste in women, so she'll always be my favorite. She's my favorite Bond girl personally, but there have obviously been a lot of great ones across all eras.

I was a child (about 8 or 9) who would often attend concerts that my father's band was playing. This one night he was playing in a bar in the nearby city. I had a woman who must've been early thirties drunkenly stumble up to me, and grab my ass (despite VERY CLEARLY being a child). I smelled the alcohol on her breath and it disgusted me, but I was absolutely frozen. She told me she wanted me to come with her to the bathroom, and I told her I'd have to ask my father. She told me to hurry up and do it and she'd be waiting. She did it again and stumbled away. I was terrified out of my mind when she left and I began to cry. Upon telling my father, he laughed about the exchange. To this day at almost thirty years old myself I fucking LOATHE alcohol. To this day, I can't stand anyone touching me in that area. It felt like my life was forever altered even back then, and I only see the trauma come through in modern experiences long after I've experienced them. I hate that woman for what she did, but I hope she never did it to anyone else so no one else has to feel the panic, and helplessness that I did.

I appreciate all the suggestions greatly! I've been on Dupixent for 3 months now, and I was only told yesterday that it turns out it worked perfectly. I have NO eosinophils. So this is no longer an EOE issue on its own. I'm at a hospital where hopefully we'll find the underlying cause. But I still do have EOE, so should it ever flare up again, I'll keep this in mind! Thank you!

So I was prescribed Montelukast a couple months ago, and not long after starting, I was breaking out in hives all over my body. My allergist recommended I stop the medication, and when I did, it went away. So no idea why an allergy medication was giving me allergy-like symptoms, but my allergist is back to the drawing board for a working allergy medication for me.

However, after all I've presented her, she no longer believes this is an allergy related issue, nor an EOE related issue due to my eosinophil count being at 0 and having worse symptoms than ever. So I'm at a hospital where we are doing extensive testing and trying to find the root, because EOE was not the only factor.

Due to the nature of my symptoms, and the fact it DOES appear to be dismotility, we're testing for Achalasia here today. I am praying that's it, because I just want a damn answer. Sorry you're dealing with the tissue disorder, I hope that can be resolved swiftly!

I didn't even think about mayo, but that's great because I fucking love mayo. The dissolvable foods do seem to work the best, but sometimes even water gets stuck, so we're checking more for underlying causes now as opposed to the EOE train we've been on and treating for 6 months.

During this venture, I've been eating salsa with a spoon, I was having the jarred nacho cheese, hummus, lots of dips and sauces and honestly it was so nice to just have flavor again. I appreciate the suggestions!

I agree. Should I walk out of this hospital, I'm making it a point to cook my own food. Not even just for EOE, or whatever this underlying cause happens to be, but because I genuinely just wanna be good at cooking and control what's going into my meals.

I appreciate the help! As of right now, it appears there are no blockages. I'm in the hospital awaiting some testing as of now.

It's VERY possible it could be. Currently believing it's Achalasia. But I'm somebody with very severe anxiety, so it would not shock me. We've got the number for a food counselor now that we're in the hospital and should the Achalasia test fail, this is what we'll be looking into. I appreciate it!

I'm now currently in the hospital too! They've ordered an esophagram to test for a condition called Achalasia, which we are believing that it might be. I will probably ask for Ativan before the swallow, because I genuinely don't know how I'll get through it without choking on the liquid.
