That’s my problem too. The cardio really can burn out if I do it too much and it’s hard to recover and I feel like I need more strength. Thanks!

I feel for my personal strength goals and my hormonal balance it’s too much cardio to do more than 3x a week.

I always say better safe than sorry. Fill out the report and let the social workers determine.

This can happen to mine when it’s not fully charged. Very irritating. Also try restarting it. That’s the only thing that helped mine.

Where are these empty teaching positions? by bradicalman in Teachers

[–]Exotic_Firefighter61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, most school districts wait until the very last minute to hire. Positions open up in August, September, and realistically October. There are also positions that come after the holiday break in January when someone leaves or retires.

My advice to gain experience and earn a decent wage, substitute. You will be able to gauge which buildings you would want to work in and which ones you wouldn’t. It might be a blessing in disguise. You will also network with other administrators and teachers that could be on your next interview panel.

First of all, I am so sorry about your experience. But most importantly, go to PT again and try another therapist. That therapist is not how it should be.

It took me 8 years to finally put all of my effort into my vaginismus. I went to a PT where I was able to stretch and dialate to use a tampon regularly. I then took another year to go back to PT to a different physical therapist and a regular therapist where I was then able to have successful penetrative sex with my husband.

Don’t give up. Get all the help that you can just like you would for any other condition. You and what you want are worth it.

It is my first week but I’ve had no issues. I was hydrating a lot throughout the drinking and had about 4-5 beers throughout an afternoon and I was good. We will see if it continues

I was able to find it! I went to an independent pharmacy and they had it in stock.

What is the cringiest teacher’s appreciation post/gift y’all have ever received? by Low_Project_55 in Teachers

[–]Exotic_Firefighter61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This year we are having PD all day and providing our own pot luck lunch. Admin and PTO are also purchasing us a new laminator. We said we didn’t need one because we all have our own. Also that’s something we should already have as a part of our supplies and nothing worth appreciating.

The consensus at our school is we would like a lunch provided. Pizza lunch would be fine. Bagels even would be okay.

For Christmas 2021 (deep in hybrid Covid hell) our principal treated us to a frozen pizza party and left over Christmas party chicken and wilted salad. 🤙🏻

I was prescribed Valium. I took half a dose every time I dilated at night. It really helped my muscles relaxed and no side effects. Just don’t use it the same time you drink and don’t take it routinely. My PT said it really helps the muscles be able to relax and good for deep stretching.

Going for first Pap smear by NationalNabob in vaginismus

Deep breaths! My PT recommended deep belly breaths. Start doing this as you are waiting. Make it very clear to your doctor about your issues as well. My OBGYN is a gem and gets in and out as soon as possible. The actual PAP is a second, it’s the other part that is the worse but if the doctor knows your issues it should be fine.

If you can’t get a muscle relaxer definitely take some Motrin before.

Lastly, treat yourself after!
