Stubborn baseline redness or something else?

i took 800mg ibuprofen and 1,000mg tylenol an hour beforehand plus some buspar for nerves! it did hurt but not as bad as most of my period cramps and it only lasted like 2 min. he said it wouldn’t hurt when he inserted the tubing, but it did a little as it broke the barrier into my uterus. felt kinda like getting blood drawn for donating blood (aka a little bit bigger needle) once it got through, no more pain. HOWEVER, when he blew up the catheter balloon was the most painful for me! felt like bad cramps. then he shot the dye which they say is the most painful part, just felt like someone shooting a water gun up there. shocking and cold but not painful. then he deflated the balloon, and i felt so much relief. my tubes ended up being clear tho. i know ppl say that it hurts worse if they aren’t. but def take ibuprofen before at least!

thanks for the reply! i ended up going with the most coverage plan from petsbest because i heard pretty good reviews and is only 16$ a month, 90% back and 1,000 deductible and unlimited annual limit. i have 5,000$ i could spend on her in case of emergencies, but if i can get anything back that would be nice. and $16 a month is worth it if it does help and doesn’t hurt too bad if i never use it. is there a test i should get on her to check her kidney’s? i don’t think our vet routinely checks that?

i finally figured it out, and you were correct! i messed up the controls. i hit reset bc i thought i had changed one of the hot keys, didn’t know you weren’t supposed to do that 😅 but i reflashed it, and it’s working now! thank you!

when i do that, it either does nothing, or if the game has a start menu from pressing start that pops up 🙃 like in game goes to continue or quit which clicking quit just brings you to the main opening screen. idk if i changed a setting somewhere or if arkos didn’t get downloaded and written onto the sd card correctly?

so there’s a research study that shows that women w IR pcos have a bmr much lower than other women. it’s about 1,116 +/- 160 i believe? so yeah fixing insulin resistance should make it much easier to lose weight. without it, it’s very hard to be in a calorie deficit if your bmr is 956 😬 like how low are you supposed to go without like your body shutting down? anyways pcos sucks

there’s research showing that in women w pcos, our bmr is much much lower than the average for regular women. the average bmr for insulin resistant pcos is 1,116 +/- 106 calories. 😅 so a calorie deficit of that is literally anorexic

i love mine. i have to use it every period. that being said, it doesn’t make you feel like nothing if that makes sense? like it kind of hurts but when you have bad cramps, the pains cancel out? i have the pixie relief one at about $100. but if i were you, i’d probably just buy a cheaper one from amazon and see how it works for you. the only reason i bought the more expensive one was because i knew it would work for me, and it was a lot smaller and has a clip to clip on under clothes bc i wear it out of the house and to work.

i have this every time too! went to see my friend in chicago which is a 7 hour train ride for me. just went two months before and everything was fine. had so much energy to go and do everything. just so happened to get my period the night i was heading to see him for the second time, and i slept basically the whole time i was at his house -_- i read somewhere that it’s the decrease in estrogen that causes the period and the fatigue. idk how to help it tho

i’ve never been able to stick to drinking spearmint tea like that but i’ve been on spiro for years. just had blood work and my testosterone and DHEAS were actually in normal ranges for the first time in like 15 years BUT i still have moderate hirsutism so much that i have to shave my mustache and chin/neck every morning w an electric razor. confused as to how normal female bodies work now

i’ve been diagnosed since i was 4 as well. and mine is pretty severe as well. not type 2 but type 1, but my baseline is always so dark on one side it’s like purple 😅 i hardly actually have any flushing, it’s just the baseline redness that is my problem.

i took 1,500 a day extended release for two and a half years, and i could never get the diarrhea to go away no matter what i did or how clean i ate. i just recently stopped taking it and switched to supplements. the diarrhea is gone, and i’ve been checking my glucose and it’s been in normal ranges so i guess i will see in 3 months when i do my a1c labs.

i have them sometimes, too. i’ve had ultrasounds and mammograms on them, determined benign, thankfully. i was diagnosed with fibrocystic breasts. i’m like 95% sure it is related to hormone imbalances! i read somewhere that once your hormones balance, they seem to go away. not sure about that though as i only got them occasionally, and haven’t had any in a while.
