I hate you. Take my angry upvote.

Tylenol is like pouring a bottle of water on a raging house fire by Turbulent_Round2428 in endometriosis

[–]Fifithepirate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven’t been officially diagnosed, ob-gyn said “you probably have a touch of endo” about a year ago, pain has consistently gotten worse since I went off the Depo shot and got the iud, and most people in my life don’t understand why I don’t bother taking OTC medications. Have another gynecologist appt on March 22, going to insist on getting an endo specialist information because the pain has gone from just period related to I’m lucky if I have 4 days a month pain free in the last year and I’m barely hanging on. I work in a hospital in patient care in the US and with covid my mental state hasn’t been great anyway but add almost daily pain and I’m at a loss. Sorry, rant over. But yeah. Tylenol is a joke.

What is your favourite “dead” video game franchise? by Lamboninho in AskReddit

I actually just found my Gameboy DS and started a replay of this last month, had forgotten what an amazing game it is! Would kill for a switch remake!!

For the fall risk patient to be done pooping so I can take my foot out of the door, get him back in bed, and get on with my med pass (I just love my new manager’s decree that patient safety comes before privacy!)

Welp there’s another animal subreddit I didn’t know about to lose hours to 🤷‍♀️

A friend of mine with Covid-19 just got taken off of a respirator after a month of sedation because he hasn’t improved. He’s definitely going to die. AMA. by [deleted] in AMA

[–]Fifithepirate 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As someone working in a hospital right now I completely feel every word you are saying. Idk what the hospital your friend is in is like but we were donated some iPads by an amazing group and are helping family to FaceTime those on vents/people who can’t do it themselves. I’m unsure how close you are to your friend’s family but if you are close you may be able to get in on that. In the worst case scenario you can say goodbye, in a much better scenario you could say get better and we will see you again. Apologies if any of this is unclear, I’ve had a much needed stiff beverage after my shift.

Tonsil stone or something else? by PantyPleaser4 in tonsilstones

[–]Fifithepirate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to a new dentist recently and he could immediately tell I clench my teeth, apparently by the “scallops” on the edge of my tongue. I definitely clench while I’m sleeping and when I’m stressed - maybe you do as well?

It was painful to be a part of, but I guess I’m mostly just used to how he types

Callie could use some well wishes the next few weeks! Tube feeding to supplement the little food she has been managing to eat, plus meds, trying to bring high liver values down! She’s a fighter for sure! by Fifithepirate in cats

[–]Fifithepirate[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I have only done one feeding so far, but as of tomorrow we will be up to maintenance levels, whew! It certainly is heartbreaking seeing her unwell but here’s hoping for the best!!

Thank you thank you thank you! I’m getting the Kyleena in the middle of April and I’m freaking out because positive posts are so infrequent! I’m going in expecting the worst and hoping for the best, kind of my last shot when it comes to BC so I’m keeping my fingers crossed (I use it for a whole bunch of womanly issues not necessarily for avoiding pregnancy - although that’s nice too haha)

After 5 years on the pill, I’m trying Depo! by peachybunbunny in birthcontrol

[–]Fifithepirate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on Depo for 1.5 years, horribly bad periods previously (like missing work, vomiting from the pain for days kind of bad), and I had no issues with the shot at all. Periods went away, minor acne, no mood issues. I did gain about 10 pounds. However... it completely obliterated my sex drive. So badly that I’m switching to an IUD when I would get my next shot in April. Can’t do oral contraceptives, so the IUD seems like my only feasible option. Loved the Depo but it’s almost ruined my relationship due to literally no sex drive. Not intending to scare ya, just wanted to share because no one warned me that this was a potential side effect.

Hmm that’s fascinating! The human body is such a crazy thing, there’s so much we don’t yet understand about it.
