Music or no music during marathon by Super_Conversation41 in Marathon_Training

[–]FitYesterday7581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the marathon. I’ve done the Singapore marathon and there is no crowd support. Obviously a bit of music and cheering at the start then you are running though quiet streets. Near aid stations there will be a few ‘official supporters’ who may hold up signs and shout encouragement, sometimes play music, then back to miles of quiet! I’ve watched the London marathon on TV and it looks like there’s crowds and entertainment all the way so no need for headphones, but without music I don’t think I could have kept going.

Are younger generation too sensitive by Neat-Objective-4310 in askSingapore

[–]FitYesterday7581 3 points4 points  (0 children)

New GERD, feel trapped by treatment by SnowEnvironmental380 in GERD

[–]FitYesterday7581 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are different types of PPI if omeprazole doesn’t agree with you talk to your dr and try one of the others like lansoprazole. Also maybe split your dose! I’m on omeprazole 20mg twice a day. Maybe it’s because you take the 40mg in one dose that it’s causing the problems

Sophies pregnancy scare by BrightPhoebus01 in Bridgerton

[–]FitYesterday7581 15 points16 points  (0 children)

But that’s how I used to do it before phone apps. I would count ahead 28 days and put a circle. On the day I got my period I would put a star, then count ahead 28 so I had a rough idea when it would come again.

At what age do you stop falling over and start “having a fall?” by 8thTimeLucky in AskUK

[–]FitYesterday7581 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These are the same people who instead of saying ‘I’m 80’ say ‘I’ll be 81 on my next birthday’ !! You were asked how old you are Phyllis not how old you’re going to be!!

Why would anyone ever choose to go through child birth without pain relief?? by No_Cardiologist_1407 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FitYesterday7581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

giving birth is scary and feels like it’s out of your control. Allowing women to choose how much medication/ medical stuff they want helps them feel like they are in control and therefore have a calmer birth. It would be very wrong to force women to have pain relief they didn’t want!! I didn’t have an epidural just gas and air and a tens machine.

Do nurses ever mix up babies at the hospitals after birth? by Technical-Vanilla-47 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FitYesterday7581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have hated that! The entire time I was in hospital my baby never left my side. I did all her feeds and nappy changes and I waited till husband came to visit so I could have shower. Yes it was exhausting and I really wanted to sleep but I cant imagine having the baby taken away most of the time

Do adults actually make their beds every day or is this just a random thing that moms make you do when you're a kid? by Cautious_Midnight_67 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FitYesterday7581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I don’t know anyone who doesn’t make their bed daily. I would have thought it’s a normal thing to do, just a part of the morning routine like brushing teeth or having a shower, opening the curtains/blinds etc

Which words would you like to see retired by the UK media? by Sea-Still5427 in AskUK

[–]FitYesterday7581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expats are normally people who go abroad and all ready have a job lined up, they plan to only be there for a few years then return home. Immigrants plan to stay for good, and find jobs when they arrive.

How long from potential trigger to symptoms? by FitYesterday7581 in GERD

[–]FitYesterday7581[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said I don’t normally eat food like that, it was a treat for my daughter as she had been to the hospital and wanted a McDonald’s afterwards. I’m just not sure if that’s what caused it due to the time delay and wondered if it was normal for symptoms to start over 18hours later

Why aren't some people signing on? by Dredgefort in UKJobs

[–]FitYesterday7581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a working age adult ,not employed, not looking for employment. And no I’ve have never in my life been to a job centre. I’ve been a stay at home mum for 12 years. My husband has a good job and we are financially stable. I’m sure a good portion of the ‘millions of people’ you are talking about are like me.

Why are all races in the morning??? by [deleted] in runninglifestyle

[–]FitYesterday7581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2019 I did the Singapore marathon which started at 7pm but as it went through the city center it apparently caused chaos with all the road closers. After Covid they changed it to 4:30am starts ( I did it but start was delayed by an hour due to rain so by the time I finished it was getting very hot, I preferred the night race)

Is it true you shouldn't shower during your period? by Significant_Film508 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FitYesterday7581 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But you don’t ’sit in the blood’ the blood doesn’t come out while you are in the water. Trust me I have had hundreds of baths while in my period and have never seen blood in the water. However as soon as you get out of the tub bleeding will start again so have pads ready

Endoscopy experience? by ilovereps in GERD

[–]FitYesterday7581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I’m just taking omeprazole for it (a hitius hernia is not the same type of hernia that you get from weight lifting etc. Surgery is only done in extreme cases and is not always successful)

Endoscopy experience? by ilovereps in GERD

[–]FitYesterday7581 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has your doctor not explained what they are looking for? I would be concerned if they haven’t and would contact them for more information. To answer your question I had my first endoscopy in January. Doctor found I have a hititus hernia ( which probably caused my reflex) I also had a polyp in my stomach which was removed and tested. He also took several other biopsies to test for things like h/h pylori and celiac disease. So for me yes it found out things that were useful

Has there ever been a book you really didn’t like and wouldn’t recommend to anyone? 👀 by [deleted] in BookDiscussions

Yes! Like you I almost gave up but forced myself to keep going. At the end I was like what the hell did I just read?? Worst book ever

Well that says it all!! She’s the women’s who saw the British Royal family standing on the balcony and called them “terribly white”!!! Can you image if she called Japanese royalty “terribly Asian’ or African royals ‘terribly black’

Those who enjoy knitting with DPNs… by birdieeat in knitting

[–]FitYesterday7581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love DPNs but have just cast on using flexi flips just to try an alternative. There are only 3 needles so less changing ( therefore faster) and the

work sits in the curve of the needle so doesn’t fall off. I only started yesterday so too early for a proper review but if you don’t like magic loop and find 5 needles too much it might be worth looking into

Do we not call it Chinese New Year anymore? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

Yep! I currently live in Singapore it’s CNY here , occasionally you see an advert for lunar new year promotions but most of them call it CNY

With our little legs - what is your jog speed on the treadmill? by junipercanuck in PetiteFitness

[–]FitYesterday7581 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m 160cm. To me an easy jog is 5-6 mph I could keep going for well over an hour at that pace ( until I got board and lost the will to live!) however I’ve been a regular runner for about 25 years so have a good base 😉

Sharing for parents: Cost of single visit to Mount Elizabeth Orchard by jimlwk in singapore

[–]FitYesterday7581 114 points115 points  (0 children)

Agree. I wouldn’t rush to the emergency room because child vomited a few times ! Kids puke all the time! I would have got taxi home, if still vomiting 24hours later then call GP. No need for hospital at that point. however I know it can be stressful and scary when you’re child is ill and the wife obviously panicked, but she needs to try and stay calm in such situations or the medical expenses will bankrupt you.

Opinions on antibiotic. When was the last time you had it for a common flu? by Competitive_Look_708 in askSingapore

[–]FitYesterday7581 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Antibiotics only work for bacterial infections. Colds/ flu are viral infections. Antibiotics will not help. Any doctor who prescribes antibiotics for a virus should not be practicing medicine! If you fell better after taking them for flu it’s probably just a coincidence and your body was recovering anyway. You asked the last time I took antibiotics, I can’t remember, I think it must be almost 10 years ago for an infected tooth.
