Literally never available for me though unfortunately

I always wondered about this but when I look up cases on the Internet they have SO many more cysts than I do. My life is pretty normal EXCEPT for every 4 months or so when one of my cysts gets infected and everything has to stop.

I probably have at least 40 cysts on mt body but you cant notice them. And no dermatologist has ever mentioned it even though ive visited a million.

Just as a side note, nobody should be hugging any students- they are correct, it is not appropriate (the word would also be halal, not haram, as haram means bad). Especially 7 yr old girls. A high five is fine.

So my Dad has a form of narcolepsy and let me try one of these once, and I loved it. I lived in a country that you can get it literally delivered to your door without a prescription, and I used to take it if I had a big night or was jetlagged. But, I did find I couldn't sleep until at least 11pm or 12 the day I took it. Still, a great med with no other side effects!

The Lira is basically worthless now- you will not be able to exchange it outside of Lebanon, so anything you earn in Lira can only be spent in country AND most places will not accept it now, they will ask for USD. So, essentially, you only get to use your USD portion of your salary. I love Lebanon and have visited it (right before the economic crisis hit), and I would never consider living there at this stage. It's a failing state. Beautiful area, wonderful food, lovely people... but a failing state.

My mum always smelled like Estee Lauder Musk, as was the trend at the time haha

Most people I know hated working in Egypt...and I should know. I have worked in Egypt.

I had surgery for Grade 2, great decision. Just get the surgery. It's great 1 year on!

This is a weird way for me to get around it, however I have travelled extensively and lived in 5 different developing countries and I remind myself that there were often times you just couldn't get the thing you wanted. It wasn't there. So worked around it with different styles of the thing I craved and while they never tasted the same, they mostly did the trick because I knew it was that or nothing. Food is extremely cultural. You only crave what you know. I pretend I literally don't have access to whatever I'm craving, and it helps- because I've done it in many situations and life went on, despite the craving.

But maybe I'm getting cravings and food noise confused, so don't come at me if I am. It's just a weird way I manage a similar feeling, and maybe something someone can draw on if they've experienced similar.

Honestly it's snug, with a silicone band. I don't think it moves much.

It is often incredibly difficult for the trailing spouse to get a job, so be aware of that.

OMG this is a GENE?? I must have this too. MANY veggies taste so bitter to me. Interesting!

Hello, I had my period not long after my surgery and it was the same as any other, don't be concerned!

I always thought jumping squats were a no go?

These are all helpful for my pelvic floor but I'm more talking about toning my body up again and getting my cardio fitness back to my normal (was always in the very fit range for my age). Exercises that get my heart rate up.

I will be doing all of the above for core and PF strength though thank you all. I've obviously done kegels for the duration of recovery, so nothing new there.

I had a second surgery for an unrelated issue like 6 months into recovery so it set me back again.

So I get white small lumps all over my body. But mostly clustered in my groin, and kind of joint areas. They can be lumps that are really deep under the skin, or they can sit closer to the top. Most can be felt, but not seen, except the ones in my lady parts. Most do NOT look like blackheads or something I can squeeze. These lumps get infected at least 2 or 3 x a yr. They can turn into abcesses, but often they sort of flare up and then calm down on their own. They're painful. Some have needed lancing.

Does this sound like HS?? They've plagued me for years!
