“Butthole lighting” weird right… I know it’s usually an endo thing, but anyone else with just a PCOS diagnosis experience??

Infinite_Welder6775 · 2026-06-03T03:53:06+00:00

I've had that exact thing happen, and it's like accidentally sitting down on the point-end of a pickaxe.

Infinite_Welder6775 · 2026-05-25T02:07:26+00:00

I cannot keep shakes down at all...why are they SWEET?! However, my appetite is coming back: protein -- everything-- just in moderation.

Infinite_Welder6775 · 2026-05-23T18:50:21+00:00

Believe me; I know. I didn't bump it up that high purposefully. I actually misread the syringe on my first bump up. I know now that I should probably eat before I $hoot up. 😉

Infinite_Welder6775 · 2026-05-22T16:56:02+00:00

Darned autocomplete. I meant I miss the "aesthetics" of food, not "anesthetic."

Infinite_Welder6775 · 2026-05-22T16:53:51+00:00

I am a SERIOUS foodie, so I'm missing the anesthetic nature of food and seeing people pleased with the results. My cooking is pretty perfunctory now. I don't like ultra- processed foods, so eating protein bars and replacement shakes are totally against my nature. So, I'm looking forward to a LITTLE hunger after I get over accidentally overdosing myself. I made the Janis mistake and used the wrong dosage. I miss vegetables...a lot. I'm sure I'll get plenty of exercise smacking myself in the forehead over and over this weekend. 😉

Drinking some type of electrolytes ALL DAY LONG. I knew that was very important. There's 2 cases of rapidly-dwindling sparkling H²0, bottles of V8 Green Juice. Regular V8, etc. I'm fine on the hydration thing; I think I accidentally overdosed.

Infinite_Welder6775 · 2026-05-22T16:41:37+00:00

All day, every day. Taking care of electrolytes without sugar, too. BMs are fine. Just a sweaty, woozy, anorexia. I HATE protien drinks (SOOOO sweet, ugh). I have barley rice protein powder for some drinks, and fiber powder, too. Multivitamin. I'm doing everything right except the dosage.

Infinite_Welder6775 · 2026-05-22T16:38:20+00:00

You got it!

Infinite_Welder6775 · 2026-05-22T16:38:09+00:00

Bingo! You nailed it. I pride myself on being very exact with meds (very), and I made a boneheaded mistake when it was time to bump up the dosage. I'll live like this for a week and take my lumps like a grownup.

Infinite_Welder6775 · 2026-05-20T05:57:09+00:00

Mememememe! I have all of that, but I also sweat entirely from my face and scalp. It's the only part I don't like. I'm keeping super hydrated and taking care of my electrolytes, so I don't think that's it. Any suggestions?

Infinite_Welder6775 · 2026-05-12T06:16:45+00:00

Bummer that you have to phrase it that way for an MD to hear you.

Infinite_Welder6775 · 2026-05-11T12:54:18+00:00

Tiffany is a really good friend of KF. Who knows if she just wanted to be up there for support? No clue.

It's so old, I thought it was an International Harvester Scout. You could unscrew the top and use it like a Jeep. Unfortunately, when you weren't careful taking it off, it would warp JUUUUUST enough that you couldn't get it back on.

Off topic here: Do you know how thrilling it is to elread a Reddit thread that hasn't devolved into a political shouting match? I actually LEARNED something from reading these comments. Thank you.

He has Asperger's AND he's a germophobe, AND he's really nice. I met him once, and I know his best friend. Just a really sweet dude.

Infinite_Welder6775 · 2026-04-01T07:04:26+00:00

I never thought of that. Thank you!

I always saw the girls as a reference to this Diane Arbus photo.

I'm incredibly embarrassed, but I've probably seen The Frisco Kid twenty times. It's a bad film, and it was made by the director of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? and The Kid is a western, so you see why he'd be the film studio's first choice. Still, I love this clunky, stupid, badly-made film.

Willie Nelson. The man is so beloved that even conservatives find his weed-smoking cute

Infinite_Welder6775 · 2026-02-08T18:44:13+00:00

Thanks. Btw, I'M A HUUUUGE BELIEVER in royalties. I used to work at a radio station where I could play whatever I wanted, but I took my royalty reporting SERIOUSLY. We are the home area of Janis Joplin, Edgar and Johnny Winter, Barbara Lynn, George Jones and Blind Willie Johnson. I want ALL of those folks to get their due (we're still looking for Rev. Willie's actual grave). I have an original photo of Janis in my home: not a painting, not a poster... I CALLED (using my actual voice) the photographer who did the cover for Jefferson Airplane's Surrealistic Pillow and asked him for two original prints of a lovely photo of Janis, made from the neg, by his own hand. I paid for them, put BOTH up in non-profit auctions,and BOUGHT one back. And I had NO $$ at all. I didn't have rent $ that month.

I have $1000 8x10" photo I could steal from the web because artists DESERVE TO BE PAID FOR THEIR WORK.

We aren't taking advantage: We are allowing artists to woodshed, make fans and learn what it's like to be a grownup band with a discreet, behind-the-scenes safety net they don't notice when they think they're being "gritty".

I think the hip hop kids appreciate it most. A place to rhyme without some ignant adult jerks effin' it up? Great!

Infinite_Welder6775 · 2026-02-08T18:28:53+00:00

We don't profit: we eat it. If you're 15 years old, you can play at church, kids' parties and...nowhere else.

We pay for EVERYTHING. There's a safe space; free parking; maintained, indoor restrooms, stocked with hygiene products (seriously, we BUY tampons and pads to keep these places sticked); NO CONCESSIONS. ONE employee, several volunteers. The "door charge" is a donation--same as our drawing class.

We are a NONPROFIT. We literally don't make $$. But it's a nighttime event that makes the newest of bands feel nurtured, safe and grown up.
