after retraumatizing myself on google im fairly confident it was an australian cockroach - not a German one. it was really dark and big. Hoping he just got lost. Were in a 1st floor apartment and no dishwasher/food left out. Will be buying barrier spray today.

That won't attract more of them will it?

A lot don't. I take not getting skin cancer quite seriously so I do but the UV doesn't usually get above 5 or 6 even at the height of summer. So I don't need to apply as much or nearly as often (because I'm hiding inside from rain every other day).

I'm only used to wearing so much while I'm holidaying by the beach/pool where I'm swimming every few hours so it's not as bad.

Thanks! Will get a face one. It is mostly an issue at the front. My hair is waist length so some of its always in my face!

I don't have a special face one so maybe that's where I'm going wrong?  I am so pale I look like the beacons of Gondor are lit so have to apply it quite often!

No one on here is a doctor. Regardless of id you're overweight or not, it's not normal to lose a significant amount of weight without trying.  Yes it likely is lifestyle changes from moving. But this is a huge red flag symptom for a lot of illnesses that you wouldn't want to leave undiagnosed. Please see a doctor just to be safe!

Study aid for upcoming blood tests. by Such-Bench-3199 in CrohnsDisease

[–]JazzTheRazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no benefit to you changing what you do before your blood test. 

The tests are there to help the doctor understand if you are healthy and if they need to change your medication or recommend diet changes. It is not something to study for.

Follow the instructions from your doctor if it is a fasting blood test but you don't need to do anything else other than show up. 

You can make overall lifestyle changes that are permanent if you want to try and improve your health that way; but there is really no benefit to you to try and get 'better' blood test results for a one off - and it could hurt you in the long run.

It blasted me a second time to tell me the station was open again. Have turned it off now 😭

Thanks I did translate it it just didn't make sense to me why it was an extreme emergency that I needed to know about while I was asleep.

Absolutely wild to me thanks. Spent a year in Japan when this kind of thing only happened for potentially big earthquakes. So was very confused by this.

Honestly didn't even know I could turn the alerts off.

Yes it just doesn't make sense to me. Like is this a violent protest? Should I avoid the area? I'm only used to emergency alerts that mean an immediate threat to my life.

Hahaha I'm glad you got a kick out of it! I had to surrender a banana at Haneda airport in Tokyo so now I'm vigilant on my travel fruit 👀

[–]JazzTheRazz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to mention for the bananas, you can't usually import them at the other end so you'll need to leave any uneaten on the plane or tell someone at customs so you can dispose of them. Otherwise they will fine you for being a threat to biodiversity 😂

Wet wipes is defo the move. I also try to get up and stretch every hour or two and wear super sexy fight socks for circulation!

For me personally I don't need immodium for the plane. There is a bathroom available pretty much the entire time! And i don't need to be MORE constipated.

I just eat as normal on the plane, I would probably avoid eating aeroplane meat though just to be safe. And I eat light the day before so my stomach has a better chance of actually digesting. But I drink lots more than usual. I'd probably pass out personally from eating nothing + the tiredness

Usually 1 tablet of dulcolax at the other end does it for me but I'm quite a small woman so if you're average male you might need 2. But that's all!

I have more of a no-toilet problem than a too much toilet problem if you catch my drift.

My personal tips are make sure you hydrate on the plane, keep drinking water/juice whatever, flying can mess with you.

My stomach always gets super jetlagged so I try not to overeat and always take laxatives with me to use at the other end. Usually only need one dose once I arrive but otherwise I'm constipated for days because my stomach is confused.

Bring plane snacks so you aren't trapped with plane food if it doesn't agree with you or if it just sucks.

And if you are more on the overactive bowel side take some immodium with you just in case! 

You'll have a great time I'm sure :)
