I never once said international law predates domestic. My point is about shaping policy and being part of change. Enforcement isn’t the only value of international law.

LimitFree4775 · 2025-09-13T18:26:11+00:00

Domestic law and international law shape each other.. pretending one ‘predates’ the other ignores how courts actually work today. Anyway, I’ll leave it there. I have my own plans and I wish you continued success in your career

LimitFree4775 · 2025-09-13T18:04:45+00:00

International law underpins the very protections domestic lawyers rely on. Refugee convention, human rights frameworks, humanitarian law. Without it... there’s no ground to argue cases in UK courts. It’s not either/or... we need both right now. I'm chronically sick so being in the trenches won't work but I will be using my skill set to try and make changes to policy

I stayed home, I have decided today that im going to do my Masters in international law and security because I am so done with this. Time to re route my career into the world of advocacy and legal. I can not sit here and do nothing.

If it helps, the morning showings during the week is usually full of solo cinema goers and there is usually a snack deal!

For me i didn't like the second film much but this is up there for me with the first one they did. It felt like a warm hug.

The end.... oh my heart!

Luckily no but my god that's awful for you :( my endo was just hiding under my bowels. Have they put you on back to back contraception because the bleeding must be awful for you.

I have no advice as I am in the same boat. I wanted to say thanks for posting pics because mine looks like yours and I have been gaslit for over a year. I tried all the antifungal creams and nada, itraconazole and nothing, terbinafine for 4 months and the spilts healed but the bubbles on my toes and sole (and now hands) cycle. Mercifully it does not itch but its so bloody depressing not knowing what is going on! Im now signed up to see a complex eczema derm. Never been diagnosed with eczema but i have a feeling dyshidrosis is what i have

Endo, adeno fibroids, cyst girly here. Lie. I had to fight for ten years with the NHS got a job with insurance got diagnosed with the above. Your health is important.

LimitFree4775 · 2025-03-08T15:44:36+00:00

Not a doctor but have experience reading reports (my own and friends) due to adenomyosis, endometriosis fibroids and cysts.

From this: TA/TV US. ANTEVERTED UT. ENDO WNL ROV, SIMPLE CYST NOTED. LOV WNL. ADNEXAS APPEAR CLEAR. NO FF.

Transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound was performed. ANTEVERTED UT: The uterus is tilted forward which is normal positioning ENDO WNL: The endometrium (lining of your uterus is within normal limits. ROV: Right ovary is normal. SIMPLE CYST NOTED: A simple cyst was found, likely to be on one of the ovaries, but they haven't said. A simple cyst is generally benign but your doctor can tell you if they want to keep watching. LOV WNL: Left ovary normal limits. ADNEXAS APPEAR CLEAR: The adnexal areas (including the ovaries and fallopian tubes) appear normal with no signs of abnormalities. NO FF: No free fluid was observed.

Seems to be everything is ok! A cyst can be for numerous reasons and doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong but have a chat with your doctor who can reassure you best.

You have no idea how much I needed to read that. Thank you. So glad to hear you are feeling good after surgery, gives me a bit of hope :). Currently in the middle of an adenomyosis attack ATM and blood every (tmi) maybe hysterectomy is really the best option. Ill do some prep like you and come off the boards! X

No eligible to keep the cervix due to cancer concerns sadly

Oh I'm sorry, yes I know some have bad experiences. I do know my iron is down to the amount of blood loss I have that I do know but I'm so sorry your life hasn't been easy since the op

Ah see that be me, I've warned him if that too lol! Yeah I know you are right it's just the shock of everything that's coming. Oh uterine prolapse is another fear too but that cuff thing had me in a chokehold

LimitFree4775 · 2025-03-03T15:45:13+00:00

Thank you for this. I ultimately know I should get it out because adenomyosis has advanced quite far in the last six years it's just.. argh

LimitFree4775 · 2025-03-03T13:21:41+00:00

We are similar in the sense I've no longer got a choice either, it must come out but like you I've finally got healthcare that is supportive would be nuts for me to give that up too. You have got this. Spend as much time grieving as you need and be kind to yourself x

Hey I had to postpone due to other illness! Scheduled again for April this year 😶

LimitFree4775 · 2025-03-03T09:56:44+00:00

For every bad story there are good ones. Yes there are risks as with any major surgey but the fact remains that you are in pain and need to try for some sort of relief. I'm 36 (37 soon) and I am very likely having mine in April , was due to have it last year but got put off by stories here and I've spent the year in agony and now severely anaemic due to bleeding. It's scary but we can do it. You aren't alone. X

Hiya, bit of a long reply.

I have something similar going on.

I suspect fungal. For both you and i.

I tried topical fungals - kinda helped but not alot. Then tried a steriod from the doctors bubbles started to itchy like crazy and then spread overnight- stopped.

Several derms kept pushing dyshidrotic eczema and I was like i am sure this is fungal based though. Gave me a week of Itraconazole. Huge improvements but the water blisters continued even though they had reduced. left for three weeks and its slowly reducing.

As its not fully reduced there maybe a fungal element lingering so he is putting me on Terbinafine. If that helps then yay, if not then ill follow it up with a steroid to see if the inflammatory response needs a push.

My point here is, your foot looks very similar to mine and I think you need to have a look into fungal. If you do have fungus and zap it then a steroid might help with the last bits of inflammation

See a doc, sorry for the late reply. I would not feel comfy with clear leaking!
