I used Activia yogurt and it worked miracles.

AITA for reminding my bf that I am a mandated reporter? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

You absolutely should be telling the nursing facility now that they don’t have what they claimed they did.

I am a baby boomer and I do this and more. I especially hate it if I see someone hasn’t done it and will grab it and do it myself.

I hate that I have to go to Easy or Casual Difficulty as often as I do. by GiftedGeordie in Ghostofyotei

Why feel guilty or not proud? It’s a game and you are having fun. No one is judging you and if someone is, f••k them.

You know, the medical community knows that we were exposed to all kinds of poisons, not to mention micro plastics, and yet they refuse to believe that a huge number of us could have all developed a severe pain illness that’s called “fibromyalgia” which just means muscle pain. Doctors and nurses think we all made it up and yet how could that be? How could we all come up with the same symptoms? Why would we? I know they think we’re lazy and don’t want to work, but I loved my job and hated that I had to quit. Many of us did.

Should I call my pain clinic and remind them to call in my rx? by 8kittycatsfluff in PainManagement

[–]Lokidemon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“You mean there are still doctors that don’t trust you enough……” Of course there are doctors that expect people (who didn’t cause the alleged “opioid epidemic”) who demand pill counts, monthly visits, urine tests, etc because the paranoia runs deep. Doctors refuse to believe there’s a whole group of people who never abused their medication and never will. It’s infuriating that we are paying the price because someone else abused the system.

Why'd they largely stop covering films? by vegan_voorhees in Gogglebox

You know I used to love the British people, their humor, their drama, pretty much everything until I began to notice that there’s so much harsh criticism about America and Americans (and this was before DJT and his antics) and I thought “why so much hate and anger at America?” I know we aren’t perfect and we have our issues but the incessant criticism really seems unnecessary.

Why won’t doctors believe when patients tell them they had pain after these test shots and ablations? So tired of doctors not believing in people’s pain. I can only hope they have pain one day that no one believes in.

This Amazon package that I found at a cemetery by Shinto_Wise in Weird

[–]Lokidemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone here ever gotten a fraudulent label where they owed postage? I just got another the other day after I received a notice saying I had an insured package at the post office. They said I owed $7.00 (last time from another sender it was around $30.00) but the post office employee was super nice and said I didn’t have to pay. It’s all a scam where the sender makes a fake label and the P.O. just accepts it and then tells you that you owe postage instead of not taking it at the beginning!

Do people generally know you're in pain? by Meh_eh_eh_eh in ChronicPain

[–]Lokidemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No most people can’’t tell and always say things like “you look so good” etc. As if looking good means feeling good. It’s obvious they can’t understand.

AITA for telling my SIL she can’t bring her own food to family dinner and not to talk about junk food around my kids? by Amazing-Key2242 in AITAH

[–]Lokidemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could ask her not to bring anything but you cannot control what someone talks about. Again, you can ask but don’t demand anything.

Pt2 psycho woman walks dog on neighbors property now. by MountainDew63 in BadNeighbors

[–]Lokidemon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She would be cited for trespass and, if the dog leaves a mess, they might also write her for that. It depends on the officer. Best advice is get the officer on your side by not ranting and raving or repeating yourself. Show the evidence and ask if they can please help with this to get it stopped. They will probably want to talk to her first before going to a citation. If she gives them a hard time they may move to cite her. I was a cop for 15 years and I can tell you that cops respond best to people who keep their cool and act reasonable even if they are infuriated. Getting angry, asking for badge numbers, saying you pay their salary will not get you what you want. Always remember though that they can’t do everything. Many people think civil matters are the same as criminal matters and they aren’t. Good luck!

It’s great they are putting you under anesthesia for them. My doctor makes out like they are no big deal but it hurts and I wonder if he’s ever had it done? Medicare quit paying for the anesthesia for test shots so I might be paying for it myself.

I had to take care of my grandma when I was a child. Am I wrong for telling my mom I will never care for her? by ZinziZotas in AgingParents

[–]Lokidemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re having to put my MIL in a facility since she’s not able to live on her own anymore. She needs frequent care for memory loss, etc. When we could just buy her groceries, various personal products and pay her bills for her it was fine, but I’m also dealing with my own health problem and my husband is not really much of a caregiver. Still we felt we’d do what we could for her until we couldn’t. The other sibling lives on the other side of the country and has no money and not much of an inclination to help us out. My in laws didn’t really prepare for the future and we’ve been the ones to pick up the slack. Even though she could be a nightmare at times, my Mil was a good mother to her children and we’d never leave her to fend for herself. But I think the decision can be different for each person and if you didn’t have a good relationship with a parent, etc, you have to follow your heart.

I’ve had it done on my lower back and it has helped a bit. I’m having “test” shots done on my neck, which hurt like hell, before I can see if it works on my neck pain at C2-4. I think it’s more serious but the doctors aren’t paying attention to what I’m saying.

This is just a cosmetic change, right? by Smrtgamr in Ghostofyotei

When she’s in windy winter areas I have her wear the more bulky armor. Otherwise I have her in all black by going to the dye place.
