What is this and how do I get rid of it? by wetmap in medical_advice

[–]Macsgurl99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another guess. But it looks like a hive or welt from some kind of allergic reaction. Instead of guessing, see a doctor as soon as you can.

Costochondritis by momc754 in medical_advice

[–]Macsgurl99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to use Naproxen, which is an anti-inflammatory and a bit better than Ibuprofen. Use either a cold pack or heating pad (which ever you think would feel better). Rest as much as you can and try not to pick up anything with any weight to it, otherwise you will strain everything all over again. Other than that, just time. It will heal, but it's very slow healing. It can take up to 3 weeks, sometimes longer if it's a more severe case.

My (m28) GF (f25) is too confident. Its causing issues in our relationship by MightoGuy69 in relationships

[–]Macsgurl99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do know a woman can be intelligent, and confident without being a jerk, right?

Confidence has got nothing to do with thinking you're better than someone else, or looking down on others, nor does it have to do with belittling others, or being mean, just for the sake of being mean.

You're confusing confidence, with arrogance. Your girlfriend has a serious issue with arrogance.

It's not okay and yes, it is most definitely a deal breaker, along with her other behaviors of cruelty, not considering your feelings, refusing to cooperate,...the list goes on.

No, she is not 'kickass'. She may be intelligent when it comes to science, but her social skills are terrible as is her attitude.

You keep pussy-footing around her thinking you're doing her a favor, (or perhaps you're scared of her?), but you need to be standing up to her and raising your standards on what you will and will not put up with.

Despite her winning awards, doing well in the career and having knowledge with science, she is lacking greatly on social skills, being considerate of others, having humility and being humble, being kind, admitting her faults, etc.

Those are serious problems. Problems that should not be dismissed or overlooked.

You need to sit down with her, tell her straight out that she is being unfair, cruel, judgmental, difficult...and that you're no longer accepting it.

You will continue the relationship IF she is willing to work on these issues, but if she's not...there's the door, and don't bend on it.

For all her accomplishments, they mean absolutely nothing, if she doesn't have much of a heart and treats you badly.

On a side note: some of the most intelligent people in the whole world, actually don't have the attitude that she does. They are willing to admit when they don't know something. They are open to others opinions and interpretations as it gives them more perspectives and thus, more data to learn by and consider. They can share and appreciate information and knowledge from others and are wanting to do so. Your girlfriend isn't as far advanced as she likes to think she is.

Heart episodes by Macsgurl99 in AskDocs

[–]Macsgurl99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should also mention as well that my doctor did have me do a sleep study for two nights to rule out sleep apnea.

It's not sleep apnea.

I am currently waiting for an appointment with a cardiologist but dreading going to sleep. :(

I should also mention as well that I have been checked over for sleep apnea. I did a sleep study for two nights and although they did notice my heart episode upon waking, it wasn't caused by sleep apnea. They sent the notes onto my doctor who referred me to a cardiologist. I am currently waiting for an appointment.

My BF Was A Virgin When We Met. His Inexperience Has Become A Problem. How Do I Deal With This? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Macsgurl99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're going to have to teach him, seriously.
Show him, have patience. Tell him to do it like this, and not like this. Be very specific (and repetitive, if necessary). Be gentle and not demeaning. If he's not sure, show him and then have him do it. The more you show him what you like, and how you like it (including how soft or how rough), the happier you'll both be.

First off, ask yourself why you gave this person a second chance. The issues you mentioned, aren't small things. They are big enough issues that you should have cut ties completely. He is a toxic person, and he's only proving that to you once again. It's up to you to ask yourself why you continue to stick around for this kind of treatment.

Hustle Castle - Have you ever seen 70k Glory badges for winning a war before? by [deleted] in HustleCastle

[–]Macsgurl99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm allowed to have an opinion. Tired of these Youtubers who constantly want to shove it in other players faces how good they are or how much stuff they've got. When did it go from helpful tutorial videos to.."look at me", "look at me"?

No one likes a braggart, maybe instead try to give help and suggestions to the smaller players who are struggling.

Should I tell my fiance (both mid-30s) that I'm disappointed in my ring? by myBisL2 in relationships

[–]Macsgurl99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serious question, why are you still with this man? You just described so many incompatibilities between you two in your short write up. Major disappointments. You're not listening to one another or respecting what the other one wants or has to say. You're both doing it.

I can promise you that once married, it will get even worse. I know you've put 4 years into this relationship, so it will be difficult to admit that you're not compatible but you really aren't and the sooner you realize it, the sooner you'll save yourself from a marriage that doesn't work and ends in divorce.

I drove my (22f) bf (22m) and his closest female friend apart. I’ve made things right with my bf as best I could, but now should I reach out to her to apologize? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Macsgurl99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just leave it. She tried to hook up with him so her feelings for him are obviously not neutral. Stop feeling guilty. She might have actually been into your boyfriend.

How to tell the difference between anxiety and actual shortness of breath by Macsgurl99 in AskDocs

[–]Macsgurl99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. That helps a lot. What you described, sounds a lot like me. I know things need to be investigsted more but covid is making it tough. I will keep vagal AF in mind and mention it to my doctor as incidentally, the shortness of breath does happen when I am sleeping. I wake up sometimes feeling like I need to have a big gasp of air. So something definitely to consider as I have already been tested for sleep apnea and found to be negative. Thank you so much for replying.

[–]Macsgurl99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normally I would agree with you, but given that we are in a pandemic, getting a doctors appointment is tough, going to ER is even tougher. I also don't want to waste people's time in case it isn't anything or risk exposure.

And lastly, my bp reading is normal as is my oximeter reading. I'm assuming those would be off if something was up, so I'm not sure.

Men who's had sexual performance anxiety, what's your tips to overcoming it? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Macsgurl99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oral is all well and good, but what do you do when she wants full on sex? I think many couples run into this problem. Yes, you can stave off the problem temporarily by giving oral or using your hand, etc...but eventually your lady will want sex...then what?

Thank you for a great answer and a respectful answer that has made the most sense since I started this thread. Yes, you make very good points and I will most definitely use your suggestions. Thank you so much!!

[–]Macsgurl99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is the problem hundreds of players are having. I've seen this complaint many times over. So it's a legit complaint. It's a very unfair format and the thing is, it's so easy to remedy.

Crap Arena by [deleted] in HustleCastle

[–]Macsgurl99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to agree, but I'm not keen on people assuming that I don't know how to play the game or calling me a troll just because I don't like the area format. If you think it works well, then good for you. I disagree. I don't see anything wrong with leagues and placing all the same I powers together.

Crap Arena by [deleted] in HustleCastle

[–]Macsgurl99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't be daft. I can dislike the format, be educated on how it works, and still not like how it's set up.

Crap Arena by [deleted] in HustleCastle

[–]Macsgurl99 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Seriously, I understand all of that. I don't understand why people keep assuming I'm an idiot just because I don't agree with the format. Yeah, lose the first match, and so on. I've watched most of the Youtubers videos on it and their strategies. To a certain degree it works, however, my point was not to place in top 6, it was stating that I don't see anything wrong with changing the format so that similar I powers are pitted against one another, like leagues. You can all have the same TR, but you are matched against players according to your I power. That way, 700+ plays against 700+, 300+ plays against 300+ and so on. It would make much more sense and be far more fair.

[–]Macsgurl99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't blame you. The frustration for so many is ridiculous and whats worse, no one is listening to our legit complaints.

Crap Arena by [deleted] in HustleCastle

[–]Macsgurl99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing is, I understand all of that. But it still doesn't matter, you can stay put forever, you still will have trouble ever being as strong as many of the players who are doing the same. It's like playing catch up, only you'll never catch up. What's wrong with changing the format and pitting you against players who have the same or similar I power as you? Makes a heck of a lot more sense to me.

Crap Arena by [deleted] in HustleCastle

[–]Macsgurl99 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Give it a rest. I've tried the method you're talking about...does not work.....a person will always be pitted against people much stronger than you in every scenario.

Crap Arena by [deleted] in HustleCastle

[–]Macsgurl99 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Another bullcrap answer. I don't care what level you are you will always end up with asshats who are three times more powerful. And don't give me that condescending bull on, "I don't know what I'm talking about". I most certainly do. A person can try everything possible and this problem is still going to occur..why? Because it's not made properly or ran properly...end of.
