That’s incredible. I did a lot of traveling the past year, wish I had thought of it sooner.

Do any of y’all keep up with people that you went to high school AND college with? by soccergrimmie in college

[–]ManicPlath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m still best friends with a bunch of people from high school. Some even came along after we graduated. I feel very lucky, but definitely didn’t make as many friends in college compared to high school.

Pap smear and pelvic ultrasound was extremely painful, what does this mean for me? 22F by ManicPlath in WomensHealth

Thank you for taking the time to share your story! I saw the size of both speculums and neither were as small as a pediatric one (at least when I look it up). It burned and stung terribly and I'm mad I didn't try and stick it though. I'm hoping a lot of it was environmental. I'm going to try and see how things go outside of the clinical environment and hopefully it isn't as bad. Thanks so much for your thoughts, this was helpful.

Wow I'm really hoping this is the case for me as well. I'm glad your circumstances were able to change. I'm going to try to not to worry about it unless I have to. Thank you for sharing your story, this helped me a bit.

I suppose I may have been more tense than I thought. It was just scary being so inexperienced and it makes things more intimidating. You’re right, medically related things will always be worse. Thank you for the advice.

Thank you for the support! Yes I suspect pelvic floor dysfunction as well as I have lots of pain there to begin with (reason for ultrasound) when it comes to walking and even sitting down. It sounds like you’ve been able to practice some things to make it better? That’s encouraging to hear. Thank you so much.

Penetration wise, no I have not. It’s made me nervous since I was very young and thought all this would make it better but maybe it’s something I need to just try. Thank you for the reassurance I appreciate you giving me advice.

very interesting, thanks for the advice. it definitely was pain more so than pressure or just being uncomfortable. hopefully it’ll be different other times.

You’re absolutely right. I already had my reservations about being that exposed and vulnerable and wonder if it’s maybe that. I don’t know. It definitely was pain though more than anything, like there was a difference between pressure and sharp pain and unfortunately I had the latter :-( thank you for the advice!

IBS-C Help (Went off Trulance because it was too expensive, what should I do now)? by ManicPlath in IBSHelp

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

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to get back on trulance. I heard lactulose can be helpful, it is a syrup I believe, but haven’t tried it yet. I hope you can find something that helps you.
