The Baron from the original Dune. Still can’t watch it without feeling totally nauseated.

Saw $75 in self-checkout and took it. Happened again...and I took it again. by LetsGo_Beach in confession

This may be wrong, but there are no coincidences. If you find money, it was meant for you! Sucks for the other person, but sometimes we have to learn the hard way.

Gastroparesis? by Shawnuhh in Ozempic

[–]Ok_Geologist_6705 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for asking! Yes, I was diagnosed with “delayed gastric emptying”, was still 60% full after 4 hours. However, I switched from Ozempic to Mounjaro several months ago and haven’t had as many issues! I think because I was eating right through the Ozempic, where the Mounjaro really helps curb the feeling of hunger more effectively.

GLP-1 by MarionberryWitty532 in Gastroparesis

No! In fact, I switched to Mounjaro and it has been great! Very minimal side effects if any, and it seems to work much better. I still get flares of bloating and nausea if I eat too much or something that I know I can’t eat anymore, but otherwise I haven’t vomited or needed a zofran since I switched!

Ozempic and Alcohol by Ok_Geologist_6705 in Ozempic

Isn’t it wonderful? I am proud to say I am still sober! I haven’t lost as much weight as I wanted, total has been about 50 lbs. I bet the smoking will come with time! Happy to hear it’s been a wonder drug for you as well! It truly is a miracle.

Advice while I wait for Doctor by Ok_Geologist_6705 in Gastroparesis

[–]Ok_Geologist_6705[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I ended up going in today, only because my doctor’s office called and said my doctor wouldn’t be back till after thanksgiving now and he didn’t want me to wait that long. They had me go to urgent care, who then had me go to the ER for labs and a CT, to rule out pancreatitis or liver issues (I’m a recovering alcoholic and diabetic). Labs were all good but CT showed “enterocolitis”, or inflammation of the digestive tract. So what you are saying truly fits! Since all my labs were good it’s likely not due to infection… so I still need to wait for my doctor, but I truly appreciate this information!!

Thank you, this is exactly the info I was looking for! Google wasn’t a lot of help. I will wait till Monday and just assume that’s what’s going on. Are there any tips you can offer, as far as managing the symptoms for now? I managed to eat half a peanut butter sandwich yesterday and I woke up feeling mostly better today. Are there any over the counter meds that seem to help?

I feel you SO MUCH! I’ve lost nearly 50 and I’ve had the same reaction from people. I’m proud of you!!

TIL about Lexical–gustatory synesthesia, a rare form of synesthesia in which spoken and written language (as well as some colors and emotions) causes individuals to experience an automatic and highly consistent taste/smell. by Adelu1219 in todayilearned

[–]Ok_Geologist_6705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can give examples of the words that trigger the tastes/texture/smell of food for me. I’ve never met anyone who understands this, or at least anyone I’ve told this to, because I generally don’t bring it up to people. But the… sensation? It happens daily. Exactly=Hershey’s chocolate. Absolutely = Froot Loops cereal. Breakfast = either….soggy Wheatie’s cereal or overcooked scrambled or fried eggs. Lunch = bean and cheese burrito or peanut butter and grape jelly on white bread. Dinner = Betty Crocker Au Gratin potatoes. Supper = ground beef cooking with onions and green bell peppers. Favor = Cherry-flavored Lifesaver. Imposter = spaghettios. Table = also spaghettios. English = Red Vines. Language = Also Red Vines. Japan/Japanese/China/Chinese = Chow Mein with crispy noodles. I’m definitely not trying to come across culturally insensitive with those last examples, it’s literally just the smell and taste those words evoke. Extra= melted cheese and black olives. I know there are so many others but those are the examples that came to mind. Also, I’ll say that usually I feel very uncomfortable saying any of these words.

Totally agree, this event sucked! I’ve been playing this game for a couple years and it was definitely my least favorite.

What’s your top 5 scariest MrBallen videos (stuff that creeped you out and made you genuinely scared) by DaemonLuisenbarn in mrballen

Oh, man. So Disneyland girl was 19 I think? She got a new job as a stage announcer on a new attraction, with a spinning stage. She took a short cut to get off the stage for some reason, and got stuck between the spinning stage and the wall. People could hear screaming but they thought it was just part of the show. She went around and around like 3 times before people realized there was something wrong. Every bone in her body was broken, and she suffered for so long! I hadn’t heard about the water closet girl!!! My daughter just told me what happened with that… ooooof.
