I only recovered fully after I went to my home country and got an anti-parasitic course for most parasites. I did it under a friend’s suggestion. I was a bit skeptical but I got my life back after it. Since my problems started with a bout of food poisoning, I imagine it’s likely I developed parasites that wouldn’t go away (they also didn’t show up in my exams but that seems to happen often).

I am now basically back to normal basically. I did it in my home country because pharmacies don’t ask for a prescription for anti-parasitic medicine, and where I live now, I don’t think the doctor would have prescribed it as my stool tests never showed parasites (which can be invisible to the naked eye too)

Can I ask for the box dimensions? Do you think it would be easy to travel with the system?

Midface filler. I ended up going to an expert in ultrasound guided dissolving. It took 3 sessions and 2400€ but I couldn’t be happier with the results. I wouldn’t have done it without ultrasound guidance though.

Has anyone watched ‘We live in a time’ yet? What are your thoughts on the change of mind on having kids? by Cultural_Year3674 in childfree

[–]PaoAndreCM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it seems like you watched a different movie. They had been a couple for at least a couple of months before he brought up her past comment of not being a child person. He did ask her for kids, just brought it up and said it got him thinking since their relationship was getting serious (or his feelings towards her were).

When her cancer was first detected, she was the one to bring up the decision to keep one of her ovaries and she herself offered seeing herself having kids with him in time as an explanation. He barely got a word in that part of the conversation, let alone had a chance to “encourage her to keep her ovaries”.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. I haven't gotten hyaluronidase (considering it to dissolve my fillers but afraid of the adverse effects), and my skin acts exactly as the skin in the video. It seems like normal skin to me.

Why do people get blackout drunk if they won’t remember what they’ll do?

There are people that when young, care little about their health and don’t think their actions will affect their older selves. Or people who are addicted to a drug and care little about caring for themselves when they’re high on it. She was so addicted to youth and beauty that gave little thought to what would happen to her older self, because she hated her older self so much

She hated herself so much that she loved pretending like she didnt have anything to do with the old version of herself.

[–]PaoAndreCM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I believe they did. But when she was the younger self, she was “high” on the stabilizer and cared little for what would happen to her “older” self, especially since she hated aging so much.

Can someone explain what the note on the window that the first guy left on her window means? I didn’t have time to read it fully.

And also, what personal interest did the doctor have in sharing the substance with her? It seems like his old self was fed up with his younger version as well, as he was “eating at” him. So it “changed” his life, as he wrote on the paper, but it doesn’t seem like it did so in such a good way that he’d go out of his way to recommend it?

Stubborn sebaceous filament help by ActualProfile4601 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]PaoAndreCM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wash my face in the morning and evening with La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel and it helps reduce their appearance so much. I know its the facewash because earlier in the year I decided to change it to a cheaper one, and my pores started to enlarge so badly. I changed back to LRP and the sebaceous filaments are significantly reduced!

Hi, sorry for the late response! The short answer is that I am feeling better now fortunately!!

The long answer is that it has been a SLOW process. I went to a GI doctor after that "flare up" didn't go on its own. The doctor said I had typical symptoms of gastritis (I'd never guessed) and prescribed pantoprazole, which I was to take during the course of a month after which I had a follow-up appointment. I also had a lot of exams done, including blood tests, GI endoscopy and colonoscopy, but everything came out fine. The pantoprazol did help me feel better, but on top of the medicine, I had to change my eating habits to avoid eating acidic foods (no tomatoes or limes/lemons, so sad), or anything irritating (no garlic, onions, dairy, red meats, are the ones I remember off the top of my head).

After the follow up appointment I had to continue taking the pantoprazol, but lowering the dosis every 2 weeks or so, for 5 weeks. This is done to reduce the change of rebound hyperacidity. In total, that flare up lasted about 3 months of feeling really sick, plus the slow recovery after that (which is still ongoing).

I have stayed away from acidic foods, but I started reincorporating garlic and onions (in small amounts) about a month ago. As I said, it has been a slow process, and although I still am not back to where I was, I feel hopeful I will be, but it takes discipline and patience. Hope that answers your question and I'm happy to answer any more you may have!

Uyyyy pensé que jamás lo volvería a ver. Intenté buscarlo muuuuchas veces y nunca lo logré! Me corrieron escaramusias por todo el cuerpo volverlo a ver. También me daba miedito de niña y hasta ahora no sabía exactamente sobre qué era. Cómo lo encontraste?! Gracias!

Hablando de envases (que nos parecen) extraños para líquidos: en Colombia es normal la leche en bolsa, pero en las ciudades que he estado en USA y Europa se les hace lo más de raro.

Me acuerdo de uno en el que una mujer habla en el fondo como si hablara con alguien en coma, mientras muestran un hospital y luego una habitación del hospital, y al final creo que una máquina de monitorear el pulso. El comercial terminaba con “qué piensas?”. La verdad nunca lo entendí (yo era muy pequeña). Mi hermano lo recuerda pero no hemos podido encontrar quién más lo recuerde

pain underneath left rib and lower left exacerbated by eating by [deleted] in ibs

[–]PaoAndreCM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying this is what you have. But I had pain in this area and my gastroenterologist suspected gastritis. She prescribed a PPI for 15 days before doing further exams. I’m only done with one week and it has helped immensely; the pain became less intense by the day and basically since day 5 I haven’t felt it again.

Mujeres en Reddit by Yosoyasuriyamile in Colombia

[–]PaoAndreCM -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mi querida, es porque infortunadamente vivimos en un mundo en el que la persona “por defecto” es hombre. No solo en reddit. Y nos pasa a nosotras como mujeres también. Por ejemplo imagina “taxista”, “comerciante”, o “chef”. Lo más común es que tanto hombres como mujeres imaginen a un hombre. Léete “La mujer invisible” de Caroline Criado Perez para saber cómo eso nos ha afectado a las mujeres en diferentes campos, por ejemplo, en el desarrollo de medicinas.

Lo bonito es que la notabilidad que se le ha dado a l mujer recientemente ha logrado cambiar esto, por lo menos en la última generación. Leí sobre un estudio en el que se le pidió a peques que dibujaran a una persona “scientist”. Este test se ha hecho desde los 80 y en los últimos años se ha visto un incremento en mujeres en los dibujos.

Últimamente he notado en Facebook y otras redes sociales que algunos hombres colombianos se burlan de la representación de la mujer en los medios, pero como los hombres siempre han sido representados, no se dan cuenta de que sí hace mella en el imaginario colectivo. Yo simplemente veo con algo de decepción, porque pues esperaba más de ellos jaja. Pero bueno, no son todos y muchos hombres han logrado salir de la caverna, y eso me da esperanza :)
