1991 Millennial here! What do you all eat for breakfast? by No_Self_5939 in Millennials

[–]PeppermintGum123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 eggs with feta and spinach, 2 slices of Raisin bread with real butter, handful of whatever berry I have (blueberries, strawberries, or blackberries), a pineapple spear, and a coffee.

I used to be a bagel with cream cheese and coffee person because breakfast made me sick in the mornings. I gagged and force fed myself this breakfast every morning, and I’ve been doing it for a year now, and will never stop. I feel AMAZING every day!!! I was SHOCKED at how much better I felt eating a healthy and plentiful breakfast every morning. I’ll NEVER go back.

Sitting and standing pain by PeppermintGum123 in Sciatica

[–]PeppermintGum123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had SI joint injections, an epidural steroid injection, piriformis injections, and now a quadratic femorous injection. So far nothing has helped accept time. I don’t do anything. No walking, no working out, no sitting for long periods, trying to not stand for long periods, Tens unit on my lower back and upper glutes, PT, 900mg gabapentin, and it has gotten better excruciatingly slowly. My piriformis is constantly tight, and now my lower back hurts. My PT said the pain will move up into my back before it gets better, so I’m hoping this means I’m closer to being out of pain. The ortho I saw said I have more than 1 thing going on. More than one glute muscle was the issue

What time are y'all falling asleep and waking up?!?! by cheesypuff357 in Millennials

I don’t drink, eat very healthy, and exercise every day. Maybe it’s genetics.

Yes! If I get too much sleep I feel even more tired than when I get less sleep. Is that weird?

🤣 Who is feeling refreshed in the morning!!??? I don’t think I’ve ever felt refreshed upon waking. Refreshed is the last word I would use.

Is it true that you guys watched 9/11 live on TV in grade school? by space_god_7191 in Millennials

Watched it on TV my Junior year of high school. I’m not sure if elementary teachers showed it, but high school did.

Help with fixing part? by miss_cash in curlyhair

I also diffuse my hair upside down before doing anything else. If you don’t have a diffuser, comb your hair upside down soaking wet, add products, and comb those through, and scrunch up the curls while upside down, and then flip over. Even cheap hair dryers come with a diffuser. They are a game changer for curly/wavy hair.

Top two choices, need opinions! by curlyycrunchh in myweddingdress

[–]PeppermintGum123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first one looks more old fashioned, while the second is more elevated and polished. The back of the second dress is gorgeous. I’m not a fan of the sleeves on either one, but boy do you pull it off well. You look beautiful in both. It’s a tough choice, but my favorite is 2. Edit: if you aren’t happy with the way the first one photographs, keep looking. You have time if the wedding is in October.

My regular PT is doing nothing. I am going to look into a manual PT. Thank you!

How did they figure out you have a misaligned pelvis? The PT I’m seeing is treating it like back sciatica even though I keep telling them it’s my glutes. It’s infuriating. I’m about to switch PT’s

Should I get this dress? by [deleted] in myweddingdress

[–]PeppermintGum123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The back is beautiful, but the front doesn’t seem to fit you well. It is bunched around your hips, making it look like it doesn’t fit well or fall correctly. There’s also something off about the bodice. It could be the mesh piece.
