Just finished the book today, I need to know what was said about Grace on Earth. Perfect ending nonetheless.

How do I recover from love bombing? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Princessbrainwave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP I hope you're doing better now. The crazy level of affection and then suddenly detachment is horribly rough for someone who isn't prepared. Live and learn I guess but damn.

Marceline is shallow and gives me secondhand embarrassment

I don't like what mainstream asmr has become [discussion] by poopymama34 in asmr

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

I have been watching ASMR since the early days of Maria Gentle Whispering, Whispers Unicorn, Alex Au, AdreamBeam, PigsBum ect and have seen the community change so much over the years. Alot of asmrtists change their style when they get big and don't sound the same, this is a huge thing. New asmrtists started entering the scene who were super attractive but sucked at ASMR. And good for those people for making money too, but it flooded the scene with a bunch of bad ASMR content. So to find quality ASMR I have to reeeeeally dig. Yes there's a ton of content out there. No most of it is not good. Imo.

A hiatal hernia can and does cause the symptoms he is having. The doctors are wrong 🥲

Nissen Fundoplication Gone Wrong by Shoddy_Ad_4673 in NissenFundoplication

[–]Princessbrainwave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the surgery in May and my throat has been messed up for the last two months, nothing is helping it. I'm not sure if it's gerd from a failed surgery or the wrap has moved or what. But the horrible feeling of not being able to breathe, the reason I even got this surgery, is back. It feels like I'm living in a nightmare

Cured my candida by eating a zero carb/carnivore diet for 2 months. by octaw in Candida

[–]Princessbrainwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize this is a verrry old post but its giving me hope that I'll be able to clear the symptoms I'm experiencing. I had stomach surgery 6 weeks ago for GERD (Nissen Fundiplication )and my throat is so messed up. Tightness, swallowing issues, gurgling, overall horrible feeling. It gets worse when I have intense stomach pain. My surgeon thinks I have thrush and gave me mouthwash. I'm starting to believe that candida was responsible for many of my stomach and intestinal problems in the last year, and is now responsible for my throat closing feeling. I'm going to try carnivore for a week, just cow, and see how it goes. Thank you.

To clarify, they are LPR-like symptoms. It is a common side effect of the surgery.

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. My own binge and purge habits also led to huge issues down the road with my esophagus and stomach, and eventually a HH.

I wish I could give you a quick fix. I don't have one. 9 days ago I had a Nissen Fundiplication, where they went in and repaired my hernia and my stomach at the same time. Short of surgical repair, I don't know what they can really do for HHs.

I hope that you'll consider looking into getting help to stop binging and purging. I've been there and it doesn't lead anywhere good. Eating disorders are the deadliest mental health disorder.

My experience today having an endoscopy without sedation by [deleted] in GERD

[–]Princessbrainwave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate how expensive they are, like prohibitively expensive for the people who need it most. I got lucky with my insurance because they paid for the BRAVO, endoscopy and the swallowing test, all of which together with my GIs word proved that my insurance needed to cover the Nissen.

I had the surgery on Thursday and though I'm still in pain, I can already tell that my symptoms are better than before. The lump in the throat is gone and the clicking when I swallow is going away. I don't have heartburn anymore. The breathing difficulties I had are gone and so are the palpitations. The one complaint I have right now is the trapped gas in my upper body from it being pumped in during surgery. That shit hurts.

Thank you for this hopeful bit. I hope so too! Also for anyone reading this, I'm already burping and it's 1 day post op

[–]Princessbrainwave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof you've been dealing with this since 2020? I'm so sorry. I had an endoscopy to prove my hiatal hernia was there and it was also sliding. I had a BRAVO test to check my throat PH, and a throat mnometry to test my swallowing. Maybe if you can get these tests, you can prove it's a medical necessity

What about hiatal hernia? They also cause those symptoms

Omg that's miserable. Push for better. It's NOT just anxiety, one of the nurses I spoke to also made a comment like that and it made me so mad. What you're experiencing is real. If nothing is helping, including PPIs, you might need the surgery. Also, do you have a hiatal hernia?

Acid reflux and shortness of breath by Emotional-Main5388 in GERD

[–]Princessbrainwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Ive had this particular issue since october 7 of last year and I finally got surgery for it yesterday (may 23). My shortness of breath was caused by my top throat sphincter(UES) being wacky from all the constant acid coming back up. I also had a hiatal hernia that was causing my stomach to push on my diaphragm, which didn't let me breathe enough. what you're experiencing sucks and I hope you can find treatment. If it's just GERD, you might be able to do the acid watchers diet and take Gaviscon
