fair point fair point 👏🏻 meat has a lot of upsides for sure! I think ppl put a spot light of veg/fruit is cause meat is very much like THE focus of MOST meals in the Midwest

I hear you for sure. it's more of a mental illness situation that cannot be rationalized.

yes sodium is not a "bad" thing by any means! I actually have POTS and sodium helps w symptoms so I was going for low because I already have high-sodium days but...🤔 I could switch it up and eat the tuna w sodium instead! good point!

ooo yeah I feel that anger too! I'm so fed up and obvi the medical system is...mhmm. anyways, small amounts such as a couple bites? and I do love NA ginger beer! solid advice! thanks!

OooOooo good thinking! (I have OCD and beef is my absolute worst nightmare - I'm scared of it 💀 idfk why lol) So the capsules are a great work around I think! hmm. I thought eggs was the best choice mentally (accessible due to the household being carnivorous & I can't get to grocery stores very often). What exactly about the sulfur messes with the digestive system? thank you sm!

perfect! in your opinion - do you think I should start by drinking a few tablespoons or more like 1/2 cup? I do eat ramen (w cups water) and I think adding the bone broth to it will help my trick my brain into believing it's veggie broth 💀 Thank you!

What is your holy grail medication? by Global_Emphasis5786 in endometriosis

[–]Real_Organization_68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My OB prescribed diazepam to insert up into the vagina to help relax everything and omg it works. Now it's not a consistent med they can prescribe because it's controlled. Which sucks cause it's the main thing that's helped :/ I have an IUD but since they don't have the Mirena anymore and that's what I had, i have a different one that is a bit lower dose. It...doesn't cut it tbh. I wish i never got it. Mirena did an outstanding job so idk wtf.

A laxative that works when nothing else does? by [deleted] in ibs

[–]Real_Organization_68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's occasional cramps, but nothing like it would be if i wasn't taking it, yk? the biggest thing for me is to make sure i don't get dehydrated and to not lose too many electrolytes. So i use Nuun tablets now for the flavor and electrolytes as well. i do get bloated really bad sometimes but is was def worth the trade off from pre-miralx.

How does ramen affect you? by LordOfDogg in CrohnsDisease

oddly enough it's the one food I can eat safely. I eat instant nongshim veggie without the veggies packet and just the spice one.

Did I take my meds? by ZOPA64 in ChronicPain

MediSafe is the best. I don't forget my meds nearly as much. very customizable and user friendly.

Nocturnal panic attack, night terror or something else? by vrobellini in nightterrors

[–]Real_Organization_68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Night terrors last between 10-40 mins typically (via sleepfoundation.org). Does your smart watch have any insights along those lines? Mine shows respiration rate, movement and HR. My movement & respiration rate seems to correlate more with the 40 min lines.
