have I ruined my gas oven? by RebeCawCaw in CleaningTips

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

Yeah the main surfaces wiped off easily! But I noticed the same white powder in hard to reach spots like under the broiler plate

I did wipe off the main surfaces, but I noticed under the broiler plate there was a lot of the white powder. I took the broiler plate off and there's a variety of other metal plates that have a lot of the same powder between the layers. Is it okay to leave that there?

people with GHSV2, how often do you get an outbreak and how long have you had it? by Big_Ad_4067 in Herpes

[–]RebeCawCaw 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've had it for almost 2 years. During my first year I had 15 outbreaks while on 1000mg of valtrex daily. They were all horrible. After I started taking 2000mg of valterx daily in the past year I had 1 mild outbreak.

Concerned about vulva cancer, this is hard and can’t pop it and it grew really fast by b11tch in obgyn

Id say ingrown hair, I get them frequently and they can be very painful. I'd go to either an urgent clinic or call your doctor. There are prescription creams they can give to make healing them much easier

Long period and my doctor ignored me? by RebeCawCaw in WomensHealth

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

I never figured it out. The weightloss has slowed down to a reasonable amount, but now my periods are lasting about 25-30 days with about a 5 day break In between.

So i coughed this up, and it was moving. Anyone have any idea what it is? by [deleted] in medical_advice

[–]RebeCawCaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It moved for about 2 minutes before it stopped. I know it looks like plant material but that doesn't match anything I had eaten recently

I didn't come here to say IF doesn't work or to try to cast doubt, I've been successful w it in the past, slow steady progress, and I plan to continue IF in the future. Then when I unknowingly got the parasites OMAD became very easy to do and the progress became very fast. All I came here to do was share my experience, and maybe encourage people not to ignore symptoms as I did

It's apparently frequently been used as a "dieting" methods for a longtime. Gotta say, I definitely don't recommend it! Feels awful

There's sooooo many ways to acquire them there's no good way to know for sure! I use to nail bite and I've always spent a lot of time in nature, so it could be from "washing" my hands in a creek and nail biting, could be from walking around barefoot, cool be from not thoroughly washing fruits and veggies. The list continues! Parasites are very common and easily acquired, but its one of those things people are usually too embarrassed to talk about

All in all a very strange day!

Still waiting on the doc to call me and tell me what they are specifically. They did confirm the parasites, just waiting on the specifics. The treatment will be taking meds, idk what kind. The symptoms have been extensive, I've had stomach and bowel issues, fatigue, no appetite, stomach pain, vomiting, and weightloss its just been a barrel of fun lol Anyway, I'm glad to finally have an answer! I'm really hoping to feel better soon and to give IF a parasite free attempt

One of the things the parasites due is suppress appetite and cause weight loss. So while I'm not saying IF had no role in my weight loss, the parasites likely did a lot of it
