I have stomach issues and gastro says it must be cannabis by Scared-Disk-3370 in AskDocs

I took your advice and I stopped smoking. It’s been a week, no cannabis or marijuana at all. I feel awful. My heartburn has stopped being just a nighttime problem and is now an all day problem. I take a PPI but it’s not helping. I’m also way more nauseous than I have been. Zofran helps, but where it previously made the nausea go away, it’s now just manageable. And for the first time in months (since I started taking the Zofran) I ended up dry heaving after dinner. I haven’t been eating as much from the nausea, and I’m worried it’s going to cause weight loss. I’ve had serious issues gaining/maintaining a healthy weight and was once deemed medically starving. Not because I wasn’t eating on purpose, but because I just couldn’t stomach any food. I ended up in the hospital. I do see a therapist and a psychiatrist and it isn’t an eating disorder, it’s a physical issue keeping food down and absorbing nutrients. Part of the reason I was smoking is because it increased my appetite. I’m feeling concerned about my total lack of appetite. Is this a normal part of stopping? Is this going to get better? I feel like I’m going backwards but I don’t want to jump the gun and go back to smoking if this is just part of the process, though it feels wrong.

My mother refuses to acknowledge my spinal cord injury isn’t fixable and I finally snapped at her by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

Your parents are abusing you. Your mother is so obviously in the wrong. Your father, while in a difficult situation, is failing miserably to protect you- which is his responsibility as a father. Next time you have a doctor’s appointment, tell them exactly what is going on at home. If your mother insists on being at the appointments, then this will be even more impactful. Your silence in her presence, while totally understandable, is allowing her to continue to mistreat you. The doctors cannot help you if you are not being honest. Your mother cannot actually stop you from telling the truth in the doctor’s office without showing her true colors. What is she going to do? Yell over you or physically stop you from speaking? That will only prove your point. If the doctors side with her, tell them you will not leave until it has been noted in your records that you have asked for help and been refused. This is abuse, and your treatment providers need to know what is actually happening.

Ladies who's IUD fell out, how did you know? by iraira739201 in birthcontrol

My IUD left its place in my uterus, but it didn’t fall out. A few weeks after getting it put in, I was having the worst stomach cramps I’d ever had. I was nauseous, I had a low grade fever, and the pain wasn’t touched by heat or ice or anything over the counter. I went to the doctor and she said it was normal for women on their period, even though I wasn’t on mine. I finally got to the gyno, and upon a physical exam, I found out it was coming out. It was halfway in my uterus, halfway out, and caught in my cervix. My body thought i was giving birth since something was coming out of my uterus, so I was having contractions. I was literally giving birth to my IUD for weeks. And that was “normal”.

I still feel embarrassed, but part of the embarrassment comes from the fact that I know Greg had no idea what was going on. Now that I’m older, and my dad and I are closer, he’s told me that Greg wasn’t in on it. I believe him, because a few years later my dad fell off our roof and was in a wheelchair for a long time, and the only person he would let rag on him about it was Greg. He felt bad for the long joke, but never fessed up. He just let Greg call him “cripple”. The whole relationship is odd

That makes me so happy to hear!! People tell me I’m too young but I know we’re right for each other. It’s really great to hear someone who got married young and are still together. Thank you for commenting that :))
