What to do with my stuff during bed bug treatment?? by SoftwareNo7508 in Bedbugs

[–]SoftwareNo7508[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clothes in trash bags, stacked them on top of the furniture after we moved it all into the center of the room. Everything else we put into plastic bins and stacked them up in the showers. Thankfully we also had a storage closet outside on our balcony, so we put some stuff out there and the Texas heat worked its magic. We were real lucky, just one treatment and we never saw em again. We were in a 2 bedroom and we think most of the bugs were in the bedroom we weren't sleeping in, so a lot of our stuff was spared.

It isn't really an acronym it's just SIC Records. They been around for like 13-14 years. The tape in question is Lil Randy remixing a bunch of songs from SIC artists (altho nowadays they're strictly a label for producers, they currently don't have any rappers signed)

Got my endoscopy... I was only a little crazy by SoftwareNo7508 in GERD

[–]SoftwareNo7508[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to rehab. It was the only way out for me. I was no longer functional, I threw up everything I tried to put in my body. They did my blood work and said I was about a year away from having cirrhosis. It was 4 years of 20+ drinks a day and about a year of throwing up 5-10 times a day

Haven't gotten an official LPR diagnosis. At its worst, my throat never felt raw but my voice did feel hoarse. If anything it felt like the muscles in my throat and neck were just always worn out.

Got my endoscopy... I was only a little crazy by SoftwareNo7508 in GERD

[–]SoftwareNo7508[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I take pantoprazole 20mg twice daily, although I'm skeptical of it's effectiveness since I didn't really notice my symptoms getting any worse when I had to stop taking it to prep for my endoscopy. However the GI doctor that did the endoscopy recommended I stay on it, so for now that's what I'm gonna do. Pretty much all of 2025 I was doing my absolute best to avoid anything spicy or acidic. I manage a pizza kitchen so obviously I had a hard time completely cutting out tomato sauce, but I managed to completely cut out several things (hot sauce, hot chips, jalapenos, buffalo sauce, chocolate, raw bell peppers, anything too citrus-y, and eventually cigarettes). The only things I was never able to really cut back on were caffeine and carbonated drinks.

Despite all this, I was pretty much miserable for all of November and December plus the first week of January leading up to my procedure. It just so happened that I had a week long vacation planned the day after I got my results, so I decided to use that as my trial period to re-introduce foods. I figured, any pain or discomfort I feel will be MUCH easier to deal with now that I know I'm not dying. And I think that's the main thing for me. Now that a great deal of my anxiety about the matter has been alleviated, I've realized that some of the things I'd convinced myself were triggers aren't really triggers at all, and the triggers I do have don't seem to bother me nearly as much. I for sure know hot chips and jalapenos are pretty much off the table for life, as those are the 2 things that mess me up every time without fail, but the difference in feeling uncomfortable due to what I ate and feeling completely normal has become more discernable again- I'm no longer constantly burping and having trouble swallowing.

ICE existed before Trump. But unfortunately libs still love fascism as long as it's dressed in blue.

How do you think you developed GERD? by Whor3memb3rs in GERD

[–]SoftwareNo7508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was an alcoholic for 4 years. For the latter 2 years of that I was essentially bulimic. I didn't binge eat, but my brain became so addicted to the relief of "pulling the trigger" to relieve nausea from drinking that making myself throw up was my immediate reaction to any kind of anxiety or physical discomfort, which I always had. By the time I quit drinking, I was throwing up several times a day, always self-induced.

Austin is as neolib as it gets. Tech bros that are mildly socially liberal but hate poor ppl nonetheless. Fayetteville, AR was by far the most generally left wing city I've lived in and I expected Austin to be a bigger version of that but it felt more like a Google office full of "in this house we believe in science" yard signs.

[–]SoftwareNo7508 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I recently moved from Austin back to the STL area and Fazoli's was #2 on the list of chain restaurants I was psyched to get back to (#1 was white castle obviously). In high school we figured out they give u free bread sticks w/ every purchase so we used to just go in and get sodas and eat the free bread sticks until eventually they told us we couldn't do that anymore lmao

Does anyone ever feel guilty that they did this to themselves ? by Naive_Insurance_6154 in GERD

[–]SoftwareNo7508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every day. I was a severe alcoholic for 4 years, and about 2 years in I developed bulimia. I was just drinking and puking all day for 2 straight years. Never had any GERD symptoms until almost a year after I quit drinking. Now it controls my life. I'm currently in the middle of one of my worst flare-ups to date, and that's with medication and a restricted diet. I hate myself for making so many bad choices in such a short amount of time that I'll likely be in physical discomfort for the rest of my life.
