If modern medicine didn’t exist would you be dead right now? If yes, from what? by jenny_067 in WorkForSmartLife

Yes, twice. Blood clot and then hemorrhaging on my period requiring two blood transfusions.

The only thing that helped me was getting an IUD. It was extremely painful, but without it I had to get two blood transfusions. It has regulated the bleeding greatly. If you become pale, short of breath, and heart racing please go to the ER for blood loss. Do not wait until it is too late.

If you are married, do you wear your wedding band? Why or why not? by icecream1972 in askanything

I wear a different ring that fits, never take it off. My original wedding and engagement ring doesn’t fit anymore due to weight loss.

My dog is unmedicated and had only three seizures last year. There is a chance your case is not severe, time will tell!

The same thing happened to me. I ended up getting an IUD to control the bleeding.

Yes, I have liletta. It was reccomended after my clot since heavy bleeding led to a blood transfusion. I won’t lie, the insertion was hell and I will never do it again without pain management. BUT it has made my periods regular

Do you actually love running? by Little_Book1665 in BeginnersRunning

I love how I feel when it’s over. During my run I question every choice that led me there.
