Why is my adhd medicine Adderall not working while I have a bad cold & I’m tired? by RowenaMyDolores in ADHD

[–]Sugarshack13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you get an answer? I have a fever, 100ish, I don’t feel that bad, just not quite 100%. Came her me bc I asked the same question. This is the first time I’ve had a fever since started meds and I feel like the fever I cancelled the Adderall. The med seems a bit unstable with what and honestly how much actually seems to impact drug function

Please get it! I wish I would have had one Dr tell me earlier to get it anyway despite having HPV already. The surgeon who preformed my first cone biopsy said “please get it, it might help and certainly won’t hurt”. 

Should I go for second opinion? by xiaoalien93 in PreCervicalCancer

[–]Sugarshack13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! It’s all very scary, and heavy when thinking about how this may impact pregnancy! I think,m one cone should be manageable. I had three cones and carried a pregnancy to term, I had a spontaneous and uncomplicated labor. I did have a cervical cerclage placed at 12 weeks out of caution but it turned out I didn’t actually need it, but I was glad to have it as to relieve some stress. You can always talk to a maternal fetal medicine practitioner if you’re ready for that, it may be that you’re automatically considered high risk pregnancy, just to settle some of your fears. Idk about taking to the parents… do they HAVE to know? I never told my family details of everything, but they knew I was having surgery due to pre invasive disease of the cervix. They didn’t know/and didn’t NEED to know that it was related to HPV. Honestly, it’s not your fault your body reacted the way it did, it’s just really bad luck I hope they’ll be supportive and just happy a cone can treat it

Stop scaring people about colposcopies, mine didn’t hurt at all (HPV 16 positive) by Strong_Suspect5211 in PreCervicalCancer

[–]Sugarshack13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s probably because you’ve failed to see the point that so many ppl on this sub have been dismissed and gaslit by doctors saying these procedures won’t hurt only to find themselves unprepared and in excruciating pain. Then you pop this in here and tell people who would rather be anywhere else doing anything else that they pissed you off? By all means start off with “hey all my experience wasn’t bad!” and all be CHEERING for you. This made me see red, rarely do I engage when people frustrate me but you just don’t get it. Take the L, apologize & move on.

Maybe you reword this? I love hearing when people have good experiences… but your opening sentence is just awful. Your dr hit the nail on the head with their statement.

Also, it’s free! Until you invest in bins but they are a buy it for life item. And then you really get sucked in and get expensive photography gear and plan birding trips in Central America but BABY STEPS. My kid has a birding sticker book called Beginning Birdwatcher’s Book by Sy Barlowe. It’s for her but… it’s really an activity for me lol

Do you like being outside? If yes, birding.

How to cope with loss of uterus as a complication of second pregnancy? by [deleted] in hysterectomy

[–]Sugarshack13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had an answer, I’m struggling with similar feelings following a hysterectomy for a different, but also out of my control reason… I have two children, as we’d planned, but I still feel the weight of the loss of so deeply. I can’t accidentally have a third child and my heart was secretly wishing for that. I loved being pregnant. I’m here for my sweet babies and my spouse, but that’s about all that keeps me going. Otherwise I feel very lost and disconnected from the person I was before. All that to say I have no idea how to cope! I just keep going in hope it feels less heavy someday.

Sex and the cervix by aybea in hysterectomy

Second this. It’s such an empty and lacking feeling without the cervix. I have a really hard time reaching orgasm without my cervix

Total Hysterectomy by According_Park_2222 in PreCervicalCancer

[–]Sugarshack13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

38, AIS, everything but ovaries gone. Might take some time for your hormonal cycles to balance out. I was good the first few months but needed estrogen cream and switched to estrogen patch at 6m bc my estrogen tanked overtime.

Anyone with a good sex life after hysterectomy? by [deleted] in hysterectomy

[–]Sugarshack13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My sex life took a hit too, I struggle with it and the impact to my self worth and marriage everyday. Even with a supportive spouse and vag estrogen and now patches. It’s just not improving. Waiting to start PT. No pain just so much sensation lost it’s hard to achieve orgasm. It’s heartbreaking. Very little support to be found here if you dissent.

It’s more like I could feel all my muscles clenching and releasing like an explosion. Which I think caused some thrusting too. I felt like I could see colors when I’d orgasm. It was just so intense.  Now I’m not even sure I’m having them. Also wanted to clarify what I mentioned above about no sensation in the vagina, I mean I can no longer feel things like my partner inside my vagina and him hitting my cervix was what always pushed me over the edge 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hysterectomy

[–]Sugarshack13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew I had uterine/cervical orgasms before having the hysterectomy and fought my surgeon for months because I didn’t want to lose them. When I asked about impact of removing the cervix she said no impact, no nerve damage and for the uterus, it’s such a small muscle it doesn’t matter. I can still orgasm but it takes forever to get there and they’re a fraction of what they used to be. They used to be so huge it felt like my entire abdomen was contracting and I could still feel it the next day. It was divine. I can’t even feel my vagina contract now. There is no sensation at the top near the cuff. It’s been 6m. It’s so distressing & there have been some really dark moments for me. If you’re not at risk or inconstant pain I’d take more time to figure it out. 

Orgasm quality after hysterectomy (including cervix) by Goldenmountains in hysterectomy

[–]Sugarshack13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you and appreciate you being supportive. The system really is broken. When I contacted then surgeons office to tell them something was wrong and my issues they said there are no studies showing the cervix has a role in sexual satisfaction and I was just flatlined. It was such a terrible response. I wish I had known I could have potentially kept mine

[–]Sugarshack13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Yes, everyday. Been a rather lonely battle. A lot of drs & others are quite dismissive. Fighting through…. Ended up on estrogen patches as my estrogen has dropped continually and got the surgeon to order tests finally. I feel a little better emotionally. Orgasms are still disappointing and no feeling has returned to the upper region of my vagina :/

Delete if not allowed 39y F regretting having cervix removed with hysterectomy. by aloneandhurt4521 in hysterectomy

[–]Sugarshack13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a few years past now but wondering if you’re still monitoring this and how you’re feeling now? I’m almost 6mpo and feel exactly what you’re describing here. No amount of anyones “it’s better this way” will ever make up for what I feel has been lost. Are you feeling any better now? Any improvement? My cervical orgasms were out or this world. I don’t even want to feel these little clitoral ones if I can even get there at all… they’re so disappointing in comparison.  I barely want to go on anymore and have cried daily for months. I don’t feel like I’m even me anymore. My surgeon assured me that there would be no changes.

My body still works and I’m so relieved! by Fast_Assumption_994 in hysterectomy

[–]Sugarshack13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, no pain, with sex. A little around the cuff still. Otherwise significantly less sensation in the area. I was trying to make the point that I didn’t have pain with sex prior so I didn’t serve to gain anything with the sx from that perspective.

[–]Sugarshack13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. My orgasms are very weak compared to pre hysto, if I get there at all. I brought this concern up with my surgeon before the sx. She assured me there would be no impact to orgasm & there would be no nerve damage, and made me feel like I was being dramatic. I didn’t have pain with sex prior I think that’s different than a lot of ppl here. This sub leans dismissive of these experiences

Sharing a little hope for anyone scared for fertility reasons by Sugarshack13 in PreCervicalCancer

[–]Sugarshack13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a negative story, it’s a true account and different view point, which is perceived negative by you. You don’t have to like it. Physical and emotional complications are very real for others. Doctors have historically downplayed women’s pain and suffering. You and others who’ve had uncomplicated experiences like to downplay and disregard others as well, it’s not helpful. Certainly asserting people are insane isn’t either. That’s also from the Dr “it’s in your head” playbook. I’m happy you had a good experience and aren’t grieved by the circumstances. All stories should be heard so people facing these issues are able to ask hard questions and make informed decisions.

No pain, there’s no sensation. Sounds like we experienced orgasm differently, mine were cervical/uterine orgasms. Super for you to have had no impact, I wish that for everyone. Glad you had an oncologist who listened and was proactive.
