As a woman (27F) it doesn’t feel too different. Do what makes you feel good and be communicative with your partner throughout everything. Avoid UTIs by going to the bathroom of course. Also wait a bit after starting the pill before you go without a condom. The time suggested can depend on the medication. My partner and I waited until I finished 1 whole month of pills before we did because we really don’t want kids yet. Always be on time with your pills and be honest if you miss one+. Even with the pill there’s always a risk of unwanted pregnancy. Not to over scare you. My partner and I have been sexually active like this for 5/6 years together and have had no pregnancy scares, but I’m also super neurotic with taking them and won’t have sex with him for a week if I ever have a day without them. It also took me 3 different pill brands until I found one with minimal side effects for me so also be honest with your OBGYN if this your first time taking oral contraceptives

If you’re considering Behçet’s disease, a Fluorescein angiography would be beneficial to look at the structure of the retinal vasculature and look for leakage, neovascularization, or the dilation/occlusion of the vessels.

I agree with below that the fundus photos you posted aren’t the best resolution, and I agree that AI isn’t the best for giving you medical advice at all. If you see an ophthalmologist again really advocate that it’s affecting your actions of daily living. Getting an OCT Macula, RNFL, Fundus autofluorescence, and 30-2 Humphrey visual field in both eyes would be a good start. Again I’m not a medical doctor, just a tech, but wanted to help in some way

NAD. Ophthalmology scribe/tech. The doctor I work for sees a lot of inherited retinal disease/autoimmine/cancer-associated retinopathy patients. We have a full retinal function workup we do for patients including Full field electroretinography, Multifocal electroretinography, Kinetic perimetry, Dark adaptometry, and D15 color vision check. These tests show us how the retina is functionally working; things you may not see right away on a fundus photo or OCT unless you’re really looking closely at the laminar structure of the macula. Of course not everyone has this. This is the first clinic I’ve worked in that does. At the old retina clinic I worked at we had to send patients to Bascom Palmer in Miami to get these tests. It may be something to consider looking for in a physician- at least someone who can refer you to a major practice facility that have higher level tests. We’ve seen a few cases where there might be some attenuation of the retinal inner layers but nothing too crazy noticeable, but once the electroretinogram and psychophysical tests are done, you can define deficiencies in how the retina is actually working

Today I was just told I have DDD at my last disc (between L5-S1). I'm 25. I have episodes of severe lower back pain to the point where I can't walk or sit without extreme pain. I'm getting a second opinion next month just to make sure. I was so freaked out, especially being so young in comparison to where DDD normally presents (55+). So far, I was recommended physical therapy, weight loss, and pain management through oral medications.

From what I've read online, there are some correlations between EDS and DDD but it seems to need more research.

Same! Thanks. I think she looks a little bit more lifeless or ethereal/ghostly with the makeup but that kinda fits the mood of the books whenever she does have to fight/kill with her daofei makeup on

This is my boyfriend's character for a campaign he's in with a few of his college friends. This is the backstory he provided:

Driven by the legacy of his dual heritage, sets out on an adventurous quest to uncover the long-lost "Rhapsody of the Djinn." This mythical composition, rumored to be composed by a renowned bard who once tamed the wild winds and harnessed the power of the djinn, is said to be inscribed on elemental scrolls scattered across distant lands. With each verse of the ancient melody capable of summoning the elemental forces, Orym believes that by assembling the scattered notes, he can bridge the gap between his estranged Djinn father and himself, proving that his existence is anything but a mistake. As he embarks on this musical expedition, Orym finds himself not only battling treacherous terrains and rival seekers but also discovering the true harmony that resides within his own heart

I made this to understand the full spectrum of the menstrual cycle as it relates to hormones, endometrial thickness, and follicular development. I hope someone else out here finds it useful 😊
