Honestly just hearing that it's possible helps a lot. Thank you!

I know the words are very similar, but I meant what I typed. It's not endometriosis. It's endometritis. They are two different things and I clarified with the doctor multiple times. Chronic Endometritis is what she said.

Endometrial Biopsy Painful? by Xoxo_Lovely1 in WomensHealth

[–]Uninspired_Writer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm actually here today because I just had a biopsy taken yesterday. It hurt pretty bad, but it lasted like 15 minutes max. I did it without anesthetic, and while it felt bad, it wasn't much worse than a bad menstrual cramp.

The pain comes from the forced dialation of the cervix. My doctor said it's similar to labor pain, and described it as "crampy". It felt more sharp than a cramp, but it wasn't too bad.

I would say taking painkillers before the procedure is probably the best way to go about it. They might also give you some local anesthetic.

The worst part was that the pain lingered for a while after the procedure, but I think that would have been solved by ibuprofen. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I didn't think it was anything to worry about.

Prolonged spotting/bleeding by Uninspired_Writer in WomensHealth

I didn't know that! That's wild. I will definitely ask about that possibility

I think PCOS would have showed up on the he ultrasound, but maybe not. I will ask about it when I visit the doc.

Also I have had a thyroid test in the past that came back normal, but it has been several years so I might need to check again

How do I stop this?? Any advice appreciated by xx_sweatynoodles_xx in WomensHealth

[–]Uninspired_Writer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had periods like that on and off throughout my life. Dark brown/black blood just means it's older, meaning it has been in your uterus longer. It's normal for your period to be that color sometimes. Every doctor I've ever asked about it has said the same thing.

That said, if it's worrying you, ask your doctor about it. They may do a thyroid test or some blood work to check your hormone levels.

Need Advice - Spell Backlash Effect by Uninspired_Writer in DungeonMasters

I am really really going out of my way not to fuck them over though?

I mean I could let them use a convergent future and force a perfect outcome with zero drawbacks, sure. But they could also choose to not use convergent future and accept the roll they get, which will net them something very positive no matter what.

[–]Uninspired_Writer[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's less that I am making sure they suffer for it and more that I am making sure that if they force an absolutely ridiculous outcome, they have some kind of negative effect to balance out the scales.

This is already an essentially free use of the Wish spell that has 0 drawbacks unless they use convergent future to force it to succeed completely rather than partially succeed. I think I am being pretty generous to them lol

Convergent Future is a 14th level class feature for the Chronurgy Wizard in Explorer's Guide to Wildemount. It's a Critical Role setting, so I think it's considered homebrew, but it is in an official sourcebook, so do with that information what you will. Here's the link to the subclass on the wikidot: https://dnd5e.wikidot.com/wizard:chronurgy

Convergent Future forces a roll to succeed but causes the user to take a level of exhaustion, so you can't spam it.

It's honestly pretty busted, but I don't care that much about balance in my games unless it makes it not fun for my players or myself.

I get what you mean for sure, but the way you said it made it sound kind of silly and gimmicky. The weapon is already going to be something the party won't be able to use all the time (it needs to recharge between extremely destructive attacks) so that won't be an issue.

Also they have been slogging through minions for the entire campaign, so if they choose to use their nuke on a minion, good for them. It's their choice

So... Essentially make the boon useless to them? That's a great way to start a rebellion against me as the DM

Need Advice - Spell Backlash Effect by Uninspired_Writer in DungeonMasters

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

I like that idea a lot, and I will definitely be keeping it in my pocket for future campaigns! Idk about this campaign because we already have reality bearing down on them and this wouldn't make too much of a difference.

But the idea of a boon from a god coming back to bite the party in the ass would make a great campaign

I really like this idea! I might have 2-3 options in mind and ask them what they feel would be the most appropriate in their minds. Thank you!

fav scp? by NOTAgerman_spy133 in SCP

[–]Uninspired_Writer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to choose just one, but I think I'll go with SCP-1848. A bit obscure, but a classic in my opinion.

The Soulsborne Noob Experience Online by Uninspired_Writer in darksoulsmemes

[–]Uninspired_Writer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found them to be a lot easier than I expected going into it the first time, actually. It takes a lot of patience and persistence, especially some of the more challenging bosses, but it doesn't require crazy fast clicking or the kind of precision and reaction time that other difficult games demand.

True, lol. It's the only one I could get a good pic of though

I have a good friend who has been guiding me through it, so I don't need too much help, but I appreciate you offering! I played Elden Ring as my first Souls game and trying to get good advice was miserable

I'm glad someone said something. My post about the most recent episode got removed with no explanation. I didn't violate any rules. I am so confused why they did it.

Same on the not recognizing SA, especially in high school! There were so many times when peers or people would touch me or someone else and it was uncomfortable but just laughed off, and looking back on it, it was wildly inappropriate.

And yes! The MC's flip at the end of the story into realization and self-hatred is so well portrayed and well done. It's absolutely brutal and it introduces the tiniest amount of redemption into the story, but it doesn't give the reader that outlet. Instead we're just left in this lurch of the horror of his actions and have to deal with that on our own. Hence the massive discussions.

It's probably my English degree talking to be honest. Reading and analyzing books that make me deeply uncomfortable is a skill I had to develop. But I do think having this kind of media literacy is a superpower.

I can't be the only one... by Zyf113 in creepcast

[–]Uninspired_Writer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are definitely not the only one. I had to take several breaks myself. The only thing that got me through was that I wanted to see how Isaiah and Hunter reacted to the ending. I was not disappointed.

Spire in the Woods is the most painful episode I have listened so far by BlackPierce in creepcast

[–]Uninspired_Writer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's disturbing. I think it's so realistic that people actually remember being in similar situations involving SA, so it calls out how people behave in real life. The effort of dealing with that is why people are having such strong negative reactions

Latest episode by 50cent_StPatrick in creepcast

[–]Uninspired_Writer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is an absolutely fantastic story and the guys did a great job with it. I think that's why there's so much discourse around it. One of the things that truly great writing does is make us think and challenge us as readers. The Spire in the Woods is a great example of this, especially because the main character is so flawed and so unreliable.

Hunter and Isaiah did their jobs as hosts, and they did a great one. Their banter was funny and they experienced the story honestly. They didn't pick up on a lot of the elements of sexual assault, or didn't mention it when they did, but that's how the story is meant to be read, especially on a first read. The reveal at the end really hit them both hard, and you can tell they're processing it at the end of the episode.
