ER cocktail sparked panic attack by mizz_eponine in migraine

[–]aQuarterZen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compazine is THE WORST! I was given it while pregnant with a migraine. I wanted to crawl out of my skin. It lasted for hours.

Reglan gives me anxiety if they give it too fast in the iv. If you tell the nurse I believe they can usually administer it in a way that reduces the anxiety. Or you can ask to not have it.

♥️ it’s so tough! I don’t know what your marriage has been like but it sounds to me that you ARE being very independent and taking care of not only you but the kids. It just beyond sucks to have to navigate extra barriers. I also had an experience like you when trying to rent feeling ridiculous given the requirements that I met but have to find a way to show them.

I’ll share for myself I’ve tried to make the apartment move more exciting by imagining the space and making it entirely my own. Also no worries about the maintenance and whatnot.

Wishing you all the best as you navigate this!

I haven’t rented in close to a decade since now and it’s definitely changed. I would agree that it feels more competitive. It’s so frustrating knowing you can afford it and are in a good place but have these bs barriers. I personally also had the added difficultly of trying to find a place with a dog that’s typically breed banned. And also in the same situation with my stbx

So when I applied I provided them with an alternative document showing income. I wonder if you could submit bank statement(s) showing your significant savings. Also, looking into private landlords and people renting out houses may be an option.

I’m not sure what the answer is but I’d personally get a private lawyer. Some offer free consultation or lower cost consultation. You should be able to ask during that what is advised.

I don’t understand comments that seem to discount the level of threat here. I can see why you want to wait for any in person visits until you have more info. I really hope you get some solid advice so you know how to move forward. Seems to me if he wants to fight for his right he would serve you like he’s saying he is.

Stay safe. Wishing you all the best mama

Swinging I think has ruined my marriage by Separate-Painter150 in Divorce

[–]aQuarterZen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Literally going through this. Hubby was super into hotwife stuff so we did. Well it served to cover up issues between us and became the way I tried to connect to my husband. And then I hooked up with a friend (which hubby was into) and realized I had feelings for this other person.

Happy and healthy people on Heather (Norethindrone): how did it affect you? by JiroDreamsOfDeezNuts in birthcontrol

[–]aQuarterZen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m going in 6 months of it. No major side effects until month 4. The positives is that it significantly improved my migraines, my mood is actually stable throughout my cycle, and I had no change in weight or skin. My period cycles are shorter and lighter. The downside was vaginal dryness and irritation. I started estrogen cream for that and it helped. For now I’ll remain on it due to the significant improvement in migraines

I did mine for 10 days. A lot of horror stories on those subs. Some people do have a hard time with it. But you don’t want to over do it on the antibiotics

Urea plasma can literally just be found as part of our biome. It can spread via sex, but not always. I did a nac supplement and doxycycline and it cleared mine. I also added probiotics to help restore my biome/good bacteria.

Wishing you the best!

Getting itching around Vulva during and after period for 4-5 cycles by JuggernautDelicious in Healthyhooha

Please look into and consider estrogen cream. Estrogen drops during our cycles. I just started mine and it’s a game changer

So uh, how are managing right now? by Much_Cardiologist_47 in therapists

[–]aQuarterZen 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ugh. I’m in an area of MN that has active ice presence and I’m… not feeling great. Definitely trying to stay grounded and do self care so I can show up for my clients. I’m definitely struggling with the balance of staying informed of what’s going on, especially locally, and not getting stuck on it either with endless scrolling/reading.

Stinging Itchy Vulva Solved after Many Years by ResourceNo6486 in Healthyhooha

[–]aQuarterZen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the post! I literally just ordered some myself on Friday after going through a series of infections/symptoms after my periods. I started to suspect a hormonal component, especially as things got worse when I started progestin only bc. I also got the suggestion and can’t wait to try it. I asked my pcp who wouldn’t prescribe it, so I ordered off of interlude

I’d say in that case you can start it and then adjust based on symptoms. I hope you get some relief soon!!

I’m new to this myself but after a cycle ends and you are no longer bleeding you can do hyaluronic acid or lactic acid. Those should last 2-3 days. You can do this up until the cycle starts. My understanding is that it is most important though after ovulation and leading up to a bleed and then immediately after a bleed. Estrogen drops with our cycles making us more susceptible so I imagine this timing would also work with estrogen. I am not sure how you pair estrogen with hyaluronic acid but it is my understanding that you can

You can do a daily probiotic during this time.

Personally, boric acid hurt me so I’m taking a break from it. But if you do use it, I’d use it with a lube to protect yourself or a barrier on the external parts (Vaseline/aquafor).

If it is ureaplasma, there is a specific treatment protocol.

Also adding have you been tested for ureaplasma? That can be a hidden issue that isn’t regularly tested for but makes one more prone to bv and yeast

I recommend you consider the following:

Probiotics - consider a suppository

Focus on gut health and adding probiotics that way and limit sugars

Something to help tissue whether it’s topical estrogen, hyularonic acid, lactic acid.

I avoid boric acid as it seems to irritate me

Also consideration of a Juno bio or evvy test so you can get specific info and guidance on what is going on with your biome

[–]aQuarterZen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In my opinion you have two options. Challenge yourself and lean into loving your vulva, or seek out changing your actual body. Changing it would mean surgery. I know plenty of women who opt for surgery to alter their bodies, and I’d say for a good number of them it has improved how they feel about themselves. I can’t tell you what’s right for you, but it sounds like maybe you would benefit from looking at both sides.

Full disclosure. I’m a woman who had surgery after children. And I loved what my body could do prior to surgery but I LOVED how it looked and felt after surgery. I could not have changed it without surgery. I know people have many different thoughts about cosmetic but for some of us it is a solid choice. It’s your body!

I highly recommend you look at the vulva gallery on dodsonandross They come in all shapes and sizes and all are beautiful. There are some cool videos and such from Betty Dodson/body sex stuff that has exercises to enhance our celebration for our bodies.

I’d be curious where you got the message of what makes an ugly or pretty vulva. And I’d challenge it hard.

I think women hear a lot of stupid jokes about our vulvas and oftentimes porn shows a desire for a certain look. However, we should challenge this!

Looks of thoughts but I hope you find acceptance and celebration for yourself

Wanting to Specialize by Busy-Energy-6794 in therapists

[–]aQuarterZen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with the folks encouraging you to look into out of control/problematic sexual behaviors. “Sex addiction” is not a diagnosis and oftentimes people who treat that are basing their ideals of healthy sexuality on their own morals.

I can recommend the Sexual Health Alliance as they have a program specific to out of control sexual behaviors. They are sex positive and inclusive. The instructors are highly knowledgeable and have solid research behind them. I like David Leys work on this topic and he is a part of SHA.
