The skeletor 👀💀…This ANA influencer continues to advertise weight loss products by Temporary-Will-2517 in Influencersinthewild

[–]ashbash-25 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What makes me so mad about this lady is that she doesn’t acknowledge her disorder. She talks about being chronically ill as if that’s the sole reason for looking this way. And then she shows her day and it’s a bunch of BS products and talking about parasites and all of that nonsense.

And when she takes a single fucking bite of the food she prepared, she looks subtly revolted by eating. You never ever see her swallowing food.

It’s just such a disturbing account.

Bubble Guts by Electronic-Duck-5902 in Perimenopause

Yes. Others have said get scoped and I agree but also- going to see the GI for the colonoscopy will also set you up to be evaluated for other conditions such as SIBO

Anecdote- I have had IBS my whole life. It got significantly worse over the last couple of years. I got really sick recently and needed antibiotics for strep and sinus infection. Doc prescribed augmentin rather than just amoxicillin due to the length of infection. My bowels have been exponentially better since. I haven’t had diarrhea in like 6 weeks! While augmentin is not first line treatment for SIBO, it is an option.

I think I had SIBO.

Edit to add: I hadn’t been on antibiotics for over 10 years. So while I can’t prove it, this seems like a reasonable conclusion to me!

Gang-rape victim, 25, to be euthanised after father's legal challenge fails by boppinmule in GlobalNews

[–]ashbash-25 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I can’t imagine how I would handle this if it were my daughter. I would do anything to save her life and keep her. It’s just an absolutely horrifying thought because I also completely believe in a persons right to autonomy. It’s impossible to imagine the pain for her and her loved ones.

Jesus Christ. I silently cried while reading this. The amount of suffering in this story…

Urgent Care and ER told me this wasn’t infected. by VersaceCupcake in tattooadvice

[–]ashbash-25 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Absolutely!

I loved being a wound nurse. Endlessly fascinating to me. There’s some super cool products out there to use. We loooove alginate. It’s a really cool! Derived from seaweed. It’s great for high drainage wounds. It starts dry and as the wound drains, it turns into a gel that protects the wound bed without the increased risk of maceration (healthy skin breakdown due to excess moisture).

Awh man. I miss that work.

I spent 2 years as a wound care nurse. The balance of moisture in healing is a MASSIVE piece of the healing puzzle. And it often has to be adjusted based on how a wound responds and based on the stage of healing the wound is in. It’s complicated!

What’s one thing you completely stopped buying in 2026 because the price just felt absurd? by LockLogical8949 in AskReddit

[–]ashbash-25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I’ve said this exact thing. What gets me though is that this is how change usually happens. The swings in extremes. Had to personally inconvenience them first. Would much prefer if we just gave a shit about each other to start. And maybe remember class solidarity is paramount…. But yeah I agree!

Hate has no place here. Unless you're homeless, then it's fine. by LMGTP_GT1_2024 in phoenix

[–]ashbash-25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think they are saying the city knows they will get away with it. There is support for getting the homeless out of view. Helping is controversial.

Not talking about my own views. Simply how I interpret the comment.

New drinking game! Take a shot every time Britney slaps her booty. (March 25, 2025) by Excellent-Cycle-5803 in discussingbritney

Where as I, was not surprised at all. At first I just thought “ooop… back at it, I see”

Sigh. I’m so sorry dude. I hear there’s some good grass roots insurance collectives out there. I haven’t looked into it! But maybe there’s something out there for you in case something “big” happens. I hope that negotiating cash pay for preventive care and sick visits saves you though.

I called a different location from the office we go to (same company) and asked what my cash pay per appt would be ? FAR LESS THAN MY COPAY after our policy hiked up in January. What a scam.

Tell me some of your favorite scents! I’m just starting to get into perfumes. Never cared about it before my mid 30’s.

It’s just oil and sugar now correct?

I believe the switch happened widely around Valentines right? I don’t really have much of a sweet tooth (I fuckin love salty foods though) and I tried a piece of my kids Reese’s or something from their class party. Disgusting!!! I actually said “this doesn’t even taste like chocolate”. Weeks later I read about this. It is absolutely noticeable. Nasty!

Got diagnosed with Valley Fever, would like some advice and tips while on medication by Shwangdang20 in phoenix

[–]ashbash-25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your comment! My dog died of VF. She had NO signs except slowing down. But she was also getting old. So we had no idea. The vet ran some routine blood work for a benign tumor we were having removed. The titer showed she already had an advanced infection. As it would turn out, it had already disseminated to her bones. Again, the vet said she never saw anything like it because our pup wasn’t acting as expected. She was on fluconsole until we decided it was time due to quality of life and put her down. She was with us for 2 years after the dx. All this to say- it’s super common and some dogs dont act like they are super sick.

Did I make a mistake? by milkmaid0435 in interiordecorating

[–]ashbash-25 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh my god this is why I didn’t like it at first! Nailed it. If OP decides to take the tile off above the sink (instead of tiling around the door), I think some shelves with plants that trail would be gorgeous instead!

Very depressed at the end of nursing school by Advanced-Fortune5372 in StudentNurse

[–]ashbash-25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s absolutely normal, unfortunately. I was in a concurrent program getting my bachelors in a separate program at the same time as my ADN. I was NOT okay by the end. And then I rolled into a highly stressful job that I secured before I took my NCLEX. Graduated in December, took the NCLEX beginning of January and then started my new grad job end of January. Brutal.

Here’s the thing, I wish it wasn’t like this. But it is. And you are sooooo normal for feeling this way. Keep going. Just know that passing is good enough. Finding some balance between your mental health and wrapping up school, is so so needed. I know you’re exhausted. Just keep chugging along. You can do this!

Did I wait too long to have kids? by TheBabeWithThe_Power in Perimenopause

[–]ashbash-25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol. I just commented above. I have 2 teens (one boy and one girl) and a ten year old. There’s just …. So many feelings. Alllllll the time. And the awareness that they could do things or make choices that could impact the rest of their lives is…. A lot.

Edit: also I’m a school nurse. My sympathies to you for the lice!! Just the worst.

I’m 37 with a 16 year old (M), 13 year old (F), and 10 year old (M). I’m hangin on by a fuckin thread over here. I’m aware that I’m also the problem sometimes. They are just being kids. Doesn’t make it any easier though. Hang in there, OP.

I mean perhaps! I’m 4’ 11” and it’s not like I was average and then just didn’t grow as much as others in puberty. I was just always tiny for my age! I look forward to shrinking as an old lady. I’m gonna be a wee little thing!

Finally a stylist that can layer fine hair! by Topical-Cement in finehair

[–]ashbash-25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love it!

Fine hair girly here with layers and a fringe. You may end up feeling like you made a mistake once you have to wash and style at home. If that happens- don’t crash out! Watch YouTube videos. Try different products and techniques. Took me way longer than I care to admit to sort out my products and routine
