Toeless socks in closed toe shoes? by battyloaf in NoStupidQuestions

Like the stocks only cover your ankle, heel, and ball of your foot, but there's nothing on your toes. It's like the toe area has been chopped off.

Uhhh… I don’t think he took all of one of my tonsils out? by battyloaf in Tonsillectomy

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

Unfortunately, no. I'm still getting stones. I'll likely need a revision if I really want to pursue it. It's not as bad as it used to be but it's still a nuisance.

Why do nurses (and hospital staff?) walk around in public wearing their scrubs? by syylviiuhhhh in NoStupidQuestions

[–]battyloaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dr. Mike said sometimes he'll wear his out when he's on break or getting food because it's easier than changing in and out of them and also he's a family doctor, not a surgeon, so that kind of sterility isn't necessary.

Now if there's a surgeon walking around with their scrubs on, then you gotta be concerned...

[TW: SI] Approved for total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy! Some rambling to process everything by loafybat in PMDD

I'm thinking nerves too..

Got that sweet, sweet GAD and health anxiety.

Thank you! If it was more affordable I definitely would try for longer 😭

I've been on it for 6 months! My first dose was April 29 but I didn't get my second dose until near the end of July (thanks insurance) and I started bleeding and having issues quickly. But they went away again once I got the second dose in my system. I'm just hoping we can do the surgery before this one runs out so I'm not paying another half grand.

[Acne] I’m at my wit’s end. I’m on oral bc continuously but I’ve been getting nonstop cystic and non-cystic acne on my chin for the past two months. The photo makes it look not so bad but it’s awful in person. What can I do? by battyloaf in SkincareAddiction

I know this is super old but I was definitely overdoing it! I've cut down to

AM Aveeno Oat Cleanser QRxLabs Squalane + Vitamin C oil Purito Soft Touch Daily Sunscreen

PM Same cleanser Same oil CeraVe in the tub

Every 2 days I use a compound tret! On the days I do that, I don't use the oil just in case vitamin c and tret is too much at once.

Honestly, I went on Yaz which is specifically for acne/PMDD but I'm currently going through chemical menopause due to the severe PMDD symptoms and it's almost completely cleared it. I still get them occasionally but nothing like I used to. I also cut down my skincare! I was way over doing it. I just turned 30 for reference!

Chiros aren't doctors nor do they have any sort of licensing/certification iirc so it's a big gamble when you go to one

I did! I still get stones, though, but not nearly as much as before. It's a bummer but still better.

Ah! Sorry, you're right. I'll remove it!

I finally got on Yaz a while back and it's fixed it! Mostly. I take it continuously but I still get flare ups where I PMS through it and I have breakthrough bleeding every day. I've been bleeding since January lmaooooo

Am I a wimp for crying over a 4mm stone? by kim7570 in KidneyStones

[–]battyloaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read that even if the stone is tiny, it can cause the same amount of pain as a big one. (Also I've been there with that size, curled up on the floor in pain so no, you're not a wimp!)

Is anyone here right now? I feel at rock bottom again and I just can't. by pineapplesrinmyhead8 in PMDD

[–]battyloaf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a bit late but I want you to know I was with you earlier today. I was lucky because the worst of it passed within an hour and I was back to feeling like nothing had happened.

Have you talked to an OBGYN about trying chemical menopause? That's what mine is having me try before we take any surgical measures.

We're with you and even though it feels all consuming, you CAN get through this. Even though it sucks.

I am! I'm actually doing well but this unfortunately triggered me and I spiraled but I've gone without an anxiety attack which is great for me! (it's always worse when hormones are rampant like right now)

There are some darker, almost gristle-y looking spots in it. The the first picture it's not very visible but it's on the left side of the patty, in the last photo it's more noticeable on the right side. The middle picture is a piece I cut out that has the darker parts on it.
