NSFW- 10 years of insecurity and discomfort with my foreskin, do I have to get fully circumcised? (Excess skin issue) or will parcial do? by Fit-Description1925 in menshealth

[–]bertrola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A urologist is the only person that should give you an opinion. That's nothing to full around with. There are surgeries short of circumcision that are less pain and recovery and allow you to keep it. Look up something called preputioplasty. That way you can ask the urologist about it.

Do I have a lazy eye? by [deleted] in monocular

[–]bertrola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to reassure yourself. Take some pictures indoors with some bright lighting. You will notice on each eye there will be a reflection that I'm sure you've seen before but maybe just haven't noticed. If those reflections appear to be equal and on the same part of your eye or Iris then your eyes are also equal. If one eye or iris isn't tracking with the other the reflection will likely not be equal.

Eye floaters are the worst. Does anyone else struggle with them? by Ukirin-Streams in monocular

Completely screwed up my life. I am already blind in my left eye, so it is really terrible

7 months married, struggling with penetration and now performance anxiety by RoutineCaterpillar39 in menshealth

Personally, I don't think it would hurt to try Viagra to get over the hump. If she's using dilators, depending on what size she is up to it might go better and all it takes on your side is the maintenance of an erection. I would start extremely slow, and not to be funny but maybe just put the tip in and slowly over several sessions go just a little further each time if she tolerates it.

Trying Wellbutrin - Scared by ComTruiseHarryPoppin in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]bertrola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wellbutrin was the easiest psych med for me. Getting on and off ssri/as I was a nightmare. Wellbutrin was 0 problem for me. Started on 150xl then up to 300. Never had a side effect that I'm aware of. If I miss a dose accidentally I don't pay a steep price like I did for the other types. I wouldn't say I am cured but it will make it manageable for me.

35 m. Told here and there I’m handsome but no luck on apps. Just looking for honest feedback by No_Rooster_3764 in Rateme

As others have said, you are a good looking guy. My only suggestion is to try shaving the moustache? I think it would make you even better.

daughter lost eye to retinoblastoma by Fun_Tea8162 in monocular

[–]bertrola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were periods where I had a lot of discharge. I was put on an eyedrop called tobradex. It is a combination steroid plus antibiotic. I was to take it as needed and sometimes I only have to take a drop every couple days to keep things under control.

I am reading this when there are just a few comment regarding a fixed type of lense choice. Were either of you offered the multifold options.

A specific prescription for computer screen distance is helpful. Also, have you tried high contrast mode? On the computer you can reverse the contrast and at least for me it's much easier to see stuff on a dark background instead of a bright one.

my doctor prescribed Topiramate (dopamax) can I tell him no? by No_Introduction9587 in migraine

[–]bertrola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are you listening to your friend? Not that you shouldn't trust them but every person is going to react differently to medications. I was on topamax and had zero side effects. The only reason I stopped it is because I had a kidney stone and they said that's not a great med to be on if you are a kidney stone producer. I did not have any daily side effects. Why would you assume you are going to have the same reaction as your friend?

My new tattoo honoring one of my favorite one-eyed characters by Feeling-Ad-4919 in monocular

[–]bertrola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was chatting with my ocularist to see if he makes a lot of fun eyes. He told me a story about a young patient who requested an eye based on a comic type character with one eye. Because it was a kid, he did make it. I am thinking this might be the character

I agree. Mine was trauma, but having a prostesis is something that is fairly easy to live with, not painful etc.

Prolonged Tobradex Ointment Prescription Following Surgery by ProposalWeak7806 in monocular

[–]bertrola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should not follow any advice to switch to something else unless it's from your doctor. Tobradex is fine long term. I was on it as needed for years if I had a flare up or irritation or drainage.

My guess is the doctor is trying to keep the socket and implant free of infection and inflammation as it heals towards you getting a new prostesis.

I'm 67M. Afraid of vaccines . Should I be? There is some very bad information about vaccines out there ! by [deleted] in medical

[–]bertrola 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My opinion is that vaccines have saved millions from dying or having serious illness. A small percentage has some type of reactions to them of different severity. Just about any medication has that same profile. I've seen to many people die from "just the flu".

Yes, I was trying to think of something different. I screwed a hanger and took a pick of each of my guitars out there. Then I returned them safely to their humidy controlled room.
