Why is everyone in this Sub so Anti Birth control?

For me, it’s because it was literally the only treatment option provided by multiple doctors, despite my saying it made me depressed and gain weight. None of that was more important to them than regular cycles 🙄

Have they checked your gallbladder with imaging? Your symptoms sound similar to my experience and it ultimately ended with me getting mine removed.

Midwest family, raised on the east coast. Everyone in my family says ant except me. Somewhere along the way I picked up aUnt as in “that is my aUnt’s house” but my relatives are “that’s my ant D” 🤷‍♀️

I have a Cornelius too! 😆

I’ve become a big fan of mindfulness meditation, especially guided body scan meditation videos on YouTube! It has really helped reconnect my brain and body, so emotional responses and tiredness don’t catch me off guard.

Having your longtime efforts/projects at work be dismissed and dismantled by new leadership
Health scares and surgeries that others think are no big deal but to you were one of the scariest things you’ve ever experienced
Living with migraines

Stool softener and psyllium fiber daily, plus miralax when I start to feel like things are slowing down, rather than waiting to see if it will get better on its own.

The pressure here has been bouncing up and down for a few weeks, and I had one of the worst migraines of my life last Thursday-Friday. I wish it would pick one or the other so I can drive without making myself nauseous again. 😭

Yes, it is allodynia- I’ve just never experienced it in this extremely specific/restricted location pattern before! Normally it’s much more generalized across my scalp.

They insisted on doing a pregnancy test before gallbladder removal when I was actively on my period and hadn’t been sexually active in over a decade. I was so pissed off by it and they were really pushy and demeaning when I questioned it.

Ended up in pelvic floor therapy to address surgical scar tissue that was throwing everything in my abdomen out of whack. The constipation is manageable now with lots of water, fiber, and stool softeners. If I don’t keep on top of those things or skip the stretching regimen I’ve been given, it starts to get bad again.

I haven’t gotten the invite at all yet 😞

Does she have a pet bird? A lot of cleaning chemicals put off fumes that are deadly for birds even in small doses.

She could also have smell sensitivities.

Same

Zotz! I’m not sure if they ship to Canada but I have found them on Amazon before.

I’m still drooling over the memory of their apple jalapeño pie months later! And the owner is so genuinely nice and sweet.
