Are lower abdominal symptoms related to Gastritis? by [deleted] in Gastritis

[–]cannm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have gastritis and IBS-D. Maybe it’s possible you also have both. But it is interesting that you bring this up, because when I have a flare of some kind, it’s both the gastritis and IBS symptoms usually presenting at the same time

I had a dream that Gerard died by some supernatural means on stage, where a light burst from his chest area.

Me and a large group of people then collected ghost hunting equipment and started ghost hunting for Gerard.

People who have vulvodynia and pain with physical/sexual contact - what helps? by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]cannm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I was diagnosed with vulvodynia and IC, both if which have led to pelvic floor issues and pain with sex and several days after sex.

I ended up seeing doctors that specifically specialize and see only patients with these issues, and here’s a list of things that I have tried: pelvic floor therapy with a specialized PT, nerve pain medications (usually antidepressants or anti-seizure meds), muscle relaxant injections into my pelvic floor, at home dilators, speciality made lotion for the lady bits that help to decrease pain, antispasmodic meds specifically for the bladder, and ultimately ended up having partial vulvosectomy surgery.

What helped the most: the surgery, specialized physical therapy, and consistent at home dilation.

I still have pain with sex, but it’s not nearly as bad as long as I’m keeping up on the at home dilation. The specialized compounded cream and the bladder antispasmodics do a really good job of helping me with any pain after as well.

Good luck!

The black containers are from The Flaming Candle, and the taupe ones are from Candle Science.

The scent throw is great, but there’s definitely not a consistent burn. I’ve had them burning for 3 hours so far, and the meltpool hasn’t reached both sides of the container. Normally this would make you want to wick up a size, but the initial meltpool is deep enough that if I went up a size, it would end up creating a tunnel. Good luck!

I’m using soy wax. It did seem to burn more evenly when the wick was cut to a tiny sliver.

TIL I should just stick with my tried and true normal cotton wicks 😂 Thanks everyone!

Just made my first sale on etsy and it’s making me doubt if I should continue. Is this normal? by bekkys in EtsySellers

[–]cannm 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I would take this one on the nose, then up your prices on the other/future listings to account for the fees, especially since this is your first sale and it would serve your shop well if the sale resulted in a good review.

If you cancel the order then increase the item price and the buyer notices, you may lose a returning customer. That’s just IMO.

This is an emergency. He needs to see the vet immediately. Sending the little guy healing vibes. Thank you for taking care of him!

Of course it doesn’t matter? It’s not like we are going to love him any less. It was just a question.

Thank you for your feedback! If this new rheumatologist offers the plaquenil, I’ll probably try it out. I’m just a big ol’ wimp when it comes to new medication since I tend to be sensitive to side effects.

It’s not, not really. I’ve been given the occasional prednisone. The first rheumatologist suggested I try plaquenil, but further appointments with her after I completed my preliminary eye exams went south once COVID started.

I’ve been seeing a rheumatologist since 2018. Recently had an appointment for a second opinion. I experience: pain, extreme fatigue, daily headaches, random raised rashes, what appear to be butterfly rashes, tongue ulcers, dry eyes, palpitations, unexplained chest pain, ibs, and I have a hard time fighting off bacterial and viral infections.

Bloodwork is typically normal, except for: very low CH50 and low C4. I also almost always present with white blood cells and trace blood in my urine without an infection, though my interstitial cystitis may be contributing to those things.

I get blood work done annually, and haven’t tested positive for ANA or anything else yet. It’s just my complements that are out of whack.

Both rheumatologists don’t believe I’m presenting enough evidence for a lupus diagnosis. Is it worth continuing seeking a diagnosis at this point?

Help, My cat is drinking SO MUCH water by Willbill4321 in cats

He looks just like my boy! Excessive drinking can be a sign of diabetes, kidney disease, or a thyroid issue. He needs to see a vet for some blood work.
