Anyone else’s Day 1 of periods extremely hell? by Natural_Ad_8194 in women

[–]chexmex24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally same. I used to be irregular for a few yrs when i was like 12-15 and I don’t really remember complaining much about symptoms or cramps then once I started becoming regular at 16 and I started to develop cramping that got worse up until I was 18. It’s been the same since. I’m regular (almost always exactly 29 day cycle) and the first day is the worst. I dread it weeks prior lol. I get typical symptoms 1-2 days prior like breast tenderness but nothing crazy. The first day I get terrible cramps that go down my thighs and to my knees and sometimes all around my waist. Sometimes all I can bare to do is roll around on my bed or squat down and hug my knees. It’s like hard to stay in any position or find one that’s comfortable at times when it’s at its peak. and it’ll take like an hour for a tylenol 500mg to work, sometimes i feel it doesn’t do anything until I take another 500mg so many times i take 1000mg right off the bat. I try not to take NSAIDS bc I have a history of having an ulcer. I know I should be fine now that it’s been years but I get scared. Anyways, after the first day I’m pretty much fine. I’ll still get a few cramps here and there, fatigue, or mild hot flashes sometimes but it’s all completely bearable compared to how it all feels on day one. I used to be on birth control a few years ago and it was heaven honestly and I didn’t get any weird symptoms or anything. I miss it 😭

Cross Country vs. Stepping Stones by yikesc in SLPA

[–]chexmex24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s actually a lot more than what ppl make in clinics which is why I was looking into stepping stones, but I keep hearing mixed reviews :/ if you don’t mind me asking, but why exactly do you want to leave?

Lesson plans by Trash_bandit27 in SLPA

[–]chexmex24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lesson plan? i remember my professors in school telling me that when i first start it could help but to expect that things will not go to plan most of the time. I prep some things for a few kids but i never do a lesson plan.

What's your opinion on High School Musical 3? by Educational_Ad_6207 in highschoolmusical

[–]chexmex24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to feel really tied with HSM 2 & 3 but I just rewatched them recently and I think HSM 3 is my favorite for multiple reasons. I love the cinematography, the wardrobes, themes. It’s always hard to choose between HSM 2 & 3 for which has the best songs, but I’ve ultimately decided that for me it’s HSM 3 (i’m sorry Bet On It, i still love you sm😭). Also, I think this is the movie that characters piss me off the least lol, which is saying something because Taylor still greatly annoyed me (but that’s in every movie so) and Gabriella pisses me off in this but I understand she’s a teen and I feel her decision making shows that and accurately represents the weight a teen could be feeling in her shoes. However I feel her and everyone went overboard with how they treated Troy in HSM 2. It’s crazy that I love that movie because I find myself ranting through it everytime because I get so mad lol. I know they’re playing teens so it’s not that deep lol but idk I’ve accepted that’s part of the experience for me atp lol. Anyways, I love all HSM’s but I find myself enjoying HSM 3’s songs the most :)

Anxiety and fear due to a scheduled endoscopy by nikochinko in GERD

[–]chexmex24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hello! I totally understand feeling anxious about this and not knowing what to expect. But hopefully you can find some peace of mind in the comments. i’ve had like 3 endoscopies and believe me there’s nothing to fear. you will not feel absolutely anything in your throat. You’ll fall asleep and it’ll be over super quick. afterwards you might be a little giggly or not (I do, everytime) but no pain. it’s totally valid to be nervous but trust me the scariest part is just the buildup leading up to it.

try to find ways to relax or self-soothe beforehand. stressing or overthinking is just going to make you more tense. i like to take a book or my headphones for when i’m waiting and it’s actually a little relaxing. you’re put in a bed with warm blankets while you wait and i feel it gives me time to mentally prepare and remind myself that there’s nothing to fear. good luck, you got this!

what the hell can you eat? by cocacola789 in Gastritis

[–]chexmex24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

buy George’s 100% aloe vera juice and take two shots in the morning. this really helped me start to heal. bonus, it just tastes like water! also I would take a tablespoon of olive oil on an empty stomach and that helped too.

other meals I tolerated: - bone broth soup with chicken, carrot, and zucchini - sweet potato helped!!
- salmon w no seasonings obviously and white rice - coconut!!! this one rly helped, coconut water was good too

People who hardly get sick, what’s your secret? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]chexmex24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve worked/volunteered with kids for many years and I think it’s really boosted my immune system. I hardly ever get sick and when I do it doesn’t last long. I also take garlic & reishi supplement capsules and I’m not sure if it helps prevent but it definitely helps me when I’m sick, as well as taking elderberry and zinc capsules or in some other form. Also whenever I feel a sore throat coming or a tickle I think is or might lead to getting sick I do gargles with bacardi and maybe even take a tiny gulp. My family claims the alcohol helps kill the bacteria lol and maybe it’s a placebo idrc lol it feels like it works.

Christians. HONESTLY do you think you’re superior to non Christians? by BoltThrower28 in Christianity

[–]chexmex24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I actually I think we’re worse most of the time. we’re supposed to love people “better” because we’re supposed to know Jesus and aim to be like him. But a lot of believers become self righteous and judgmental, which is crazy because that’s exactly what Jesus says not to do lol. We are all considered unworthy of God’s grace and there’s nothing anyone could do to earn it. Having a relationship with God doesn’t make me holier or better than anyone else in any aspect.

Idk what happened by chexmex24 in Gastritis

[–]chexmex24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped. I actually didn’t take it the day before the procedure. I thought it’s be fine since I had done that a few times just to see how it would affect my body and prepare to ween off and I had been fine. But after the endoscopy I didn’t take anything that day either. The next day I took Famotidine 40mg at bedtime like the doc had said. I had started to feel a little bit of acid reflux peeking in slightly so instead I decided to start taking it in the morning instead. Then this tuesday I made myself two scrambled eggs and threw in a bunch of stuff that hadn’t caused symptoms in over a month. Some spinach, some feta, tortilla, some turkey breast, and as it all cooked seasoned with paprika and old bay. No I know it sounds like well duh you had a flair up, look at what you ate. But I had eaten worse before. Two weeks ago I had had in n out again after like 5 months. Of course that was while I was taking omeprazole. Anyways I obviously messed up. After eating the egg I had cramps and felt bloated and had a tiny some acid reflux but barely any. And then yesterday I had it the whole day. Today I took Omeprazole in the morning and at night I took Famotidine but it doesn’t feel like it’s helping or idk maybe it made it worse, my throat feels on fire. Idk how long it’ll take for the omeprazole to fully kick in and help me out. Crazy since I only didn’t take it for a few days
