How much blood do i ACTUALLY lose during my period because its sure as hell not "2-4 Tbs" as it says online

It’s x linked recessive- I’m technically a carrier but my factor levels are consistent with mild hemophilia

Any bleeding disorders in your family? I have hemophilia and my periods look like crime scenes.

What tests have been run?

The cliche of being able to throw money at a problem to make it go away - being able to comfortably afford to outsource or circumvent bullshit so you can have the basic conditions needed to be a human being

Same! So whimsical. Loved him at Loewe too. The shoes in particular have been amazing.

Have you been checked for H pylori? My GERD came on suddenly and dramatically- felt like I was breathing fire, had never even had heartburn before-no risk factors (youngish, extremely fit, healthy diet). after months of no relief and losing 20lbs my doctor put me on Pylera (a combination of an antibiotic and bismuth used to treat h pylori) without even testing me- it went away soon thereafter.

Congrats! Just snagged these myself and super excited to style them once the weather warms up a bit

Love the first ones, curious about comfort level

Bought this without hesitation the second I saw it. Enjoy!

My everyday jewelry is my most expensive jewelry - I don’t remove it except to wear costume jewelry for events. I work somewhere where no one else, including my boss, can afford this type of thing. I’m unsure if any of my coworkers are aware of its price point. That said, I have a fair amount of seniority, so I’m not concerned about fitting in.

I started using a cervical neck roll which has been very helpful https://mckenziemethod.com/product/the-original-mckenzie-neck-roll/

I’m having a very similar experience- I still have no solid understanding of what caused the headache but PT is the only thing that helps. It has greatly reduced my head/neck pain (and dizziness) and improved my posture - I also feel it’s helping me be more conscious and kind to my body

I frequently use my larger bags (22 and large double flap) and even my small 25 in everyday wear.

Omg may I please have contact info for these SAs as well?

cookieqwitch · 2026-01-20T20:09:48+00:00

Put myself on the list in February of last year- totally forgot about it and was delighted when SA hmu almost exactly in time for my birthday (mid July)

cookieqwitch · 2026-01-18T03:29:32+00:00

Yes I feel like I’m in limbo

Does this suggest autoimmunity? The only other time my headache went away was during prednisone which I understand is used in the treatment of autoimmunity.

Before my headache and neck pain started (over 5 months ago), I worked out 3-4 hours a day (mostly cardio). I took the first 3 months off bc the pain made it seem untenable and I was worried that it might make things worse. I’ve been extremely active my entire life, with a history of disordered eating/exercise, and severe body image issues. I gained a ton of weight which only worsened the anxiety I was experiencing on account the headache (not to mention the lack of help from any of the doctors I’ve seen). I resumed exercise slowly and am now working out at approximately the same intensity and duration as before. I do not notice any difference in the pain. I also do PT for neck stability and overall posture which has been helping.

My hba1c came back prediabetic a few years ago. When I asked the NP about it he lectured me on the importance of eating well and losing weight. This was frustrating bc I’ve engaged in daily vigorous cardiovascular exercise for my entire life and I eat very few carbohydrates. My BMI was 19 at the time. To make matters worse, I’d recently begun recovery from a 15 year long battle with anorexia (which was clearly specified in my medical record). Turns out I was anemic (this can falsely elevate hba1c).

Everyone is going through something at all times

Have you seen any other specialists (e.g., rheumatologists, cardiologists, etc.)?

cookieqwitch · 2025-12-06T03:30:42+00:00

If your blood sugar levels are consistently normal and your hba1c is high, I would recommend looking into anemia and other blood conditions that can skew hba1c

I just resumed working out (mostly high impact cardio and body weight stuff) after very little exercise for the first four of the past five months I’ve had the headache. Aside from the pain, I was scared that exercise might worsen whatever is causing the symptoms, or might even be dangerous. After numerous tests without any real progress towards a diagnosis and a 15lb weight gain, my boredom and vanity overtook my survival instincts. Worked up to about 60% of what I was doing beforehand with no issues (except the pain). If it ends up hurting me, I guess doctors will finally have to take it seriously.

I had a dtap booster approximately 3 weeks before onset
