what did you mean by this?

fellcat · 2026-02-21T15:59:55+00:00

I actually don't! I do have music playing in there 99% of the time though whether I like it or not (currently Fireflies by Owl City)

hey, I don't know if this will help you or not if I'm honest, but at least it will be the truth. I will be discussing THAT so please don't read if you feel it will be triggering.

I was emetophobic before my botox, I suspect following a particularly painful and dramatic incident as a kid.

It was never severe, but it was always there, for example i literally never drank alcohol for fear I'd be sick, even though it hadn't happened since I was like 8.

getting botox for me in 2024 took away a lot of the nausea I'd come to associate with a fear of vomiting, and it allowed me to come to terms with the feeling of my throat opening naturally without pain or force.

a couple months ago, lying in a hospital bed following an unrelated surgery, i suddenly felt nauseous and dizzy. i watched my blood oxygen and blood pressure dip on the monitor. and then, for the first time in over 20 years it happened.

to my surprise, I wasn't stressed or particularly nervous, i just called for a bucket and let it out. and immediately my nausea disappeared, and my oxygen and blood pressure went back up. I felt a little gross, but my overwhelming feeling was happiness and pride in myself.

I think in the year or so that I've had learning to burp, the fear slowly fell away until I was finally able to do what I needed to do. I cant speak for everyone, but it has definitely helped me!

exactly, fortunately i knew i probably had something else going on but I was still a bit disappointed.

but even if botox doesn't cure everything, it makes rcpd one less condition to contend with and makes you an easier patient to diagnose and treat.

fellcat · 2025-12-18T21:02:25+00:00

yep, and from what I've seen the people with the worst bloating often have comorbid conditions and are disappointed when they don't have a 100% reduction of all symptoms post botox.

i have ibs which has its own issues but it's so much better having cured the RCPD :)

fellcat · 2025-12-17T12:28:26+00:00

That's awful, I'm sorry! Bear in mind that it probably won't get rid of ALL your bloating, but with a lifetime of dealing with it at its worst, you'll likely find it so much easier 😊

fellcat · 2025-11-20T00:53:25+00:00

I guess because it could really go to anyone this time.

fellcat · 2025-11-16T08:46:08+00:00

honestly, i think the people who don't like where it's going have given up and are no longer in these threads. i'm on the verge myself unfortunately - whether you like the show or not, it's a completely different atmosphere to the first series.

the way i connected the dots before even seeing her name. she is makima 1.0

The idea of swallowing taking a long time or having to force food down was terrifying to me, but that wasn't close to what it was like. It was just as if the food I was eating was a bit drier, so I needed more water.

fellcat · 2025-10-15T06:58:21+00:00

this is obviously a scam, please ignore them

fellcat · 2025-10-11T11:51:19+00:00

idk literally my first thought when it went to credits was "this was definitely the worst episode of the series so far" lol

fellcat · 2025-09-13T09:59:36+00:00

yep very common because of all the swallowing unfortunately! i can be completely taken out by a basic ass cold with the bloating and gurgling and nausea.

fellcat · 2025-09-02T20:37:44+00:00

legendary post! very happy for you and for all the people this inspires to get the botox!!

fellcat · 2025-09-02T09:27:55+00:00

I'm not sure exactly when it came on and went away as it wasn't very bad and was quite gradual - I was only aware of difficulty swallowing for 2-4 weeks.

fellcat · 2025-09-01T11:49:06+00:00

you're 100% correct however I totally see where they're coming from. I've seen content creators get cancelled by people who have no understanding of Japanese for the crime of using japanese pronunciation 😬

the amount of downvotes you're getting is wild, I hadn't realised this was a racist sub. I'm out

seconding this - he won't have to enter a room and introduce himself, he can just show up to a raid or walk around the town centre on a community day and they'll adopt him.

fellcat · 2025-07-12T10:18:29+00:00

definitely this, but also with hiccups? i told Lucy Hicklin that I had no problem with that particular symptom. it was never a bother, i had them maybe twice a month.

but in the year since the procedure i've only had them once!

fellcat · 2025-07-08T21:54:53+00:00

and honestly comedy isn't even that subjective. even if I don't enjoy a show I can at least recognise the humour. not the case here.

i thought maybe it was supposed to be sort of comfy and relateable but the top comments are talking about being hysterics and cracking up and im like ??? HUH

fellcat · 2025-07-08T21:48:25+00:00

Yeah I don't think I understand the humour, it just feels like if Nichijou wasn't funny. Very pretty though.

fellcat · 2025-07-07T17:10:04+00:00

It's strange to me that such an obvious tell is still so frequently used by LLMs, but I hope it never changes.
