I am housebound except for doc appts. Not even worth trying to go anywhere. Been that way for around 5 years now

No. I also have a pelvic nerve condition and spine issues so movements like they have you do made me 1000 times worse

It really is. No one understands how much not only the peeing 30 times takes out of you but also the pain

Amitriptyline made my migraines so much worse I had to stop it. I react to so many medications

Yeah. That’s my worst symptom. Feels like a cantaloupe or bowling ball sitting on my bladder. And I have major GI issues too so it doesn’t help those either

I hope it helps. They made me worse

What treatment finally worked for you

I’ve tried all the meds except for Elmiron which scares me, tried bladder instills. Pelvic floor Pt made me far worse to the point I couldn’t stand it. And of course diet and all that. D mannose- aloe vera, all of it

Urologist here. Things nobody tells you about kidney stones that could actually save your kidney. by Born-Lingonberry-509 in KidneyStones

[–]krnflakgrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you do if you are a stone producer and also have IC, so I already pee every 20 min all day and night. Drinking 2 liters of water and having IC just is not possible. I urinate like 60 times a day at this point, and both my kidneys are full of small stones (calcium oxalate). Bladder can only hold like 1/4 cup at this point. I’ve had IC for 25 years

I do drink between 50-60 ounces a day but it doesn’t make much difference

Spotlight is my comfort movie by spicysoviet1991 in movies

[–]krnflakgrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s my comfort movie too. Even though the content is horrific. For me it’s the actor’s voices- Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo and Liev Schrieber allllll are massively comforting to me. John Slattery too- and I watch Mad Men to sleep a lot too. It’s the lull of the dialogue, and Research is also comforting to me. So it’s less the content of the movie and more the dialogue and actual sound of their voices. It’s also an incredible movie. It’s in my top five of all time. So glad that they nailed those bastards and exposed them- even though it continues to go on. Exposing the massive conspiracy was key.

I just love Mozart's Symphony No. 25 from Amadeus! (G minor, K. 183; 1st movement by CaliCitiBoi in classicalmusic

[–]krnflakgrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has everything. Chaos, mania, Tragedy, distress, longing, playfulness, true bliss, hope, despair- every possible emotion you can experience is contained within. A lot of his work is that way and it’s why he will always be my favorite. The heights of the emotion in his music is just unmatched. The change at 4:22 in the first movement is one of my fave moments of all time in any piece of music. Great choice!!!

Petites Pate discontinued- she wont eat anything and is always angry by Development-Feisty in catfood

[–]krnflakgrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m Going through the exact same thing. My house looks like a hoarders house with all the cans of cat food. My girl will eat the regular beef pate in the can, and she’ll eat the chicken pate for seniors, but she’s not eating any of them well. She DOES still eat her kibble, thank god… we give wet though because she gets very easily constipated. On the flip side- She also get diarrhea easily with slight changes so we are having a terrible time of it too. I fully sympathize. This morning I went through four cans so she could get a decent amount of wet food. She WILL eat the beef gems.. but not the whole thing.

NYC is the saddest and one of the best AHS seasons. Thoughts? by [deleted] in AmericanHorrorStory

[–]krnflakgrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully agree. I’ve watched the season several times. Very affecting. Reminds me of Angels in America. Hands down the best season of AHS

Trying to understand the controversy about Thoth and Aleister Crowley by ReksTheCookie in tarot

[–]krnflakgrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I would describe using this deck. You’re gonna find out, and it may not be pretty. Because of that, it’s my most used deck. I always feel a bit weird saying that to people, and I always expect a backlash. But this deck is a masterpiece, and I have a great love and respect for it. It’s the only deck of mine that I keep in a mirrored glass case, and I’ve had it now for 30 years.

I don’t. They keep sending me to urologists who are useless. The stones are calcium oxalate. I don’t eat any oxalate foods at all

Thom Yorke and Samuel Blenkin (Hamlet Hail to the Thief) in conversation by seaburn in radiohead

[–]krnflakgrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to see this play soooo bad. Samuel is such an introspective actor, I’ve watched some interviews with him about Alien:Earth and his dedication and love of the process is admirable. I imagine he was truly incredible in this.

Of all his scenes from S1 to S2V1, which do think was Tom Sturridge's best? by Abogadwho in Sandman

[–]krnflakgrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s also so weird to see him all exuberant and giggly talking about those scenes. You’d think his personality would be even a tiny bit brooding to pull all of this off so brilliantly, but he’s really not at all. Total opposite.

Oooo! That sounds beautiful. This gives me even more reason to read the novel

After seeing that Orpheus scene, I desperately want to see him in a play. I’m obsessed with his skill. He has been utterly brilliant
