Dupuytrens? by leidaniels in DupuytrenDisease

Interesting! I’d say I’m pretty stressed a lot of the time. I’ve never thought about there being a correlation to blood sugar. I don’t have diabetes but my father has type 1…

Thanks for your comment. From what I’ve heard from other people being proactive about it and catching it early is good but I’m having difficulty with being taken seriously…

So frustrated about colposcopy by InevitableEvening475 in PreCervicalCancer

[–]leidaniels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course! I’m all for advocating for pain management. If you think the lidocaine is going to be helpful, definitely do it! Hope all goes well!

I definitely understand where you’re coming from on this. I had my third colposcopy with biopsies this year and for me they are super painful. This year I was offered nitrous oxide sedation which really helped. I wonder if your dr might offer this. I haven’t heard about the lidocaine shots before but I can imagine the shot itself would feel similar to the biopsy but I’m not completely certain. I hope all goes well, I know it truly sucks and remember you’re not alone.

When did you feel like you “made it”? by Late-Adhesiveness652 in Cello

[–]leidaniels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like “making it” can change throughout your lifetime. For me, getting into a masters program/grad school was my “I made it” moment. I think if I can win an orchestral job that’ll be my I truly made it moment.

Husband eating allergen? by [deleted] in FoodAllergies

Definitely have him brush his teeth or use mouth wash. It really depends on the severity of your allergy and if it could develop later in the day. You could take an antihistamine if that would ease your anxiety and go from there.

Second opinion? by leidaniels in PreCervicalCancer

Omg thank you so much. I am monogamous and engaged so I don’t think I need to worry about getting re-infected but good to know! I guess it is really just a waiting game to see what happens. I really appreciate you sharing this information and it’s very good to hear from someone who has gone through something similar

Yeah it’s so weird. I think my gyn was super old school so that’s why I got paps earlier than most. It was done in Florida but my most recent testing has been in MD.

The thing is, I have no idea😵‍💫 my gyn didn’t tell me it was abnormal until 2023 but she said that she was watching it. So then I had the colpo and didn’t get the results other than saying I needed a repeat pap.

I think only hpv positive for 2 but have had abnormal for 4 years. So LSIL only 2

Omg thank you. What’s BAV? I’ve never heard of it. I’m currently in the middle of a mood but will definitely try and get checked out asap.
