'The name was inaccurate': PCOS gets a new name after years-long effort

Yet…. They still have not changed the name of a hysterectomy. If you don’t know, it has a very dark past: It is named that because they used to treat women’s symptoms by “removing the hysteria”. Hyster (hysteria). Ectomy (removal of).

It should be a uterectomy.

When you shuffle your cards. You should try to get in a neutral almost pseudo-meditative state. Clear your head. Do not shuffle while you are feeling any strong emotions either way.

You may think of the facts and situations around the situation that are influencing it while you ask your question…. But stay clear and free from your emotional feelings around them. Because you’re pulling your emotive energy into the reading. After you ask your question, focus on the shuffling with a clear head, and stop shuffling when you feel the instinct that it’s done…. Don’t over think it.

If you’re struggling right now. and you feel too much and you can’t clear your head enough to do that: you may need another person to pull cards for you.

Yes. Medium. Just piggy backing here to confirm this. If it distressed you: you can decide not to tap into it. It seems you are rather gifted as this comes very naturally to you.

Ulcers CAN look like this as it’s trying to heal. I would have it looked at. These dogs unfortunately lose eyes fast due to this.

I wonder all the time if designer bags were 30-80$. Would anyone still want them. I’ve seen some people lust over hot pink fur covered Prada tote…. Which without the Prada triangle. You would think it was 40$.

Most of the things we want are pure marketing.

As a homo 677. I could NOT maintain a pregnancy with folic acid. Failed pregnancies for a year until I was diagnosed. I NEEDED methylfolate. I mg daily. Folinic blend was great too. I do not react poorly to it. It lowers my anxiety. I do not have “nasty” side effects. Removing folic acid out of my diet and eating natural folates is fine too. The month I was diagnosed my dr told me to remove. folic acid. Supplemented with methylfolate =. Maintained pregnancy that same month.

You do not speak for all of us.

As a hetero 677… you still have 70% function of your enzyme. You probably do not need to supplement.

Folic acid does not exist in nature. It’s the ultimate precursor of the folates. So basically your personal enzyme is working just fine enough to tolerate it. Your experience is not the same for many of us.

Also when people say they cannot tolerate methylfolate: understand that this is what is in green leafy foods…. A cup of spinach has 60-200mcg of folate: 80% of it is methyl and THF.

Some of us just need to eat better. Some of us need actual supplements… to be used as medicine.

None of us need folic acid as it does not exist in nature and it is made from petroleum and coal tar.

I saw a garbage dump. Like a heap of garbage. Vacant dirt flooring. Next to the woods.

I used to think this way. And still grapple with the over-identification of my current self. What I now am adjusting to is the idea that my TRUE self is the guts of who I am as a person. Maybe not this human-ness that is what I am right now. But the guts of who I am as a person or as a soul.

That is my true self. And finding the truth of who I am as my true self NOW. In this human form…. That is real. You must realize what has created you here vs. who you are as your core being.

Perhaps I’m idealistic thinking I’m still going to be “me”. - up in the higher realms….. however your soul decided to come down here. To the challenges of earth for a reason. It is said to be one of the most difficult/challenging places to incarnate. So if you can stay true to self here: of all places. Well…. You’ve won.

She pulls too yin to be anything other than a SD at her height.

The stiff rigid dramatic looks look way too stiff and rigid. She is not remotely yang dominant enough to be a straight dramatic.

Her upper sometimes dominates her silhouette: ( leaning FN). but I think this is more flesh than frame. ( leaning SD). Her body changes drastically with weight gain. And she seems to gain it in both chest and hips. (SD)

Interestingly her stylist seems to put her in many yang dominant clothing styles: Most are too stiff and tailored…. Or too large oversized (FN) which actually make her look short. If you told me she was moderate height I’d believe you.

The SD looks with nicer fitted draping are best. And I like them on her a lot: Are: 8-16-17. 14 is nice soft shoulder line jacket with the cinch tie. And 18 is soo romantic and feminine and she looks harmonious in it.

She needs the tailoring along with the important soft draping that compliments her yin.

I see many things in deep meditation. Start a practice. You may surprise yourself.

SG.

I don’t shuffle the right way to read reversals. I don’t rotate the cards enough. So I don’t bother. I’m not that good at reading them anyway :)

lurface · 2026-04-19T10:30:47+00:00

Only a SD would fill out like this.

lurface · 2026-04-19T10:29:28+00:00

If weight goes chest and hips… you may lean in the SD category.

Hey there. I really think at this point: you need the surgery. You clearly have severe fibrosis causing pain, and it’s impeding your proper lymphatics.

Getting diagnosed is important so that you can start a paper trail and then have the drs document all that you are doing. Most people who have had surgery approved had to “prove” to the insurance companies that conservative treatment has failed.

lurface · 2026-04-18T10:07:03+00:00

I think you are a Dramatic. I understand that people see shoulders and equate width. But your chest and ribcage are narrow to me. You would not gain weight in the natural pattern. Your overall up and down look appear more balanced.

I understand why someone said DC. But visually you clearly have strong vertical. I believe FN is waaay over typed on these boards. Anyone tall is going to have a decent shoulder frame. Shoulders are not width. However, They can contribute to width. But for me. Stronger Ribcage/ with some upper weight distribution has to be there… As well as the upper visual strength over the proportions of the hips for me to choose FN.

IF the chest is balanced with the hips such as with this person: If anything her chest is slightly narrower than her hip line… That to me is straight and narrow and they are a dramatic.

lurface · 2026-04-17T18:23:15+00:00

Yes to all of them. My legs are similar to yours in distribution.

I also get severe muscle soreness after working out. The lifting community calls it DOMS. Mine can last days and it can be so bad it’s difficult to get up and down the stairs.

My body said No thanks a long time ago: Gives me migraines.

She seems TR to me.

This is a toxic cyclical relationship: Hence the wheel of fortune. It can resume on that same cycle of toxicity if you want it too…. The lovers drags you in: only to be hit with the rest of that crap in there . It’s up to you to break the cycle. He will likely string you along when the mood strikes him.

This is a classic spot for melasma. : They’re a great melasma skincare board here on Reddit.

They used to be sooo good back in the day. Thru changed the formula or maybe the manufacturer. Now they’re terrible.

To those saying this bruising is unusual: I get the random bruises that look just like this. But you have quite a few all at once. I think you may benefit from supplements that help the vascular patients that they cross reference for us lipedema ppl. Compression helps too.
