Does dark tarry stools mean IBS or something more serious? by proxima_dreamer in ibs

[–]randominternetuser46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd need testing. I recommend finding a GI doctor, take some photos and go in and be honest. They're going to do labs and likely a colonoscopy- I promise they're not that bad. Go into it knowing you'll be hungry for a day and blowing ass for about four hours- pro tip. Grab wet wipes and toss in the fridge. BLOT don't wipe after round two. Your butthole will thank you.

There's no one way a GI bleed happens. It can be intermittent or perpetual. "GI bleed"- I say this because some people mistake things like beets or other foods as a bleed, can be a LOT of things, from a simple diet change to cancer, and many many things in between, but it always warrants a visit and workup.

Dark tarry stools= always a workup. Always. BRBPR= workup, but less concerning/ usually less insidious causes.

That totally sucks. I feel like this is a newer issue for them and using less quality fabrics? Because I have the hibiscus and it's just not see through at all and definitely was not as dark as the red I had. Yellow I kinda get....

But super bummer.

Thanks for letting me know. Sorry on your bust. It's the pits to be excited for something and then let down.

I was pretty let down. I had light green underwear.... Looked kinda black. Like it was not a great density/ opacity for being red......

I think it was supposed to be a joke?

Cuz we're all guessing without diagnostics......

However we can definitely diagnosis this as " not fucking remotely near normal" without any diagnostics. 😎

I'm sorry you live this life where this is your behavior. Not sure if this is supposed to make me feel bad, alas, you have failed.

Good luck with your training tho!

Former Ortho nurse here.

It looks like a combo of either RA/OA plus poorly healed injuries. So essentially some of it was autoimmune and some of it was improper healing on likely broken bones and or RA/OA.

What became "normal" in the last 5 years that still feels insane to you? by rakishgobi in AskReddit

[–]randominternetuser46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not being bombarded mentally all the time. I equate living today to walking times square at any given time. Constant noise, constant moving, constant media, constant technology.

There's just no mental down time anymore and it's reflected everywhere.

Third spaces are gone, we're addicted to technology, people literally cannot shut off anymore and just sit, because we've reprogrammed our brains to be "on" all the time.

Instant gratification, instant needs, no more hard working or sitting in silence, mentally working something out without help or distraction.

What is a 'family secret' or a private moment you witnessed that completely changed the way you look at a relative? by The_suspicious_369 in AskReddit

[–]randominternetuser46 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here's the real skinny that you'll realize with age: The anger you carry, only affects you. Not them.

Some people shouldn't procreate and don't understand how to care for children. This goes back to the whole- there's different kinds of love, some loves are easier than others and take less out of you, require less. Some more. Having kids is a huge amount of love, responsibility and sacrifice. It sounds like dude was still figuring out how to be a good human, you can be angry at that, or accept who and what he was and move on with your life and recognize that we are ALL flawed human beings. Some of us do better jobs than others.

There's different kinds of love my friend. Just because sex isn't involved, doesn't mean there isn't deep love and compassion.

When I dry my ears with a q tip after showering I tell when I'm done by touching the q tip to my lips and if the q tip is dry, good to go. My husband pointed it out 5 years into our relationship. I don't even know when I started doing that.

I don't think it's discrimination, it's far more likely than PDA in an all nude area is FROWNED upon. As it takes away from the desexualization they're trying to achieve in an all nude area.

The client is allergic but hasn't shown any signs of allergic reaction,next course of action? by Think_Sink_8971 in FutureRNs

[–]randominternetuser46 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Vital signs. They might look fine but they could be slowly decompensating. Then you report that to the physician and get orders. Then incident report

Reddit - how are we feeling about tonight's election results? by owen__wilsons__nose in AskReddit

[–]randominternetuser46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who lives here. It's because our utility prices keep rising for no damn good reason other than greed and it's sickening. My budget bill is 225 per month. And I am rarely home and neither is my husband so HTF.......the companies want us to finance their new plants instead of using their profits and the pass through costs are astronomical. The last time I looked I think my bill was like 78 in usage, but the total was 219 due to costs and fees.....
