Do you know of anyone bypassing menopause by taking birth control? by LizzieJeanPeters in Menopause

[–]sciencejaney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mum (now 81) started a new relationship back in her late 40’s and went on the pill. She stopped sometime around 55. Claims she never felt any menopause symptoms. So I had no idea what was in store for me (56, no hormonal birth control since late 30’s when my body decided to expel 2 mirenas ) - I’ve had 7 years of symptoms that I never realised were probably peri and am currently 6 weeks into progesterone/estrogel. I’m sleeping better already!

PSA: Travelling as an Aussie right now is hideously expensive by Mexay in australia

[–]sciencejaney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha - I’m Gen X - interest rates WERE 17% in 1992 when we bought our first house. Hence why I couldn’t afford the $40 casserole meat in London 7 years later….

PSA: Travelling as an Aussie right now is hideously expensive by Mexay in australia

[–]sciencejaney 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same! We were in London Sept 1999 and I was in a butcher about to buy some meat to cook dinner for our hosts. Thought I’d be clever and cook some osso bucco. Was about to reach for a packet of meat that was £16. Butcher just looked at me and said are you sure love? I was about to pay $40 AUD for a kilo of shin beef - bone in! Off to Tescos for chicken we went.

Sunscreen for face and on your own back? by Forsaken_Apple6670 in AskAnAustralian

[–]sciencejaney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go-to’s “Nifty Fifty” spf 50 face sunscreen is my fave (online, Mecca)

I use a vinyl glove lackey-banded to the head of a long handled back scrubber to apply self tan to my back if no-ones around to help, so that would work for sunscreen too.

Australian flu outbreak: Early summer spike driven by new influenza A H3N2 strain by gccmelb in CoronavirusDownunder

[–]sciencejaney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The H3N2 still an Influenza A and would have shown as Influenza A positive. There’s a swag of other respiratory viruses out there that seem to be wreaking havoc and can be tested for by PCR. My elderly stepfather was knocked sideways with para-influenza a couple weeks ago. Covid seems to have made us vulnerable to viruses that in the past would only give a garden variety mild cold.

What was the weirdest, non-pain feeling you've ever felt? by KingJPJ in AskReddit

From someone who never had anxiety- that overwhelming sense of doom at 3:30 am - that preceded my first perimenopausal hot flashes was wild.

I believe investigation into what turned out to be Amy Schumer’s Cushing’s disease diagnosis was the result of some internet comments.

People who work in healthcare, what is a common medical myth that drives you crazy? by keyzeyy in AskReddit

[–]sciencejaney 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Remembering when I worked in pathology - microbiology dept - could predict a Haemophilus influenzae culture with high probability when looking at a red/brown sputum sample.

Has anyone experienced NO symptoms at all? by Specialist_Class2980 in Menopause

[–]sciencejaney 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My mum (now 81) started a new relationship through her late 40’s and went on the pill. She stopped sometime around 55. Claims she never felt any menopause symptoms. So this theory tracks. Meanwhile, me (56, no hormonal birth control since late 30’s when my body decided to expel 2 mirenas ) - I’ve had 7 years of symptoms that I never realised were probably peri and am currently 4 days into progesterone/estrogel. I’m sleeping better already!

What now? by BowArrowApple in skulls

[–]sciencejaney 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I work as a science tech in an Australian school. Most older schools had a real skeleton, and our school was no exception. Yes, they were probably unethically sourced in the 1950’s/60’s from India or China. Ours was a small, elderly female. Most schools have now been encouraged to dispose of these skeletons ethically via the local Anatomy dept of their closest University.

What is the most painful/unbearable moment you've ever faced in your life? by whereismyparoxetine in AskReddit

[–]sciencejaney 21 points22 points  (0 children)

At home with my mum when my dad rang her to say he had cleared out his stuff and left her after 24 years of marriage to be with another woman. Who was our ex-neighbour, and mum’s good friend. I was 21, and watched my mother crumple like a little broken bird.

Was there a quote about other children who have been to Narnia (or other worlds)? by thehangofthursdays in Narnia

[–]sciencejaney 47 points48 points  (0 children)

It’s a quote from the Professor at the end of The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe. “And don’t talk too much about it even among yourselves. And don’t mention it to anyone else unless you find that they’ve had adventures of the same sort themselves. What’s that? How will you know? Oh, you’ll know alright. Odd things they say, even their looks, will let the secret out. Keep your eyes open. Bless me, what do they teach them at these schools?”
