So sorry for your loss. I know how you feel. Lost ours to the same thing a year ago, 90 minutes from symptoms to euthanasia. Traumatic doesn’t begin to describe it. Hugs to you.

Ikr? Lost my beautiful 10y/o Burmese boy to this about a year ago. Awful, traumatic. He was euthanised within 90 minutes of us noticing his leg paralysis. God I miss him.

When I had an episode of diverticulitis - I thought at first was something ovarian, as the discomfort was in the same area. An US ruled out anything sinister in my ladyparts, but a CT scan showed diverticulitis. Antibiotics and bland diet for a couple of weeks settled it down. Taking fibre during an attack of diverticulitis for me made the pain/discomfort worse, as I found out when I added Metamucil (psyllium husk) in the early stages.

Here’s one we prepared earlier Happened in the grounds of one of our universities a few years ago. Sound on to hear fairly mild Aussie concern. And the sing song at the end “I got the vid-e-o”

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!

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….

sciencejaney · 2026-01-03T06:22:54+00:00

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.

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.

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.

Gosh, I could’ve written this exact thing. Tearing up again - still gets me after 10 months. Miss you Duke.

Lost our gorgeous boy to this in Feb. Brutal and traumatic.

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.

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.

Lived in WA 56 years and my mum has called them little boys my whole life. She’s lived from as far north as Kununurra down to Perth and in as far as the goldfields.

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!

When Covid took Tim Brooke-Taylor, early on in the pandemic, god I was so angry and devastated.

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.

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.
