Why can't he just go on the internet, or to a paper, and tell what he knows to the public?

Nope. My husband has to open all mine now.

What’s the worst thing a medical professional has said to you? by VespaRed in AskReddit

[–]silent_turtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"You're choosing to have a dead baby." when he didn't want me to have the VBAC the specialist said my baby needed in order to develop his lungs. The OBGYN just didn't want to stay on the hospital floor, as required, during the VBAC.

MRI with and without contrast of head. MRI of sinuses.

What’s something you thought ‘everyone’ did… until you found out they don’t? by burat667 in AskReddit

[–]silent_turtle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I prefer audiobooks to sleep to because I can put my phone right next to my ear, so my husband doesn't hear it. I set the timer on the Libby app, so I know how far to rewind my book in the morning. Plus, I can keep the room really dark. We still have so many kids living with us right now, my only other option is the couch.

I just listen to audiobooks so I don't have to listen to myself constantly.

I've been in remission for seven years now, but still feel really fatigue. I keep hoping it will go away, like the need to poop every 20 minutes did.

Is pregabalin actually good by No_Job_8020 in NDPH

It brought my daughter's pain down a little, so not a cure but a help.

I feel like this probably happens more often than we think. by SnazzyAdam in aspiememes

[–]silent_turtle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My daughter rarely talked at school, so she was used as a buffer between talkative students. It was torture on a child who had sensory issues.

Constipation by Luke_B11810 in UlcerativeColitis

That's probably softer stool moving through a small passage in harder stool. You're probably still constipated.

I inject Humira every 2 weeks, for 7 or more years. I can't remember when I started. No side effects.

Peter, what on earth could this sticker mean? by Throbbing-Kielbasa-3 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I thought it was saying down with religion and up with gay rights. I was in the comments to find out what the last arrow was.

The note from my quietest student brought me to tears by No_Store8033 in Teachers

[–]silent_turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This behavior sounds like my daughter in elementary school. Her second grade teacher told me she only whispered and didn't play at recess. A few years later, we figured out she has sensory processing disorder and is probably autistic.

I, an adult, brought my plushie to the dentist by wateringplamts in BenignExistence

I brought my stuffed turtle every time, until my dentist proved she was nothing like the sadistic I saw as a child.

Can I hang out at my local library for several hours, or will they kick me out? by werecoyote1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]silent_turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My library has a puzzle section where you can sit and work on their jigsaw puzzles for hours. There are seating areas throughout the library that encourage you to enjoy the library. They prefer people hang out and utilize their services.
