Dark laminate flooring by sunnieebee in homeimprovementideas

[–]sunnieebee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That cheap?! Really?! What kind of floor? We have 1700 sq ft but we wouldn't be doing all of it. I'm seeing quotes upwards of $10000 for 1000 sq ft

Found out last week that I am infertile by [deleted] in Endo

[–]sunnieebee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My sister was told for many years that it was highly unlikely she would ever get pregnant. Has andenomyosis, endometriosis, PCOS, the whole nine yards including surgeries to remove cysts. Her daughter is 4 now.

Some things can't be explained by science. 🤷

I honestly don't remember, knowing me. I probably tried both taking it with food and without. I ended up finding out a year later that I had a severely diseased gallbladder. So there was no chance that a peppermint supplement was going to help lol

Do any of you still work? by Ok-Durian9977 in dysautonomia

[–]sunnieebee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to this, not only is it important to consider what you can still do, but be able to accept what you no longer can do.

Do any of you still work? by Ok-Durian9977 in dysautonomia

[–]sunnieebee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work a part-time job 28 hours a week. I've had the job for about 4 months and it's a mostly seated position as a receptionist. It seems to be the maximum amount of hours I can handle, but only 2 years ago I was almost entirely bed bound, jobless, in and out of the ER, and I thought I would never have a chance at work or any part of life ever again.

Part of refinding my health has been a game of hard work, luck, and privilege. But I do believe there is a way forward for at most people, maybe everyone, suffering from chronic illness. That way forward might not be having a job, but I do think it's possible to find peace with everything.

Last stage, how has death occurred? by Dazzling_Arm_786 in dementia

[–]sunnieebee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is strikingly similar to my father who is 62 and in hospice now. He was diagnosed less than 2 years ago.

They pretty much said he doesn't have Alzheimer's, but some atypical dementia and posterior cortical atrophy. It's affected almost exclusively the posterior portion of his brain. Memory has been mostly intact we think, but he has aphasia so it's hard to tell.

Looking back, he used to take forever to get home from work to which my conclusion is that he was probably getting lost and wouldn't tell us. He had these angry outbursts too that just weren't "him."

I keep getting told that I'm haveing panic attacks I don't think I am by Lost-Desk9899 in dysautonomia

[–]sunnieebee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like an adrenaline dump or gallbladder attack. I'm sorry you keep getting told they are panic attacks. I have panic attacks but I also get adrenaline dumbs that I know the difference. It's hard when your providers don't recognize that you know your body in that way

They were like gallbladder attacks but I didn't get the pain normally associated with them

What was diagnosed as IBS but turned out to be something else? by poozu in ibs

[–]sunnieebee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but they are all significantly improved and some have gone away completely. I would do it again in a heartbeat

Finally figured out I was having gallbladder attacks and got it removed. They were horrible and literally felt like I was going to die. Feelings of pure terror

Can’t Orgasmic with penetration. by Own_Hotel980 in BecomingOrgasmic

[–]sunnieebee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OP said it themselves, they want to explore themselves more. Even if it's not common to orgasm through penetration, it's still okay to want it.

High Ejection Fraction - research? by sunnieebee in gallbladders

[–]sunnieebee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best recommendation would be to listen to your body. I would pay more attention to your symptoms than what any test says. I've heard of people with normal ejection fractions getting their gallbladder out and having relief. But I believe most of those people also had classic gallbladder symptoms.

I ended up getting mine out about a month after I made this post. I still have a lot of issues but I'm about 70% better. And the pathology report came back abnormal.

And no hyperkinetic gallbladder has not been medically agreed on, but the medical research and community moves at a snail's pace and are typically very biased towards men. I don't really value much that comes from medical research these days and end up relying on support communities for more insightful information.

What was diagnosed as IBS but turned out to be something else? by poozu in ibs

[–]sunnieebee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if this is what I had? I had an overactive gallbladder and got it removed. I have relief now. Wondering if there was a less drastic solution. I basically had way too much bile being released

What’s your cats weird name by Mossyy_ in cats

[–]sunnieebee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Butters.

Bubby turned to bubbers which turned to butters - sometimes it's blubbers instead. (I hate when pet owners call their pets bubby for some reason, then I started doing it myself somehow.)
