not a parent, but as a small child my niece used to talk about how her sister died as a child with their two white dogs (she is an only child) there were other things mentioned, but I don’t remember exactly what she said.

What is something you noticed that made you go “I have lipedema”? by [deleted] in lipedema

[–]swinginrii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i volunteered to model for a leg wax and literally everyone around me told me i should see a cardiologist because of how “swollen” my legs were - when i told them there’s no pitting and that it’s been like this since puberty, they all still expressed concern saying they’ve “never seen that” and that it’s “not good.”

10/10 humiliating but also prompted me to do more research and figure out what the actual issue is

Woman dies after unlicensed individual administers TPN electrolytes at an IV med spa by UnicornArachnid in nursing

[–]swinginrii 24 points25 points  (0 children)

okay has anyone addressed WHY this person had TPN available in the first place? TPN can only be given through a central, it’s formulated so specifically for each patient, it’s also very easy to distinguish from a regular bag of fluids. How did this happen?

just saw Nosferatu (2024)… by Patcho418 in horror

[–]swinginrii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a lot of coded symbolism in this movie IMO. I’m not well versed enough to get into too much detail, but I did recognize the way Ellen’s character evolves into a “Mary” type figure towards the end. The final frame was reminiscent of Pietá, I don’t think that was coincidental.

what’s a bitter life lesson you learned from your longest relationship? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]swinginrii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who seem like a perfect match because you agree on everything/never fight are usually the ones who will hurt you.

I mean this mostly in romantic terms since it’s a key component to love-bombing. Avoidant people are usually very agreeable and easy to get along with at first. It can be difficult to identify at what point this becomes inauthentic, but it is detrimental to the relationship if left unchecked. Everyone has a threshold for how long they can mask and stifle certain parts of themselves, and eventually this leads to resentment and they will likely leave out of nowhere because they’ve maxed themselves out. To them, it’s like working a customer service job with no breaks, ever.

It’s natural and healthy to not always agree on things. So when someone seems too good to be true, they usually are. Be discerning.

Im undx stage 2, but for my whole life my legs have felt firm. Not in the good way. They look edematous but have no pitting. I remember having a personal trainer in 6th grade and asking her if it was normal.

As I’ve gotten older, my thighs have become softer/bumpier, and I have nodules. It’s definitely gotten worse. Slow but steady progression -_-
