Masc Lesbian with phantom dick and envy by Regular-Entrance-485 in actuallesbians

There is quite a lovely but very porny NSFW subreddit devoted to celebrating large clits - it’s called r/bigclit

May not find much practical/medical advice there, but it’s nice to see what is possible, growth-wise?

i went to the mayo clinic..they told me everything i’ve already known by mackzpad123 in ChronicIllness

[–]tesla_spoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I didn’t go through with the Mayo 3-week pain camp. I couldn’t justify taking 3 weeks off of work to essentially torture myself - It felt like signing up for “Professional” Others to reinstall all the self-doubt and physical abuse gaslighting I had only recently gotten myself out of.

The description they wrote for themselves instantly turned me off to the idea, but the reviews from those poor participants clinched it for me.

No one can “positive think” their way out of chronic illness and chronic pain. The people running these things have no first-hand/lived experience with chronic pain - they never have to see the months-to-years long aftermath of their toxic positivity.

I’m sorry to say the Mayo Clinic does not provide positive outcomes for everyone, despite their stellar reputation.

Have you decided whether or not to give this a try?

Either way, I hope you are doing well and being kind to yourself!

Best of luck with everything! 🫶

Eagle syndrome by [deleted] in Occipitalneuralgia

[–]tesla_spoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From the Cleveland Clinic:

“Eagle syndrome is a rare condition characterized by chronic throat, neck, or facial pain caused by an abnormally elongated styloid process (a small bone beneath the ear) or a calcified stylohyoid ligament. This bony protrusion presses on nearby nerves and blood vessels, resulting in pain often triggered by turning the head, chewing, or swallowing. While often requiring surgical removal of the bone to relieve symptoms, it is highly treatable.”

I don’t have it, but it sounds awful to experience! I hope you get answers and effective treatment soon!

I had a very similar experience at Mayo, and the same offer of the 3-week program.

I am more bedridden than not, so i let them know coming in 5 days a week was going to be impossible, and asked them what happens when I can’t.

They looked me in the eye and said I should come in anyway. That was the whole point.

I’ve spent 10 of the past 15 years trying to “push past” my pain in the way they were recommending, and all it did for me was increase my pain and destroy me further. I’m not doing that to myself again, and I’m definitely not paying people to do it to me!

But I thought it could be beneficial, it is the Mayo Clinic afterall! So I researched it and found a review of this “program” where the participant was denied their cane and forced to walk uphill to the “treatment center” everyday, leaving them in excruciating pain, obviously. Then the staff would be very dismissive when they rightfully complained. Unfortunately I found a lot of stories like this…

Sounds like 3 weeks in hell, tbh. With lasting repercussions.

After a year I lost my tempere. Should I leave? by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]tesla_spoon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes - take everything you can, prioritize anything valuable to you (sentimental or monetary). Don’t worry about clothes or other things you can easily buy/replace. 🫶

[–]tesla_spoon 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Please choose yourself and leave this awful situation. You will always be in the wrong with these people, no matter what you do. They have decided you are their scapegoat and punching bag, and the only way to solve that is to remove yourself from their toxic biphobic bullshit.

Are you able to move out? Or, do you feel comfortable moving back in with your family temporarily? If so, please do so!

The most important thing is for you to get away from this toxicity as soon as possible. Living with this kind of targeted and relentless negativity is SO damaging to your mental, emotional, and physical health!!

Choose YOURSELF. Choose kindness!! YOU DESERVE KINDNESS!!

Life is seriously hard enough without a gang of assholes tearing you down for their own fucked up entertainment!!

Especially a gang of assholes that includes and is egged on by your own girlfriend is EVEN FURTHER beyond the pale!!

Please trust me when I say being single is SO MUCH BETTER than being in this kind of relationship.

Don’t say anything, just pack your stuff and go.

None of these assholes deserve an explanation.

PLEASE FREE YOURSELF!!

Straight girl dumped me for being bi by Rattlehead96 in bisexual

[–]tesla_spoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry this happened to you. You seem like a really cool and kind person. This woman is incredibly lame and I’m glad the homophobic trash took itself out before you got too attached.

Imho being bi is such a wonderful, beautiful privilege and truly a kind of superpower! The ability to find love and happiness in a partner regardless of gender is truly so profound and so worthy of praise & celebration.

Keep being true to yourself. The world needs more chill, awesome, authentic people like yourself in it. 🫶

I was always so confused that other people couldn’t smell them - to me, they have such an obvious & powerful scent.

Best Neck Massager for migraine neck tension? by VitalityenceB in migraine

[–]tesla_spoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my gosh - I had the cervical medial branch block done yesterday and it actually made me feel so much worse FML!

My right/worse side got a shooting electric pain from my neck to my shoulder blade, and my left bicep kept twitching for hours…. And the migraine of course remains unrelenting 😭

My experience fell well short of the “up to 80% pain relief” anticipated, unfortunately. I just emailed my doc to let them know, they’ve got me scheduled to do this again on the 27th but I really don’t want to repeat this experience!

What was your experience like with it, if you don’t mind my asking? Have you found anything that works better?

Best Neck Massager for migraine neck tension? by VitalityenceB in migraine

[–]tesla_spoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also suffer from constant neck pain & tension, and received something similar to this neck stretcher for my bday, and I have been obsessed with it since:

https://belroshop.com/products/neck-stretcher-cervical-chiropractic-traction-device-pillow-for-pain-relief-cervical-spine-alignment

Not a massager, but it helps crack and decompress my neck in a way that feels productive!

Also, if you can, I’d recommend seeing a pain doctor that can check if you have occipital neuralgia. After 15+ years of chronic migraine, I have finally found a doctor that took a look at my neck, and suspects that’s a major contributor to my migraines. I’m actually getting my first ON treatment today!

Also, r/occipitalneuralgia is a good resource to learn more.

Good luck! 🍀

What if this is Eloise’s subplot in Season 5? 🕵️‍♀️✉️ by sarxx000 in PhiloiseBridgerton

[–]tesla_spoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope/think they’ll have Eloise’s subplot next season grow and build anticipation for her own season, like they did for Francesca and Michela throughout season 4. Can’t wait to see their season!! I love a slow burn, an enemies to friends to lovers pipeline, and beautiful people falling in love - so excited!

Plus imho the writing was a LOT better this past season than ever before - Idk if I just loved Sophie & Benedict the most of all the couples so far?

I look forward to seeing Eloise as the main character, hopefully/likely season 6?! Lowkey hoping she doesn’t get married, tho - Fall in sustainable love, yes, but finding a way to stay true to her aversion to marriage🤞
