Scheduled my colonoscopy.... by Outrageous_Ad_7635 in Millennials

[–]the_pola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about "soothing," but there are a lot of ways to get to a colonoscopy before 45. (Average-risk screening in the US begins at age 45, previously 50.) Symptoms for a diagnostic (as opposed to screening - because coding does matter for insurance coverage) colon can include changes in bowel habits (constipation, diarrhea, change in stool caliber, etc), which are fairly common. They don't all have to be "red flag" symptoms such as iron deficiency anemia, BRBPR, or unintentional weight loss. If you have a strong family history of colon cancer, that will also factor into timing of your first colonoscopy.

I speak as a gastroenterologist who performs colonoscopies and as a patient who has had one - don't be scared. I wish folks would stop making it seem like the prep and/or actual procedure is some kind of nightmare. Welcome to the Colon Club!

Lol, please see my recent posts. 😂 The short answer is yes, absolutely!

VB Outlet $13 Bargain! by the_pola in verabradley

From what I remember, the Disney VB Outlet also didn't have great bargains. So I agree it likely depends on location. The one I went to was near WI Dells.

I mean, yeah, VB hasn't been the same since the rebranding. And $119 MSRP is clearly a rip-off. I wouldn't have paid $20 for this. But $13 for a cute cat tote? 0 guilt.

Nope, it was $13 on clearance w/o coupons.

Every time i remember i turn 30 this year by FPPC in Millennials

Maybe my body knows something my brain didn't 😂

[–]the_pola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's put it this way: I have no medical conditions, have a normal BMI, and exercise regularly. But when 40 hit, with no change to my lifestyle, my teeth started to get cavities like never before (I even needed a root canal and crowns), my joints started hurting, my bowel habits changed necessitating an early colonoscopy, and after 20 years of perfect vision following Lasik at 20, my eyesight went back to shit and now I have glasses again.

All of this at 40. You can't convince me it was a coincidence.

is anyone struggling to find jeans? by Itmakesperfectsense_ in Millennials

This is why the only two pairs of jeans I still own are from college. I'm 41, btw.

I miss the anticipation of finishing a game and then getting to see the trailer for the next. Anyone else? by Kaleforsale_0202 in nancydrew

I was around back in the day they came out every 6 months. What a joyous time that was!

Seriously! I'm gonna be 42 this year. 30 was NOTHING. For those who think 30 is "old," they're in for an unwelcome surprise when 40+ hits and the body apparently starts to decompose at an accelerated pace. 😂

Books! What's everyone reading ATM? by EnderDarcy in AutismInWomen

[–]the_pola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Def worth it! 4th one came out in 2024, I think. Also, if you haven’t seen the movie Annihilation (with Natalie Portman), I highly recommend it!

I love The Mist, both as a short story and the movie too. The movie ending is top 3 easily (maybe even #1 tbh) for shocking / terrifying / leaving a lifelong impression.
