I honestly don't know 🙂

What am I supposed to do?

Hmm. This feels a lot like that old fable about the boy who cried wolf.
Fine. If you say so.
😬

Good grief. We're joking around while you might actually be in mortal danger. 😲 😲 ...the net is closing in on you...run, Christian Sanchez44, run...
🙄

I fail to see how that could possibly land. 😕

via a train called "wild imagination and a warped sense of humor."😁

Christian Sanchez44 said:Hey.
Like I mentioned... I've currently got a splinter lodged right by my ear near my neck.

I was at the ER and they gave me some antibiotics to bring the inflammation down before they surgically remove it.

If anyone here has dealt with something similar, please reach out... I'm heading in for the procedure this Wednesday.
Just trying to get a sense of what I'm walking into.
Thanks.

🙂

ahahahahahahahahahahahaha

🤣 🤣 🤣

Well, isn't that just lovely. My congratulations—stay strong out there.

Offtopic: Jeffrey Hayes6, Gazda says check your DMs. The boss wants you to clear out those private messages.

Jeffrey Hayes6 said:Look, rowdylynx38, if you think I’m some kind of cartoon villain, 😁 fine. You’re clearly stuck in a different century. Honestly, I’d hand the Pope his own cell phone if it meant proving I’m perfectly sane. 😁 😁

Can I do that via email?

Megan Wright9 said:It happened during sex. My OBGYN is on Medicaid, and I have zero interest in waiting a hundred years in some public clinic line just to get a basic exam.
It was painful, and I wanted a solution that worked fast. Okay? 😕

Look, I’m not the type. 😁

Listen, saying your doctor is on Medicaid and you won't touch public healthcare doesn't hold water. There are plenty of private OBGYNs in a major metro area. If they exist in mid-sized cities, they definitely exist in NYC.

That’s point one. Point two: when it comes to health, I would never look for a medical solution on a forum; I'd look for advice. You already got advice yesterday, if I recall. Today required action, but NOT via a phone screen.

Megan Wright9 said:Don't sweat it. Regarding the hemorrhoids, I was just saying I needed to download some stuff from [redacted].

I’m done. I’m walking away from this entire mess of a thread...

Look, Megan Wright9, nobody is posting these comments out of spite. It’s just baffling that you’re being so reckless as to skip your gynecologist appointments entirely. Period.

But hey, it’s your body, so it’s your problem.
However, the moment you decide to come here looking for a virtual exam or medical advice, you should be prepared for the fact that the seasoned women on this forum—and I don't even count myself in that group—might be genuinely appalled by your nonchalance.

Sometimes I get frustrated with myself. Panicking over every little thing, running to the doctor for what amounts to nothing...

But honestly? I’d rather be a neurotic mess than deal with something actually catastrophic, like skin splitting or medical issues that feel like a total breakdown😲 😲, all while I'm sitting at home on my phone, typing away on this forum...

We aren't all built the same way. ☕

Megan Wright9 said:So, I just got off the phone with my gynecologist, and she basically told me to just go buy some basic Vaseline and call it a day.
Just wing it then, 🙂

Fantastic.

Then again, who even needs to leave the house anymore? Everything is handled via smartphone now.
You can order perfume, velvet fabrics, lilies, jewelry, furniture, a washing machine, find yourself a husband... heck, you can apparently fix medical issues too.

Make sure you add that Vaseline to your online cart while you're at it...

By the way, are you seriously typing all this while standing up?

Brian Mitchell44 said:Ketonal?! Absolutely not!!!!!

It’s more than just bad. My grandfather uses it for the heavy-duty stuff. 😢

It wrecks your liver. It’s bad across the board.

Taking one or two a month isn't going to kill you. At least, that's what my doctor told me. Now, if he's lying, then I guess I am too.

Sure, there are other pills out there... but for some people (myself included), those alternatives didn't do a damn thing.

Got my first period at twelve. I’m twenty-five now. Not a single month has passed where I haven't spent day one sidelined. Since I started taking Triquilar, the pain is gone. If anything shows up, it's manageable—I can actually show up to work. Before? Leaving the house was out of the question.
Back before I saw my own doctor, he told my mom—who was asking on my behalf—that this is common, likely just genetic. He also suggested things would probably settle down after pregnancy.

Anyway, I started the Triquilar in the meantime, and things are better.
As for painkillers, I’ve tried everything from local brands to imports. I leaned heavily on Ketoral because I knew, especially during the winter, I’d get that nasty combination of abdominal cramps and lower back pain that nothing else seemed to touch.

Oh, and another thing... sometimes applying something warm—like a cloth heated on a radiator or just a warm compress—low on my abdomen helped take the edge off.

Oh, 🙄

Maybe check with a pharmacist. I’ve heard there’s actually something out there that works.

Why should I have to breathe in your car's exhaust fumes? 🙄

Didn't you quit smoking, though? 🤔

Jose Miller3 said:Ever occur to you that you might actually lose weight without relying on Metabolism or apple cider vinegar?

Look, tičica, go back and actually read my post again. Pay some attention to that part where I said "judge for yourselves." 😉

If you didn't catch my drift the first time, let me lay it out plainly: of course it crossed my mind, and of course I don't believe those pills are the reason I'm losing weight. 👋

I've been glancing at this thread periodically, and since I have some experience with Metabolism, I figured I’d weigh in:

I took Dietpharm's Metabolism for a few months, but I didn't see any definitive, game-changing results. Honestly, I'm still undecided on what to make of it. 😁

About a year and a few months ago, I switched things up and started taking Metabolic active from Natural wealth along with their apple cider vinegar. My routine is one Metabolism tablet and two doses of the vinegar daily, right after lunch. No side effects so far—it hasn't turned me into a twig—but ever since I started using celery seed, my appetite has dropped. Between that and hitting the stationary bike three times a week (about 16 miles per session), I've been losing weight. 😁

Draw your own conclusions. 😁
Regardless, I'm sticking with Metabolic active. 🙂

Someone mentioned the papaya enzymes from Natural wealth. I've heard good things about those, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Yesterday, the pharmacist at the CVS suggested I try Advil rapid for coming down from such a high fever.
