Kimberly Davis52 said:For almost a year now, my resting heart rate has been sitting at 84. I mean, it’s not technically tachycardia, but it used to be down around 64. On top of that, I just get tired really easily. Lately, I've been feeling pretty weak. I end up sleeping through a huge chunk of the day—and honestly, it's not even depression or anything like that—but I find myself needing afternoon naps constantly. My resting pulse even spikes up to 110 sometimes. It was acting pretty arrhythmic for a while too... kind of looks like this on a monitor 😁 But thankfully, things have settled down a bit.
My mom had symptoms just like these, except her TSH levels were high (they didn't bother testing anything else, though). She has hypothyroidism.
ugh, I've been waiting for four days now, and it still hasn't actually started properly 😢 (there's just this tiny little leak, I guess) 😢 now it's probably going to be a total headache for me for the rest of the summer
Alex White here. I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, and I guess I just wanted to share some thoughts. Maybe I'm overthinking things, but it feels like we're all just trying to find our footing, you know? It's not always easy. I mean, sometimes everything feels a bit overwhelming, and that's okay. I think we should all try to be a little kinder to ourselves. Just an idea, I suppose. Anyway, I'll stop rambling now. kaže: I mean, my hands feel so heavy around the stomach area, especially his. It honestly helps relieve that pressure. And I guess having more sex helps ease that tension even more, too.😍
It doesn't really hurt me, I guess. So, maybe my dear won't have to deal with me being such a headache during those days. 😢
I really need to grab some breakfast, honestly. My stomach is growling so loud I feel like I'm actually distracting everyone during my lectures at the university.😬Usually, I’ll just have some Cocoa Puffs or maybe grab a pastry from the campus cafe if I don't have enough time to eat something at home first.
I honestly think this is all happening because... you know, those families used to spend all their time tending sheep out in the rural hills and the countryside...🤣 but now, I guess the younger generations have finally moved down from the mountains and into the local coffee shops.🤣
Everything makes sense to me now... I ended up grabbing two grapefruits yesterday, so I spent the rest of the evening just enjoying the breeze outside.😈
shadowfalcon33 said:When you look at what makes up a healthy adult body, you have to start with the core—the bone marrow. It’s really the foundation. Then you’ve got the gallbladder and the liver acting as those little chemical processing centers, kind of like a yellow storage bag and a filter working together. I guess the marrow is the last part of that specific group to really kick in, but it's all vital.
Just a quick heads-up on the biology here—the tonsils, lymph nodes, and spleen aren't actually blood-forming organs. I guess it’s worth noting that blood cells don't normally develop in those spots.
So, what’s even the point of having a spleen? I mean, seriously, what does it actually do for us?😛 I know it produces lymphocytes or leukocytes... though I'm definitely not an expert on all this stuff.😬 )
I mean, sure, Coca-Cola isn't exactly helping your liver health, but I haven't heard anyone say that having just a little bit would actually mess up your lab results that much.
Megan Reed said:It’s because nobody actually addressed what I wrote a few pages back in this thread...
And these are the following FACTS [if you don't believe me, just check with the social medicine department at the CDC, which keeps all the official records here in the States regarding terminations in medical facilities]:
#1: Out of all the women seeking an abortion, the largest group falls in the 30-39 AGE RANGE. -> So, look at that—it's not just teenagers we're talking about. 🙄
#2: The highest percentage of women requesting abortions are actually MARRIED (66.1%). 🙄
#3: Among the women who seek abortions, the biggest group consists of those who already have two children—that's 34.9%. 🙄
Now, just look at how many Catholics there are in this country overall, compared to the total number of women in America, and tell me how many of those women getting abortions could possibly be Catholic. Then, maybe, give me your conclusion. 🙂
I think I’d go after the fish first. Honestly, there’s no way I could finish an entire Cow by myself, and the smell would just be too much. Gross. I’d probably just drag it home and toss it straight into the freezer—assuming it isn't way too old, though. Beef can be pretty nasty if it's past its prime. If it was some ancient Cow just waiting to break loose and eat the calves, I'd pass.😛
Lisa Barrett22 said:It feels a bit late to be debating whether she should have slept with him or if she was mentally prepared for it. We’re really just talking about the aftermath and what happens next. Since she's so young and this isn't even a steady relationship—or at least one built on trust—I honestly think an abortion is her best move. Setting aside the whole morality debate for a second, let's be real: how is she supposed to raise a kid without some kind of massive support system behind her?
I'm not exactly an activist for abortion rights (maybe I come across that way 😁), but sometimes it's truly the only option available in that moment. Look, it happened. We can sit here all day acting like experts and judging her for being with him, but this could happen to anyone. 🙂
By the way, my (ex-)friend's mom had about ten abortions. And the woman can still get pregnant without any issues...👎
I wouldn't say I'm that against abortion; I just can't wrap my head around that kind of behavior. Honestly, you'd lose your mind being with someone who acts like they're just heading out to pick up a pack of condoms.🙄 😲
Kristina19 said:Sure, because keeping a kid on your payroll at 18 is definitely always the right call, right? Maybe if their parents actually have the cash and the free time to raise them while they finish school, but that's a huge if. 🙄
I mean, maybe the better move would've been waiting until she was actually mentally mature—though I guess people never really reach that point—instead of just hooking up with some random guy. Was it a choice? Yeah. Well, now she has to deal with the fallout. Maybe David was being a little aggressive about it, but I think he kind of has a point.👍
Can anyone tell me if walking is actually bad for my liver? I recently dealt with mono, and my enzyme levels are still slightly elevated. I’m not pushing myself or overdoing it, but since I used to be in much better shape, it might look like I'm walking quite a bit more than I really am.🙂Is there any chance this could significantly make things worse?
It doesn't really hurt that much, honestly. I've probably only dealt with it a handful of times in my nearly ten-year career😁 when I catch a cold. It just gets under my skin, I guess. Knowing it's going to hit me five days before it actually does... it's frustrating. Just waiting for it to happen, even now.😠
Back when I worked as an asbestos removal supervisor, I used to take samples into the lab to test if the material actually contained asbestos.
I dealt with my own gas mesh issue maybe 20 or 25 years ago.
From what I understand, nowadays they mostly use Teflon fiber or Zetex(TM).
Plus, the techniques have changed so much that you don't even need to heat things over an open flame or on a mesh cover anymore... or maybe I'm just wrong about that.
I remember writing to Pfizer for advice regarding my asbestosis, and honestly, they seemed to know less than I did; I actually ended up sending them links to help them out. When I went looking for info on whether anyone in America kept a registry for "asbestosis victims," nobody could give me a straight answer.
People on this forum used to make fun of me until about a year ago, when the actual numbers finally came out—showing how many people over here have gotten sick, passed away, or are still dying.
I wouldn't trust anything labeled "asbestos-free." It’s easy to find everything online, but most of it is in English and there is just so much of it out there—maybe 30 million articles or something.
Asbestos in the home
I hope that helps a little bit.
🙂 😉 😎
The meshes contain asbestos, and we use them to heat various containers. The lab is old, and we don't really have a choice but to work with these meshes. Nobody ever told us if it was dangerous or gave us any kind of warning.😢
