Third time's the charm, I guess. Since there hasn't been a single reply yet... anybody? 🤷

I'm asking again for those of us who aren't exactly close to Malibu or Dr. Glusac. 🙂

Hey everyone! Just wondering if anyone here has had any experience dealing with Dr. Parazajder over at Saint Jude in Washington, D.C.? Thanks in advance!

Gregory Cooper5 said:The joint is totally locked up—can't move it up, down, or any side-to-side. Zero rotation possible. Honestly, that joint felt a little weak even before this, and I doubt anything actually snapped, but the pain is driving me nuts.

That doesn't sound good at all... you should probably go get an X-ray or an MRI just to be safe.

I’m not really following this topic since I haven't found a reason to care yet (🙂), but there was actually a health segment on J.P. Morgan today... you might find some useful info there. 🤷

coppermarlin14 said:Oh, right! And let’s not forget to start a whole new thread about pregnancy nutrition once we’ve all passed away—just so we can talk about weight management and what kind of food actually stops us from feeling miserable.

coppermarlin14, you sure that carnivore diet is actually the move if you're trying to drop weight? I saw you mentioning it on another thread. Even if you manage to slim down, I'm worried you'll just pack it all back on three times over during pregnancy... and honestly, I haven't even started on my thoughts regarding how "healthy" that diet really is.🤷

Zachary Fox58 said:....every single time I shave, my skin just goes totally haywire. super irritated and red, especially on my neck... it stays like that for days at a time. since my skin is incredibly sensitive, I can't even touch Aftershave, so I just stick to some light cream... but lately, even that isn't doing squat. if anyone else deals with this, let me know what you're using. what's actually good for calming everything down right after shaving so I don't end up with an infection—those annoying little red bumps🙏

Let's back up here: what are you actually using? Like, what kind of shaving cream or gel, and what razor? Trust me, those things make all the difference for your skin...

But if it isn't: 👎

It's the truth.

Jeremy Phillips54 said:Look, they’ll probably drop it within the next ten minutes.

Is it hitting CNN or what?

Melissa Torres29 said:I’m really digging this weighted walking idea. I walk a ton and pretty fast, so adding some weights seems interesting. Where can I grab some? What’s the damage on price, and more importantly, how heavy should I start with?

thanks

If you're around Washington, D.C., I actually saw those ankle weights at Microsoft the other day... they had them tucked into a "yoga kit," but the label said they work for regular workouts too. 😉

Yeah, the whole kit was maybe $100 or so, and if I remember right, it even comes with a training disc or something. 🤔

slycobra2 said:I know this has probably been asked a thousand times already, but I honestly don't have the patience or the bandwidth to scroll through dozens of pages looking for an answer. I’m heading out on a trip in a few days, and since my period is due right during that window, I really want to push it back. I’m currently on birth control pills, and I read somewhere that I should just keep taking them without a break, but then I thought I heard that you're supposed to skip the last placebo pill and just start the next pack immediately. Now I'm stuck wondering which one it is.
Should I take the whole pack and move straight to the next, or just skip the last pill? I definitely wouldn't want to end up pregnant while traveling. 😲
Thanks for the help. My doctor is away on vacation in Aspen, so I'm forced to look for answers elsewhere.

placebo 😕
Never heard that. As far as I know, once you finish the pack, you just start the next one instead of taking that seven-day break...

Did everyone who voted for Leon and The Fifth Element actually sit down and watch The Big Blue? 😬

Paul Davis51 said:The Big Blue is a beautiful movie🙂

Why am I the only one who voted for it? 🙂

I did, I did. 😍

I love it, which is why it's my number one... then Leon the Professional, then The Fifth Element, Nikita, and Subway... that's everything I've watched.

How many of these have you guys actually seen? I've checked off five.

Kimberly Davis52 said:Did you work out? Maybe just some muscle soreness?

Not an option for me... I haven't stepped foot in a gym in months (sadly), and housework isn't really my thing anyway.😬

Megan Peterson87 said:Aha, and don't you dare rinse it. We need all that flavor. Keep it thick, loaded with garlic, bacon, and olive oil. Throw some celery in there too.👍

Ugh, if I could make this at home, I would... but I'm stuck at work, basically at the mercy of the kitchen staff here.😢
Should I grab some steamed veggies with it? Or just ask them to drizzle on some extra olive oil?

Uh... it hit me on Saturday. I didn't actually throw up, but my stomach started cramping out of nowhere, followed by this insane growling and nausea—not quite "running to the bathroom" levels of sickness, but enough. Plus, a killer headache.
Then came the diarrhea yesterday morning and again this morning. 🙂
Right now, I’m just nursing some tea and dry toast. Even the thought of anything else makes me feel sick, and my stomach is still making all kinds of noise. 😢

Should I try eating some rice for lunch?

Hannah Watson85 said:They’re killing me :/ .. for about a week now.. it feels like I’m covered in bruises, just tender and sore to the touch, and I have no clue why :/ .. the left side seems a bit worse than the right.

Nobody hit me, I haven't bumped into anything, and I'm not even due for my period.. they just hurt :/ .. I thought maybe it was because I sleep on my stomach, but I've always slept that way, so it would be weird to suddenly feel this much pressure..

Any ideas?

Jesus, I'm dealing with something similar... like the pre-period ache, except this has been going on for over a month now, and they seem bigger 😕
honestly, it's wild that they're growing, considering I'm 26 😕 😕
not that I'd complain, since they weren't really an issue before😬

lonemarlin40 said:I just finished watching
...
So there it is... if you're one of those hopeless romantics stuck in the past, give it a shot... 😉

I'm with you on that... though honestly, it was probably better that things ended the way they did, otherwise 🙂 😍

@ math_wiz - unless I'm mistaken, this is either about to hit theaters or just arrived in town... lonemarlin40, set me straight if I've got that wrong 🙂

electriclynx45 said:So, I’m heading out on a family ski trip this January. Since I don't actually ski, my routine is to hit the pool every single morning.
Now I’ve realized my period is scheduled right during that trip. I'm currently on Triquilar, and it usually lasts about 3 or 4 days. If I don't take a break and just start a new pack immediately, will I skip that month entirely, and then have it again once I finish the second pack?

Yeah, you can.🙂

Brenda Murphy89 said:Memory loss—specifically forgetting what I was doing five minutes ago. And before anyone asks, I’m not an alcoholic, I don't do drugs, and I’m not exactly ancient.😉

It's just stress... burnout... too much information hitting you all at once. Lately, my workload has been so heavy that I’ve developed literal "memory gaps" where I can't recall specific details of my day. 🤔
God help you if you ask me about something I did yesterday.😬
