Sometime back in 2003 or maybe 2004, I came across a post where a female user was sharing her experience almost like a short story,
the conclusion went something like this:
Erika Jang wrote about her fear of flying.......
I have been attempting to track it down, but my memory is failing me...
Could anyone assist?
How might one go about finding such a thing?
I realize this question is somewhat 🙂
but I would truly love to revisit that particular post once more....
I am not entirely sure why, but it crossed my mind last night... I found myself unable to sleep because of it, and I have spent the entire morning searching, yet I simply cannot find the right way to look for it again.....

THANK YOU. I SHALL GIVE THAT A TRY.
I am in urgent need of this medication,
It is completely unavailable in Ottawa, and frankly, I can't find it anywhere in the US either.
It’s out of stock in Washington, D.C. as well, though we were told there might be a substitute produced here in America—specifically, a human immunoglobulin (95% human) supplied by the American Red Cross.
We were actually advised about this possibility during our time in Chicago.
Does anyone have any information on how I might source this or where I could possibly find an address?
Please, I am asking for help urgently; every single minute counts right now.
I will endeavor to explain my long-standing issue as clearly as possible.
On both feet—specifically on those pads located just beneath the toes, under both the big toe and the adjacent digits—I have developed these sort of thickenings.
These calluses are incredibly hard, measuring roughly two centimeters in diameter. 😲
I have been quite diligent about applying various creams and using a foot file, yet they remain stubbornly unchanged. I even sought professional help from a podiatrist who managed to smooth them down using similar tools, but by the very next morning, they had returned. 😲
It is worth noting, however, that they aren't spreading or increasing in size; their dimensions remain constant.
The crux of the matter is that because of this, I can no longer wear any heels higher than two or three centimeters without experiencing intense pain.
You know that sharp, stabbing sensation? Like a sudden pang in your heart?
For the past nine months, I have spent hours every single night massaging these areas with heavy ointments. Before that, I’ve tried everything from pumice stones to exfoliants, but nothing works. And frankly, the massage itself isn't particularly pleasant.
To be clear, these aren't corn's or the typical cracked skin you see on people's heels—I don't have that issue at all. Rather, it feels like a hardened, translucent yellow patch of skin that seems to penetrate perhaps three or four millimeters deep.
I suspect this originated quite some time ago, back when those trendy, uncomfortable wooden-soled sandals or awkward platform wedges were in fashion.
But despite my efforts, they simply will not budge.
Does anyone happen to know how to resolve this,
or has anyone else dealt with a similar predicament?
Walter Myers4 said:Look, I believe you, but tampon use doesn't have anything to do with vaginal capillaries.
You’re bleeding because you're dry, or maybe there's a small scratch or something—you know? It isn't happening because you put tampons in.
If only everything were quite that simple...
No scratch was ever found, and dryness wasn't the issue either—not even when we thought that might be the case after a few months of sexual abstinence (back then, we suspected a minor injury, and the idea that tampons could be the culprit hadn't even crossed our minds). During intercourse, we even used a lubricant. And yet, I bled again. Despite the hiatus where one would assume any irritation might heal, despite the use of lube, the gentle approach, and choosing positions that involve minimal penetration... the result remains the same.
Are the capillaries weakened due to the tampons, or is this some sort of adverse side effect? Regardless, it is definitively linked to them.
As I previously noted, just recently, after using only half a tampon, I experienced bleeding.
It would be much easier to say it isn't the cause. Truly, I wish I could find some other innocuous explanation so that I could simply use them during my period without being doubled over in pain for three days.
But it hardly matters now. I merely wanted to share this in case anyone else is experiencing similar issues while using tampons. Please, stay vigilant. After all, I have used them extensively for a very long time.
Walter Myers said:I can only hope this is some sort of elaborate practical joke.
I am calling upon someone with actual expertise here—Jose Miller3—to weigh in. Is it even plausible that Voltaren could cause the capillaries in the vaginal area to weaken?🙄
This isn't some sort of joke.
It simply happened. One day, everything was fine. My doctor’s exams showed absolutely nothing out of the ordinary, yet there was this one specific spot where a capillary would just... burst. Constantly. I honestly lost count of how many times I had to deal with it; even my physician couldn't pinpoint the cause. Then, it hit me. What was the one thing I was using religiously? For years, I’ve been reaching for Voltaren suppositories every two or three days like clockwork. Once we realized that might be the culprit, I made a change. I swapped them out for chamomile oil vaginal treatments to help those capillaries heal, and we decided to take a break from intimacy altogether. Since making that adjustment, everything has finally stabilized. Is it always that simple? Sometimes, the most obvious answer is the one we overlook.
Last month, I found myself in a bit of a bind—I didn't have my usual medication within arm's reach, so I made the questionable decision to take half a Voltarin injection. It was a momentary lapse in judgment, I suppose. Now, following my period, I’ve started experiencing bleeding during intercourse. Is there a logical connection there, or am I simply dealing with a series of unfortunate physiological coincidences?
I should probably clarify that the bleeding only ever occurred during intercourse. It’s likely just friction, though—perhaps combined with weakened capillaries?
I have been dealing with agonizing menstrual cramps since I was fourteen years old. That means for twelve years, every single month, I’ve been reliant on medication. I actually tried a thousand different herbal remedies—which, in hindsight, was frankly laughable. Nothing worked; all they did was force me to swallow even more pills alongside my regular meds, leaving my stomach feeling like a crowded pharmacy.
Currently, I rely on Advil because it seems to be the fastest to kick in. My cramps typically last for two days of my cycle, and during those forty-eight hours, I end up taking anywhere from five to eight tablets.😲 😲 To prevent the pain from absolutely destroying me in the morning before heading to work, I’ve resorted to setting my alarm for 4:00 AM just so I can take a pill and hopefully manage the discomfort. If I don't take them immediately and instead wait for the pain to subside on its own, I am merely making matters worse. I end up pushing myself to the absolute brink of unbearable agony, and by the time the medication finally begins to take effect... well, it’s been a long year.
The pain often starts a day or two before my period actually arrives, but I can't take anything then, because apparently, taking medication at that stage can delay the onset of the period itself.😕 😕
In terms of what I've cycled through, I've tried everything: Advil, Buscopan, Excedrin, Motrin, Spasmex, Analgin, various combinations of caffeine-based pain relievers, and Tylenol.
Eventually, I landed on Voltaren... Since Voltaren is quite potent, I decided to switch to the adult suppository form. They worked wonders initially—I was using three a day because the pain was simply intolerable—but then I started experiencing bleeding issues.
I have absolutely no idea how this is biologically possible, but even though the suppositories are administered rectally, they somehow weakened my vaginal capillaries. Even the slightest friction would cause bleeding.😲 😲 Intimacy with my husband became impossible. And by the time we actually figured out what was causing the issue, a whole year had passed.
So, I transitioned back to oral Advil. It took about three months for things to stabilize, aided by using St. John's Wort vaginal inserts and strictly avoiding intimacy during that time.😢
Then, being the idiot I am, about a month ago I was in pain and didn't have any tablets on hand, so I decided to use HALF a suppository. Naturally, I bled during intercourse after my period ended. It was an absolute nightmare.
That is why I am urging you all to be careful. If anyone is facing similar struggles, please pay close attention to which medications you are using. Of course, it is entirely possible—and likely—that the bleeding was caused by the fact that I had been on these medications for about a year and a half when the symptoms appeared, especially since I was taking three a day. To put it in perspective: taking three pills a day for two or three days means consuming an entire pack in such a short window.
Walter Myers4 said:it was obviously just a joke. However, it is widely understood that urine can neutralize most toxins.
I realize I am quite late to this particular discussion, but what he said is absolutely true.
Last year, I suffered a rather painful jellyfish sting on my back. Good grief, the stinging sensation is indescribable; ever since that ordeal, I find myself scanning the water constantly, looking for anything that might resemble a floating plastic bag.🙂
To make a long story short, I ended up sprinting home in tears. A local resident suggested that having someone urinate on the affected area might help. Without much hesitation, I gathered some urine in a basin and applied it to my back. It actually provided immediate relief. Shortly thereafter, I was taken to the emergency room at a local hospital, where the staff informed me that my impromptu remedy was actually the best course of action.
To prevent any lasting scarring, I also applied some Vaseline, which worked wonders and ensured everything healed perfectly.
Though, I must admit, I spent a few days feeling rather self-conscious about my own urine.😳
