It’s not about being in a big city; it just seems sketchy to me that a major bank like Chase would close at 4 PM—they're basically sabotaging their own business. And you totally dodged my point about them opening early in the morning. Honestly, I prefer those mindless comments that just drag people without offering a single actual thought.

That’s not fair. I’m actually looking for info here, and you’re giving me nothing but vague nonsense.

Better yet, don't act surprised when people act like this...

Sandra Brooks91 said:What kind of bank closes at 4 PM? And not a single branch stays open late? Hm... So they start at 7 AM then, so you can swing by before work?

Hmmmm..
I live for comments like this....
I don't live in NYC, and it's not like this isn't the only bank around here that shuts down at 4.

And honestly, trying to check anything online or on a phone today is a total nightmare.

Got a crazy question. I need to wire some cash to a girl's bank account, but I’m stuck at work and can’t get away, and her bank closes at 4 PM. Is there any way to send money through the post office? How does that even work?
I'm in a massive rush here—she's being super chill about it, but she's been holding this reservation for me for a week now...

Here’s my story: a few years back, I’m at a checkup with Dr. U.M. at the Mercy Hospital. I’m just lying there, totally relaxed, when the doctor and nurse start staring at the monitor, talking about some "septum." I immediately freak out... until the nurse checks my charts and tells the doctor, "Wait, she's already had kids," so they take another look. Then comes the explanation: apparently, I have a uterine septum, but since there was a tiny 2-3 mm gap, the sperm were clever enough to find their way through, which is why I got pregnant easily (and had zero issues during delivery). They told me it doesn't guarantee things will be smooth for a future pregnancy and that usually, it requires surgery... stuff like that.

Just a heads-up, this all happened right when Curry was handing out mass diagnoses regarding septums—do a little Google search on that...😁, especially concerning private practices...
After that, I went to see two different specialists in private practice. Both of them were completely unfazed by the diagnosis and told me to stop panicking. Turns out they were right, and my second pregnancy went perfectly fine.

Not sure if it’s weird to have two similar threads going... maybe they should just be merged?

It’s tough trying to speak for someone else, especially covering all the stages of this illness... it started when she was 11, five years ago, and it hasn't stopped since.

Regarding pregnancy—she definitely didn't touch Imuran; she actually avoided it until after she gave birth. She was on Mestinon 5-6 times a day (sometimes more, even though it isn't ideal) and used 1 Decortin.

She knows Prostigmin and Mestinon are similar, but the difference is that Mestinon kicks in slower but lasts longer, whereas Prostigmin hits faster and harder—so she relies on that when she's heading out into the city and stuff.

I've been chatting with her lately, so I'll give you the full scoop on how she was mixing those meds once I know more. How are you even getting your hands on all that? Out of everything you listed, I've only ever heard of Mestinon... honestly, I'm not even sure if they carry any of that stuff here in the States.

Anyway, wishing you nothing but the best with the little one...🙂👍

My cousin’s been dealing with myasthenia since she was eleven—it's a pretty heavy case. Honestly, looking at her situation, it feels like she's on a mountain of meds. She's constantly on Mestinon and Prostigmin; without them, she's basically non-functional.
She had her first spontaneous pregnancy, and then when she got pregnant the second time, everything went fine.

I've been lurking here for a while now, just reading through everything... I've got hemorrhoids, probably internal ones, but what’s really killing me is this constant itching that turns into an unbearable stinging sensation. Sometimes it's so bad I can barely even sit down...
I had my baby 11 years ago, and honestly, the pregnancy and delivery were totally fine—not a single hemorrhoid in sight. I didn't even know they were a thing back then, though most women deal with them during that time... but since this past spring, things have definitely changed...
It started out with some mild symptoms that I just ignored. Then I tried HEMOPROPIN, which helped a little, and Factu, but that didn't really do much for me—it actually made the stinging worse. I'm constantly using Ansoo, and I'll admit, I go a bit overboard with the hygiene because the discomfort is driving me insane. Over the last month, I've honestly reached my breaking point...
I'm pretty thin, but I have a massive sweet tooth—like, a total sugar addict. I can easily polish off a box of homemade cookies in front of the TV at night, so seeing people talking about chocolate here hits close to home...😲

Two days ago, I went into the pharmacy looking for Dolokain, and the woman behind the counter just stared at me like I was crazy. She told me, "That's not for hemorrhoids, that's an antiseptic," read through the instructions, and I ended up walking out without it.

Now I'm re-reading this thread, and tomorrow I'm going to go grab either Dolokain or that Ultra... (I can't remember the name), which one is better for the skin itself, and how long is it actually safe to use?

P.S. How many people have actually posted here? It feels like maybe only 2 or 3 people have actually gotten rid of their problems, which is... comforting, I guess...😁
