It could be a latex allergy. If that's the case, you have to switch to non-latex condoms... I can't remember the exact brand name right now.

Seriously, if I tell myself five times in a row that my head hurts, it actually starts throbbing. That’s why I stopped doing that crap.

Why doesn't this stuff say it on the label?
I'm taking some antibiotic and it says I need a specific amount of time between the pill and my yogurt..

ER or a pharmacy?
Did an actual doctor even look at you? Are you sure it's an ovarian infection, or are you just diagnosing yourself? If it's a bladder infection, why aren't you drinking that cranberry tea?
They didn't even give me amoxicillin for mine... I'm still feeling fresh and I'm still treating it.

Here, let Dr. Miller rewrite it for you... 🙄

Go to the ER. That’s literally what the ER is there for, you know?

My brother is breaking out like crazy
and he’s got a mountain of face washes, lotions, tonics, creams, spot treatments, soothing gels, peeling masks... the whole works.
I mean, I have all this stuff, but it’s not like he can’t get to it.
He uses one of those things maybe once every two months.

And honestly? I wouldn't touch any of that drugstore nonsense ever again.
When I was younger—like 11, 12, 13 years old—my face looked like a literal minefield.
Back then, I was using stuff like benzoyl peroxide.
And right when my mom bought these blue pillowcases and duvet covers with little bird patterns on them,
the color actually bleached right off the fabric where my face touched it after applying the gel.
(Look, I know you're only supposed to apply it to the affected spots, but I wasn't exactly picking and choosing just the area around my eyes.)
So you tell me—what kind of heavy-duty chemicals are in that stuff?

Now that my hormones have leveled out, I discovered Clear+, and even though I still get some breakouts during PMS, compared to how bad it used to be, this is amazing.

It’s been over an hour now 🙂
What does it even mean if the reading is the same under my arm and in my mouth? Is something wrong with my armpit, or my mouth, or is this just my normal baseline?

Also, my temperature is usually between 96.6 and 97.3, but for the last two weeks, it's been sitting between 98.1 and 99.5...

This is about health, not some damn lawsuit!

So how am I supposed to cool down my room? Should I just bite the bullet and buy an AC unit? 🙂
It’s not even cold in the morning. Even when I’m a total zombie and crash at 5 AM, the room isn't freezing.
Thanks for the replies, by the way.

Also, if I take my temperature under my arm or in my mouth—and I haven't eaten or drunk anything for a bit—do I need to see a doctor? All I know is some random poster in the waiting room at my clinic said a rectal reading is half a degree higher.

I’m being dead serious here and nobody is giving me an answer.
Also, should the temperature under my tongue be the same as under my armpit?

Has anyone actually died from sleeping naked? Seriously.
I’ve been running a fever for two weeks straight, and I had to go get a new checkup at the clinic. My mom is convinced it's because I sleep naked—claims I'm freezing myself every night and blah blah blah.
So what, I should just start wearing pajamas to bed?
I hate sleeping in clothes. Everything feels too bulky, too cramped, whatever. In the winter, I’d much rather bury myself under a mountain of blankets than deal with pajamas—unless I’m so sick that my skin actually hurts.
And I honestly don't see the issue here.
Plus, she keeps insisting I have a cold and that's why I have a fever, but I don't have a runny nose, I'm not coughing, nothing.

If that was one of those degrading tattoos, my friend told me there's actually proven links between them and cancer. And she’s pretty deep into that whole scene...

I read somewhere that kidneys can handle about two deciliters of water every fifteen minutes.

I remember being absolutely parched once after getting my stuff, and I downed a whole two-liter carafe of chamomile tea between 8 and 10 in the morning. By the afternoon, I was running to the bathroom constantly and that thirst was totally gone.😁

Honestly, I don’t drink much unless I have a bottle on me. Like, I’ll be thirsty, but who wants to get up and go grab a drink? When I'm at school, if it's really hot, I'll refill my bottle three or four times, just sipping a little bit, and still feel nothing.

But then, if I chug a liter of water right after a workout, I feel like garbage.

Look, just a heads-up: if you can't handle them, just buy the soft ones. It’s better than struggling through it because you're never actually going to get used to them.

Kenneth Hernandez67, if you’re officially the legal guardian now, can you just scrap that power of attorney?
And is there any way to actually force them to cough up the cash?

respect 🙂
I haven't even opened this thread until today and now I'm freaking out 🙂
love ya. You're a total powerhouse, seriously 🙂

That stuff was amazing 🙂
I remember growing up with it; I just recall it tasting delicious.

A friend of mine has a gynecologist who doesn't just check her breasts—she goes through every single gland with an ultrasound too...

Yeah, and if you don't have a real nebulizer, just put a pot of boiling water on the stove and throw a towel over your head... Honestly, it felt easier to breathe yesterday, maybe because I actually had a fever 😁, but now that it’s broken, coughing is a total nightmare. My stomach is turning but nothing is coming up 😠 and this helped a little... I should have some Iceland moss arriving tomorrow.

I'm filing it, but they're just dragging their feet on everything.

Lately, I’ve been cutting out all the dairy. No milk, no chocolate, none of that semolina crap or granola either. It's just tea for me now and whatever citrus I can squeeze. Ugh 😠
Why does my throat feel like it's being scraped with a razor blade every time I cough? Usually, it doesn't even hurt, but right now it feels like someone is peeling off layers of skin with a blade.
