Linda Gonzalez5 said:People are talking about Vaginalettes—can I actually grab those over the counter at a drugstore without a prescription? My doctor and OBGYN are way too 124 miles far away right now...?!?!
Someone please give me some advice🙏

Casey Rogers47 said:These are basically your go-to tablets for whenever you're dealing with itching or that annoying stinging sensation anywhere on your body if those symptoms pop up.
Casey Rogers47 said:You just go see a doctor and tell them what's going on. They'll usually prescribe some kind of cream or maybe some pills.
I deal with those breakouts all through the summer. It’s just my stomach and chest that stay clear.
My dermatologist actually told me that this is just how my skin type works.
fadedbear8 said:How the hell can you split up someone else's quote?
Like, what if you want to reply to their first three sentences, drop your own thought, then pull out a couple more of their lines, add your response again, and so on... basically, how do you break up someone's text when quoting?
And how do you quote from several different people at once?

yourself, then add =nickname... check the example above to see how it looks. You just keep repeating that copy-paste dance for every single sentence you want to pull out. 🙂

Maria Wright35 said:Alright, one more question, and I promise I won't keep pestering you all... I was reading some stuff online that suggests if your period doesn't show up within two weeks of having sex during your fertile window, that's the first sign of pregnancy. Is there actually any truth to that? It sounds a bit too much like a miracle to me... and please, just don't start throwing criticisms my way again...
Jose Miller3 said:GSK hit us yesterday let us know that they just got the green light from the FDA orlistat to offer their big-name weight loss med to patients "over the counter"—meaning no prescription required.
The drug is going to be called Alli. Honestly, even the name gives away GSK’s whole strategy here: you aren't magically going to melt away, but it's supposed to be your "best ally" while you work on losing weight!
It's pretty huge news, so I figured, hey, let's actually talk about this 🙂
We’ve actually touched on orlistat before on the forums—back when people were discussing those girls who were taking Xenical and seeing some serious results. Xenical uses the exact same active ingredient, except the Alli version has half the strength, and obviously, you used to need a doctor's note for that one.
So, a few things are weighing on my mind:
1) What do you guys think about someone just walking into a CVS or Walgreens and grabbing something that is (almost guaranteed) to cause some pretty nasty side effects? We've talked about the side effects before, but just to recap: constant, uncontrollable diarrhea, gas... GSK claims these issues will be less intense because the dose is lower, but let's be real, they're big pharma... who's actually going to take their word for it? 😁 😁
2) Do you think this might backfire? People rarely read the fine print on medication labels. It'll be tough for folks to realize that Alli isn't a magic bullet on its own—you still have to cut calories and watch your fat intake for it to even work. Are people just going to eat more and then act shocked when the scale doesn't budge?
3) If you aren't dealing with severe obesity 🤔, would you actually pick something like this up? Something that might help you speed up the process if you actually stay disciplined? And how much would you be willing to shell out for it?
Alright, I'm listening. 🙂 Just please don't give me two and a half answers after I spent half an hour setting up this thread... 😁

Sandra Ross27 said:Edward Green, you clearly have a terrible eye doctor. I’ve dealt with prescription mismatches before too, but the only time I had a disaster was when some "genius" sub doc filled in for my regular ophthalmologist while he was on vacation, and those lenses gave me a massive migraine. I don't get why you didn't just file a complaint immediately to get a re-check and a new pair of lenses??? One side was probably way off, either too strong or too weak.
I honestly will never understand why some people are so insecure about wearing glasses. There is zero shame in being nearsighted and rocking frames. These days, you can find basically any style you want at any shop. It blows my mind that people won't even take a simple step to fix their own comfort.
🤣William Thomas3, you'd be better off just getting LASIK. Or maybe just DIY it in your garage.
Sandra Ross27 said:Man, give me a break. If you're sitting at a -4.00 prescription like I am, you better have some backup glasses. This isn't just about squinting at the TV; it's about driving. Imagine losing a contact lens and being totally stranded because you can't see a damn thing behind the wheel without your glasses...
