If he doesn't have underlying health issues... I mean, is there any history of diabetes in the family?
blueheron46 said:yeah, great topic here... 😢 honestly, the only reason I’d ever bring up fasting to my husband is because of this. what’s the point of talking about discipline and all that if you just completely wreck your body and health in a single week? it seems like he goes through it every single time... losing weight and then just being physically drained for months afterward while trying to recover..
Megan Peterson87 said:It’s the worst at night... during the day I can kind of distract myself while I’m working or moving around.
I think the pain is hitting harder because I caught a cold down low...
Megan Peterson87 said:thanks, it was honestly brutal. I just stepped out to run some errands and I was practically on the verge of tears from the pain 😁
Megan Peterson87 said:man, I almost died last night... all I had in the cabinet was some Advil🙏 🙏
stormymaker24 said:good old tap water. nothing beats it.👍
bottled stuff, Jane... I only grab that if I'm out and about somewhere.
Eric Murphy2 said:Just pour enough alcohol in there to take the edge off... you know, just enough to stop you from feeling like a zombie in the morning.
Chris Reyes41 said:How smart is it to just run the juicer right before bed, toss the juice in the fridge, and then knock it back in the morning before heading into work?
Rachel Fox53 said:It’s most likely just a retroflexed uterus... basically just a different anatomical tilt. Most women—maybe like 80%—have an anteflexed uterus where it tilts forward at a slight angle. In other cases, it's retroflexed, meaning it tilts backward more or less. It shouldn't cause any issues with conception or carrying a baby unless there are other complications involved. During a checkup, the doctor usually feels for the position during a manual exam just to get the full picture.
Anyway, whenever a doctor makes a diagnosis, you can always just ask them what that actually means and have them explain it... Someone from a different field isn't expected to be an expert on medical jargon; that's literally what the doctor is there for.

Kate Barnes3 said:Okay, so I honestly thought the media was just being dramatic, but then last night, this thing landed right on my leg—specifically the inner thigh (yeah, yeah, I know where it was going, damn it)—and I immediately noticed it was covered in those crazy spots. I managed to swat it with a newspaper and finally killed it.
The problem is, the bite it left behind is swelling up like crazy. It’s turned into this massive 12 cm circle with a purplish-brown center, and it hurts like hell. The whole area is super inflamed.
To make matters worse, I just got bitten on my forearm too (probably by a buddy) and now that one is starting to swell as well.
I’m feeling pretty miserable right now. Both bites are throbbing, and I’m wondering what I should actually do and what kind of treatment they might give me if I head to the ER.
Also, does any of this affect breastfeeding?
Thanks!

Larry Vaughn said:thanks so much... I might give one of those a shot. actually, I’ve been taking some pills every night leading up to this since apparently it helps to start two days early. maybe something will actually work. fingers crossed everything goes smoothly... too bad we won't be able to grab a drink together on the trip 😁
