I went to the ER after a week of on and off pain in my left leg. I measured my thigh/calf and my left leg is a half inch bigger than my right in both sections. I kept trying to ignore it and say “Oh well I’m not active enough. That one day I had to squat outside to pee might have started the pain it was the same day it came up. It goes away after I take ibuprofen. Feels better when I massage it.” But today I can barely walk. The pain hurts! So I finally go in and they seem like they listen to me and aren’t brushing me off since I’m only 31. I do have POTS which causes poor blood circulation, low blood pressure and blood pooling in my legs. They did blood work and an ultrasound on the leg that hurts. They didn’t see anything on my ultrasound but THEY DIDNT DO A D DIMER TEST! All because I have no other symptoms. Like no trouble breathing or pain in chest. Am I good? Is an ultrasound alone good enough? I honestly don’t wanna fight with the doc and am happy to just go home. I’ve been here for 4 hours now.

Who the hell wants to start all over again?! Never in my 31 years living in SoCal has a wild fire ever come this close to burning my home down. I live next to La Sierra park and only one street away from the evacuation warning. How are yall doing?

(I know this is Riverside but I couldn’t post in Los Angeles sub since I don’t have any history in that sub)

Can people in cities like Alhambra, Pasadena, Montebello, San Gabriel or Inglewood vote for Spencer Pratt??

Please don’t call me stupid lol yes I know I don’t understand the politics in LA. I’m from a different county, but I have a lot of family in Los Angeles. I only understand my county’s politics. And since they say they’ll vote for him it’s making me think I don’t know how it goes out there I guess??

Well with the whole Spencer Pratt thing going on my stupid family in the LA area want to vote for him. They have never ever voted and say they are going to register for the first time just to vote for him. My husband said “Wait a minute….sure they live in LA county but they live in different cities I dont think they can vote for him” that’s a good point..

I’m unsure if it’s vertigo from a vestibular migraine or Ménière’s disease. Sometimes I do have vertigo with ear symptoms sometimes it’s just vertigo alone. But recently I’ve had vertigo spells that I can tell are coming. I feel weird. I feel a bit off and dizzy ish then an hour later or sometimes sooner BOOM room spins and I have to take meds and lie down. Bonine has help shorten the time span of it without the super duper grogginess.

I am 32F and she’s 26F. I honestly don’t know how to feel about this. (to be fair I don’t ever show any cleavage cause I have none. My breasts are barely A cups & I’m a tomboy who only wears T shirts) I don’t remember why the subject of my boobs came up but she talked about how my nipples always poke through my shirt because I don’t wear bras and how she told her husband 35M not to look at them….weird thing to have to tell him. And he didn’t even point them out to her she did first. He’s never given me or my husband weird vibes. He’s actually a sweet caring awkward guy. I also didn’t think she’d be this way about me.

So it made me think to ask her something I’ve been wondering ever since I met her husband. He hugs me so weird!! Like I’ll go in and give a full hug, embrace him, and he air hugs me. Gives my back 2 taps with his fingers tips. Almost feels like I have the plague and he doesn’t want to touch me. So I told her this and asked “Why does he hug me like that? Is it cause he’s just awkward and hugs all women like that? Or did you tell him he has to hug me like that?”

She said SHE TOLD HIM TO HUG ME LIKE THAT!! He’s not allowed to give me a real full frontal hug so my boobs don’t touch him or so he doesn’t feel my boobs!!! LIKE WHAT?!?!? I have no idea how to feel about this!!!! I just laughed it off but idk what to do. Personally I want to just let it go and not give a fuck cause ain’t no way I’m gonna let someone else’s insecurities force me to wear something I don’t want to wear. I haven’t worn a bra since I was 16 years old. I’m a hippie type of person and everyone I know knows this about me. Everyone has nipples and if men can straight up show them, what’s the problem with mine making a pump shape under my shirt? I stopped wearing bras because no matter the size or type of bra I wore I would get neck aches and headaches. I’m also neurodivergent so it’s a huge sensory thing for me.

My parents never shamed me for it and would always say “They’re nipples. Big deal. As long as we don’t actually see them it’s fine. We’re family and it shouldn’t be seen in a sexual way.” So I always felt confident in my body and do what’s comfortable for me. Other women in my husbands family show the typical cleavage and that’s ok? Idk I’m so angry and I’ve been really close to my husbands cousin and didn’t think she was thinking about my nipples/breasts like this. She also stated something like “I’m not insecure towards you” uhh idk sounds like she might be….
