So I know how people feel about Buoy, but I didn’t know any better and got pulled in by their marketing. I also have GERD, so I have been using their digestive drops. The auto shipping got me, so I had a bunch for a while and am now running out. I do feel like they worked well enough for me, and I love that they are in a little squeeze bottle. Does anyone know of anything in similar packaging that has a lower price point?

I’m not really looking for any advice here, I’ve just been deep in grief lately over how my body used to be.

I started getting these really intense symptoms about 4 years ago, a month after I got Covid, and they’ve just gotten more intense and chronic ever since. I have to watch what I eat, how much, how often, how fast or slow, how much water I drink, how active I am, what side I sleep on, how I stretch, how I exercise, how my partner and I are intimate, how I breathe…. Every part of my life is so regimented now, I feel so stifled and restricted. And I’ve recently started PT, taking things super slowly, but it just reminds me of how active I used to be. I’m just deep in the despair of it all right now.

I know my mood will lift, I just need to let myself feel this and be upset, but it sucks. And I desperately want someone or something to blame, to hurl all my rage at, to crash out on so I don’t have to carry every venomous thought and feeling. I never knew how easy my life used to be.

So you know those dusty, nearly tasteless soft sugar cookies?

Well, I loved ‘em. I had to be pried away, hands flailing from these damn cookies. At least, I had nightmares I was 😅

Anyone know of a gluten free option or recipe? I don’t want to get my hopes up but I miss them almost as much as really good pizza

So I deal with reflux and have tachycardia associated with it, and I’ve seen a lot of people recommending abdominal compression for helping with pots symptoms, but I don’t feel like I can do that with my GERD. Any ideas, or light compression suggestions?

So I’m 36, and fairly fair skinned, and I need a good foundation for my upcoming wedding this summer. My skin type seems to be changing a bit as I get older, and I love a satin or lumi finish. I also would like a longwear foundation, because the wedding will be outside in the summer in western WA. I’d prefer a drugstore foundation, but I’m willing to spend more if it’s really, really good.

Also, if any of you know of an actually waterproof brown mascara, I’d love that rec too! I got the essence princess lash one a while back and it did not hold up, unfortunately.
