I’ve had my endocrinologist prescribe me a supplement that costs 100€ per month. 100!!!!!!!
Are we fucking for real?! Just the Myoinositol I’m taking costs 40€. Glp goddamn expensive too. Only thing that is cheap is metformin which is the oldest medicine out there and not even for women with pcos. It just happened to help.
It’s like I see zombies everywhere around me. Not wanting to do anything anymore. Many people have forgotten books and instead they doom scroll for a quick hit and relaxation because the hours of the day aren’t enough anymore. Constantly working, many hours, can’t afford the basics anymore, can’t afford vacations. Our physical and mental health constantly declines. Where are we heading to?
Specifically, Sonnet 4.6? I truly can’t get anything from it. It’s just unusable. Especially dialogue. It can’t create dialogues at all. It uses the most basic AI words and phrases on and on. Even if I prompt it to not say these, it will keep using synonyms of the previous words. I went from ChatGPT to Claude because of the same reason and now I just don’t know what else is there. Sonnet 4.5 was great. I just don’t understand why every single AI gets so bad eventually.
Ever since my diagnosis for insulin resistance caused by PCOS, I had to adjust my diet with zero carbs (which helped my IBS), a lot of fiber and protein. So about a month now I can’t even get up from the couch. It’s an awful feeling. I feel like I will sleep if I close my eyes. My colon is CONSTANTLY gargling to the point I’ve been asked if I’m okay by others who can hear it. I’m trying IBS-friendly foods but still. I can’t handle fibers at all. I don’t know what I can do.
I’m eating low carbs and no sugar due to my insulin resistance(caused by PCOS). I’m not taking any supplements for it because it upsets my stomach too much. I used to take inositol and it made me lose weight like hell.
Now it’s like I’m stuck at 80kg(I’m 167cm). I can’t go below that no matter what yet my waist, thighs, bust and all that keep going down. I walk for about 30 minutes a day so that may be not enough workout but the rest 20kg I lost were just from diet. So I guess it’s a good start. I want to lose 10 more kg (doctor said 15 though). I’m very muscular for some reason and generally my body is big. I don’t know how to explain it in english, sorry. I reached a few days ago 78kg and now I’m again up to 80. It’s like I’m stuck there forever.
Why?! Why does this shitty thing come back all the time?! I don’t get it. I go out and yes I always have some type of stress because I’m away from home but when I stay like 2-3 days in, then I have so much anxiety when I go back out. It’s like an endless loop. Anyone else?
I’m sick and tired of salads man… I have lettuces, tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli etc in my fridge and I can’t stand looking at them anymore. I’ve tried making French fries from carrots but I’ve eaten those 4 days in a row I can’t stand it anymore. I can’t eat most vegetables or seeds because of my IBS so my food variety is extremely limited. I don’t know how I’m supposed to be okay with this for the rest of my life. I truly don’t know. It’s like someone is making me starve on purpose. I just want a plate of pasta please for the love of God. I just don’t want to eat fucking vegetables anymore like I’m on my death bed at the hospital.
Not having a university degree doesn’t make someone less intelligent, less capable, or less worthy of respect. Somehow in today’s world, degrees are so common that not having one is the “unique” and “weird”. I never understood why NEEDING a university degree for every single job out there is a necessity. Most people can handle a job by having someone show them few things and your experience from the years will make you better. A paper doesn’t hold shit most times. People who studied had the resources, circumstances, and inclination to spend several years in formal education. That’s it. It doesn’t measure your work ethic, creativity, problem-solving ability, or value as a person. Some of the most skilled people I know (and is I strongly believe it’s true in most cases logically thinking) never set foot in a university. Many times not even highschool. They learned through apprenticeships, self-study, trial and error.
So yeah, I’m not an idiot for not studying something for 4 years (6 in most cases because of more degrees) that doesn’t guarantee a good job by no means. I’ve actually used those years to build something sturdy for myself and I make ends meet even much better than my friends with 2-3 degrees. Hell I even written my own book in English (which isn’t my first language) and they can’t even talk with a tourist and they have the best degrees in my country. So when I tell someone that I’m a tattoo artist and they look at me like I’m some type of underground poor criminal and drug user, next time I’ll show them this post. Because that had happened more times than normal and I’m tired of it. I’m tired of explaining that I DON’T want to study something not because I can’t read or have some kind of a problem. I just don’t want to follow this road!
One says I have PCOS, then the next one doesn’t agree and believes I have PCOM instead. Then the next one says I have PCOS with extreme Insulin resistance and another one says i don’t have anything at all and all the rest doctors are telling me I have something to get money.
Result? I’m frustrated. I’ve done a million tests. I used to have high androgens, extreme irregular periods, hair everywhere but I managed to treat all of these symptoms 10 years ago with the help of birth control pills and some weight loss. Ever since, these symptoms haven’t returned but I suddenly developed high insulin resistance. I didn’t gain the weight back nor I changed anything about my diet. It even was much healthier than my younger days but it is what it is. I’ve taken thousands of supplements like inositol, myoinositol (no idea why it’s so expensive btw) and metformin and they all fuck my brains out. They kill me. I can’t stand taking them and doctors can’t explain why my blood results get worse and worse. I’m 24 for the record.
I’m genuinely asking. EVERY DAY something just has to go wrong and then there’s me who needs to fix it. It’s like life is messing up with you.
I used to have nearly all PCOS symptoms (except Insulin Resistance) up until about a year ago. My period was stable, all hormones perfectly normal, no acne anymore and all that after some birth control, weight loss etc. Last year though, I noticed that my weight was increasing a lot all of the sudden. In about 7 months I took on 10kg.
I visited an endocrinologist and long story short, I have severe insulin resistance. I am pre-diabetic. And all that after losing 20kg. I just don’t get it. I didn’t do an extreme lifestyle. I can’t eat shit because I have IBS and it fucks me up if I eat stupid stuff. I tried inositol and metformin and my body can’t handle it. So now I’m on a very strict, very low-close to none carb diet and exercise because I’m scared AF that I will become diabetic.
But it’s so damn difficult. I nearly eat the same stuff every single day. I can’t digest a variety of products because of my IBS and the restrictions from insulin resistance makes my diet very restricted. I’m extremely depressed. I’ve lost even more weight, my bloating is gone but my colon is a mess from the fibers and I’m so damn hungry. I miss pasta and sugar so much. I haven’t had any and I can’t stand it.
Also, unfortunately my country doesn’t have low carb stuff besides just two types of bread I’ve managed to found which taste absolute shit. Coconut flour and stuff like that are very expensive, deserts I can find only include stevia and I can’t have any because I immediately get an IBS flare for weeks.
I’m so lost. I can’t live like this.
I may sound like the biggest bitch on earth but I’m tired. I really am. I’ve tried throughout the years but I am just burnt out. My friend is on the spectrum, she has ADHD and severe OCD. She only takes a pill for OCD 10 years now and herself she says that she doesn’t think it’s working. She has the same therapist years now but I don’t think either of those help her. Or at least not anymore. She goes missing for days without one text, it’s obvious her mind is stuck somewhere the past year.
The thing that’s bothering me is that she doesn’t want to receive treatment. Something else other than what she has now that obviously doesn’t help her. ADHD needs medication and special approach from specialists. Perhaps even her huge anxiety comes from that. She has stopped going to school, she can’t study anymore, she’s very tired and I can see that. I mean I don’t know what else is there to do. I’ve supported her for years and tried everything I can do but I don’t think she’s able or doesn’t want to help herself.
No matter what I do or the circumstances my sweat never smells even if I’m covered by it. It doesn’t smell like anything. Should I be worried?
It’s a very annoying feeling. Like all your senses are working full time and your brain has gone on nuts. How do you cope with it?
I need an entire list just to write down every problem I randomly woke up one morning with. My PCOS worsened a LOT, I developed IBS, GERD, chronic awful allergies, I’m now lactose intolerant, I have fatigue pretty much 24/7 and I get random hives all over my body just because I exist. It’s not just me either. All my friends developed some type of autoimmune disease as well.
In my family I have many doctors and we have talked about it many times. The amount of cardiac issues and abdominal issues they see in younger people is mind boggling. I honestly don’t understand why society doesn’t talk about it or doesn’t address the elephant in the room.
“It’s the stress of social media”, “doctors just diagnose it more these days”. Thats like 5% of the problem. IT’S COVID!!! I’m so sick and tired of pretending it’s not! It’s just that bloody virus that we STILL do not know where the fuck it came from and what it does to people. Come on, suddenly humanity (mostly younger people) ever since 2020 is like zombies. So many diseases and syndromes all around literally out of the blue. Please! No one can change my mind on this one.
Friendly to IR diet requires you to eat a lot of fiber along with protein. My body can’t stand fiber almost at all, so I’m left with an extremely, unsustainable plain diet. I mean, I don’t have a choice but I wonder how everyone is coping.
I’ve already watched thirteen lives, both the movie and the documentary, The 33, Only the brave (very sad), I’ve also watched the perfect storm but it’s not a real story. I’m open to suggestions that aren’t inspired from real events.
I keep hearing all the time that many have autoimmune diseases and particularly women. I have 3 myself and all of my friends have as well. My work requires me to interact with many people and especially younger so I see it all the time.
Why the FUCK when I’m trying to eat healthier (vegetables, fruit) my IBS goes haywire but when I eat fucking McDonald’s I’m completely fine?!
