Differences With Medical Care

This still bugs me. When my dad had several kidney stones he was given hardcore pain meds when they took him to the hospital. Treated him like gold before and after surgery.

When I had my first kidney stone right in the middle of midterms I was so afraid. I threw up from the pain before my friend shoved me in an Uber to go to the hospital. We sat there in the waiting room with me barely being able to sit up. For the first time in my life my BP was high, which sucked.

Then when I was finally taken back it took hours to get imagery. The nurses looked at me with skepticism when I told them how bad the pain was. I explicitly said that I'm no stranger to pain, I have endo and migraines, this is different. I had to beg for medicine and they only gave me Motrin and acted like they were doing me a fucking favor. And the doc said I was probably constipated. Lo and behold no. I hate how men are babied in the ER and women are treated crazy.

Getting Trapped in the Car to Talk

I am still resentful of this and will never do it to my kid. Dad used to say lets go for a ride and then proceed to hold me hostage to berate and lecture. Drove me nuts, not like i could jump out of the car.

Being really oblivious with female friendships

I sqear I had the most intense "friendship" with my middle school/hogh school friend, we were joined at the hip. And then when she got a BF who she would eventually end up marrying, Alex, i was so pissed off. Not at her of course, i had stars in my eyes, but at him. I recall saying, i was here first and absolutely hated his guts. She would even joke that we would have to share her. I dont know how all yhat could happen and it still took me until i was 30 to see thaf i was gay.

Spiral causes by roaches

I'm in a summer sublet for off campus housing and it's a pretty dirty place. I went down to go cook in my crockpot only to find a dying roach in it. I'm appalled and know I can never use it again. Which since there's no oven in this place was my one way to cook. I am so distressed, my skin is crawling and it's taking everything I have not to throw yhe whole unit in the trash.

Seizures that Start With Dizziness?

Hi, I'm new here and could really use some ideas. I'm not quite sure if it's seizures but I'm afraid it might be

This started for the first time in Sept 2024 and now the most recent was an hour ago. When it happens it starts with dizziness that feels like I'm on a boat. Then my brain gets fuzzy and I can't focus for anything.i had to slide my card in the machine and could not figure out how to do it. Then I get full body shaking that starts at the legs and works its way up. It takes everything I have not to fall during an episode and I can't stop the shaking if I tried. The whole episode lasts about three minutes and I am really concerned.

Can't Cope With Summer Housing

The living situation in summer is with graduate and PHD students, I'm an undergrad who just needed somewhere to be. Desperate actually. To say that the house is disgusting is an understatement, the kitchen in particular is a biohazard. It always stinks like mildew, grease on every surface, hoarders r us, and the idea seems to be not my problem. Now im not a clean freak, but im not a slob either. But when things are messy i get tense so i went hardcore on cleaning every surface i can reach.

Theres eight of us in this damn house, and all of them are older than me. But they are so focused on their academic and career ventures they cant see whats right in front of their faces. I dont think you should be able to just shrug and be a complete slob in communal spaces and only care about you and your room. And the landlord just shrugs too. Ugh. Im just fed up.

Period Annoyances

I just thought keeping a runnjng list might be funny. Im on day one so i need sone laughs ladies.

So my number one complaint is when i have a fresh put tampon and then i get the strong urge to poop. Bitch, the audacity.

I folllow that up with are the bitch prostagladins migrating to my colon anc making me want to poop or is it cramps.

Sneezing feels dangerous because you might birth a bloody jellyfish, but also much like you cant trust a fart, you cant trust a sneeze because during the period i swear the whole area gets too relaxed.

Also, period farts are foul, lile im pretty sure they could be called deadly. The only worse ive experienced is food intolerance farts. I smell them and i die a little inside, but it feels like you cant help it because again everything gets loose AF during that time.

When the damn pads with wings dont do their job and blood gets on your underwear anyway.

Proctalgia fugax. If anyone doesnt know this bitch is also known as butt lightning. You will be chlling, minding your own business when BAM butt lightning! You will feel like you jusg got electrocuted up your rectum. Lovely. And you are just supposed to act normal after that.

When you are in public and the pad dodsnt reach far enough in the back and you feel blood go up the crack so yoh rush to the bathroom to shove toliet paper down thd crack and keep ghings sanitarg.

When you are exclusively a tampon woman,but just started so you arent wet enough yet to insert one so you havd go wait becausd pads are a big no.

When you get pubic hair stuck in the sticky part of the pad snd your soul cries out.

Homelessness and food intolerances

I had a thought that I really can't be homeless again because I probably won't survive it Mostly because I got diagnosed with celiacs last year. Basically , having a kitchen It's not optional for me anymore. When I think of the sheer amount of gluten I ate being homeless cause I had no other choice... And the constant stomach problems I had because of it... I'm not gonna lie.It makes me lose sleep a little bit thinking about how much damage I probably did.

The last time I got an intravaginal ultrasound they said i had chocolate cysts. Ehich i learned later happens in the moderate to severe stage and now im spooked. My mom has endo, and I really do not want to be cut open, ive never had surgery before. Is it worth getting another obgyn at my college and getting another ultasound?
