42F- just diagnosed with primary osteoarthritis of talonavicular joint in my left foot. No injuries but possible overuse. Anyone dealt with arthritis in the foot? How to mitigate it so it doesn't get worse? I've been limping for a week because it's very aggravated right now 😭

Congrats to Jordyn & KAT- Kylie of course had to make it about herself but sorry KKJ, no matter how hard you tried to get attention, Jordyn made such a beautiful bride and probably felt obligated to invite you. And Timmy is not gonna put a ring on it

I bet Kylie was dying on the inside that her ex-best friend got married before she did.
Honestly though, Jordyn did a good job of distancing herself from Kylie and I hope she continues to now that she's a married woman. She keeps it classy, unlike KKJ. Who wore a cheap prom dress. And Timmy..... looks SO sloppy. Cmon dude, even Justin Bieber wore a suit and tie. WTF man.
Let's hear all your thoughts!

"If I have to wear a diaper" yes Kim, we know you've been wearing a loaded diaper in your pants for years now.

Since when did a loaded diaper butt become "fashion"? Last time I checked, runway models don't have diaper butts.

Has anyone ever taken Garden of Life raw probiotics (85 billion CFU) after finishing a round of antibiotics?

I recently finished a round of Doxycycline a week ago. It wreaked havoc on my GI tract. I've been sticking to bland foods which helped lessen the side effects. I started taking probiotics (the brand name mentioned in the title) so I can rebuild my microbiome. For some reason today, I was in the bathroom nonstop. And not from loose stool (that subsided once I finished the Doxy). These were much more normal bowel movements but I'm not exaggerating when I say I've gone at least 10 times today. This seems WAY abnormal and I'm wondering if it's the probiotics???
The reason I chose this brand is because I also take their raw B12 and it's the only B12 supplement I've taken that has helped tremendously with my anemia. I chose this particular bottle because of its high CFU (which I thought meant more effective???)
Am I doing this all wrong?!
Anyone on here who took probiotics after antibiotics- please let me know how you got your GI issues back to normal 🙏

Are you supposed to put barrier cream on the soles of your feet even when using those feet pads that you stick to the bottom of your foot?

Ahhh sorry if this is a dumb question! I thought the point of those sticky feet pads is so you don't have to put barrier cream on the soles of your feet. Would the adhesive even stick if your foot is all greasy on the bottom??
I just got a spray tan and I covered my toenails with the cream and rubbed it around the sides of my feet and back of heel, but not on the bottom of my foot since I had already stuck those pads on. When I got home and took off my flip flops, the bottom of my feet (bottom of heel and ball of foot) looked crazy dirty!!!! I quickly wiped them with an alcohol pad but it barely came off. I'll scrub them with pumice in the shower tomorrow.
Any pros on here can let me know what I'm supposed to be doing with the bottom of my feet please 🙏

Very happy with the Norvell Auto Revolution results

Yesterday I used the Norvell spray tan booth for the first time and my color has fully developed. I chose the lightest shade/lowest level they had because I wasn't going for a big change- I'm just tired of looking like I've been dead for 5 years with my super pale skin. The girl at the salon told me to rinse off 8 hours after the tan, so it doesn't overdevelop. I actually fell asleep and didn't get to rinse then because the 8 hour mark was around midnight. But it's all good! I rinsed this morning and the cosmetic bronzer came off but I can see the tan now and it's exactly what I wanted. A slight hint of color that looks very natural.
If I was going away on vacation to the beach or something, I'd probably go for a Level 2, but the level 1 is perfect for just a touch of color.
Highly recommend and the instructions inside the booth were very clear!!

2nd time spray tan booth user- this time I tried the Norvell Auto Revolution

Earlier this month I tried the VersaPro. What I liked:
I felt instantly dry after, the color developed quickly and LASTED well over a week even with frequent showering and sweating. What I didn't like: the instructions inside the machine were a bit confusing (and my results were a bit botched because I sort of missed one side)- although it did speak out loud, it was a bit muffled and spoke fast and therefore confusing. I also went a little darker due to the salons recommendation and it was WAY too dark for me.

Today I tried the Norvell Auto Revolution at a different salon. What I liked: The instructions were much simpler and clearer. It was fast. I chose the lightest possible shade and the girl told me to rinse before going to bed (in about 8hrs) so it doesn't overdevelop. What I didn't like: The machine doesn't dry as much as the Versa, so I do feel a bit sticky. I used a hairdryer on the cool setting when I got home.

I'll write a follow up post in a day or so when the color is fully developed and I can see results.

Was just hospitalized (Sunday through Wednesday) for a ruptured complex ovarian cyst, that caused an infection. At home now on antibiotics, with follow up Gyno appts. Has anyone else gone through this? What was recovery like?

I'm still in pain. But not nearly as bad as when I was admitted to the emergency room. Taking it very easy at home while my body heals. Just curious if this has happened to anyone else on here and when did you start to feel back to normal? There is fluid from the cyst in my pelvic area that body will just slowly absorb over time, so I do feel very bloated.

On day 2 of my period, and just had the most excruciating bowel movement of my life. Doubled over in pain and crying on the toilet. WTF 😭😭

Has this ever happened to anyone? I'm pretty regular for the most part (a bit off when I have my period but never anything like this). I drink between 60-80 oz of water daily, take in at least 25g of fiber, and exercise every day. I never have painful bowel movements. This was on another level. Started with severe gas pains and I'm still having gas pains. My lower abdomen is on fire still. I'm laying down with a heating pad but nothing is helping. It's like a combo of gas pain, cramps and constipation.

ObGyn annual Pap smear falls on the same day I think I'll have my period...My cycle varies in length each month so it's hard to plan around it. Made appt months ago- Help pls!

Not sure if this is the right sub- I usually make my annual ObGyn appts months or even a year in advance. I have my appt this Friday and I just started spotting today which means I'll *likely* get my period in a day or two. It's hard to plan around my period because my cycle varies between 22-26 days. So I really never know which day it will begin.
I am obviously hoping and praying it doesn't start til Saturday. 🤞🤞
Has anyone had their annual appt while they just started their period?

My baby hiding from the fireworks and thunder 😩

She's a bit spooked by all the noise. I've got white noise, used thicker window shades to absorb noise, and have AC going (although it's a mini split so it's very quiet). Can't wait for this all to be over. Not everyone likes fireworks and loud noises.
