I have IBS-D, 30F, I occasionally, get really bad pelvic pain and anal pain post diarrhea. Like 5/10 pain like a throbbing/cramping.
Anyone know what it might be or has experienced it.
I started taking inositol (4:1/ wholesome story) 4g/day split into 2 doses close to meals. After less than a week, my stomach was constantly upset and the gerd/gastritis i worked so hard to get rid of was raging.
I want to push through but I’m nervous. Curious to hear others experiences.
I’m new to the paper pure but liking the medium marker!
I had my gallbladder removed Feb 2025. I recently had some RUQ pain (July 2026), and an ultrasound showed a hemangioma and fatty liver.
I had 2 abdominal ultrasounds in 2024 to find the gallstones and never mentioned of a hemangioma.
My understanding is that hemangiomas don't just appear in adulthood, which makes me nervous but my doctor seemed unbothered and just said do a repeat ultrasound in 6 months.
Just curious about other’s experiences

Hi had my GB removed in Feb 2025. Surgery went well, easy recovery, no complications. The DR said it was full of stones and angry/inflamed.
I have had some routine liver checks at my request at about 6 month and 15 months post op. My numbers are fine.
For maybe the last 5 months I have been having very dull pain/soreness around my right ribs/liver. It is a little sore to touch (like a very slight tight muscle) and sometimes it is sore, not painful but gets my attention.
Anyone have this experience/know whats going on?
Maybe unrelated: prior and post GB removal I have IBS-D.
Im being considered for a leadership role at a nonprofit, and I’m having a hard time deciding how I feel about it. Would love people’s opinions..
Pros:
Almost a $20K salary increase
Employer RRSP contributions
Better title and stronger long-term career trajectory
Puts me back on the market in a formal leadership role(currently in consulting)
Potentially more stability than my current consulting firm, which has been experiencing some financial challenges
Cons:
Much less flexibility in terms of working from home and choosing my workdays (completely WFH to at least 3 days in office) - commute is 45-50 minutes each way
Back to a five-day workweek instead of working nine days out of every ten
Less time and energy to grow a side gig i care about and generates a little extra income
New CEO (less than 3 months) and new SLT
The organization seems disorganized
The hiring process has been a little messy: i was initially rejected after making it to the final stage. HR later came back and said the selected candidate’s salary expectations were far outside the range. They told me I had been “neck and neck” with that person and that the ED asked whether it was too late to reach back out to me. Apparently, the process happened while the head of HR was away, and they said I should not have been rejected so quickly.

I started pitching earlier this year in 2 leagues: co-ed and women’s. After a bad first outing, in women’s, I really felt like I got into my groove. Was feeling really confident.
Randomly, in a not tight game where we were up 5, top 7, I was completely unable to throw a strike. Lost all control.
Fast forward to my co-ed game and practice during the week, I’m fine (granted co-ed uses a bigger ball and I find it easier to pitch). I even throw 3-4 buckets of balls before the women’s game, 10-12 strikes in a row.
Then game time, cannot get a strike for the first 3 batters and pull myself.
I’m so frustrated. I practiced again yesterday, same field, same balls. 50–60% strike. Not great. But better.
I am dreading my women’s game. Thinking about it way too much. It doesn’t help that the team is unsupportive, no encouragement at all. Quiet on the bench. No “shake it off”. Or “we know you got it”. Silence and annoyance is palpable..talking to each other. Not me. Which obviously adds stress.
Anyone have tips to break the funk.
EDIT: post practice update. I was getting a bit frustrated. But decided to see what would happen if I backed up like 1 foot and actually got right into a groove. I have always been scared for standing farther because I was worried about accuracy and distance. But it actually felt easier.
Hi! (I’ll cross post this in the goldeneyes’ subreddit).
I’m a huge Montreal fan who will be in Vancouver with my partner for the first game of the playoffs. We were hoping to go to a sports bar/somewhere where they might show the game (May 2nd 2pm ET/11am PT). — bonus if there are other PWHL fan.
Unfortunately, its only on Prime in Canada. Which may limit bars.
Let us know if you have any ideas!
