makes it feel slightly better

on a road trip after a short vacation and went to use the bathroom and i got it back!! yay :)

Biscoff cookie ice cream
1 vanilla fairlife shake (414 ml)
1/4 tsp xanthan gum
2 tbsps skinny mixes cookie butter syrup
1 tbsp vanilla or cheesecake instant pudding mix
1/2 tsp cookie butter
packet of biscoff cookies

use almost all of your fairlife shake (leave some for blending), mix xanthan gum, pudding mix, cookie butter, and 1 tbsp of the cookie butter syrup in a pint. blend it with milk frother. Crunch up one cookie and put it in the base.

Freeze the pint and freeze the other cookie. With your leftover shake, mix in the other tbsp of cookie butter syrup (keep it in the shake bottle) .

After ~12 hours run under hot water for 30-60 seconds to loosen the sides. Blend on lite ice cream, then scrape the sides and move everything towards the middle, make a hole in the middle, and pour in the rest of your shake. Blend on re-spin for lite ice cream. After it’s done, crumble the other half of the biscoff cookie and put it on top. Then you’re done!

hello… i hope this is the correct flair for this post. i’m pretty sure i had exercise-induced sciatica (from doing rdls / maybe walking too much and irritating my sciatica) and i had a lot of tightness for a couple of weeks. i think i was a bit dramatic and went to the er because i had some numbness but yesterday i didn’t have any tightness or pain at all, and same for today! i am taking it easy and trying to avoid doing anything that will re irritate it - and i’m aware it can come back - but just thought i’d share!

i got an mri yesterday and it came back clear - went to er the day before that and got steroids and muscle relaxers to help with the pain. they seem to help / i’m slightly healing but i get bilateral sciatica and a tightness / like a rubber band is being pulled (but it’s my nerves) and when i walk around it gets much worse, even when i don’t walk that far or am standing up for a couple of minutes. however it gets better when i sit down or lay down, but right now as im laying down im having some tingling in both of my feet. i am just tired of this lol i want to be able to go to the gym and walk normally but my body says no.

i don’t know if you guys saw my last post, but i went to the ER last night because i got numbness from my sciatica and it also moved to my left side as well, so both legs feel weird. the back of my hamstrings feel numb (?) but not totally numb, i can still feel the pen on the back of both but i have some numbness in my crotch. should i try to schedule an mri for tomorrow?

hello! last night i was laying in bed and my sciatica (i got diagnosed with it about two days ago) was flaring up and going into my left leg as well. I was also getting some saddle numbness and was very worried so I went downstairs and talked to my mom. I might've been overreacting but I was scared and worried that I had numbness and wanted to get it looked at (and I couldn't sleep because my lower back hurt and the numbness made it uncomfortable). So I told her about it and she starts talking about how I know how she feels now because she's in pain all the time and I was half asleep and in pain so l kept switching my legs because they were hurting. Then she raised her voice even more and asked-yelled at me what I wanted to do. But everything she tried to say (help me with where to go) she said BUT... like me missing work to go to the dentist and the doctor (for the sciatica) was a huge deal and accusing me of something? I just don't understand. I did go to the ER and they gave me steroids and some other medication because of the pain but I do feel like I overreacted and then I apologized and she kept saying "it's fine." But she never apologized for YELLING at me. i just feel dumb and like i overreacted. but i feel better now just some soreness in my lower back and tight back of the knee.
