I have global GI dismotility, gastroparesis, gerd, and gastritis, so my problem list is definitely pretty extensive. I’ve been through at least 6 different doctors in the last 5 years, and all of them have been awful. Very rude, refusing to listen, refusing to do requested testing/treatment, terrible at communicating outside of office, and I even had one suggest I get a colostomy bag at 23… I’ve pretty much had to do all of my own research to figure out what was wrong with me and how to treat it. They’re useless, and I’m so so tired of it.

Does anybody know of/see a gastroenterologist that really goes above and beyond in what they do? I know wait lists are long, but at this point, I’d rather be on the list, than deal with the current one I have. She doesn’t even want to see me twice/once yearly anymore. I want the suggestions of real humans, rather than going off of google, where things are uncertain.

One of my tooth fillings from 9 years ago just fell out while eating gummies just now (gelatin free, so not even that chewy 😭). I don’t have a dentist, and haven’t seen one in over 8 years. They’ve always been so awful to me. It was just an insanely uncomfortable experience with each one I went to.

My teeth were not in a fantastic state when I was a teenager, eventually resulting in needing those 4 fillings. Each time I went for cleanings, they always stabbed me hard in the gums, and then when I said it hurts, they would always tell me it was my fault because I was “too lazy to floss”. Depression was a big obstacle in caring for myself, it wasn’t laziness. Instead of being more gentle with the subject, I was shamed. Anyways, that’s why I hate the dentist, and I’ve absolutely avoided them since.

So does anyone know of a dentist who isn’t so rude or is good with people with anxiety? I’d preferably like to get this fixed this week or early next week, as it’s annoying to chew on one side of my mouth. The filling was in between two molars, so now there’s just a small hole there.

Coming from the original game to LTD, the lack of availability interiors is actually really disappointing. I feel like I can’t give the mii’s rooms personality. There were like over 150 interiors in the original game, and there’s such a lack in this game. Especially now that we can use them in houses, which I really like. With no update announcements, it just seems sad. I know the workshop is a thing, but it’s very limited, as it just covers a small area of the room.

My ~10 year old female (spayed) cat has NCM with a 4x Hx pulmonary edema, and stage 2 (previously end stage) CKD. She’s been doing exceptionally well, and has defied all odds. Last night, I noticed her breathing bordering around 40 RPM at rest, but this has happened occasionally, so I just monitored her closely. A few hours ago, her breathing was back to normal. Her behavior has remained unchanged throughout, and she continues to eat well.

In the last 45 minutes or so, she suddenly started breathing loudly on and off. It’s not constant, and sometimes she’ll do it for 5 minutes, then she’s quiet for 5. A little bit after the recording, she totally stopped. Her breathing returned to normal. Then, while lightly sleeping, she started making snoring sounds upon inhaling. It only lasted 3 minutes or so, then she woke up and went back to the low growling sound when exhaling. Then she got up and started eating, breathing normally. Her swallows were super loud, I could hear them from across the room. After eating a bit, she started acting like she was about to throw up, but didn’t. I just gave her a cerenia for nausea, just in case.

I’m terrified something is wrong with my baby’s lungs again… maybe this is a discomfort thing? Or maybe it’s a sinus thing? It’s 4am, so calling the vet is not an option. Any advice is appreciated.

The history and context is really important here:
