What pissed you off today?

[HottieMama]

They never do. Nor does email, IMs, or text messages.

One-way service is cheaper, apparently.

Yeah...apparently....

 

[Curious_in_Cali]

Being reminded that I'll never have what I want. Never be what I want to be.
Being reminded that the clock is ticking and I don't know for certain if I'll be here this time next year. Grrrrr.

Sorry, feeling sorry for myself. It'll pass. That is what work is for! To keep me from thinking about myself.

((HUG))

 

[switchbitch]

falling down a fucking long set of railway station stairs and although there were lots of people around,not one offered a helping hand up!!!!!

 

[Vixandra]

Being stuck at home because I hurt, am tired, nauseated and know that going out to Disney Land would be a "Bad Idea." A trip to the House of Mouse is not worth the pain my body is already promising to gear up into.

I was raised in a military officer's family. Had I been there, seen you fall, and not helped you up (not *offered,* but *helped*), my father's ghost and the ghosts of millions of former military personnel would have banded together to rip me a new asshole.

And even if that were *not* my history, I like to think that I would have helped you up simply out of human courtesy and kindness.

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the jockey shorts of all those who didn't offer their assistance.

thank you guys it's nice to know that not all have lost all sense of decency and manners. And I was more embarrassed than injured, just a few bruises and scrapes and very glad I was wearing jeans since I don't wear knickers it could have been much more embarrassing. Chuckle

We all feel sorry for ourselves at one time or another. You are allowed. Try to keep positive thoughts. I believe it helps. Sending some positive thoughts your way that all will be okay!

Everyone isn't that out of it. I fell down a couple of stairs 4 months ago and I had two people offer to help me up. I usually like to take my time getting up after a fall, but appreciated their offer and help.

I'm pissed off that 4 months later my foot still hasn't healed from that fall. Better yes, but not enough.

What ticked me off this week might be a better title..

Our store was closed on July 4th for the Holiday.
We came in to open Tuesday morning to find someone over the Holiday had come into the parking lot by the main nursery entrance and helped themselves to our $1000, 600lb concrete four-tier fountain that was a beautiful accent to our nursery. So now it's gone without a trace. The Police report was filed, but I doubt we'll ever see our fountain back. Asshats. :caning:

Then of course I get my monthly visitor today and I'm in so much pain I did not even go into work because I knew if I did, someone might end up dead. Ibuprofen doesn't help it, and chocolate only helps a little. Every muscle in my lower abdomen is on fire and that fire seems to spread to my ass as well every time I move. I just wish the Doctors would listen to me and just give me a damn hysterectomy already! It's not like I'm going to need my uterus. Just take it out. I don't want kids, my Master had a vasectomy many years ago, and on the off chance I am with someone else now and then per Master's approval it means I won't kill them because I'm in pain because this damn thing is still inside me! TAKE IT OUT!

 

[Aurantica]

Waking up this morning to find my entire elbow still swollen and hot from a bug bite I got 2 days ago.

You're under 40 which means doctors think you will want kids whether you tell them no or not I really don't understand this - if every month you are in agony then surely it should be your choice to have a hysterectomy to fix this

It sounds like you may have endometriosis which for me would be a good case to have the operation especially if your pain is off the scale

 

[sereneone4u]

You are so selfish, arrogant and whiny...wow

I've been checked for endometriosis and apparently I don't have that. Which I'm thankful for.

What I have are ovarian cysts but they don't seem to bother me as much as the constant sensation of being punched in the stomach repeatedly over and over for almost 48 hours. I've had ultrasounds and they say they cannot find the problem and then recommended either an IUD or another damn pill. Neither one is an option I want to entertain as the last pill sent me into the Doc's with stroke level high blood pressure. Why the fuck would I need an IUD? I'm not with a guy who is fertile. I don't understand. I've talked with my doctor about a hysterectomy and frankly it's like I'm not even talking at all. She just says to me "You're to young."

Yeah I'm as confused as you as to why they won't give me a hysterectomy. I'm starting to consider seeing a different doctor even though I've been seeing her for the last 20 years.

Glad to hear you don't have endo, my mother had it and she ended up having to have a complete hysterectomy which sent her into early menopause. They left half an ovary which wasn't enough and she couldn't take HRT because it made her feel terrible. She's now 75 and has been diagnosed with osteoporosis - thank god I escaped all that.

It might be worthwhile getting a second and even a third opinion. If that's not an option, you might have to pin your doctor down and get a decent explanation - maybe bring your Master in as a support person Maybe if she hears from another how really bad you are, she may take more notice.

Hi, I suffer from PCOS (poly-cystic ovarian syndrome).

The reason they are suggesting pills or an IUD is that it is a hormone deficiency that causes the cysts, or the cysts cause the deficiency they really don't know. It can take a few tries to find the pill that works for you. I've done pure progesterone pills and a couple of bc pills. After a while, I decided the symptoms were better than the side effects of the pills. Also PCOS still isn't very well known, so a lot of doctors don't know how to treat it, or even diagnosed it. It would be worth it to get some other opinions.

One of the reasons they might be hesitant to do a hysterectomy at this point is that it does wacky things to your hormones. It will fuck you up. It will almost certainly cause early menopause.

One thing you can try while you're waiting for other opinions is vitamin B. I actually take B and D and I have had much MUCH less painful cramps. Also eating foods high in vit B will help as well.

Anyway, I know people who just jumped into the surgery and it took a few years for them to feel any better, and in the mean time the mood swings were crazy.

Look for a doc that specializes in PCOS/PCOD. The best ones usually aren't OB/GYNs actually.

Sorry, just a subject that troubles me.

That is what I have too. I had no idea about the vitamin B and D either, I'll have to grab some and try it. On top of the whole mess I'm hypothyroid too - and my specialist thinks I'm not bad enough to treat even though I'm showing several symptoms. So I've already had to go holistic and start treating myself based on research. I'm taking Kelp each day to help with that.

I'm open to try anything that takes care of lessening the pain at this point. I can't miss work every month. When it's so bad at times I can put the pain at a 7 or 8 out of a scale of 1 through 10, it's bad. I was told to use a hot water bottle today on my stomach but heat was the last thing I wanted seeing as I felt like I was in an oven. I think I would have preferred ice. I ended up going to the store and grabbing chocolate soy milk and chocolate ice cream and that was lunch. At least the phyto-estrogens in the soy milk actually make me feel better.

Thanks for the pointer on searching for doctors. I have a feeling that is what I need to do is find a new one.

Thank you both for your help.

My bank decided to charge me twice on a money order and totally fucked up my account. They shall feel my wrath as soon as I wake up tomorrow.

Next time I see her believe me I plan on asking some rather pointed questions.

As for Master, he's 1500 miles away, so it's a hair hard to drag him into the office with me. Wish I could, believe me. He wishes he could be here with me too when I have to go through these things.

Thanks for your help.

No worries.

A lot of people with PCOS also have thyroid issues. It's another therory about why the cysts form.

Heat really is best, but I can't sit with a heating pad. yuck. So what I do is take a hot bubble bath. Glass of wine, a book and a wash cloth over the problem area. Orgasm usually helps me as well, which is why chocolate helps (it releases the same chemical reaction).

Other tips I've been given over the years, stay away from caffiene, exercise, and drink lots of water.

Hope you find answers soon.

If you're already doing a few things holistically, you may want to consider looking for a holistic practitioner in your area. I don't mean, btw, some random herbalist or something. I don't know if you live in the States or not, but here we have a doctors who are NMDs, Natural Medicine Doctors. They go to med school same as any other doctor, but they've specialized in holistic medicines. My mom has been going to one for a couple years now and it's helped her out with her problems a LOT. She went to get allergy problems taken care of, but they treated her thyroid problems and adrenal problems once she got those under control and, over all, she's quite happy about the care she has received. It's a guess, but I think that a holistic doctor will be more likely to listen to you and what you want, as well.

Came back to town to rent issues, lack of funds, a huge to-do list, and a scooter that JUST WON'T BLOODY START!!!!

RAGGH!!!!

Apparently I'm not allowed to mention my ex-gf's name on a mutual friend's blog. Mutual friend said she was going to be totally neutral about the breakup. What bullshit - she deleted my comment and sent me a message saying not to mention her name. I'm the bad girl if I get dumped and I'm the bad girl if I do the dumping and I'm sick of not being able to get some goddamn sympathy from my alleged friends.
