I spent a few summer months in an un-airconditioned apartment in South Carolina. nothing felt better than taking a scalding hot shower and stepping out and being like "HECK YEAH ITS COOL OUT HERE" before your body adjusted.

That sleep cycle app that wakes you up based on your sleep cycle stage is pretty gnarly, actually does seem to make a difference. However, I only really use it on days off, I'm so inflexible with my morning routine (down to the minute), the whole waking up within a window of time doesn't jive with me during the work…
But then you'd have to wake up at 6.
"Flex and point your feet for 15 to 30 seconds." Charley horse. Roll around in bed crying (tears are great natural moisturizers!) Face the day knowing that the most painful part is most likely behind you.
I'm sorry if you're bored or can't sleep but I won't get into an internet grammar tit for tat with you.
I personally think parents do it because they're scared of what they don't know. Most of us have only our own lives, and those close to us, for reference so our view of what's "normal" and what "success" looks like can be so, so narrow. I keep hoping more visibility will lead to acceptance, but it's discouraging to…
This is what I was wondering. Even if there were numbers to back it up, his point would still probably be confusing correlation with causation. I'm sure there's lots of people someone could love more than the husband they're willing to divorce.
Won't someone PLEASE stop thinking of the children?!
The system is broken, but that's not any individual's fault. It's not fair to take it out on them even if it's just verbally.
She's only a resident and she's already cynical to the point of insulting patients behind their backs? It sounds to me like she needs to get out of that environment as soon as she is able and surround herself with professionals that will provide better support and mentorship.
It's worth pointing out that fibromyalgia also disproportionately effects women (80% to 90% of diagnosed cases are women). Both examples of "garbage can disorders" he/she provided just further highlight very real problems with how modern medicine currently approaches women's health. See also: The Drug-Dose Gender Gap.…
Trust me, I'm familiar with all of those and do call people out for using them in my presence. I take GREAT offense to the idea that this is an acceptable way to cope. I am an OT in acute care and I work with people on hospice with some frequency. I am not cynical at all and respect my patients, both to their face and…
If you're in a position to discourage that sort of language, which you make it sound like you are, do so. "It's not a great term"- then don't use it and don't let people around you use it. Language in the medical world is constantly changing and evolving, it's not asking a lot. Words are powerful and I see too many…
I feel this way about Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and that zombie show and yet I don't go around clicking on articles about minutiae related to those shows and leaving comments about how it is meaningless to me. You clearly care enough to comment, so now I am left wondering why.
When it comes to diets, I think more people just need to use good judgement (which it sounds like you have). There is a strong body of evidence for just more veggies and better balanced eating for general health indicators. This might make someone feel better, but there are very few things in this world that can be…
I worked for an attorney/activist who hated the Muscular Dystrophy Association and its telethon for this very reason - they convinced her from a very young age that she was as good as dead. As an adult she protested them every year. Her autobiography "Too Late To Die Young" is great. On a related note to both your…
I like the whole teaching theory: Older siblings get more chances to teach things to their younger siblings and research shows that the more you teach something, the better you understand it yourself. Lord knows I regaled my siblings with tales based on the slight edge I had on them in school and life. More unique to…
Yeah, the only positive thing I can say about it was "it's very pretty". The rest was so banal, it was maddening. What made it worse is that when I agreed to go see it in theaters, I thought it was the romance film about time travel that was out around the same time. For 80% of the movie I was waiting for the time…
AHAHAHAH! It exceeded my expectations of terribleness! Nobody warned me about the weeaboo shouting. 10 seconds in I hated myself and the world. I'm compelled to cancel my Crunchyroll subscription and swear off sushi forever just so I can distance myself as far as possible from this travesty of taste and common sense.
