I'd always told myself I would look up the exact numbers to quantify and compare but now that I see them I recognize it is scary but what's even scarier was the person I was pre-Yaz. I've gone from 3 pills (all with their own side effects) to just Yaz for my mental health, I'm less violent, and I'm in less pain each

Actually, what makes it even worse is that drugs that affect cognitive ability seem to hit women (and women with fertility and active cycles) harder than men. The younger you are when you take a drug the more impairment you are likely to have and the longer you take it, you guessed it!, the more impairment you'll

I was on another drug that had similar cognitive issues as a side effect. Mine has long-term issues since I took so much when younger but the best ways I've found to help are regular sudoku playing, reading a ton, and some brain games. My doctor recommended a couple websites that help you with brain training. I try to

At the very least you're fighting off scurvy. I'm more of a tequila sunrise girl when I'm sick but it seems to be the same logic. Tequila + citrus = health?

I worked in OP court where we would issue orders of protection. If you consented to someone filing an OP against you then nothing would appear on your record but you couldn't carry a gun for the length of the order. Men who had the evidence stacked against them (or had even admitted the act) would contest the OP every

I'm surprised it took so long too. They've been posting articles featuring the most popular pins for a few weeks now so I knew they had a membership. I guess they decided to let everyone else in on the action.

Oh heavens, not piss people off! Women should really mind their words better so people don't feel bad. He's killed so many men, he's gotten off for one crime for many reasons including being rich, powerful, white, and a man, so clearly this is just because he's a diagnosed sociopath by people on the internet and

People in pain and dealing with loss can and often do have irrational responses to things. You don't get a free pass in being hateful just because someone you live did. My therapist helpfully points this out to me and keeps me in check. Maybe this man should see a therapist of his own rather than spreading his hatred

Here's the deal, it isn't just loss of fertility oncologists aren't talking about with younger cancer patients. My oncologist mentioned it in passing just like she casually mentioned I could have heart or lung damage but not to worry.

My doctor did mention it but only to say basically what your doctor did after questioning, that ABVD didn't really have many known effects on fertility.

For me the minute I figured out I had cancer (between the consult and diagnosis) I had researched everything about my disease, the most likely treatment options, and the side effects of those treatments. Loss of fertility was mentioned but a lot of other health issues I have weren't mentioned unless I knew to look for

Worth it book: Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home. The ice cream recipes use cream cheese as a base and I die.

This is only for their scoops made between July to September 2010 right now. Thank God because the only way they were getting mine back was prying them from my cold dead hands. This and their cookie scoop are top-notch. The Target cookie dough scoop breaks on chocolate chips for some stupid reason.

Seriously. This is definitely a case of retail workers versus city people who hate country drawl or something. Every retail worker I know hates Wonderful Christmas Time. They even played it when I worked at Walgreens one summer because it was "Christmas in July" or some bullshit. I will never not hate that song.

The two that get my votes also happen to be the songs my retail employer played nonstop when I worked there over the holidays. Screw you Walmart radio, Feliz Navidad, and Wonderful Christmas Time. My day for revenge has finally come.

Some days it gives you the kick in the butt you need, other days it gives you a smear on the butt you don't need.

That really is my biggest regret in college. Trying to visit countries as an adult is usually a lot more expensive considering the amount of time you get in a study abroad program. Sure I could couchsurf but as a woman I wouldn't feel as safe as being assigned a host family that is thoroughly checked out and having a

My Old Navy yoga pants joined me in 2006, right before all the steroids I went on made me plump up. They stayed with me for the emotionally eating after an illness, through my honeymoon, through home renovation, and even through my 20 pound weight loss this year. They always fit the exact same through it all. Other

If you're weird, I'm weird. I didn't wear jeans until middle school because denim used to rub my legs raw. It wasn't that my legs rubbed against each other, you could see red skin on the outside and inside of both legs. I always do this weird "petting" of any fabric I buy to make sure it won't rub against my skin in a

I love my state's open primaries for the same reason. I'm worried because they want to switch to the caucus system and that would ruin all my fun and sabotage.
