There are no “direct descendants” of Aaron Burr, since his only daughter died in a shipwreck and her only son died when he was 10. (He is my first cousin seven generations back.) You may want to read “Fallen Founder: The Life of Aaron Burr” by Nancy Isenberg to get a different perspective on his life and history. He…

I did the same after I had a baby and also ended up as a 32D, which shocked me. I later read that the curvature of the cup gets more pronounced as you go up in band size. (That is, the cup on a 36D is more “curved” than a cup on a 32D.)

In one of the documentary pieces, Ronald Moore explains that they ditched that long recovery narrative at the abbey to speed up the storytelling and they decided to stretch out Jamie’s emotional recovery over their time in Paris instead. Which honestly I think is more realistic.

I live in their area and they are actual real estate agents. I will sometimes get flyers for houses they are selling with their smarmy little white OC faces smiling back at me. Ugh.

I have interstitial cystitis and had PT twice. It helped incredibly for the tight pelvic floor muscles that often accompany IC. The second time, my PT also showed me where my “knot” is so that I can do self therapy at home when my pain acts up. Between the therapy, yoga, and moderate exercise, my pain level is much…

I have had IC for almost six years. I’m now in no pain through combination of Elmiron, diet modification, and physical therapy for the pelvic floor dysfunction I developed from the IC. Do not do the potassium test - the AUA recommends against it because it is not only painful but it does a terrible job of actually…

I have IC, too. I looked at the ingredients for this product; it contains Vitamin C. Needless to say, most of us with IC should avoid Vitamin C supplements. Just taking plain D-mannose powder will work just as well without the risk of a flare.
