Ugh, that’s the worst. Generally I just go to the doctor once a year and they stab me with whatever I’m due for. Maybe bribe a friend with a car? Vaccination road trip?!! Hopefully it works out.
All of this bullshit comes from our general population’s scientific illiteracy. It’s scary how little students are expected to know about biology and medicine by the time they graduate high school. Most are totally incapable of comprehending how vaccines work. At the end of the year, I devoted two entire lessons to…
Sky fairy*. And I generally reserve my snarky atheist comments for when religious leaders/people do something legitimately stupid or hypocritical. Christianity was not the reason why these churches were burned down. Religion has nothing to do with it. These were racist hate crimes. Anyone who tries to make this about…
This happens to me though. WAY gayer at higher altitudes. I think because we are closer to rainbows?
Yup, drug laws always inadvertently hurt the people that need the medication most. And I’m sure you’ll be fine! Be careful on bicycles... around 50% of the men I know got their neuralgia from long distance cycling. There is also likely a genetic predisposition to the condition, so I wouldn’t worry. Both my mother and…
Oh, they are. I think it’s just med school’s fault. They don’t learn anything about our issues and assume we are crazy/have secret STDs and yeast infections. My current (male) pain doctor is really pushing PT right now. I live right by a pelvic floor PT specialist, but the treatment makes me feel worse. I’m glad I’m…
Seriously. It sounds like he got home from the beach/spa and decided, “Well golly, I feel like running for president today!”
Thank you! That means a lot to me. Unfortunately, chronic pelvic pain happens to people with penises too. I’m in a support group that has quite a few men with similar issues. One of my obgyns did encourage me to get marijuana (not legal here yet), and I did, but I never got the chance to try it. I started going to a…
That’s so great that it went away! Did it kind of just go away on its own? Or did you find something that fixed it?
obgyn’s are the worst at this. It took me forever to find one that would take me seriously when I talked about it. I think female gynecologists are more receptive to hearing about painful sex issues in general, possibly. I tried talking to three male ones, two of which tried to send me to psychiatrists. I was not…
So, this is a huge part of my life. A HUGE part. I have vulvodynia (and vulvar vestibulitis), and it doesn’t just ruin your sex life. It ALWAYS hurts. I can’t wear jeans. I can’t wear bathing suits. I can’t go into water with high salt content or chlorine. I’m essentially forced to wear dresses every. single. day. I…
Holy shit, I just can’t. A really immature part of me hopes these women really are witches that’ll come back and haunt the LIVING HELL out of these assholes.
HAH, serves them right. That’s fantastic. And thank you for all your hard work in promoting women’s health! We need more people like you.
Probably secret life twinsies? And yes. Yes, they really do.
Your grandma seems like a badass!
Oh my god if this isn’t an actual t-shirt already IT NEEDS TO BE.
Yes and no! It’s in NW Austin off 183. I am giving you an A++ and a gold star for parenting. Your son sounds like a keeper, I would possibly consider not aborting just yet ; ).
