As someone who lives with chronic pain, and does woefully little about it because the last endeavor to diagnose cost me my entire $6k deductible (insurance is a fucking joke), it’s amazing how you can be like, here, Dr, the pain is RIGHT HERE, you can feel the hard lump where the pain is residing, right here! And the…

I may be totally biased, but some people’s thyroid disorders aren’t that severe, and so are difficult to detect in tests. Many of the “levels” that doctors use to quantify whether or not you have it were based on studies using men as test subjects. So, in my family, all the women have thyroid disease that has been…

This is giving me heart palpitations. Anytime doubt is cast upon any component of a Lyme diagnosis or misdiagnosis thrusts me back into one fucking camping weekend followed by three years of debilitating joint pain, hours-long back spasms, the inability to read, write or understand language (or even how to remember…

I have Hashimotos and this shit is real. I lost my body hair two years ago, it’s just starting to come back.

Lyme isn’t a joke, and whether or not “chronic Lyme” is real, all Lyme, and especially late Lyme, need significantly more attention and improved testing, diagnosis and treatment standards. My sister’s life has been destroyed by late Lyme — 10 years before it was diagnosed (she kept taking tests that would be positive,…

if you think patience is the most important thing when raising kids but you have to get high to be patient then MAYBE you shouldn’t have kids.

Hope you’re all big Cymbeline fans!

Remember, folks, punching someone who thinks Chrisopher Marlowe or the Earl of Oxford wrote the plays is legal in all English speaking countries!

Its called compression oppression

Oh god, straight wealthy white capitalists misappropriating Audre Lorde...this is the nightmare

The ageism in these comments is astounding. Let’s not be so shocked that a person in their 70’s still has all their faculties and is running an intelligent campaign. Stop giving a fuck about Bernie Sanders being older and start giving a fuck about what he has to say.

No.

Not all these women get dumped...most of them are trashing the dress post wedding. I’m actually more in favor of trashing a dress in the case of getting dumped because you can bet your ass that if I am at the stage of wedding planning where I have the dress in hand and my dude dumps me I am going to break shit. That…

Yea, it’s judgey. “Excess” to you could be totally affordable and reasonable for others. My sister is inviting 150 people and spending about $20,000. She’s not going into debt for it.

I wish someone would make a really butch sounding IUD. I would 100% get an IUD that was called something like "ThunderGuts" and came with one of those Detroit type "this is America, we don't worry about being fancy, we just get the damn job done" commercials.

PEOPLE. STOP SPECULATING ABOUT HIS SUCCESSOR. SOME OF US NEED TIME. THANKS

On twitter from some Americans there is more outrage about protesters burning the American flag than there is about innocent black lives being taken. Probably an unpopular opinion but i am glad they burnt it.

So how long until his shitty paintings of the American Flag hit ebay?

I wanted one of these so bad as a kid, and my parents wouldn't get it for me because they thought it was a stupid fad toy. Well, JOKE'S ON YOU MOM AND DAD. Puppy surprise is back and now I'm a 30-year-old with a salary and an unknown number of baby puppy-sized holes in my heart.

I'm still stuck on $9 for a cup of bone broth! Isn't bone broth the kind of thing starving peasants made when they didn't have any other food? It's basically what you eat after you've already finished eating all the grass in the area, and right before you throw a full-on Donner Party.
