Just sold the car for a lot less than we expected, unfortunately since the car is with Jake's parents we were kind of low on options since they made it kind of clear they would take it to the nearest dealership or two but nothing more. I can't really blame them, its my car and therefor my responsibility, it just sucks that the best offer is about $2000 less than we could expect to get by selling it outright and we could really use that extra money.

I feel like a cunt.

Geoluhread · 08-10-2012, 09:27 PM

My ear has been hurting for about two weeks now, below the bar exactly.. I took it off for a few days and seems that something bit me there.. when I felt fine I put it back and now it's hurting again =/ I can't sleep on my right side now.
I've had the bar for four years now without a problem =/

On another note, I have THE WORST caffeine headache. EVER.
It's been a loooooooooong time since I had ANY type of coffee.. and about a month not having tea (which I drink, a lot)
I'm gonna puke.

Angelic Dissonance2 · 08-11-2012, 03:19 PM

Took Kratom today on an empty stomach and puked about 9:30 am.

Best sick day working, ever.

Also, I'll probably take that overtime day at Hamburg... [shudders] Hamburg.

Solumina · 08-12-2012, 03:39 AM

I really, really want to go camping tomorrow. We have no obligations for the day, the weather is supposed to be nice, and I just really want to get out an do something but my body just is not cooperating. *Fair warning there will be a little bit of tmi coming up* I'm having the worst period cramps that I can ever remember having. They have always been bad, to the point where my doctor and I have talked and tried a few things but so far there doesn't seem to be a safe way to ease that pain thanks to some other issues (and the fact that they won't let a 25 year old with no children have a hysterectomy, the safest option I would have, unless there is something much more seriously wrong). On top of the nasty pain the blood flow is insane. Like I've been changing my tampon every 2-3 hours and still absolutely needing a liner kind of insane. Again this is not exactly something completely new and unfamiliar, and in fact not the worst I've experienced, it just really gets in the way of life and I'm getting fed up with my own body preventing me from doing what I want for at least a few days every month.

It isn't fair and I just want it to stop, hell I'd be perfectly happy with a normal period but apparently that just isn't an option.

That sucks, Sol. I've been bed ridden all weekend when I wanted to go out, too.

Probably not a current option I suspect, but could you not save up to have that done privately at some point in the future, if there is no other treatment that is safe ?

I know you have to pay for most healthcare in the US anyway ,but surely there are full on private clinics/surgeons who would do this for you? If it's that bad and you are willing, and know all the risks/future lack of offspring ect? It is after all your body and your choice, and if you have the money to pay for it at some point who's to stop you?

Versus · 08-13-2012, 10:53 AM

The Navy would pay for it. Medical benefits extend to dependents.

Saya · 08-13-2012, 11:21 AM

The reason doctors are loathe to do it for young women is pretty much they don't want to be sued if the women change their minds later in life and say "I was young and impressionable! You should have known better!". Fear of malpractice charges actually dictate a lot of what doctors do, its part of the reason c-section rates are so high, might as well haul the baby out that way rather than wait forever and risk something going wrong.

Solumina, have you considered depo provera? There are side effects that might make it not worth it, but my sister was in the same boat and went on depo for a year, and it took another year for everything started up again, so she was two years without a period. Bad thing was it made her really depressed.

honeythorn · 08-13-2012, 02:04 PM

I'd have thought there'd be something to sign really, or perhaps some sort of test or counselling session ,to confirm you know the risks and understand . If not then there should be.

Seems a bit mental that you could sue a doctor, because they "should" have been psychic enough to magically know you were going to change your mind ( if you did )

Angelic Dissonance2 · 08-13-2012, 04:03 PM

Is LASIK worth it...?

Does anyone know...?

So true, although I have heard that this is less true with military doctors, I don't know if they have more protection from malpractice claims or what. I may have better luck getting this done now, I haven't had a chance to ask a doctor about it yet.

I wish I could but I have to be really careful about hormones due to a condition with my right ovary.

You would think. I could understand hesitance performing such a procedure on an 18 year old who has never had a long term relationship but I'm 25 and married to the man I have been with for 7 years, my view on family is extremely unlikely to change.

Oh well at least I'm better now, the first two or three days are the only bad ones, after that the cramps are mostly gone and the bleeding is fairly light.

I think it has something to do with all those women who had their tubes tied without informed consent in the seventies, and partly because people do change their minds, but in your case particularly, if you can't take hormones, what else can you do? Its just asking you to suffer until they think you're old enough to be really really sure you don't want babies, and usually when people have troublesome periods like that there's usually an issue in conceiving anyway, isn't there?

Solumina · 08-13-2012, 06:20 PM

i think if you have irregular periods then you have issues with conceiving, but I'm as regular as clockwork, just with a really unpleasant first couple of days. My issue probably wont be with conceiving but with viability after conception, I have en exceptionally high risk of ectopic pregnancies and even with a normal pregnancy I will be extremely likely to miscarry. I am at least lucky in that I have a very informative family history, everything that is wrong with me has been wrong with at least one of the women in my family, just that most of them only had one issue and I got a package deal and it manifested earlier.

Also I can take hormonal birth control, just a very limited variety and no period skipping.

Acharis · 08-14-2012, 08:37 AM

Solumina, you might want to get checked for fibroids (because heavy insane bleeding) or endometriosis (because intense pain).

Fighting a fire kind of sucks.

Grrr, fuck you guys... seriously. All of you. You know what you did. *scowl*

Versus · 08-20-2012, 10:12 AM

So since I've been in the army, I've ran 12 miles with pneumonia, 3 50 pound ruck marches on a broken foot, been told to quit crying from a torn ligament that filled my knee with blood, been forced to stay in the field for training when my spouse at the time attempted suicide, sat in line all day with what I can only describe as drippy butt-pee, and I went on missions everyday for the 5 weeks that I was constipated during my first deployment.

And now they decide an ulcer is legitimate enough to send me home sick.

What the fuck.

honeythorn · 08-20-2012, 11:00 AM

O.o That definitely is perplexing. Then again Ulcers can cause quite severe internal bleeding and puking...

Still all the other things you've had/done, sound equally as painful or debilitating ( hell you can still definitely die from Pneumonia these days ) so I can get the WTF of it all. Very odd.

shadowynne · 08-20-2012, 02:58 PM

mmmmmmmmm butt pee...

Catch · 08-21-2012, 04:08 PM

Diarrhea?

Anyway, I am busily trying to keep my energy up. I walked all the way to the UPS Store to send a book today only to find out they do not take PO Box addresses and it would cost three times as much as sending it USPS who actually has a lower rate for books as part of some book program.

It wasn't too bad, but it was raining and I already exercised today. There was these two jerks behind me making comments about ROTC in line to pick up some packaging paper and some guy on a bike offered to give me some water.

Oh yah, and the people talking about ROTC said, "They never said anything about ROTC Chicks;" implying they thought I was a guy and then, "Adam Lambert should workout more."

What the hell?

Solumina · 08-23-2012, 07:02 PM

I hate being sick, worse yet Jake is sick too,

AshleyO · 08-27-2012, 04:40 PM

I got my haircut today...

I asked for an old school 1930s version of a crew cut. You know... a bit long on top, but parted on one side with a severe blend around the head?

Didn't get that. I ended up with a common crew cut.

I really fucking hate these kinds of haircuts.

I'm going to have to teach friends how to do it.

Mir · 08-28-2012, 11:42 AM

Dpn't feel bad. They treat young (which is anyone under 35) exactly the same way when they go in asking for a vasectomy. I can understand the reluctance to performing that procedure on someone under 25, but 25 and up? I would think they are old and mature enough to have pretty much made up their minds about offspring by that point.

I guess not.
