Not so sure about the "if it works it's called medicine and everything else is pseudoscience". Unless this includes things like preventative medicine. I was in perfect health until I was medically injured. And they just kept wanting to throw more and more meds at me to treat the side effects from the meds I didn't need,…

Everyone is different. But, not all women feel threatened by their partner admiring women. And certainly not online from a far distance. And vice versa. We are all still human. If he/she is giving unwanted compliments then that's not cool.

If you are concerned you are either over worrying (and probably don't need to). Or you feel you are doing something wrong. You could talk to your wife. You might be pleasantly surprised by the conversation. I think compliments are fine. But, different people have different boundaries.

Yeah, scarring means something in the past. It doesn't mean anything about this present moment. I will get my antibodies tested again. Thanks for the info. Very helpful. It doesn't really matter what the dysbiosis is exactly. As long as I recover. I was in perfect health before I went to the doctor because I had a slight…

My plans are decided. Before Halloween I am going to a Halloween party. I will most likely dress as a black and white cat. But, maybe a devil. Depends on my mood that day. Halloween day is for my kids. After Halloween I got a job (for fun) as a go-go dancer at another Halloween event. I will be dressed as a dark angel…

Hmm. Thanks for the info. Maybe I could try. I appreciate the info. I'm doing so much better now. Seems I am getting better. Close to all better. But, I will keep an eye on it. That's a good idea. Do you recommend anyone specific? It's ok if you don't know. My Rheumatologist did say that she doesn't think the GI specialist…

Just checking in here to reply to the people dealing with medical issues. I was extremely incorrectly overtreated with very powerful antibiotics. Then was given another med in reaction to the side effects. It's a long story. But, I was very injured and debilitated. I went from professional dancer to sitting in a chair for…

It works for me. But, people can have different frame sizes and preferences. That's why there is a range. Some are healthy at the low end. Others are healthy at the high end.

On Facebook I talk about my kids. Well, I did when they were younger. Less now because they are older. But, it also helps keep me up to date (and organized) on events and dance auditions. And I found some helpful groups (also some stupid groups). Helps me stay in touch with friends, my twin brother, and my siblings-in-law.…

Thanks for the info!

This is a good plan (I didn't see the original post). Listen to your doctor and the people in your life that you trust. You have enough to deal with recovering from not just the physical, but mental aspects of your disorder. It can be easy to get your mind all twisted up from misinformation on mfp. I'm not saying there…

Does anyone know. After reading this I am wondering if I could get the vaccine. They say you have to get it before age 26 or something. But, I have only had sex with my husband since age 20 (I had sex with other people before that). So, what's the difference if I got it at age 25 or I get it now at 38? I guess I have to…

We were lucky that page 69 was serendipitous. Today is Canadian Thanksgiving.

But, the most obscene exercise is probably the Cable Pull-Through. It's in the book The New Rules of Lifting for Life. On page 100. Listed as a Hinge exercise. Like Deadlifts are a hinge exercise. Actually looks like they list glute bridges under hinge exercises also. This is a book for people dealing with Injury…

^I know! Lol! That's why I decided to get weights at home.

Sometimes I use the outer thigh one. Sitting closer to the edge of the seat. It's just something extra. Bret Contreras recommends it in his book Strong Curves. In addition to a well rounded strength training program. Can be helpful in recovery from an injury. I don't do it anymore because I have weights at home. But, if I…

:heart:

I used to think and speak very negatively about myself. But, a friend did an intervention. She sort of gave me lessons and instructions on not doing that, taking compliments, and compiling a list of positives to counteract it. I'm lucky to have had some good friends. But, actually I realize that you have to see yourself as…

I'm probably not going to be in the thread anymore. I'm back to a lot of dancing. And I need to spend more time on fitness. Plus cleaning and kids. And social life. I don't have time for the internet. But, it was nice chatting for a little while (I was in recovery from medical issues), and meeting everyone. Take care!…

Thank you. I'm sorry for misunderstanding.

Usually in real life I get lots of compliments on my big green eyes, smile, dimples, body, especially my waist from people that dance with me, my dancing. So, that helps. But, a girl on mfp said I am gross, old, and creepy. I definitely like real life much better than the internet. And real life people can actually see me.…

I guess I should be here with all the other creepy sex freaks. I will go make a bra out of glow in the dark liquid latex. Also I am taking on new clients as a sex therapist. I'm a dancer, so let's make it dance sex therapy.

Mfp is full of the prudes. Edit to add: I mean prudettes.

I just let them approach me. I smile. And I would never meet people online and bypass the natural process of real life attraction.

I agree. Dogs are wonderful. For some reason my younger daughter developed a fear of dogs when we were walking, and a very big dog licked her while she was in the stroller. It just scared her so much because the dog was so big. Sometimes she manages to get past it. And then it comes back. She's afraid the dogs will lick…

Yeah, it's good to go slow and careful to not flare up symptoms too much. Don't want to overwhelm your body. The Liberte Effervescent Kefir is as good as homemade.

Oh, I hope it helps. Go slow. And listen to your body.

Mmm. Yummy options!

A good supplementary fiber is acacia or larch tree. And lots of veggies and fruit as already mentioned. I like: collard greens, kale, chard, carrots, red carrots, butternut squash, broccoli, parsnips, red cabbage, zucchini, other squash, turnips, scallions. And blueberries, oranges, banana. Or many other vegetables and…

I also steam them with my other veggies. And put olive oil and a little black pepper.
