How do you kill period pain once and for all? Or kill periods for that matter?

[emilie-catnight-deactivated2019]

birth control can help. Getting a hysterectomy would deal with it completely forever but a lot of doctors will refuse to perform one for someone young and childless in case you change your mind about having kids. I assume someone did and sued their doctor and ruined it for the rest of us.

[hikolu]

PONSTAN! or whatever painkiller you can find with Mefenamic Acid. It’s one specifically for period pain and good lord does it work! If Ponstan doesn’t kick it in the butt, then see your doctor, cause that isn’t good.

[sevenbillionreplicants]

Well for now to get Ponstan Forte, I’d need a doctor’s prescription so I’d need to go see one anyway :p I doubt that the authorities would appreciate me ordering it online. I’m pretty sure that’d be illegal.

Ugh just gotta go see a doctor.

But thanks!

[hikolu]

Oh wow, didn’t realise you needed a prescription for it in other countries. It’s over the counter here in NZ and I’m pretty sure it is in Australia too. Though I don’t know what country you’re in so that probably doesn’t count. I hope you find a solution!

[meowingwool]

FYI: for the UK it’s prescription only as well

[hazelnorthpeak]

All the flower crowns I could get! I’m just missing New Hillcrest and Pandoria because I haven’t unlocked them yet

[meowingwool]

So wish we could gift people stuff as I would so make loads of flower crowns for people who can't access certain areas yet

[bellalionbaker]

Soo, I haven’t seen anyone else mention this but SSO just posted this on their instagram. 

This is clearly a part of the map none of us have ever seen before! It shows an area beyond Golden Hills. Guys, why are we sleeping on this?

[caitlin-eaglestorm-deactivated2]

I just thought it looked pretty cool! I didn’t realize that there could be new areas shown!

PLUS: they added new places on the places list in the game (next to the map)

[meowingwool]

Seems like the only road to the headquarters is accessable from a different area though...

[ssorei]

i love the idea of the pandorian environment causing scars to humans that interact with the flora/fauna so here’s a personal hc of my character with a scar she got from her time in pandoria (feat a sweater that i own irl!)

[jorvik-gazette-archive]

AAaaaand now i wanna create same for my character 

[meowingwool]

My characters would be on the forehead! (Like mine!)

[meowingwool]

One thing I like about my country is that black cats are good luck so there are loads of them about and shelters don't have to worry about black cats being adopted around Halloween (not that it's a big holiday - fireworks night is much bigger here)

[finchwingart]

How much was your uni ? And what did you mean by you were first on instagram? Sincerely the kid who wants to escape the U.S

It’s like £9k a year but you get it paid by the government. You pay it back over the course of your life but only if you earn I think £25k a year and it expires after 30 years

I got a First which means first class degree, highest one basically ajdhdbd it goes 1st, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 3rd, fail

[meowingwool]

Add-on the international rates are higher and you can't get any kind of loans from the UK government to pay for maintenance/the tuition unlike domestic/EU students.

Tuition max fee is now £9.25k

The fee to start paying back is now £25k per year and is wiped after 30 years (for domestic students)

Didn't know there was a third class second class degree.

Finch's uni (incase they don't want peeps knowing publicly) is a really good arts university in the UK (I grew up close that town).

[trinecomics]

My ibs has caused so much anxiety lately. I can't even wear jumpsuits/rompers anymore or dresses or white pants or cute underwear... :( Btw am I the only one that becomes very painfully bloated when wearing high waist stuff ??

If you have trouble with small accidents, maybe you should look into what medicine you are taking, since for me that’s a side effect of a medication I have. You can also try wearing pads on days your bowels feel kinda sensitive, in case an accident happens, but be weary since liners and pads can irritate your skin. 

My stomach also gets really agitated when I wear anything tight around the tummy, like a belt or a tight band in-bedded in the clothes. I’m a lot better now so I do wear stuff like that sometimes though. I actually wear high-waisted clothing a majority of the time, but I stick to stretchy clothes that aren’t tight on that area, so it doesn’t hurt me and give me cramps. Maybe stick to stretchy yoga jeans, or cotton leggings. Shorts are great too, just stay away from tight materiel and bands. Also, instead of wearing tights that get really restrictive on the tummy, try wearing stay up thigh-highs, so the band is on the legs instead.

[meowingwool]

That is actually a really good idea re the tights - I can have that problem with high waisted jeans as well as I'm mostly gassy nowadays

MR BEAN SHOULD NoT TRANSLATE TO “mY WIFE”

[meowingwool]

if anyone is wondering ‘Mr. Bean’ would translate to ‘Sinjoro Fabo’ if google was sane.

[atern-deactivated20180505]

I honestly believe the whole “adults require less sleep” thing is honest to god probably a myth created by capitalism

[mikkeneko]

It is.

i honestly believe that sleep deprivation is the biggest ignored/neglected root cause of health dangers that prematurely kill adults

ask me sometime about the role of sleep in the leptin ghrelin cycle and how its interruption destabilizes weight homeostasis

or about the new research showing that heart disease is not caused by fat, like we thought for years, but by inflammation in the circulatory system whose root cause is unknown but one of the prime suspects is, you guessed it, sleep deprivation

but nobody wants to hear that lack of sleep is killing people. employers don’t want to hear it. and god knows that having sold their waking hours to capitalism to survive workers don’t want to lose the only time they have left to them to live their lives, mostly stolen from sleep

i mean even i don’t want to do anything about it and i love  sleep, i just love overwatch more

[curlicuecal]

this this this this this

our society places almost zero value on sleep

on enough sleep

on uninterrupted sleep

on regular, predictable, cycling sleep

all the evidence we have suggests sleep is really, really, really important to the processes of the human body, including both mental and physical health, and yet when was the last time you heard somebody suggest that people had a *right* to sufficient, regular sleep?

[elodieunderglass]

Two hundred years ago.

That is, the famous slogan that led to the eight-hour workday was coined by Robert Owen somewhere around 1817:

“Eight hours of work, eight hours of rest, eight hours to do what we will.”

[meowingwool]

I sleep on average 9 hours a day - Im still knackered....

[finchwingart]

when I’m feeling glum I like sushi in my tum I eat until I balloon then you can bounce me to the moon

Doctors Are Now Saying That Menstrual Cramps Can Be as Painful as Having a Heart Attack

Finally people are starting to listen to what women have been saying all along.

And in other news, water is wet

[onlyblackgirl]

Not like women have been telling y'all this since the beginning of time or anything.

[frenchswissborder]

I mean, yeah, at one point three years ago I was curled up in a fetal position literally screaming/crying/gasping for breath on my bed in my dorm room, so my response to this headline is basically, “No shit.”

[phiralovesloki]

No wonder women are so likely to ignore heart disease/attack symptoms. If something isn’t as bad as my cramps, I figure it can’t be that bad.

[akiameokami]

THAT LAST COMMENT

[thatsyawholethanghuh-deactivate]

!!!!!

[blackmagecat]

No seriously. There aren’t enough people who understand how important that last comment is. I lost my right kidney four years ago because of “if something isn’t as bad as my cramps, I figure it can’t be that bad.”

My. Fucking. Kidney.

Don’t force people with periods to internalize and silence themselves when they have cramps!

[kyidyl]

Can confirm “can’t be that bad because period”.  I had a kidney stone and it took me like 2-3 days to realize it wasn’t my period because it basically felt like that.  Pain is normal for women (and other people with a uterus), it’s part of being a woman, and so we’re much less likely to know when the pain we’re having is bad because we deal with so much of it some much more often than men do.  Pain is not always a “something is wrong” indicator for us.  

[flyonthewallmedstudent]

jesus. I never thought of it that way.

[homotology]

Every woman rebloging this

[thewormwood]

I measure all pain by the cramp standard. Thus far the only thing worse has been a broken nose.

[beaniebaneenie]

I waited almost 10 hours to go to the hospital once, because I thought it was a “bad vramp day”. I had *6* simultaneous kidney stones. 4 on the left, 2 on the right. The flabbergasted doctor asked me why I wasn’t screaming in pain. I shrugged. “I’m kinda used to it, I guess?”

“I’m sorry?”

“Yeah, I mean, I’m in pain for 3 weeks every month. And like, I figured this was a bad day, but really, I kinda feel like this for a couple days every month anyway?”

The way he was looking at me clued me in that this was not something he had ever considered or thought about.

Think about that the next time you want to make fun of someone for being “cranky” on their period. (Also remember that not everyone who gets periods is a girl/woman!)

[meowingwool]

Cramps are my standard for pain as well (IBS though not period, I don’t have it too bad), breaking a bone was around half as painful. Because I could controlled when it hurt (not walking = no pain) while with IBS, it’s either sleep and liquids only are what lessen the pain so I can walk upright,

[dorianwolfforest]

SOOOOOO

i just did some VERY basic “research” and it turns out, our characters are like  146 cm. That’s  4 feet 7 inches according to google. No wonder everything is so fucking big in this game.

[dorianwolfforest]

the highest our horse can jump is  248 cm. That’s two and a half meters. what the fuck

[mirandashadowborn]

Ok but then the doors are like 9’ high???

[ameliadarkhaven]

Is that not a normal door size where you live? o.o Then again I do live in a late Victorian style house lol

I think it’s kinda cute that the reincarnation of a powerful goddess is under five feet tall.

And as far as jumping goes I have to say I prefer unrealistically high jumps, purely cause it’s more fun…

When it comes to some environment objects like trees and mushrooms being oversized, I think it’s because 1. It’s a fantasy world so hey, artistic liberty 2. It looks cool 3. From horseback with the default camera angle it would be too hard to see some objects at more realistic sizes

[meowingwool]

Most doors are 6'6" here and Victorian style here means under 5' because everyone was a lot shorter back then.

Jorvegian Myths: Quadruple Goddess

Of all the influences on the storytelling and worldbuilding in SSO, I think the strongest is Celtic, closely followed by Norse. And the central magical entity of the game, Aideen, is a testament to that. None the least because she’s already a Celtic goddess.

Keep reading

[meowingwool]

Also the spy master wears a pendant with the triskele on it. (Celtic symbol representing life, death and the circle of life)

I'm not surprised about Nordic influences as that is the mythology of where the team is based.

victoria secrets: pls.. millennials .. please buy bras.. pls. overpriced bras please buy. 70 dollars for 1 bra. pls give for bra. millennials are killing the bra industry. we are dying pls. me picking up a 6 pack of bralettes for $5 from a grocery store:

[healturn]

[grumpytrans]

[meowingwool]

Also VS bullshit their sizing...I would likely be put into 34 DD there. 34" is as loose as a casual t-shirt for me and the cups would be like boob hats... Yay for comexim in Poland that will make my size for me (and is around £20 for a custom bra which isn't too bad)

[ithelpstodream]

[jehovahhthickness]

You can’t be serious… that shit is soooooo unsafe for the patient and taxing on nurse 😩

[diaryofaprettycurse-deactivated]

As a nursing major this hurts me. It’s already hard enough taking care of someone who cannot take care of themselves but NOW we don’t have the materials needed to administer care. This pisses me off 😒

[jadorexjaii]

Man what the fuck

[tanaje]

He’s telling the truth, I currently work at a hospital and there is a nationwide shortage of IV fluid bags. So bad that they’re referring to alternative methods like medications that can be administered orally or like the post above. Smh

[sauvamente]

Not to mention the shortage of antibiotics

[thememacat]

WTF??

[beachgirlnikita]

Some 40% of drugs and supplies used in the US were manufactured in PR. Drug shortages were predicted after the hurricane and now they are starting to happen.  Since PR doesn’t seem to be considered to be part of the US by this administration, help to fix it has been short and late in coming, which means that drug shortages will only get worse.

Are we great yet?

[disasterlarper]

in the children’s hospital i was rotating at we weren’t changing central line tubing (lines that go.. directly to your heart, as in, not something you want infected) for six days instead of 3 due to shortages

[the-real-seebs]

what the fuck

this is sort of horrifying

[butts-bouncing-on-the-beltway]

More than half of my clients have had to have their entire medication regimens reworked. Medication regimens that they had been stable and supported on for months or years. Medication regimens that had helped them steadily improve and progress in their lives had to be thrown out the window and completely started over by trial and error again because their medications are no longer available.

People are dying in Puerto Rico and people are going to die on the continental US as well.

[lacommunarde]

Merck’s main manufacturing facility is in PR, if you want a name.

[bobcatmoran]

The FDA actually put out a press release on this today. Apparently it’s not just the IV bags, but the fluids as well that are in short supply. There’s a (worryingly long) list of drugs and related paraphenelia experiencing shortages [here].

[knittinggothgirl-deactivated201]

Press release was 1/5/2018

[meowingwool]

Thank fuck I don't live the American 'dream'.
