Up front: I am not a doctor.

Seriously, seek a second opinion, and if you are a woman, and it sounds like the original doctor is a man, find a woman doctor. I know this sounds sexist, and I’m honestly not trying to be, but it has been shown many times how male doctors tend to overlook or not listen to female patients. You must advocate for yourself.

Anecdotally, my spouse has had this happen numerous times. And it is extremely frustrating every time because it’s effectively a waste of time and money. And, something could be seriously wrong (not saying anything actually is), so you should make very certain at minimum that certain testing is done such as various tests from blood work and/or urine testing.

What a weird way to open a post.

Yes it’s all propaganda.

One set of propaganda is based on lies.

The other set is based on emotion.

I don’t buy into lies like so many people seem to.

While I also won’t buy into emotion, since I try to use logic and reason as much as possible, I will support those who don’t have a campaign built upon lies, deceit, and felonies.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

If you don’t think it will end well having a preemptive conversation, then something else is wrong with your relationship to your parents.

You are an adult. You set the boundaries.

I forgot about that.

Which can be a virtual number, yes? So, Google Voice?

I’m confused, why hasn’t Signal been suggested? Pretty sure it works just fine with WiFi only.

I just stopped caring. Why should it matter if people like me? Life is a very short, fleeting construct. Wasting time worrying about what some other human thinks of me makes literally no difference in the grand cosmos. I’d rather put my energy toward something interesting.

My mom is. That’s about it. My grandparents are all passed now, but they were mostly either racist, or highly opinionated with little regard for evidence.

Literally no one alive can tell you because there is no sensory input when you’re dead. Hence the being dead part.

But if you want to try to imagine what it will be like, the commenter who stated imagining what it was like pre-conception/birth…that’s about as accurate as is possible to describe.

I anticipate nothingness — and I’m reminded of what Mark Twain said about fearing death.

Yes. The last six months of my life (time, stress, and thousands of dollars) taking in two wildly ungrateful and disrespectful people after they were evicted from their apartment. Well they’re now being removed from yet another place (my house) at the end of the month, willingly, or by escort from the sheriff.

Never again.

All I remember is “Checkin’ da email…”

I think the world would be in a better place if people stopped believing in fairy tales. This includes religion, Santa Claus, and every other useless nonsense.

Religion, specifically, set the world back by 1000-1500 years. Sure would be nice to live in a time when cancer doesn’t run rampant — but nah, let’s let the imaginary fairy grandpa solve everything for centuries.
