2024.05.15 00:06 boopie316 Diagnosed with IDC ER/PR + and HER2- Grade 2 Feel like I'm going INSANE
Recently 42 years old diagnosed with IDC EPR+ and HER2 Negative. Stage 2 in my right breast Non-Amplified. My mind is going crazy not only with the diagnose but from the decisions that I have to make. My original plan was a lumpectomy and radiation. But recently I had a MRI that reveal two spots in my left breast. So I had to get a ultrasound guided biopsy on the left breast to rule out any cancer. One spot came out as a benign tumor and now I have to get a MRI guided biopsy on the other spot this Monday. I was hoping to take the less invasive surgery-lumpectomy because I just want to get this cancer out and didn't want alot of downtime. Well, now my dr says that the right breast mass is bigger than expect and now she can't save my nipple and recommends a single mastectomy. I wasn't expecting this at all!
Sigh...I went to the plastic surgeon for consultation and of course he recommends expanders than implants because I have to get radiation and my breasts are an A cup so not much tissue. I haven't got a second opinion from another breast specialist because everywhere I go, I'm told that I'm going to the best doctor for breast cancer. Now rethinking getting a second opinion? But is it too late?
I was hoping that I don't have to lose a breast but I may be facing that situation.
As of right now, neither lymph nodes on either side seems not to be involved. Dr still hasn't took chemo off the table because I hadn't had surgery yet to test the onocotype. I know that I will be on Tamoxifen for 5 to 10 years after treatment.
This whole cancer dx and situation is driving me insane! I was hoping not to have a major surgery because when I was younger I had scoliosis and had to have major surgery. It pretty much traumatized me. So I'm terrified on having surgery again especially if I have to lose one or two breasts! I truly was hoping to get a lumpectomy instead for an easier recovery and get radiation behind me while my son is out for the summer. I'm blessed to have a supportive husband and family. But I don't think they truly understand the stress I'm going through.
Any guidance, helpful hints, encouragement will be much appreciated. Anyone who had a lumpectomy and lost a nipple? How did you make your decision on which route to take? Anyone who went flat on one breast and kept the healthy breast? Anyone who had bilateral mastectomy and went flat? Or had tissue expanders above the muscle with radiation, then implants later?? Any response will ease my mind.
Sorry for the long post-

2024.05.14 23:58 No-Possibility8114 Friend self-diagnosed her child with ADHD
Hi all,
First things first; this is my first post so I apologize if this isn’t perfect. Also, throw away account because friend uses Reddit. Lastly, I am not a medical professional and I do not mean to be disrespectful in this area at all. I am open to learning and only want advice on what to say to said friend or direct her in the right direction.
Okay to begin. I have known my friend(23F) since senior year of high school. We can call her Tiffany. Her and I both have two children and are both similar in age. Her first daughter is the child I am referring to in this post(she turns 2 in September).
To make a long story short, my friend basically self diagnosed her daughter with ADHD because it’s what her husband was allegedly diagnosed with. Most recently, while we were preparing for an event, Tiffany had mentioned this in front of myself and my MIL saying something like “-because (insert child’s name) has ADHD-“. I relayed this situation to my MIL in the past and once she heard it for herself, my MIL decided to voice her opinion. She asked Tiffany questions like “how do you know she has ADHD?” and “was this diagnosed by a doctor?”. Tiffany just responds with “she gets it from her dad”. For as long as I have known Tiffany, she often try’s to stand out by focusing on the unusual aspects of her life and family. If you know what I mean.. When she was asked by my MIL if her daughter was diagnosed by a doctor, she responded “well doctors don’t typically diagnose girls at a young age with ADHD”. My MIL cut her off and then asked “then how do you know she has ADHD??” Tiffany states her daughter can’t sit in front of a TV or pay attention to a task for more than 10 seconds. I think to myself “maybe because she’s not even two years old yet???”. Almost every time Tiffany and I hang out, she mentions her daughter has ADHD and it feels wrong.
For more context, Tiffany’s daughter seems to be developing in the right areas. The only thing I notice and her mother mentioned to me is that she doesn’t speak much or really doesn’t make a lot of noise(such as typical 18 month sounds). Which I understand that every child develops at their own pace. Tiffany stated a few months ago that the daughter can say about 3-4 words. They are teaching her sign language but the most I have seen this child do is point and stare at her parents if she wants something like more food or a toy. I have had this child at my home for an entire day and did not hear her utter one word.
Maybe I am in the wrong and need to mind my own business but I also want to help my friend because I don’t think it’s not fair for her to implant these things in her child’s mind so young when no testings have been conducted. Maybe my friend is right and because her father was diagnosed with ADHD, her young daughter has as well. I just don’t know how she can assume this without it actually being diagnosed.
Any advice on what I should do would be great. A part of me thinks I should mind my own business and another part wants to give her advice but I don’t know what to say. I want to be clear that I do not believe I am good at giving advice. I have been told that I can be too blunt and it may come off wrong or hurt people’s feelings. I definitely don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings and genuinely want to help but I just don’t know what to say.

2024.05.14 22:16 redCappella My experience with Opill / norgestrel, the new POP available OTC in the US
I recently switched from norethindrone to norgestrel about a month and a half ago and I'm very happy with it so far! Opill is the first birth control available in the US without a prescription. It has been available since January and I was very excited to try it.
I take bc to control my mood and period symptoms and unfortunately norethindrone was the only pill available in the US that didn't have horrible side effects for me. It also didn't do a great job of managing my mood or stop my period but was better than nothing. I also tried the depo shot but I'm too scared to get any implants like IUDs or nexplanon. (not out of safety concern, just the personal ick factor)
My mood on norgestrel (brand is Opill) has been really good - better than it was on norethindrone. It hasn't been long enough to say if it controls my periods but so far have not had a drop of blood or any sign of cramps.
I'll update this post once I know if the mood effects are consistent and how it affects my skin and weight and stuff like that. I've been on progestin-only bc for a really long time at this point so I can't speak to switching to it from anything other than another POP. The switch from norethindrone was seamless for me. Keep in mind that I personally tolerate POPs really well - you might be different.

2024.05.14 21:46 moodykitty27 29/F desperately seeking advice after ALL-ON 4 implants. PLEASE HELP :(
I'm going to try to keep this short, but also give enough information for analysis and advice. Feb. 20, 2024 I underwent the All-on-4 procedure for my top arch. I'm a 29-year-old female battling with chronic illness my entire life. That, paired with other factors, has caused massive tooth decay in my mouth starting very early. I have some fears regarding dental work related to a bad experience having my wisdom teeth & "12 y/o molars" being removed at 15. But I got over it and sought the treatment. Open and willing to do whatever was needed to get my smile back and be able to eat normally. I've lost over 30 pounds in the last year, and I'm basically malnourished at this point.
I went to an implant clinic local to me and financed a 20k loan for just my top arch. Thats all I can afford right now. This whole experience has been SO traumatic for me.
From being fully awake through the whole process, after I was promised that between the night before meds and morning anxiety medication along with nitrous that I would be totally out. The meds were never called into the pharmacy. I was told me they would only be available the night before for pick up. When they weren't found at any pharmacy in town , I called and their office was closed already. Nobody answered the after-hours line. So I just had to show up at 7am for my procedure without having taken them. I let them know and they told me that the nitrous should still knock me out. Which i believed to be true, past dental work with it would have me knocked out!
But I sobbed and cried and prayed for almost 6 hours while they extracted 14 teeth, it wasn't quick or easy at all, then they placed my implants. 5 of them.
All of my care has been from different providers at the same office. The dentist who I was told would be taking care of my entire process did my numbing shots then left. Someone I didn't know took over. I've never seen her in the office since that day. This has happened almost every follow up.
My pain for the first month was truly unbearable. I work 45 hours a week and they promised me I would be totally fine to work. I wasn't. I did still work without missing a single day, but that was by the grace and strength of God. Also, the demand of my huge loan payment monthly. The gum pain, nerve pain, constant intense throbbing finally subsided less than a month ago. I still get a lot of throbbing at my implant sites, but I continue to hope it's just the osseointegration that I'm feeling.
I went in weekly describing my pain and concerns and was ignored and told 'its normal". They refused to do any scans, check my stitches that never dissolved, I had to nicely demand the remove them after about a month in half because they were all untied and hanging out of my temp but also lodged underneath it.
I have almost ZERO ability to clean in between the acrylic temp and my gums. One side has space the other is smashed into my gums. Totally uneven. It even feels completely unbalanced in my mouth and moves and makes loud clicking noises. I've timed the amount of time I am cleaning and water flossing in a single day and it typically is about an hour total. Yet my mouth tastes terrible all the time. I can feel food lodged between that I'm not able to get out. I've told the dentist this every single time and I'm ignored.
I have so many questions and concerns regarding this whole experience, but most importantly is this:
Next week I start getting fitted for my permanent teeth. I feel so insecure in my knowledge of how this is supposed to look, fit, and feel. I dont know how to properly advocate for myself and care. I always trust the experts. I'm not a dentist, they are. But I dont trust mine. He has mislead me on many things, gets angry if I say i don't want or like something. For example my current and only temp just simply doesn't fit. It looks ridiculous. I'm not the only person wo has expressed this. My entire family has said the same things. But he refused to even discuss a differnt temp that I have had to wear for months. I explained it not even the aesthetic that I can't deal with its the fit and feel. He was clearly annoyed and told me he's not making another. Mind you he prints these in office with a 3d printer. When I had something almost pertruding through my gums in the front of an implant site he wouldn't do a scan. They finally agreed to do it at my next appointment, only because it's time anyway since this would be my first scheduled "pre op" appointment. If I hadn't been there by request weekly the first two months this would've been the only time I was seen or checked in this whole process.
My screws have fallen out and been replaced. Each time this happened I asked if they would please just check underneath for trapped food and I was told No every time. With no explanation. Is this normal?!!? I truly don't know. But it doesn't feel normal or right. I paid 20k for this. I feel like I've been scammed in way.
If anyone at all could give me ANY info or advice I would be so grateful. I can elaborate more on anything needed I just don't want to ramble and complain. I just wanted my smile back and the ability to eat. Im down to 94 pounds. Eating is barely possible. They didn't tell me anything about my diet restrictions until after the implants were in. I totally get why it would be soft foods only, but I don't understand why they wouldn't tell me things like this at my consult. It's one of the many things that I feel was ignored and left out when discussing this treatment option for me.
One final thing. While adjusting my bite one day he was filing down the implants in the back. I must note that my bottom teeth aren't in great condition but I'm taking great care of them until I can afford to have them done as well. Without any warning the dentist started filing down MY natural bottom teeth. Not just a little, noticeably even to the eye. I made many noises and waved my hands trying to get him to stop. He continued until I got loud and was pulling my head away. He removed he his hands from my mouth clearly annoyed with me. I asked "are you filing my bottom teeth?!?!' His response- "they're bad anyway". He knows that i can't afford to fix them right now. We discussed this many times. Needless to say, I left in a complete panic attack. Why was that necessary?? Or even an option to him. I now understand dental work and standards are different all over the world. I had zero issues with the ethnicity of who provided my care. But after further research I've seen many things about dental work in India and how brutal it can be. I'm truly don't mean this in a bad way. It's just what I've read in my many hours of research on the topic.
Dentists, assistants, anyone with knowledge or experience. PLEASE any info would be so helpful to me.
Please and thank you again. Sorry for the long post. This truly is the abridged version of this story sadly. I'm just read for this to be over. But I just need the results to be worth the 20k and the trauma.

My screws have fallen out and been replaced. Each time this happened I asked if they would please just check underneath for trapped food and I was told No every time. With no explanation. Is this normal?!!? I truly don't know. But it doesn't feel normal or right. I paid 20k for this. I feel like I've been scammed in way.
If anyone at all could give me ANY info or advice I would be so grateful. I can elaborate more on anything needed I just don't want to ramble and complain. I just wanted my smile back and the ability to eat. Im down to 94 pounds. Eating is barely possible. They didn't tell me anything about my diet restrictions until after the implants were in. I totally get why it would be soft foods only, but I don't understand why they wouldn't tell me things like this at my consult. It's one of the many things that I feel was ignored and left out when discussing this treatment option for me.
One final thing. While adjusting my bite one day he was filing down the implants in the back. I must note that my bottom teeth aren't in great condition but I'm taking great care of them until I can afford to have them done as well. Without any warning the dentist starting filling down MY natural bottom teeth. Not just a little, noticiably even to they eye. I made many noises and waved my hands trying to get him to stop. He continued until I got loud and was pulling my head away. He removed he his hands from my mouth clearly annoyed with me. I asked "are you filing my bottom teeth?!?!' His response- "they're bad anyway". He knows that i can't afford to fix them right now. We discussed this many times. Needless to say, I left in a complete panic attack. Why was that necessary?? Or even an option to him. I now understand dental work and standards are different all over the world. I had zero issues with the ethnicity of who provided my care. But after further research I've seen many things about dental work in India and how brutal it can be. I'm truly don't mean this in a bad way. It's just what I've read in my many hours of research on the topic.
Dentists, assistants, anyone with knowledge or experience. PLEASE any info would be so helpful to me.
Please and thank you again. Sorry for the long post. This truly is the abridged version of this story sadly. I'm just read for this to be over. But I just need the results to be worth the 20k and the trauma.

I went to an implant clinic local to me and financed a 20k loan for just my top arch. Thats all I can afford right now. This whole experience has been SO traumatic for me.
From being fully awake through the whole process, after I was promised that between the night before meds and morning anxiety medication along with nitrous that I would be totally out. The meds were never called into the pharmacy. I was told me they would only be available the night before for pick up. When they weren't found at any pharmacy in town , I called and their office was closed already. Nobody answered the after-hours line. So I just had to show up at 7am for my procedure without having taken them. I let them know and they told me that the nitrous should still knock me out. Which i believed to be true, past dental work with it would have me knocked out!
But I sobbed and cried and prayed for almost 6 hours while they extracted 14 teeth, it wasn't quick or easy at all, then they placed my implants. 5 of them.
All of my care has been from different providers at the same office. The dentist who I was told would be taking care of my entire process did my numbing shots then left. Someone I didn't know took over. I've never seen her in the office since that day. This has happened almost every follow up.
My pain for the first month was truly unbearable. I work 45 hours a week and they promised me I would be totally fine to work. I wasn't. I did still work without missing a single day, but that was by the grace and strength of God. Also, the demand of my huge loan payment monthy. The gum pain, nerve pain, constant intense throbbing finally subsided less than a month ago. I still get a lot of throbbing at my implant sites, but I continue to hope it's just the osseointegration that I'm feeling.
I went in weekly describing my pain and concerns and was ignored and told 'its normal". They refused to do any scans, check my stitches that never dissolved, I had to nicely demand the remove them after about a month in half because they were all untied and hanging out of my temp but also lodged underneath it.
I have almost ZERO ability to clean in between the acrylic temp and my gums. One side has space the other is smashed into my gums. Totally uneven. It even feels completely unbalanced in my mouth and moves and makes loud clicking noises. I've timed the amount of time I am cleaning and water flossing in a single day and it typically is about an hour total. Yet my mouth tastes terrible all the time. I can feel food lodged between that I'm not able to get out. I've told the dentist this every single time and I'm ignored.
I have so many questions and concerns regarding this whole experience, but most importantly is this:
Next week I start gettting fitted for my permanent teeth. I feel so insecure in my knowledge of how this is supposed to look, fit, and feel. I dont know how to properly advocate for myself and care. I always trust the experts. I'm not a dentist, they are. But I dont trust mine. He has mislead me on many things, gets angry if I say i don't want or like something. For example my current and only temp just simply doesn't fit. It looks ridiculous. I'm not the only person wo has expressed this. My entire family has said the same things. But he refused to even discuss a differnt temp that I have had to wear for months. I explained it not even the aesthetic that I can't deal with its the fit and feel. He was clearly annoyed and told me he's not making another. Mind you he prints these in office with a 3d printer. When I had something almost pertruding through my gums in the front of an implant site he wouldn't do a scan. They finally agreed to do it at my next appointment, only because it's time anyway since this would be my first scheduled "pre op" appointment. If I hadn't been there by request weekly the first two months this would've been the only time I was seen or checked in this whole process.

2024.05.14 21:36 moodykitty27 All-on-4 dental implant nightmare. Please HELP. 29/F needing any answers/advice desperately.
I'm going to try to keep this short, but also give enough information for analysis and advice. Feb. 20, 2024 I underwent the All-on-4 procedure for my top arch. I'm a 29-year-old female battling with chronic illness my entire life. That, paired with other factors, has caused massive tooth decay in my mouth starting very early. I have some fears regarding dental work related to a bad experience having my wisdom teeth & "12 y/o molars" being removed at 15. But I got over it and sought the treatment. Open and willing to do whatever was needed to get my smile back and be able to eat normally. I've lost over 30 pounds in the last year, and I'm basically malnourished at this point.
I went to an implant clinic local to me and financed a 20k loan for just my top arch. Thats all I can afford right now. This whole experience has been SO traumatic for me.

2024.05.14 19:54 Just-Her_Intentions AITA For avoiding my husband's SIL
Okay, so this is going to be a long one. I (31F) have been married to my husband (32M) for 13 years, going on 14 years. We married young. I was 17, and he was 19. (Yes, I know that's crazy young) My husband, i will call him (" hubs " in this post) has 2 brothers. I will refer to his brothers as ( "John" and "zack"). Hubs is the oldest of the three boys. Zack is the second oldest brother (26 M), and John is the youngest brother (24M).
For years, I have had issues with zack. He has continually bullied me in the past. I used to have a lazy eye (I've had surgery to correct it), and he would make fun of it. Asking me which eye i was looking at him with. I have 3 kids, and before I started working again, he made a recommendation to me while having him as a guest at my home.. the recommendation was that I get up and give my chair to my husband so he can sit and relax because he "actually works." As a teen ( he was 17ish), he shoulder checked me (HARD) into a brick wall while I was pregnant with my second daughter. When I was pregnant with my oldest, I lived with my in-laws for a while, and he would make up lies about me to "get his way" with his parents. Stupid lies. Like I was hogging the TV remote, or I was being "mean" to him. Because he is their child and they did not know me well, of course they believed him. Since then, it's been non-stop little things. And jokes that are very distasteful and inappropriate. (No im not a karen these jokes were concerning sex or race and he would say them around my young children) (they are no longer allowed around zack without me or hubs present due to this issue) These things continued to happen up till about 3 or 4 years ago.
My husband's family has regular family gatherings. For every holiday, and in-between the holidays birthdays. For YEARS, I have continued to go despite me being uncomfortable. I respect Hubs mom and grandmother a lot. I also have a good relationship with them. So, to keep the peace, I just dealt with it. That is until my 30th birthday. I then decided that I wouldn't sacrifice my peace on every holiday ect to make someone else happy. So I told my husband's mom that I would only be attending 1 or 2 a year because I no longer wanted to be put in uncomfortable situations.
Zack found out about this. I'm assuming his parents told him. He called and apologized to me. Altho I do forgive him. I don't trust him. So I still don't go much. (Also, zack had been a lot better... untill now)
Rewind a bit..
Now to the SIL Zack got married a few years ago. We will call his now wife "jan" (24F). Jan is 3 months older than the youngest brother John. Despite my distaste for zack, I have tried to keep the peace with Hubs' family. I didn't want to be the cause of family issues. So when I found out about Jan, I had her and zack over. The first time I met Jan, she "scoffed" at me. I joke around with hubs a lot. I call him "baby daddy." We were standing in my kitchen, and I said, "Hey baby, Daddy, can you hand me my drink?" she looks over and scoffs and rolls her eyes at me. Again.. this is our first meeting and we are in MY house. As time passes, she does this quite often. A few years ago, I got breast augmentation, and I was honest about it. I didn't hide it. After three kids and breastfeeding, I wanted to love my body again, and I felt I needed to normalize things like this. (Also, I didn't get them huge.. not that it would matter if I did but for context in 5'4 145 lbs my bottom half is "thicker" so dr said larger implants would "even me out" i got DD's and they do look Portionate) Well I was passing zack and Jan at hubs grandmother's house I over heard them laughing about it. (I don't remember their exact words) Then after that, I found out from other family members that she was going around talking bad about me and my augmentation behind my back.
After that happened, my children went to my mother in laws house. ( zack and Jan moved next door to them), and Jan went to MIL house with her four-wheeler. Then Jan and FIL let my (at the time 11 year old) son get on without an adult with no prior experience and without our knowledge and with no gear. He drove it around the property. I found out about this, and hubs spoke to his parents and let them know that we were not comfortable with that. I called Jan and politely told her that we don't like him on things like that by himself. (My hubs best friend died on something similar when he was 15) and asked that the next time she would call to ask, and maybe we could at least get protective gear for it. She snapped at me and wouldn't let me finish my statement, and with an attitude said "okay I get it, you're the parent," and hung up.
Following this there was also a family wedding that she was very rude at. John got married to a lovely and sweet girl. I will call her lisa. Mine and jans kids were both hin johns and lisas' wedding. So we were in the room with lisa and the bridesmaids. Jan was so rude that the bridesmaids in the wedding noticed. However, Im really close to John and really do see him as my brother. So I kept my mouth shut and held it together because I didn't want to start anything on his wedding day.
Fast forward to now
We recently had a family get-together. I don't go often, as i stated above. But I haven't seen the family in a while (and I am really close to them) so I decided to go. Zack was working, so he wasn't there, but Jan and her two kids were. Lisa and I talked for a while (we are close and get along great!) then I talked to the rest of the family a bit. Jan walked past me and said hi, so to keep things cordial, I smiled andnsaid hi. But that's all I said to her while I was there. When I left, I hugged everyone goodbye (not jan).
A while later, I got a phone call from another family member saying that zack called them ranting about how jan told him i was mean to her. How I didn't hug her goodbye and accusing me of trying to "steal lisa." (Like you can steal a human being 🤦🏻♀️) Then zack told this family member that if I continued, he was going to go back to his "old ways."
I'm taken aback by this. I do not want a relationship with zack or Jan because I don't think they are good people. (My husband doesn't either. We have both made that clear)(I just asked my husband to keep the peace for his mom and grandmothers sake) They have both been constant drama and just distasteful. Zack had gotten better, but now this... and still... Why would I want a relationship with them. Or go out of my way to physically hug someone who is hateful to me? Also, i don't even go to most of the family gatherings. How am I trying to steal the other sister in law? Lisa and I hung out outside of the family because we bonded. I even spoke at their wedding. This was already known information. Why would it be weird that I talk to her? I get that jan may feel left out, but in my opinion, you can't make your bed out of rocks and then be upset that it's not comfortable... why should i once again have to make myself uncomfortable to please her? Or them? Jan claims that she just wants a relationship with me (she didn't tell me this. She told another family member)(and this was the same day she and zack call a different family member to rant about how mean i am), but i think she just likes playing games. Because if she did, she wouldn't treat me the way she continues to. (Also, I'm not the only one who notices the way she has treated me, i believe she is just mad bc i wont be walked on any more) I think she wants to be a victim or wants people to see her that way 🤷🏻♀️ Most of the other family members understand my POV. But some think I should "give her a chance," but i do not understand the logic of jan and zack. And i do not have a desire to have any form of a relationship with them.
AITA For not wanting to involve myself with her and her husband? What do I do? If I don't go to any family functions, I'm letting them control me. So I'm definitely not doing that, but what other options are there?
Also, NOTE- My husband hates zack and Jan. He is on my side with this. Also, sorry for any typos. I wanted a biased opinion on this, and I'm about to have to leave for work, so I typed fast 😅

I respect Hubs mom and grandmother a lot. I also have a good relationship with them. So, to keep the peace, I just dealt with it. That is until my 30th birthday. I then decided that I wouldn't sacrifice my peace on every holiday ect to make someone else happy. So I told my husband's mom that I would only be attending 1 or 2 a year because I no longer wanted to be put in uncomfortable situations.
Zack found out about this. I'm assuming his parents told him. He called and apologized to me. Altho I do forgive him. I don't trust him. So I still don't go much. (Also, zack had been a lot better... untill now)
Rewind a bit..
Now to the SIL Zack got married a few years ago. We will call his now wife "jan" (24F). Jan is 3 months older than the youngest brother John. Despite my distaste for zack, I have tried to keep the peace with Hubs' family. I didn't want to be the cause of family issues. So when I found out about Jan, I had her and zack over. The first time I met Jan, she "scoffed" at me. I joke around with hubs a lot. I call him "baby daddy." We were standing in my kitchen, and I said, "Hey baby, Daddy, can you hand me my drink?" she looks over and scoffs and rolls her eyes at me. Again.. this is our first meeting and we are in MY house. As time passes, she does this quite often. A few years ago, I got breast augmentation, and I was honest about it. I didn't hide it. After three kids and breastfeeding, I wanted to love my body again, and I felt I needed to normalize things like this. (Also, I didn't get them huge.. not that it would matter if I did but for context in 5'4 145 lbs my bottom half is "thicker" so dr said larger implants would "even me out" i got DD's and they do look Portionate) Well I was passing zack and Jan at hubs grandmother's house I over heard them laughing about it. (I don't remember their exact words) Then after that, I found out from other family members that she was going around talking bad about me and my augmentation behind my back.
After that happened, my children went to my mother in laws house. ( zack and Jan moved next door to them), and Jan went to MIL house with her four-wheeler. Then Jan and FIL let my (at the time 11 year old) son get on without an adult with no prior experience and without our knowledge and with no gear. He drove it around the property. I found out about this, and hubs spoke to his parents and let them know that we were not comfortable with that. I called Jan and politely told her that we don't like him on things like that by himself. (My hubs best friend died on something similar when he was 15) and asked that the next time she would call to ask, and maybe we could at least get protective gear for it. She snapped at me and wouldn't let me finish my statement, and with an attitude said "okay I get it, you're the parent," and hung up.
Following this there was also a family wedding that she was very rude at. John got married to a lovely and sweet girl. I will call her lisa. Mine and jans kids were both hin johns and lisas' wedding. So we were in the room with lisa and the bridesmaids. Jan was so rude that the bridesmaids in the wedding noticed. However, Im really close to John and really do see him as my brother. So I kept my mouth shut and held it together because I didn't want to start anything on his wedding day.
Fast forward to now
We recently had a family get-together. I don't go often, as i stated above. But I haven't seen the family in a while (and I am really close to them) so I decided to go. Zack was working, so he wasn't there, but Jan and her two kids were. Lisa and I talked for a while (we are close and get along great!) then I talked to the rest of the family a bit. Jan walked past me and said hi, so to keep things cordial, I smiled andnsaid hi. But that's all I said to her while I was there. When I left, I hugged everyone goodbye (not jan).
A while later, I got a phone call from another family member saying that zack called them ranting about how jan told him i was mean to her. How I didn't hug her goodbye and accusing me of trying to "steal lisa." (Like you can steal a human being 🤦🏻♀️) Then zack told this family member that if I continued, he was going to go back to his "old ways."
I'm taken aback by this. I do not want a relationship with zack or Jan because I don't think they are good people. (My husband doesn't either. We have both made that clear)(I just asked my husband to keep the peace for his mom and grandmothers sake) They have both been constant drama and just distasteful. Zack had gotten better, but now this... and still... Why would I want a relationship with them. Or go out of my way to physically hug someone who is hateful to me? Also, i don't even go to most of the family gatherings. How am I trying to steal the other sister in law? Lisa and I hung out outside of the family because we bonded. I even spoke at their wedding. This was already known information. Why would it be weird that I talk to her? I get that jan may feel left out, but in my opinion, you can't make your bed out of rocks and then be upset that it's not comfortable... why should i once again have to make myself uncomfortable to please her? Or them? Jan claims that she just wants a relationship with me (she didn't tell me this. She told another family member)(and this was the same day she and zack call a different family member to rant about how mean i am), but i think she just likes playing games. Because if she did, she wouldn't treat me the way she continues to. (Also, I'm not the only one who notices the way she has treated me, i believe she is just mad bc i wont be walked on any more) I think she wants to be a victim or wants people to see her that way 🤷🏻♀️ Most of the other family members understand my POV. But some think I should "give her a chance," but i do not understand the logic of jan and zack. And i do not have a desire to have any form of a relationship with them.
AITA For not wanting to involve myself with her and her husband? What do I do? If I don't go to any family functions, I'm letting them control me. So I'm definitely not doing that, but what other options are there?
Also, NOTE- My husband hates zack and Jan. He is on my side with this. Also, sorry for any typos. I wanted a biased opinion on this, and I'm about to have to leave for work, so I typed fast 😅
2024.05.14 19:28 sunnysunflower288 Quitting cannabis and coming to terms with life problems
I am a 35 mom of 2. I have had the same partner for almost 15 years. I suffered from severe body dismorphia since I became a preteen. I avoided relationships because of this until I met my boyfriend of 15 years. When he was able to see the reason for my dismoprhia he told me only he would be able to accept my body because most men wouldn't ( and i believed him because i had already told myself that by the time i was 13). For context I had two very different sized breast's and at 18 I had secretly gotten one of my breast's enlarged to match the other one. Unfortunately the doctor botched me and lost her license and I wasnt allowed to sue because no lawyer would take my case on a botched cosmetic procedure. I still live with the same Implant until this day because I was never able to pay for a new surgery due to living in survival mode with extreme depression. Because of this I allowed my partner to abuse me mentally and sometimes physically. He has cheated on me with about 20 different women since we've been together, I never left. I went on to have to children with him. After having kids I noticed he started abusing Cocaine and bleeding our accounts dry. I feel like cannabis played a massive role in my life giving me the "fuck it" attitude and helped me cope with the abuse. I wanted kids so bad and truly believed no other man would accept me physically. I prepared myself for a life of being cheated on before I even had my first boyfriend due to my body issues. Now at 35 I've opened my eyes and I've had enough. I can no longer live a life of depression and anxiety. I feel like I've been in a prison for far too long. Today is my first day not using cannabis and it's bringing up so many emotions and my anxiety is through the roof. My question is how do I deal with this floodgate of emotions. How will this affect my children. I am a very present mother that puts her kids above everything. I hide my sad and angry emotions from them so all they know is a happy mom. I haven't worked since covid took my job away so I have no sense of self appreciation or love. I don't bother with my appearance anymore since 2020, nothing seems to matter to me besides my kids happiness. Are there any other women in simular situations that have any advice for me? Seeking professional help is not an option as I do not have a lot of money. My partner hardly works and when he does he acts as if the money is his and I am not entitled even though I take care of the house duties and kids. My youngest starts school in September so I will be able to get myself into the workforce again. Now that I'm ready to toss my partne kids father to the curb how do I start to gain my independence again. I don't have any family or friends to support me as I've pushed everyone away to isolate myself from other adults to avoid spilling my guts about my life. My apartment is in my name so I have shelter. Unfortunately my kids father crashed our family car after staying up all night abusing coke so it's been difficult to get around considering our public transportation system is unreliable in my area. Where do I start? How do I cope with this waterfall of emotions I'm feeling now that I've quit using cannbis cold turkey.. what will life be like for me.

2024.05.14 17:29 Professional-Aide89 14 days passed assumed ovulation... but traveling.
 | Hey Guys, submitted by Professional-Aide89 to lineporn [link] [comments] So this is our third month trying. I'm a Canadian, visiting Nicaragua for the month. Generally my cycle is 25-27 days long. When I travel it usually lengthens to about 31-33 days long. (It has happened anytime I go somewhere with a time change of 3.5+/- hours) I am currently on day 30, no period yet but I've been having these strange cramps for the past 4-5 days on and off. I took a test 3 days in a row and there's a faint line each time. As the test sits, it gets darker. But it is very faint... I don't know if it's so faint because it's just super early in the pregnancy or if these tests are just not reliable and the heat is causing an intense evap line. It definitely has a pink tint though. I didn't think I would get pregnant this time around because I thought we missed my ovulation day. When I edited the length of my luteal phase, based on how my mood changes drastically... it appears I may have ovulated a day before had unprotected sex. (May 1st would be what I believe to be the date of conception) I am very regular except when I travel. If I was home I think I'd be certain I was pregnant but I need some second opinions here. Does this sound like a positive? I'm going to try and get blood work done this week but just a little anxious because I'm not familiar with health care in Central America. Has anyone else experienced this delayed period due to travel and then tried to conceive on top of it? Has anyone else experience implantation cramping for 5 days straight during the time period was supposed to happen? I'm not spotting at all. Interested in hearing thoughts/experiences of others especially fellow traveller's. Thanks a lot ❤️ |

2024.05.14 16:31 harrysuze2021 Nexplanon Insertion: What to Expect and How to Prepare
 | Are you considering Nexplanon as a birth control option? This small but mighty device offers long-term protection against pregnancy, and its insertion process is more straightforward than you might think. Let's dive into what you can expect during the Nexplanon insertion process, how to prepare for it, and how it compares to other options like the IUD. submitted by harrysuze2021 to u/harrysuze2021 [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/ps0znfgtje0d1.jpg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=32b38d08ea7cbddfa4180a8ac904508c5fd68297 Understanding Nexplanon Birth ControlNexplanon is a small, flexible rod inserted just under the skin of the upper arm. It releases a hormone called etonogestrel, which prevents pregnancy by stopping ovulation and thickening cervical mucus to block sperm. One of the most significant advantages of Nexplanon is its duration—it provides up to three years of continuous birth control, making it a hassle-free choice for long-term contraception.Preparing for Nexplanon InsertionInitial ConsultationYour journey to getting Nexplanon starts with a consultation. During this visit, your healthcare provider will assess your medical history, discuss how Nexplanon works, and address any concerns. This is a crucial step to ensure that Nexplanon is the right fit for your health needs.Scheduling Your AppointmentTiming your Nexplanon insertion is essential. The ideal time for the procedure is during the first five days of your menstrual cycle to guarantee immediate protection against pregnancy. If inserted at another time, using an additional form of birth control temporarily is recommended.Mental and Physical PreparationUnderstanding the insertion process can help reduce any anxiety. Since the procedure involves inserting Nexplanon through a needle, knowing that the area will be numbed with local anesthesia can provide reassurance.The Nexplanon Insertion ProcessDetailed Steps
Post-Insertion ExperienceImmediate AftercareMinor bruising, swelling, or discomfort at the insertion site is normal. These symptoms typically resolve within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.Monitoring and MaintenanceRoutine check-ups with your healthcare provider are essential to ensure Nexplanon is functioning correctly. Monitor the insertion site and overall health and report any unusual changes.Comparisons with Other Birth Control MethodsWhile Nexplanon birth control offers significant benefits, it’s beneficial to compare it with other methods like IUD birth control. Unlike IUDs, which are placed inside the uterus, Nexplanon is less invasive with its arm insertion. Both methods are highly effective, but the choice may depend on personal health considerations and lifestyle preferences.Transitioning from Other Birth ControlIf you’re switching from another method, such as an IUD, overlapping birth control methods during the transition period is essential to maintain continuous pregnancy prevention.How IUD Clinic Can AssistThe IUD Clinic’s comprehensive care extends to other modern contraceptives, such as Nexplanon. They provide expert consultations, insertion services, and ongoing support, ensuring that you receive personalized and effective contraceptive care. Their team is dedicated to guiding you through each process step, from choosing the best option to managing it post-insertion.ConclusionOpting for Nexplanon insertion is a significant decision that offers reliable, long-term birth control. By understanding the process and preparing adequately, you can ensure a smooth experience and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with effective contraception. The IUD Clinic is there to support you with expert care, helping you navigate your options and maintain optimal reproductive health.For More:- www.theiud-clinic.com/iuds |
2024.05.14 13:57 Punvixen How soon did bleeding start?
I got the implant a week ago and I did ask my doc at the time how soon any bleeding may start as I was well informed it can mess up your cycle and cause spotting and etc and he said often within a few days.
So far nothing bleeding wise, and it’s considered effective for preventing pregnancy at 7 days post insertion so the hormone levels should be decent by now. I’ve also read some people had it for months before any crazy bleeding starts. I am really hoping it just stops my periods all together as they have been heavier and longer post babies and I’m terrified to get an IUD. Very annoying.
So, can you guys tell me how long post placement you had the bleeding start? I also read bleeding within the first 3 months is fairly predictive of the pattern it will follow overall.
Thanks!

2024.05.14 13:45 drdigantpathak1 Understanding the Duration of Laparoscopic Surgery for Endometriosis
 | laparoscopic surgery in Jabalpur submitted by drdigantpathak1 to u/drdigantpathak1 [link] [comments] Endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, can cause severe pelvic pain and infertility in some cases. Laparoscopic surgery in Jabalpur is often recommended as a treatment option for managing endometriosis symptoms and improving fertility. But how long does this surgery typically last? Let's delve into the details. The Basics of Laparoscopic Surgery for Endometriosis Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, involves making small incisions in the abdomen through which a thin, flexible tube with a camera (laparoscope) and specialized surgical instruments are inserted. This allows the laparoscopic surgeon in Jabalpur to visualize the pelvic organs and perform precise surgical procedures to remove endometrial tissue and any adhesions that may be causing symptoms. Factors Affecting Duration
On average, laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis can last anywhere from 1 to 3 hours. However, this duration can vary depending on the factors mentioned above. Surgeons aim to complete the procedure as efficiently as possible while ensuring thorough removal of endometrial tissue and addressing any associated complications. Recovery and Postoperative Care Following laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis, patients typically experience a shorter recovery time compared to traditional open surgery. Most individuals can expect to return home the same day or within 24 hours of the procedure. However, full recovery may take several weeks, during which time patients are advised to follow their surgeon's instructions regarding rest, pain management, and activity restrictions. Laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis is a minimally invasive procedure that offers effective relief for individuals suffering from pelvic pain and infertility associated with the condition. While the duration of surgery can vary based on several factors, including the extent of endometriosis and additional procedures required, skilled laparoscopic surgeon in Jabalpur strive to perform the procedure efficiently while prioritizing patient safety and optimal outcomes. If you're considering laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis, consult with a qualified healthcare provider to discuss your options and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. |

Dr. Rita Modi, acclaimed as Thane's leading IVF expert, supervises the intricate process at our IVF services in Thane clinic.

Here, she thoroughly evaluates your medical history, discusses fertility concerns, and tailors treatment options to suit your needs. Ovarian Stimulation: The process begins by stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Over 8-14 days, hormone injections are administered to encourage follicle growth, closely monitored through ultrasound scans and blood tests. Egg Retrieval: Once the follicles are mature, the egg retrieval process takes place. Under sedation, eggs are delicately retrieved from the ovaries using a thin needle guided by ultrasound, a procedure typically lasting 20-30 minutes. Sperm Collection: Concurrently, on the same day as egg retrieval, the male partner provides a sperm sample, or in certain cases, earlier sperm retrieval procedures are conducted. Fertilization: In the laboratory, retrieved eggs are fertilized with sperm using conventional IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Embryologists meticulously oversee the fertilization process, which spans 16-20 hours. Embryo Culturing: Embryos are cultured in a controlled environment for 3-5 days, undergoing cell division. The highest-quality embryos are then selected for transfer. Embryo Transfer: Typically, 3-5 days after egg retrieval, the chosen embryos are transferred into the uterus in a swift, painless procedure without anesthesia. Progesterone Support: Post-embryo transfer, progesterone supplements may be prescribed to bolster the uterine lining and embryo implantation. Pregnancy Test: Approximately 10-14 days following embryo transfer, a pregnancy blood test determines the outcome, with a positive result indicating successful implantation. Pregnancy Monitoring: Upon confirmation of pregnancy, regular monitoring and ultrasound scans track fetal development. The duration of IVF varies for each individual, influenced by factors such as ovarian response and embryo development. Typically, a single IVF cycle in Thane spans 4-6 weeks from ovarian stimulation to pregnancy testing.

2024.05.14 06:45 True_Alternative5163 Lead lifespan
When I got my 1st device implanted in 2007 I feel like I remember being told that the leads would last roughly only 15-20 years. I'm going in later this week for device change due to battery life. This will be my 3rd. I was told that the leads were looking to be in good shape still and wouldn't need to be changed, great news, right! Just curious how long most people's leads are lasting? Anyone have any issues where they were told the leads were good before the procedure and then had issues that created a need to replace? I should feel fine about it but I for some reason I'm feeling uneasy this time around.

2024.05.14 05:39 Logical-Dragonfly676 How do dentists feel about doing all on 6
I know what’s coming my way.. I would eventually need a full mouth of implants and I don’t just have 100k+ laying around to achieve this. So I was wondering how you felt about this alternative. Are the bridges really stable as they say? Can I start doing the implants one by one as I need them for this procedure.. what teeth are implanted? I would assume the four back teeth? And then what other ones. Or is it all on 8? I forgot. About how much does this usually run. I would probably get this done around 40 just to get it done with..how long donuts usually hold up and how much are repairs. Unfortunately I don’t have the best genetics combined with a lot of poor dental work that lead up To me avoiding the dentist for years

2024.05.14 05:03 notoriousbck Anyone diagnosed with Gastroduodenal or Jejunal Crohn's that did not show up on MRI ?
I posted about this awhile back and did not get much response but I am gaslighting myself and need people who have gone through this or similar to help me be objective.
I will Try to keep this brief but it's a lot.
-long history of stricturing Crohn's of terminal ileum diagnosed in 2006. First resection Sept 2018, Last resection in April 2022. Surgeon told me he found Crohn's high up in small bowel, could not remove safely, hoped new biologic (Stelara) would take care of it.
-6 month delay in starting Stelara due to GI F up (forgot to send preauthorization)
-July 2022 began having severe upper gastric pain (under ribs and belly button) after even the smallest amount of food, followed by severe nausea and often vomiting. Within half hour multiple liquid BM's undigested food and insane amount of fluid. Began to eat less and less, moved to soft diet, and finally to complete liquids in August 2023
-July 2023-Oct 2023- Weight loss of 20 lbs over 3 month period. Many ER visits needed for rehydration and IV anti emetics and pain meds as could not keep down any oral meds. GI did colonoscopy but only found microscopic Crohn's in anastomosis site (he only took 2 biopsies from that area and nowhere else). CT's done in hospital showed thickening of wall of ascending colon, and collapsed bowel, free fluid in peritoneum. GI dismissed as "not reliable". Fecal Cal slightly elevated. Constant low grade anemia. After 4th ER visit in Oct 2023 they did a high res Ultrasound and I was admitted by surgery department. However, as I was urgent but not emergent, there were no beds available. Was given choice of staying in ER and receiving IV steroids, or going home and following up with GI. Chose home and was given Entocort. Entocort slowed down bowel from 30-50 bm's a day to ten. Did not help pain, nausea, vomiting, lack of ability to eat. After several desperate emails where I begged for help, said I wanted to die-GI ordered urgent MRI, would not change meds or give prednisone without "proof".
-November 2023-Began to experience fatigue like never before. Could hardly keep eyes open. This would be followed by severe upper gastric pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea that went on for days, followed by constipation for 1-2 days and severe bloating, only on the left side of belly which would be rock hard and hot to the touch. Then the diarrhea cycle woud begin again. Always pure liquid, sometimes black, always tons of mucous.
-Went to Mexico to visit my parents for the holidays where I usually feel better but still could not eat. Injecting myself with IM Gravol (anti emetic) just to keep fluids down. I lived off of chicken broth with rice. Saw GI in private hospital. Ordered full workup. Blood found in stool. 3 D CT ordered (could not find a vein for IV after 5 nurses, two doctors, and a radiologist with a vein finder so only had oral contrast) showed inflammation in small bowel, thickening of the ascending colon wall 11 mm, and inflammation of ileum. He wanted to send me to special IBD hospital in Mexico City for MRI but it would have cost 2500$ so I decided to wait till I got home to Canada where it would be free. Treated me with antibiotics for IBS (only available in Mexico and Germany) Zero improvement. I lived off of electrolyte drinks.
-Jan 29th 2024 returned to hospital because I could not keep any oral meds in (pills would be in toilet) also pain was 9/10, high fever, vomiting. Admitted again, but no beds. Left AMA with another prescription for Entocort.
-Feb 12 2024- High fever followed by two days of 40 plus liquid BM's, some of them bloody, all of them black. Husband insisted back to ER where I was admitted immediately. Cortisol levels 11 (close to adrenal failure) very low potassium. Doc said if we'd waited I likely would have died from heart event. Spent 8 + weeks in hospital having every kind of test imaginable. NOTHING showed on MRI, inflammation on CT, lower scope clear, upper endoscopy showed inflammation in esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Negative for H Pylori, negative for celiac. Started on 150 mg of hydrocortisone for low cortisol to rescue my organs. MRI of brain showed small tumour on pituitary. Endocrinologist did ACTH test and was unhappy, kept me on 40 mg of hydrocortisone IV. PICC line insertion went awry when they Discovered I had complete stenosis of veins and needed port catheter surgically implanted. Was on TPN for 5 weeks. Needed pain meds and anti emetics every 4 hours or severe vomiting and diarrhea would ensue. 30-50 liquid bm's continued (they made me write down everything I ingested and every time I had a BM. They tested me for everything. No blood, NO CDiff, no parasites, no infection. High fever 104.5 plus delirium and CRP shot up to 50. Continued Anemia, blood work all over the place, even with TPN I needed potassium and sodium boluses 3 times a day.
-Requested pill endoscopy, GI said no Crohn's, no need for test. Suggested psych evaluation for a fucking eating disorder. Endocrinologist disagreed, said starvation and whatever disease process was causing symptoms was causing my cortisol issue. Psych diagnosed medical PTSD and generalized anxiety disorder (no shit) but NO eating disorder. Fired GI and hired IBD specialist from another city. Re ran all tests, CT showed huge diverticulum on duodenum otherwise clear. Was going to be moved to a ward from a private room. Had a panic attack because I could not share a bathroom and was not about to use a commode. Asked to be discharged after nearly 9 weeks. They were so overcrowded and basically did not know what else to do to help me, so they let me go even though I was still on TPN and NPO. Got a 5 minute instruction on how to insert a butterfly catheter for pain meds, and let go.
-Present-3 weeks later, still on liquid diet, (Boost drinks, blended oatmeal, yoghurt and soup) still on sub q and IM meds. Finally got new IBD doc to order capsule endoscopy and is treating me for SIBO (never been tested) plus set me up with nutritionist and psychologist for support. MRI repeated- totally clear.
I FEEL CRAZY. This is the sickest I have ever felt. It's been almost a year since I chewed food. The pain under my ribs just to the left of my belly button is now constant, whether I eat or not, pain meds barely take the edge off. Sometimes it's so intense I can hardly breathe. I keep passing out on the toilet. I projectile vomit daily, even using Gravol and Pantoprozole, the bile acid is awful. I've been doing tons of research and have learned that GDC and Jejunal Crohn's are extremely hard to diagnose. I have every single symptom and fit the criteria. Does this sound familiar to anyone????

2024.05.14 00:00 MamaHunter100 Infected Tissue Expander Removed in Bonus Mother's Day Surgery (Reconstruction Problems)
Hey Breasties - I'm leaning in here to get some support as I'm struggling. Was diagnosed with high grade widespread DCIS 2/5, had UMX on affected left breast (didn't want to wait for plastics to coordinated the surgery months out, so just had cancerous side removed.) Pathology showed dirty margins, so I was able to get back into the surgery queue for 4/29 - resection of left cancer side to get clear margins (which did come back clear), removed right breast prophylactically, put in tissue expanders on both sides.
I suffered through the first 10 days post-op (so much pain, so hard to sleep or be comfortable awake), then developed a ranging infection in the left side which had been resected, so lots of trauma to this breast area.
Went into the ER Friday night of Mother's Day Weekend, was admitted, IV antibiotics to try and rebound from infection - no dice - went into surgery Saturday afternoon to have the expander removed and tissues flushed out. I had to make the decision on the spot whether or not to go totally flat and wait 8-12 in line for diep flap, or keep the right expander and try again. I went with keep the right expander and hope for the best with implants.
So that's three surgeries in 8.5 weeks.
My plastic surgeon explained that I could start doing fills on the right (tomorrow would be the first, my expanders were place flat with no saline because I didn't have room), get right breast where I want it over three months, which is how long I'll have to wait before getting a new left TE, but they could put in my permanent right implant when they place the left expander. Then I'd have lefty filed over...however many weeks to match the right, then a final exchange for implant on the left.
I'm pretty devastated to be lopsided again....and through the summer with swimsuit season and my 25th wedding anniversary (I was hoping we'd perhaps vacation somewhere warm). But now...argh. Just feel so deflated (bc comedy) to be uniboobed again...as long as I have no other infections or issues, this cancer will include 6 surgeries, plus I have a bonus hysterectomy to schedule amidst all the plastic surgeries. If I want nipples, add one more surgery. (that's 8 surgeries)
I'm self-employed - writer, coach, musician - but am not holding it together very well. Trying to coach people when you're falling apart is tough.
I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has made it to the other side through TE infections to a completed chest they like with implants (or did you give up on TE>implants and go with Diep Flap). I'm just now hearing about the 25% failure rate of TE> Implants. Somehow I missed that before going for it.
I'm listening...

2024.05.13 23:37 Scootsna [Vanilla Builds] Episode 1: THE GRENDEL! aka The Ugly Bastard
![[Vanilla Builds] Episode 1: THE GRENDEL! aka The Ugly Bastard](https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/wZAER5qBp3SVLpbnglSkkvcY0kOPG_XnogDVLmgU9Pc.jpg "[Vanilla Builds] Episode 1: THE GRENDEL! aka The Ugly Bastard") | Howdy starsector submitted by Scootsna to starsector [link] [comments] I noticed there was a lack of good vanilla content on this here reddit and would really like to share and discuss vanilla builds. Therefore I will be starting this reddit series! I will be posting 1 ship build I love every few days, for every ship in the game; discussing where and when its useful, as well as how to use it effectively. I will be avoiding [Redacted] weapons and ships as they are all very powerful and are good on just about any ship unless there is a special exception (like for the Vigilance). As this is my first post I will be describing some of the characteristics I will be addressing: Recommended Captain Type (NPC, Player, None): Some ship and builds function very well in the players hands (Doom). Others get the most benefit out of a NPC Pilot (Grendel) And some ships excel no matter who flies them (Tempest). And then again, other ships aren't worth putting an officer on or flying yourself at all (Gremlin). Effectivity at Stages of the game (Early, Mid, Late, End): Early game ships are usually placeholders that are DP inefficient, but excel at their cost to effectiveness ratio. They don't usually rely on pilots or skills to be effective (Condor). Mid game ships are either good at doing 1 thing (Pirate Falcon), an efficient centerpiece (Champion), or help cover deficiencies in your fleet composition by filling multiple roles effectively (Legion). A good pilot and player skills with BI mods can carry you into the late game. Late game ships are powerful beasts, they need to be DP efficient and excel perfectly in their role or multiple roles (Onslaught, Astral, Odyssey). These ships have to be efficient, max level pilots and player skills, and BI mods are highly recommended. End game ships are insane powerhouses that break the game and are supposed to (Invictus, [Redacted], [Redacted]. These ships are powerful at base level, including BI mods, Pilot skills, and Player skills makes most fights trivial. BI (Built-in) Mods: Some of these builds won't function very efficiently or see a huge jump in firepower when mods are built in (Onslaught), others can perform very well without them (Luddic Path Brawler). Role: This is a bit more subjective and I will be explaining per ship. Recommended Skills: Skills that are recommended for making this ship work in the fleet, this includes pilot skills as well as Starfarer skills. And if you think there's anything I can do to improve these posts please let me know! Without further ado, let me introduce you to my favorite ship in the game, The Grendel-class Phase Cruiser! https://preview.redd.it/7dc3lwswmd0d1.png?width=1065&format=png&auto=webp&s=789724d96f96d25b13ce2950b329b70ccd6f74d8 Role: Distraction, Point Control, Tank Captain Type: NPC Minimum B-I Mods: 2 Effective: Mid-Late Game Recommended Player Skills: Flux Regulation, Phase Coil Tuning There are a lot of generic skills that always benefit nearly every ship (Tactical Drills, Crew Training), but these are the main 2 that help the Grendel dodge incoming fire and keep flux stable. Recommended Captain Skills: Impact Mitigation, Elite Field Modulation, Polarized Armor, Ballistic Mastery, Gunnery Implants Impact Mitigation, Elite Field Modulation, Polarized Armor: More survivability. Ballistic Mastery and Gunnery Implants: Increase the range of the guns to keep them relevant vs capital ships and avoid unnecessary close range fire. Description: This ship went from bottom to top of my list when me and my friend worked out a good build for it over some drinks. We built this ship to support my Invictus, it was slow to get into combat and reach objectives and vulnerable to getting ganged up on. Enter the Grendel, arriving ahead of my capitals they pull fire and pull attention of all enemy ships acting as an incredibly Tanky, Evasive, and Dangerous craft. Using it's needlers to neuter enemy flux, decent point-defense, and some maulers to punish enemies that try to shield flicker the needlers, this baddie almost never dies. I love having 2 of these late game to secure and harass enemy capture points or distract multiple capital ships. The Grendel can tank multiple capital ships using its superior maneuverability and phase cloak, getting enemies to waste missiles and build up flux. While this bad boy will last a LONG time, he doesn't have the infinite staying power of shield ships (the Monitor), so you will want to have heavy hitting assault ships that can deal damage hard and fast (Onslaught, [Redacted], Invictus, lots of bombers) since they will eventually get whittled down in a long grindy fight. Amazing at holding enemy objectives it can easily push off smaller craft and retreat when getting overwhelmed. The heavy needlers have a tendency to shred enemy fighters and bombers as an added bonus. What do you think about the build, will it work with your fleet, is it a waste of DP, do you have a better fit? Thank you so much for reading my shitty reddit post, if you would like to see your favorite ship in one of these posts, please leave a comment below, highest upvoted will be the next ship I build! |
2024.05.13 21:35 DragonflyOk2684 Firing spirit guides?
My spirit guides purposly pinch parts of my body, create thought flows that only let me think about what they want me to think about, and constantly talk and chatter and negativity and purposly destory my life in a variety of places and im turning 25 now and beyond witts end
I've only started to pick up so many things because they keep me in a daze on PURPOSE and constant pain and all these spiritual problems and fluctuations
And they do things like numb me from the things i like on purpose, put images of things i hate all the time in my head, always channelling through me and doing stuff to my energy and body that randomly makes me sometimes unable to stop talking, or i feel cold and my energy is gone, or they keep my arm muscles pinched in a way that destory my confidence in a weird backwards way but it works, and long term ive ate more than ive lifted and they make fun of my body, and had it all back then but not really since theyve been here ever since the beginning of my spiritual problems or before that
i cant find the details properly, but i know some things they warned me to never astral projexct, along with a bunch of other silly things and rules that basically destoryed me, and i came across a video by key.guidance on TT and she said you CAN fire spirit guides with AP
what ive learned recently, and theyve got me so messed up i write this as i shake:
also i didnt know they were human but i always suspected they were since they weren't unconditionally loving at all and have appeared in me and my father's dreams a few times as a human man, islamic & religous, so is my dad and the religion i was born into
and they keep me forced to follow many rules with no freedom and free will, one time the spiritual storm was so strong and they were telling me it's "God's torment" and "if you get married we will make it stop" and they think i have daddy issues and create a variety of ACTUAL GASLIGHTING to the point where i have literal no power & no one would believe the amount of shit these guys do to me by the 24/7, and ive been fighting to get rid of my spiritual problems since i was an early teen, my memories got blacked out like 3-5 times in here, and they do that on purpose and numb me when i try to think back and tell me dont look back so they implant a belief in me at certain times and completely mess with me
and for so long ive been searching what the actual F is my actual spiritual problem, listen:
but my life went to SHIT with each and every advice i took from them, and they gaslight me about it like crazy too, but its been confirmed now that all these things theyve done to me was on purpose, and i was always too much in survibal mode, immidiate survival mode to be able to think about whats going on properly, my main source of anxiety throughout the times was "listening to you isnt doing me well" until i finally learned why that was
i just kept trusting, because the game they play is deep and they basically try to use you 24/7, and they make fun of me when they deplete me and im having a breakdown in the corner
so now what? i learned i can put them in jail because of some method with AP, WHICH i didnt end up doing and was a big time dream of mine because i was specified that i couldnt, and when i tried, i got literal r4ped by ghost humans or demons, two of them, male
so im at my wits end and i hurt myself thinking about the last one and it makes them so happy, and im so miserable now, but im strong, but also there's actual no hope unless somebody can tell me how i can stop channeling, how to cut their permissions
and also you guys no joke, i was a progidy and these guys are NOT gonna be taken down by any random specialist
anything would help, love!

- theyre spirit guides and are islamic, im not sure what others have when they use taro sites , but the one i used randomly when i was younger as i was discovering i had spiritual problems and studying physics on my own, is that i can communicate with an angel theoretically, by just writing "angel messenges generator" of some sort on my phone, and i made contact with something, i didnt know what it was at the time and i thought it was actual angels

2024.05.13 21:02 One-Knowledge8251 Same day TRI implant
I’m looking for feedback on this. I’m looking to get an implant for my eye tooth in front and one place I went to suggested going this route. Because it’s a front tooth and I’m really nervous about having a hole in the front of my mouth, they said they have this new technology. I’m nervous because of it being so new to this office and also I haven’t really found much online about it aside from the actual website itself. Are they safe? Is it worth it? How do they hold up long term? Should I just go the traditional route for peace of mind? Also, why can't a periodontist do a regular crown but he can do a same day crown? (I realize this is a question I need to ask him, but I don't want to call back yet until I get more outside info on it). I also don’t really know all the questions I should probably be asking. This is all unknown and terrifying to me.
