My Experience Post-Botox (From Day 1 to 5 Weeks Later)

2024.05.20 07:06 BBarros1111 My Experience Post-Botox (From Day 1 to 5 Weeks Later)

Hey everyone, this sub helped me so much with figuring out about this condition and eventually helping me find a doctor that would give me the botox treatment, so I wanted to give a full detailed account of my experience to help anyone else in the beginning of their journey!
So for some context I am 21F and for as long as I can recall, I’ve never burped. My parents tell me I had no issues burping as a baby, so somewhere in my early life I lost the ability to burp. I can remember having symptoms for many years now, but it’s only been in the last few years of me starting college and getting into my intended career field when this condition started to really affect my life negatively. My biggest symptoms were the gurgling frog noises, painful bloating, and painful hiccups.
I found out about this condition probably a year or two ago, and then finally after one particularly embarrassing experience with the gurgling noises I finally decided to try and start the process of getting the botox procedure. For more context I’m located in the state of Georgia and have Kaiser Health insurance.
So in December 2023 I saw a Primary Care Doctor in order to get a referral to an ENT. Thanks to this subreddit I knew how important it was that I saw an ENT and didn't get referred to a GI doctor. During this appointment I initially didn’t bring up RCPD because I had a feeling my doctor wouldn’t take a self diagnosis seriously. However after discussing my symptoms, (which she had a hilariously confused face when I explained my symptoms and exclaimed “Wow I’ve never had someone come to me with this issue before!”) she said she felt like it was likely a GI issue. So after hearing this I decided to bring up that I had done some online research, which she actually was incredibly receptive to and even encouraged me to share what I had found. I explained to her RCPD and watched her google the condition right in front of me, and after reading some webpages she was in agreement that this is likely what I had, and changed my referral to ENT!
On January 9th 2024 I had my ENT appointment, which was pretty straightforward. My Primary Care Doctor wrote in my referral about RCPD, so the ENT’s I met with had researched the condition before my appointment. They performed an endoscopy on me to make sure I didn’t have any other issues that could be causing my symptoms, but everything came back clean. Since they found no other issues that could be causing my symptoms, they were in agreement that I likely had RCPD. However the Kaiser ENT told me that they don’t perform the Botox procedure through their system of healthcare hospitals/offices, so they’d be writing me a referral to Dr. Andrew Tkaczuk at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, GA. Even though I already knew about Dr. Tkaczuk through this subreddit, I’m glad I went through these 2 appointments with Kaiser first because it made the process of getting the botox procedure covered by Kaiser Insurance basically automatic.
On February 21st 2024 I had my first appointment at Emory with Dr. Tkaczuk. Once again this was pretty straightforward. I got another endoscopy which once again came back clean. He made sure I didn’t have any issues with acid reflux or heartburn, because in his experience the botox procedure can make those conditions worse. He also let me know that he’s performed this procedure over a hundred times now and never had any complications. I think he mentioned only having to redose maybe 3 patients when their first dose didn’t work. He did warn me that he mostly uses the botox procedure as a cure to bloating issues, as typically most of his patients don't go on to be world class belchers, but instead can burp just enough to relieve their symptoms of bloating and gas build up in the body. After going through all of the risks and potential side effects, I got the greenlight to get the botox procedure.
On April 12th 2024 I got my Botox procedure, and everything was incredibly easy! I showed up to Emory Hospital at 1pm and got taken back to pre-op by 1:30ish. I was not intubated since I am young and the procedure would only take around 30 minutes max, and they made sure to protect my teeth to prevent any damage that the instruments could cause. I underwent general anesthesia (Dr. Tkaczuk explained that he’s more comfortable doing the procedure under GA since the injection site is so close to vocal cords and other things that could be easily damaged if done under local) and was injected with 50 units of botox. I woke up and went home after the procedure with only a very minor sore throat. Dr. Tkaczuk warned me that I might not have any relief of my symptoms until 2 days after the procedure when the botox would likely begin to take effect. For the rest of my procedure day (Day 0) I only had a minor sore throat that eventually had gone away by bedtime.
Day 1 Post Botox Procedure I woke up and immediately drank some Sprite and Dr. Pepper, and luckily had no issues with any slow swallowing. I wasn’t getting my hopes up that I’d have any micro burps since I wasn’t 2 days post-op yet, but turns out I had nothing to worry about! Only a few hours after waking up I had my first micro-burp during a sneeze, and it only got more prevalent throughout the day. I naturally am a bit of a Dr. Pepper addict, so I was consuming fizzy drinks all day. The Dr. Pepper and Sprite gave me some occasional micro-burps, but eventually I drank a fizzy drink called “Guarana Antarctica” (A Brazilian soda similar tasting to Sprite which can be found at Brazilian grocery stores or Publix!) and that drink caused my burps to increase like crazy, so if you’re looking for a drink to induce your burps maybe try that! By night time I was practically micro-burping after every sip of a drink and even let out some quite large and quite nasty tasting burps. I also had at least 3 burps where I could feel acid come up through my nose a bit, which was definitely unpleasant but weirdly nice to experience because it told me that the procedure did its job! However all these burps were 100% uncontrollable. I did find that it was easier to get them out by turning my head to the side, but some just naturally came out while I was talking and I had no control to hold it back (I accidentally burped right in my aunt's face while talking to her!).
Day 3 Post Botox Procedure I started to get some very minor slow swallow side effects. I only experienced it when eating certain foods and luckily not with liquids. It didn’t really make it much harder to eat, I just had to wash down my bites with a drink every so often to make sure food didn’t get stuck in my throat. But otherwise my micro-burps continued as normal, but still were quite involuntary and I still didn’t have much control over them.
2 Weeks Post Botox Procedure not much has changed. I can still burp quite frequently, some sounding like loud real burps but most are just small releases of air. My slow swallow has pretty much gone away, sometimes I still need to chase some large bites of food down with liquid but it's not as bad as it was in the beginning. One thing I’ve noticed that is kind of annoying is I cant drink anything if I’m not sitting up completely straight, and if I lay down too quickly after sipping something the liquid will come right back up! I assume that my esophagus is just kind of always a little open right now which is causing this. The other day I did have what I’d consider a “burp attack” after drinking some Chick Fil A sweet tea. I was in class and literally could not stop burping, which was great for practice but none of these burps offered any release. I’d let out a burp but still feel like there was air trapped in my chest. This only ended after I stopped drinking the tea and drank some soda instead, overall it was pretty weird and so I’m curious if anyone else has experienced something similar. But so far I haven't noticed any painful bloating which has been great! I’ve explained the condition and procedure to all my friends, so whenever I’m hanging out with them they all encourage me with my burps which has been quite funny.
3 Weeks Post Botox Procedure my slow swallow symptoms are completely gone, and I’m experiencing full and natural burps when appropriate instead of small micro burps constantly through the day. I’m pretty sure I’ve learned how to burp at this point, but its hard to say until the botox really wears off. However I recently started experiencing a new and unpleasant side effect, which is throwing up a little bit in my mouth when I bend down too quickly. It’s only happened twice so far, but its very unpleasant, but I’m not super concerned since it’s likely just due to the muscle still being always slightly open. Another side effect is very jarring and painful burps that go up my nose after drinking soda. It’s really hard to describe but I’m sure anyone who has experienced it knows what I’m talking about. I’ve asked my non-RCPD family members if this is a normal thing and they all say that a burp like that happens very rarely, so I’m thinking it’ll go away soon.
5 Weeks Post Botox Procedure and all of my previous side effects have gone away! My burps are natural and happening at normal times still with the occasional burp when I sneeze. No more acid burps with soda, no more minor throwing up in my mouth when bending down. I was supposed to have a follow up appointment with Dr. T this week, but due to some scheduling conflicts I had to cancel it. However I’m pretty sure he would have given me a clean bill of health, and at least in my opinion I can pretty confidently say I’ve been cured of RCP-D! I’m pretty sure it’ll be another month or two before the botox fully wears off, so if something major changes I’ll update this post. But I think at this point it’s safe to say all of my side effects are gone, and my body has stabilized to its new normal!
Overall I am incredibly grateful for how easy this process was for me. I’m so thankful that I never dealt with any doctors not believing in my symptoms or the condition itself, and the fact that the botox kicked in so quickly and I had minimal side effects! Thanks for reading if you made it all the way down here, I hope this helps someone with their experience!

Contact Network History Project:
Joseph Burkes MD 2024

The high desert near Roswell was where contact activist Shari Adamiak reportedly was attacked
Introduction

In my judgment, flying saucers threaten all terrestrial elites, but not necessarily the planet’s people. Given what is a perceived threat to the status quo,
both corporate and Executive Branch Intelligence operatives have historically been compelled to deal with UFOs as a non-human intelligence counterintelligence challenge.

As a Working Group Coordinator in the 1990s for the Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind Initiative, I observed signs of obvious surveillance of our contact efforts. Young men in civilian clothing with a military bearing were frequently present at our research sites. Team members were blatantly photographed on arrival at a fieldwork location. On one occasion, military helicopters and on another F-14s buzzed us during our investigations.

Contact activists who are staging Human Initiated Contact Events (HICE) aka CE5, might in some ways be ideal targets to try out what are now called Directed Energy Weapons. This is because we already are under surveillance and the effects of such non-lethal technology can be readily monitored via telephone conversations and email.

Importantly, as the result of a de facto policy of ridicule and denial, most people imagine that those attempting to contact aliens” are probably mentally ill. Once targeted and attacked, contact activists would find little sympathy from the larger society, including police and medical authorities, if they dared to complain about such attacks. Thus, the technology can be developed with little interference.

“The Havana Syndrome”

During the past few years, current and former US government employees have reported being targeted by are called “Directed Energy Weapons.” The failure of US Executive Branch to identify the precise source of these alleged attacks and to adequately deal with the long-term health consequences of them, has led to charges of a coverup. The victims describe experiencing a wide range of symptoms: headaches, dizziness, blurred vision and memory loss and insomnia.

Shari Adamiak, a Prominent Leader in our Human Initiated Contact Network
Shari Adamiak was a Working Group Coordinator in the CE-5 Initiative from 1991 until her death in 1998. She played an immeasurable role in the formulation of the CSETI Contact Protocols and the development of contact teams that operated primarily in the Western United States during the 1990s. Several times Shari also accompanied the CSETI Director Dr. Greer to Southern England to investigate the relationship between UFOs and Crop Circle phenomena.

Directed Energy Weapon Attack in the United Kingdom

As a fellow contact team leader, I always paid close attention to what she shared with me about her work. If memory serves me correctly, after returning from the UK in 1994(although it might have been 1993) I heard a very disturbing account from her. While in Southern England, Shari and two other crop circle investigators were sitting at an outdoor café. A commercial van of some sort pulled up and parked about twenty yards away. Suddenly all three women developed the following symptoms, vertigo, nausea, light headedness, muscle ache and headache. According to Shari all were feeling perfectly fine before the onset of the symptoms which lasted perhaps ten or fifteen minutes and then gradually resolved. Shari stated the van then drove away.

“Psychotronic” Weaponry Appears to Target Human Consciousness
In 1994 both Steven Greer MD and Shari Adamiak reported to our network that they had been targeted with what Greer called “psychotronic” weaponry. (In Shari’s report posted below she used the term “psychoelectronic.” In his oral history book “Hidden Truth Forbidden Knowledge,” the CSETI leader described a series of attacks starting in the fall of 1994. One reportedly occurred in New York City after a meeting with a member of a European royal family.
“After falling fast asleep, I awakened hours later. I couldn't raise my arms; I couldn't roll over; I couldn't move! I was in a state of complete physical paralysis. I
knew what was going on; a directional electromagnetic weapons system hit me. It was coming through the window above my bed. Projected into the room was the single most extreme sense of evil and terror I've ever felt in my life. I could tell they were attempting to extract my astral body out of my physical body.”

This appears to be different from what Shari described above in the UK attack but is similar to what she stated happened to her in New Mexico in October 1994 during a UFO investigation. I have posted a portion of her official CSETI report on that mission below as part of my Contact Network History Project.

Readers please note that "CTS" is the abbreviation for "Coherent Thought Sequencing. This is the term Steven Greer MD coined for group meditation involving either thought projection to, and /or remote viewing of "extraterrestrial spacecraft", combined with the group's intention to interact peacefully with the non-human intelligences piloting those craft.


REPORT OF THE RAPID MOBILIZATION INVESTIGATIVE TEAM
MISSION TO THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO, U.S.A.
OCTOBER 1- 7. 1994

~INTRODUCTION~

A small Rapid Mobilization Investigative Team (RMIT) of three CSETI members met in Albuquerque, New Mexico to investigate activities in the state, and to take a reconnaissance trip to the Roswell area. Members of the team for this mission included: Steven M. Greer, M.D., international director of SETI; Shari Adamiak, CSETI executive council, coordinator for the RMIT, the working groups, and the Denver, Colorado group; and Patrick Sullivan, a CSETI member from Pagosa Springs, Colorado.

The starting date of the mission followed immediately after Steven Greer's appearance on the Larry King Live special the previous night near Area 57, Rachel, Nevada.

We traveled to the Roswell area after joining up on October 2nd. Here we spent time in prayer and thought to help heal the area and the energy from the crashes of space craft in New Mexico in the late 1940s and 1950s.

Our trip was primarily of an investigative nature. Besides wanting to do research around Roswell, we were also following up on activity reported in Midway, outside Roswell. We also wanted to investigate the White Sands area, as it had been the site of extreme activity in the past and is also an area that Dr. Greer feels may be the site of a future, cooperative landing and meeting between extraterrestrial intelligent beings and representatives from this planet, including government, military and civilian (a small CSETI team).

The report that follows is real-time dictation and field notes from this mission.

Respectfully submitted,
Shari Adamiak
CSETI Executive Council



RAPID MOBILIZATION INVESTIGATIVE TEAM MISSION TO NEW MEXICO - OCTOBER 2- 7, 1994

Real-time dictation from the field each night follows:
~October 2, 1994:~

We are outside of Roswell, New Mexico on our first night of a RMIT. Present are Steven Greer, Patrick Sullivan, and Shari Adamiak. We have just camped out on a road of a county road between Midway and Dexter. We have seen one anomalous object flying in the East, very low to the horizon headed towards the North. Did not appear to have any strobing lights. When Steven signaled to it, the object rose up a little bit and became noticeably brighter, changing from red to white. Also, as that was occurring, I saw a shooting star at about 25° above the Eastern horizon headed North.

10:50pm and two shooting stars just seen in the zenith by Patrick and Steven. Patrick just reported a very brilliant shooting star, shooting from East to West by the Milky Way. It's about 11:00. Patrick said it was the fastest "shooting star" he's ever seen. Just a moment later a second shooting star was seen by Patrick almost parallel to the other. It's just a minute or so after 11:00 and we have just been observing in the SE a very unusual strobing object visible only through the night vision scope, moving very low to the horizon with a rapid strobe to it. We can't see it with the naked eye.

At 11:40pm we had an experience during Coherent Thought Sequencing (CTS) where Steven and I both felt there was something directly over us and at the same time Patrick reported seeing a strobing above us. Steven then felt they were directly behind his head. The hair on the back of his neck stood up. He got up and on the very low Northern horizon was able to see the red-amber colored light.


It's about midnight. We're having an unusual sighting over in the East. We've been watching an object that moved South and then became stationary. Now it looks as if it could be a planet rising. It has a red-amber look to it or the object could be just totally stationary. We did signal to it. It seemed to flare up. It's about 5° above the horizon, directly across from us in the East. This object that we were looking at appeared to have positioned itself in front of either Regel or Betelgeuse in Orion, which that was a part of and is now fully risen and is beautiful in the Eastern sky.

~October 3, 1994:~

We are out at a site East of Roswell. It's just a minute or two before 7:00pm. We're getting something to east. It’s partly cloudy. It’s in the 70s. It looks like it will be fairly clear for most of the night. West. We are directly across from the mountain Capital to the West. To our East there is a vent for a gas well that's burning.

It's 7:50 and in the East towards Midway we are observing some twinkling, strobing type lights. There are two or three of them. They seem to be like the lights described that Mr. Escamillo has on video from Midway. About a minute later, we don't see them at all. Oh, I just saw one flash farther to the East. We are not sure if these could be aircraft or something anomalous. They are dim to bright and white. These white blinking objects have continued on to the East, traveling in the South part of the sky. They are continuing to do strobing and flashing but in no regular pattern. They appear to be chasing each other randomly across the sky, rather slowly.

It's 10:15pm and there is one single white bright light appearing in the South that is signaling back to us. It is very low on the horizon, maybe even on the ground. The object just signaled back twice after a signal sent to it of two flashes. It is in the area of Bottomless Lakes State Park, which is due South of us. It's about 5 or 10 minutes later and this light in the South is again signaling. It's moved just a bit. It moves a bit to the East or the West, but it's still completely low, right on the horizon. We don't know if it's terrestrial or extraterrestrial at this point. It is 10:35 when this signaling has reoccurred again. Steven is now looking at it through the night vision binoculars and he says it is a continuously illuminated object that's on right now, even when it is not signaling to us. It just now flashed again faintly. We will continue to signal to this and report. The sky has also become completely clear except for around the very far edges and just in the East. Through the night vision scope, Patrick is seeing that there is also a corresponding strobing light in the sky about 10° above the horizon that's in synch with the one that's here on the ground. But we cannot see the one in the sky without using the night vision scope.


It's 11:00 and the light across the road in the South by the Bottomless Lakes has just illuminated itself about 5 or 6 times to us. It definitely seems to be under intelligent control. The last round of signaling that's going on now started up just after we broadcast the tones out over the walkie-talkie. It's just a few minutes after 11:00 and Steven saw an extremely fast moving "meteorite" just to the East of zenith. He said it was faster than anything he's ever seen move. Also, it happened to Patrick last night - that same type of extremely fast moving object.

It's 11:55 and we were just hit from behind to our East by some beam that was low and on the ground that swept right across the field encompassing us.


NOTE THAT JUST AS I WAS TRANSCRIBING THIS, I LEARNED THAT THE TAPE IS BLANK FROM THIS POINT ON FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT. VERY INTERESTING IN THAT THE EVENT THAT FOLLOWED WAS VERY UNUSUAL. WHAT FOLLOWS IS MY NARRATIVE REPORT BASED ON RECOLLECTION SINCE THE TAPE HAS BEEN
COMPROMISED. THE BLANK SPOT LASTS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS NIGHT'S DICTATION, THEN PICKS UP AGAIN ON THE FOLLOWING NIGHT'S FIELD DICTATION. I BELIEVE THIS BLANK SPACE IN THE TAPE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE PSYCHOELECTRONIC ATTACK.


Narrative Report:

Soon after this round of light signaling, we did a Coherent Thought Sequencing. I was in a deep state of unbounded mind when I felt my body struck by an invisible beam of negative energy. It caused nearly total paralysis except that my body was wracked with small convulsions from what I sensed to be a psychoelectronic, non-lethal weapon. I could hear myself moaning slowly. I felt that the beam was coming from my left, towards Bottomless Lakes. I sensed three shadowy figures that appeared to be human men. The beam had the effect of separating me from my teammates. Since I only had the faculty of mind at my disposal during the attack, I mentally asked where Patrick and Steven were. I finally could sense Patrick out I front of me, distance away. I could not see or sense Steven. I kept asking mentally, “Where is Steven?” in as authoritative tone as I could manage while under attack. Receiving no response, I began to mentally call to Steven. He must have mentally picked up my thoughts because I felt him take my hands even though he was not there physically. He then hugged me and the attack ended. I sensed that it was our combined energy that was able to break the beam. I then rather passed out for a few minutes.

When our CTS ended, I clearly recalled everything that happened and knew I had not dozed off and had a dream. It was ultimately real. I was still a bit weak from the attack. Steven asked if something happened. I said, "you won't believe this" and proceeded to tell Steven and Patrick most of what occurred. Patrick had been unaware of any of this during our CTS. When I finished, Steven said, "wait until you hear this". During the CTS, he heard a voice that said, "are you ready to go?" He then felt that the energy was instantly scrambled and he lost the connection. He could hear me faintly moaning and sensed that I was in distress. He then came to me etherically and hugged me. The dove tailing of our experiences was incredible. For some days, I pondered on this event. It had a profound effect upon me, and still does to this day. I knew it was highly significant that we were able to break the attack with combined positive energy. I also instinctively and absolutely felt that the attack had come from human beings. I knew that it was not sent by extraterrestrials. The beam carried with it fear and terror which I knew were being projected upon me by an outside force. I did not feel that fear and terror from within my own being, but I was forced to experience it.

We then saw the ground-based lights at Bottomless Lakes flashing randomly again. It was nearly 1:00 by now and we decided to pack up. And drive over there to investigate. As we were in a flat open area, and anyone at Bottomless could have seen us coming for literally a mile. We drove around the Bottomless Lakes State Park, shining our 1.5 million candle power light all about. No traces of anyone or any vehicles were seen. There is a county road that cuts out of Bottomless Lakes which could make for an easy get-away for any one in that park.

If flying saucer intelligences threaten all terrestrial elites, but not necessarily the Earth’s people, then it is understandable that governmental response to UFOs is a counterintelligence one.

2024.05.20 06:57 Kellers150 HELP‼️ Freaking out over visible movement in stomach 😭 Video and explanation in comments.

2 days ago I started having major bloating in middle and lower abdomen. Happened after eating and was pretty painful. That night when laying down I started noticing a flutter feeling and saw, what looked like, something moving in my stomach (pretty sure it is restalsis, but definitely freaked out thinking it was a parasite or worm at first). I am obviously going to go to the Dr but I’m noticing my symptoms can go along with a lot of possible diagnosis. So I’m just asking if anyone has dealt with anything close to what I am?!?!
Symptoms: Bloating ; somewhat gassy ; stomach pain (only when bloated) ; peristalsis ; Happens after eating ; NO CONSTIPATION
Will add more if I think of any others but it is currently 1AM where I am and have lost quite a bit of sleep over this.
Heres the VIDEO

2024.05.20 06:55 AffectionateSleep229 Want to feel 100% again

Hey I’ve been dealing with a lot of health issues it seems for the past year it seems. Frustration brings me here as I have had a difficult time getting information and ideas from doctors. It all started over a year I began to develop pain and discomfort in my groin area. It was hard to pinpoint the exact area where the discomfort comes from. Sometimes it would feel like the testicles, other near the joint, other on the shaft, or sometimes down the urethra. I often felt a feeling of cold near the tip of the scrotum. Then a few months after that, I began to feel soreness and muscle aches throughout the body, mainly the upper part of my arms. This symptom went on for months during the summer. For that the doctor noted I was deficient in vitamin d and told me to take a supplement for it. I feel that has worked a bit but still deal with this issue still. Generally I deal with that groin discomfort, body ache, fatigue, lack of motivation, and just drained and tired of it all. I would like some help trying to find what is wrong and point me in a direction because I have not gotten much from doctors. More background, in 2018 I had a sexual encounter that gave me bad anxiety for STDs. Specifically I was scared for HIV. Few months after I developed a swollen lymph node right below my ear on the right side only. I thought that was the start and took a Sylvia test and it seemed negative to me. Still anxiety and fear ruled over me for years but I tried to forget. In 2022 around covid time, I noticed my tongue more white and felt weird to swallow and stuff. I was worried that was HIV and my symptoms were multiplying. Doctors did say it wasn’t oral thrush so I’m not sure on that still. In 2023 when the groin discomfort began, I finally decided it was time to get a blood test. Got a 4th gen HIV 1&2 test and it came back negative. I thought that it would put my mind to rest but it didn’t somehow. I was still extremely worried as I still felt the issues above. A couple months ago I decided to get another HIV 4th gen 1&2 blood test. It came back negative again. All other STDs came back negative as well. I just want to find out what it could be and how to feel 100% again in my life. It makes my school, physical, and mental life hard on me. So if anyone could help me I would really appreciate it.

2024.05.20 06:52 heheihahthe1 How to fix my mental block on sexual & romantic aspects

This post was in r\sexualassault, but i thought i might get an advice in this sub
First thing to say: don't advice me to go to a therapist. Im already going to a psychiatrist and i dont wish to explain why i dont want to do more.
Im currently 17. Since January 2024
My latest sexual assault happened in the end kf December before 2024. I dont know if thats even considered rape, cause it was online and physically im still a virgin Forced to sexual activities on videocalls mostly. It was not blackmail. But even since i havent told the full story and the reason of it to anyone, and not now, because i dont feel like it I had an anxiety disorder developed since December, but a little earlier than that case. That case lasted about a week, and it started about 18-19th dec. My first anxiety disorder attack happened on about 11nd december. I still have no idea what caused it to start Before that, i had 2 surgeries recently.
  1. A heart surgery on 16th nov. It was painful, my back muscle was cut. It took me a lot to recover physically, but i never remembered it giving me anxiety
  2. An abscess surgery in the start of december. I dont remember the exact date. But 11th dec was the day when i got home. One thing i noticed when i just came out of the hospital is the very hardening of my fingertips. They ached. Alot. And then by about 9pm i had the attack
And as you already know, later after that, before the new year, the case happened. I had some earlier cases similar to sexual assault, but i clearly remember that this one bringed the most anxiety i ever had in my life. Ended with my family finding out about it and that's the point that made me absolutely collapse
I booked an appointment to a psychiatrist on 9th jan. But she was so busy, that the closest appointment was on 21st feb And that january was the absolute worst day in my whole life.
Another case that i think is a little similar to sexual thing, but i have no idea how to call it. In 2023 spring, i barely killed myself My relations with my classmates were never good. I have changed schools before, but i dont want to talk about it here. Its not important The situation was about my classmates leaking my nudes. They werent completely nudes, but that was enough I live in a small city. And there's a group that leaks everything like that here. Awful One girl i knew for about a month a couple years ago was also leaked there a couple days after she left our friend group. She was 14 or 15 then. Theres also some younger girls if i remember correctly
And since my city is small - many teens are following that telegram channel. One special thing about my city's teens is that their mentality is mostly like that. And that's why i was in such fear
Now, may 2024. I got me a boyfriend. He's pretty, loving and sweet. Somewhat older than me but not much He doesn't demand any sexual contact and i know that he never would. But im a girl who is more of a giver, not a taker. Im also loving
Sexual stuff is not a bad thing to him. We haven't been doing something like that yet, and it won't be soon. Unless i will be batshit drunk or something like that. But lets not consider that situation That "trauma" if u even can call it like that, progressed on smaller things. Like just usual pictures. Earlier, i loved taking them. And he loves looking at them. I understand him completely. When i take those, i tend to stare at them sometimes, hahah But the thing is about taking them. One of last times i just broke down and cried And i have no idea what to do with that. I dont want to leave him, i love him. But what will be in the future? I'll have to do it someday. Im scared.
I'm not disgusted about watching nsfw, talking about that, etc
And im really easy to cry Also im fatherless. Daddy issues. Thats worse

Introduction

In my judgment, flying saucers threaten all terrestrial elites, but not necessarily the planet’s people. Given what is a perceived threat to the status quo, both corporate and Executive Branch Intelligence operatives have historically been compelled to deal with UFOs as a non-human intelligence counterintelligence challenge.

As a Working Group Coordinator in the 1990s for the Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind Initiative, I observed signs of obvious surveillance of our contact efforts. Young men in civilian clothing with a military bearing were frequently present at our research sites. Team members were blatantly photographed on arrival at a fieldwork location. On one occasion, military helicopters and on another F-14s buzzed us during our investigations.

Contact activists who are staging Human Initiated Contact Events (HICE) aka CE5, might in some ways be ideal targets to try out what are now called Directed Energy Weapons. This is because we already are under surveillance and the effects of such non-lethal technology can be readily monitored via telephone conversations and email.

Importantly, as the result of a de facto policy of ridicule and denial, most people imagine that those attempting to contact aliens” are probably mentally ill. Once targeted and attacked, contact activists would find little sympathy from the larger society, including police and medical authorities, if they dared to complain about such attacks. Thus, the technology can be developed with little interference.

“The Havana Syndrome”

During the past few years, current and former US government employees have reported being targeted by are called “Directed Energy Weapons.” The failure of US Executive Branch to identify the precise source of these alleged attacks and to adequately deal with the long-term health consequences of them, has led to charges of a coverup. The victims describe experiencing a wide range of symptoms: headaches, dizziness, blurred vision and memory loss and insomnia.

Shari Adamiak, a Prominent Leader in our Human Initiated Contact Network
Shari Adamiak was a Working Group Coordinator in the CE-5 Initiative from 1991 until her death in 1998. She played an immeasurable role in the formulation of the CSETI Contact Protocols and the development of contact teams that operated primarily in the Western United States during the 1990s. Several times Shari also accompanied the CSETI Director Dr. Greer to Southern England to investigate the relationship between UFOs and Crop Circle phenomena.

Directed Energy Weapon Attack in the United Kingdom

As a fellow contact team leader, I always paid close attention to what she shared with me about her work. If memory serves me correctly, after returning from the UK in 1994(although it might have been 1993) I heard a very disturbing account from her. While in Southern England, Shari and two other crop circle investigators were sitting at an outdoor café. A commercial van of some sort pulled up and parked about twenty yards away. Suddenly all three women developed the following symptoms, vertigo, nausea, light headedness, muscle ache and headache. According to Shari all were feeling perfectly fine before the onset of the symptoms which lasted perhaps ten or fifteen minutes and then gradually resolved. Shari stated the van then drove away.

“Psychotronic” Weaponry Appears to Target Human Consciousness
In 1994 both Steven Greer MD and Shari Adamiak reported to our network that they had been targeted with what Greer called “psychotronic” weaponry. (In Shari’s report posted below she used the term “psychoelectronic.” In his oral history book “Hidden Truth Forbidden Knowledge,” the CSETI leader described a series of attacks starting in the fall of 1994. One reportedly occurred in New York City after a meeting with a member of a European royal family.
“After falling fast asleep, I awakened hours later. I couldn't raise my arms; I couldn't roll over; I couldn't move! I was in a state of complete physical paralysis. I knew what was going on; a directional electromagnetic weapons system hit me. It was coming through the window above my bed. Projected into the room was the single most extreme sense of evil and terror I've ever felt in my life. I could tell they were attempting to extract my astral body out of my physical body.”

This appears to be different from what Shari described above in the UK attack but is similar to what she stated happened to her in New Mexico in October 1994 during a UFO investigation. I have posted a portion of her official CSETI report on that mission below as part of my Contact Network History Project.

REPORT OF THE RAPID MOBILIZATION INVESTIGATIVE TEAM
MISSION TO THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO, U.S.A.
OCTOBER 1- 7. 1994

~INTRODUCTION~

A small Rapid Mobilization Investigative Team (RMIT) of three CSETI members met in Albuquerque, New Mexico to investigate activities in the state, and to take a reconnaissance trip to the Roswell area. Members of the team for this mission included: Steven M. Greer, M.D., international director of SETI; Shari Adamiak, CSETI executive council, coordinator for the RMIT, the working groups, and the Denver, Colorado group; and Patrick Sullivan, a CSETI member from Pagosa Springs, Colorado.

The starting date of the mission followed immediately after Steven Greer's appearance on the Larry King Live special the previous night near Area 57, Rachel, Nevada.

We traveled to the Roswell area after joining up on October 2nd. Here we spent time in prayer and thought to help heal the area and the energy from the crashes of space craft in New Mexico in the late 1940s and 1950s.

Our trip was primarily of an investigative nature. Besides wanting to do research around Roswell, we were also following up on activity reported in Midway, outside Roswell. We also wanted to investigate the White Sands area, as it had been the site of extreme activity in the past and is also an area that Dr. Greer feels may be the site of a future, cooperative landing and meeting between extraterrestrial intelligent beings and representatives from this planet, including government, military and civilian (a small CSETI team).

The report that follows is real-time dictation and field notes from this mission.

RAPID MOBILIZATION INVESTIGATIVE TEAM MISSION TO NEW MEXICO - OCTOBER 2- 7, 1994

Real-time dictation from the field each night follows:
~October 2, 1994:~

We are outside of Roswell, New Mexico on our first night of a RMIT. Present are Steven Greer, Patrick Sullivan, and Shari Adamiak. We have just camped out on a road of a county road between Midway and Dexter. We have seen one anomalous object flying in the East, very low to the horizon headed towards the North. Did not appear to have any strobing lights. When Steven signaled to it, the object rose up a little bit and became noticeably brighter, changing from red to white. Also, as that was occurring, I saw a shooting star at about 25° above the Eastern horizon headed North.

10:50pm and two shooting stars just seen in the zenith by Patrick and Steven. Patrick just reported a very brilliant shooting star, shooting from East to West by the Milky Way. It's about 11:00. Patrick said it was the fastest "shooting star" he's ever seen. Just a moment later a second shooting star was seen by Patrick almost parallel to the other. It's just a minute or so after 11:00 and we have just been observing in the SE a very unusual strobing object visible only through the night vision scope, moving very low to the horizon with a rapid strobe to it. We can't see it with the naked eye.

At 11:40pm we had an experience during Coherent Thought Sequencing (CTS) where Steven and I both felt there was something directly over us and at the same time Patrick reported seeing a strobing above us. Steven then felt they were directly behind his head. The hair on the back of his neck stood up. He got up and on the very low Northern horizon was able to see the red-amber colored light.


It's about midnight. We're having an unusual sighting over in the East. We've been watching an object that moved South and then became stationary. Now it looks as if it could be a planet rising. It has a red-amber look to it or the object could be just totally stationary. We did signal to it. It seemed to flare up. It's about 5° above the horizon, directly across from us in the East. This object that we were looking at appeared to have positioned itself in front of either Regel or Betelgeuse in Orion, which that was a part of and is now fully risen and is beautiful in the Eastern sky.

~October 3, 1994:~

We are out at a site East of Roswell. It's just a minute or two before 7:00pm. We're getting something to east. It’s partly cloudy. It’s in the 70s. It looks like it will be fairly clear for most of the night. West. We are directly across from the mountain Capital to the West. To our East there is a vent for a gas well that's burning.

It's 7:50 and in the East towards Midway we are observing some twinkling, strobing type lights. There are two or three of them. They seem to be like the lights described that Mr. Escamillo has on video from Midway. About a minute later, we don't see them at all. Oh, I just saw one flash farther to the East. We are not sure if these could be aircraft or something anomalous. They are dim to bright and white. These white blinking objects have continued on to the East, traveling in the South part of the sky. They are continuing to do strobing and flashing but in no regular pattern. They appear to be chasing each other randomly across the sky, rather slowly.

It's 10:15pm and there is one single white bright light appearing in the South that is signaling back to us. It is very low on the horizon, maybe even on the ground. The object just signaled back twice after a signal sent to it of two flashes. It is in the area of Bottomless Lakes State Park, which is due South of us. It's about 5 or 10 minutes later and this light in the South is again signaling. It's moved just a bit. It moves a bit to the East or the West, but it's still completely low, right on the horizon. We don't know if it's terrestrial or extraterrestrial at this point. It is 10:35 when this signaling has reoccurred again. Steven is now looking at it through the night vision binoculars and he says it is a continuously illuminated object that's on right now, even when it is not signaling to us. It just now flashed again faintly. We will continue to signal to this and report. The sky has also become completely clear except for around the very far edges and just in the East. Through the night vision scope, Patrick is seeing that there is also a corresponding strobing light in the sky about 10° above the horizon that's in synch with the one that's here on the ground. But we cannot see the one in the sky without using the night vision scope.


It's 11:00 and the light across the road in the South by the Bottomless Lakes has just illuminated itself about 5 or 6 times to us. It definitely seems to be under intelligent control. The last round of signaling that's going on now started up just after we broadcast the tones out over the walkie-talkie. It's just a few minutes after 11:00 and Steven saw an extremely fast moving "meteorite" just to the East of zenith. He said it was faster than anything he's ever seen move. Also, it happened to Patrick last night - that same type of extremely fast moving object.

It's 11:55 and we were just hit from behind to our East by some beam that was low and on the ground that swept right across the field encompassing us.


NOTE THAT JUST AS I WAS TRANSCRIBING THIS, I LEARNED THAT THE TAPE IS BLANK FROM THIS POINT ON FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT. VERY INTERESTING IN THAT THE EVENT THAT FOLLOWED WAS VERY UNUSUAL. WHAT FOLLOWS IS MY NARRATIVE REPORT BASED ON RECOLLECTION SINCE THE TAPE HAS BEEN
COMPROMISED. THE BLANK SPOT LASTS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS NIGHT'S DICTATION, THEN PICKS UP AGAIN ON THE FOLLOWING NIGHT'S FIELD DICTATION. I BELIEVE THIS BLANK SPACE IN THE TAPE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE PSYCHOELECTRONIC ATTACK.


Narrative Report:

Soon after this round of light signaling, we did a Coherent Thought Sequencing. I was in a deep state of unbounded mind when I felt my body struck by an invisible beam of negative energy. It caused nearly total paralysis except that my body was wracked with small convulsions from what I sensed to be a psychoelectronic, non-lethal weapon. I could hear myself moaning slowly. I felt that the beam was coming from my left, towards Bottomless Lakes. I sensed three shadowy figures that appeared to be human men. The beam had the effect of separating me from my teammates. Since I only had the faculty of mind at my disposal during the attack, I mentally asked where Patrick and Steven were. I finally could sense Patrick out I front of me, distance away. I could not see or sense Steven. I kept asking mentally, “Where is Steven?” in as authoritative tone as I could manage while under attack. Receiving no response, I began to mentally call to Steven. He must have mentally picked up my thoughts because I felt him take my hands even though he was not there physically. He then hugged me and the attack ended. I sensed that it was our combined energy that was able to break the beam. I then rather passed out for a few minutes.

When our CTS ended, I clearly recalled everything that happened and knew I had not dozed off and had a dream. It was ultimately real. I was still a bit weak from the attack. Steven asked if something happened. I said, "you won't believe this" and proceeded to tell Steven and Patrick most of what occurred. Patrick had been unaware of any of this during our CTS. When I finished, Steven said, "wait until you hear this". During the CTS, he heard a voice that said, "are you ready to go?" He then felt that the energy was instantly scrambled and he lost the connection. He could hear me faintly moaning and sensed that I was in distress. He then came to me etherically and hugged me. The dove tailing of our experiences was incredible. For some days, I pondered on this event. It had a profound effect upon me, and still does to this day. I knew it was highly significant that we were able to break the attack with combined positive energy. I also instinctively and absolutely felt that the attack had come from human beings. I knew that it was not sent by extraterrestrials. The beam carried with it fear and terror which I knew were being projected upon me by an outside force. I did not feel that fear and terror from within my own being, but I was forced to experience it.

We then saw the ground-based lights at Bottomless Lakes flashing randomly again. It was nearly 1:00 by now and we decided to pack up. And drive over there to investigate. As we were in a flat open area, and anyone at Bottomless could have seen us coming for literally a mile. We drove around the Bottomless Lakes State Park, shining our 1.5 million candle power light all about. No traces of anyone or any vehicles were seen. There is a county road that cuts out of Bottomless Lakes which could make for an easy get-away for any one in that park.

2024.05.20 06:47 LetBeFriendsHere 10 Benefits of Walking for 10 Minutes After Every Meal

Walking is one of the simplest and most accessible forms of exercise. It requires no special equipment, can be done almost anywhere, and offers a myriad of health benefits. One particularly effective habit is taking a 10-minute walk after every meal. Here’s a detailed look at the benefits of incorporating this practice into your daily routine:

1. Improves Digestion

Walking after meals aids the digestive process. It helps food move through the stomach and intestines more efficiently, reducing the chances of indigestion and bloating. The gentle movement encourages the digestive organs to function optimally.

2. Regulates Blood Sugar Levels

Post-meal walks can significantly improve blood sugar control. This is especially beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance. Walking helps the muscles use some of the excess glucose in your bloodstream, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.

3. Enhances Metabolism

Regular post-meal walks can boost your metabolism. Increased physical activity promotes a higher metabolic rate, helping your body burn more calories even when at rest. This can be particularly advantageous for weight management and fat loss.

4. Reduces Stress and Enhances Mood

Walking, even for a short duration, stimulates the release of endorphins and serotonin, hormones that help alleviate stress and improve mood. This can lead to a greater sense of well-being and reduced anxiety levels.

5. Supports Heart Health

Engaging in physical activity after meals can improve cardiovascular health. Walking helps lower blood pressure, improve circulation, and reduce the risk of heart disease. Consistent post-meal walking can contribute to maintaining a healthy heart.

6. Promotes Weight Loss

Walking after meals can aid in weight loss by increasing the number of calories burned. It helps to offset the calorie intake from your meal, contributing to a caloric deficit if combined with a balanced diet. Over time, this can lead to gradual weight loss.

7. Enhances Energy Levels

Contrary to the common belief that rest is required after eating to conserve energy, walking can actually boost your energy levels. Physical activity increases blood flow and oxygen supply to your muscles and organs, leaving you feeling more energetic and less lethargic.

8. Improves Sleep Quality

Regular physical activity, such as walking after meals, can enhance sleep quality. It helps regulate your body’s circadian rhythm and promotes deeper, more restful sleep. Better sleep contributes to overall health and well-being.

9. Strengthens Muscles and Joints

Walking is a low-impact exercise that can help strengthen muscles and joints. It improves joint mobility and flexibility, reducing the risk of conditions such as arthritis. Stronger muscles and joints contribute to better overall physical function and longevity.

10. Fosters Consistent Exercise Habits

Incorporating short walks after every meal can help establish a consistent exercise routine. It’s easier to stick to shorter, manageable exercise sessions spread throughout the day rather than committing to longer workouts. This consistency is key to reaping long-term health benefits.

Tips for Effective Post-Meal Walks

To maximize the benefits of your post-meal walks, consider the following tips:
· Choose a Comfortable Pace: Walk at a pace that feels comfortable yet brisk enough to increase your heart rate slightly.
· Wear Comfortable Shoes: Ensure you have supportive and comfortable footwear to prevent any strain or injury.
· Stay Hydrated: Drink water before and after your walk to stay hydrated.
· Be Consistent: Aim to walk after every meal to create a habit and enjoy the cumulative benefits.
· Enjoy the Scenery: Walking outside can provide additional mental health benefits, such as improved mood and relaxation from being in nature.
Conclusion
Walking for 10 minutes after every meal is a simple yet highly effective way to improve your overall health. From aiding digestion and regulating blood sugar levels to enhancing mood and supporting heart health, this easy habit offers a wide range of benefits. By making post-meal walks a regular part of your routine, you can enjoy a healthier, more active lifestyle.

2024.05.20 06:47 rygarz99 Seeking food advice

23M Hello everyone. I know that I am particularly young to have this condition, but my older brother, dad, and uncle have all had this condition in their 20's and all had to get surgery. It's a family thing for me. Also I should note that I have no other health conditions other than anxiety and a nicotine addiction lol.
Yesterday I was working and had the worst stomach ache all day and thought I was constipated. It should be noted that I have never had issues with constipation. Went home and could barely sleep because the pain was so bad. Around 3am I developed a fever, which went away after I took some Tylenol. Called out of work today and went to urgent care. Aside from the painful experience of waiting for 4 hours, I found out that I have diverticulosis with a mild case of diverticulitis. Damn, I thought I was going to be the lucky black sheep!
The doctor has me on a liquid diet for the next couple days and then has me going on BRAT for a few more days after. I am aware that this is a condition that I will have for life and will have to avoid flare ups. For when things get back to normal, I would like to know what you guys have found to have worked in your diet. I hear that during a flare up, you go no fiber... and when you're normal, you go high fiber. Please let me know what foods you avoid and what foods work the best for this condition.
Thanks so much for your time.

2024.05.20 06:13 ameliacanlove RNS/sfEMG Results & upcoming appt

Hi folks! To preface: 29F- had sudden onset double vision & slight facial droop, was sent from Urgent Care to a nearby ED for stroke work up in June 2023. Discharged later that day after being cleared & treated for a possible ocular migraine. Was sent to my PCP with instructions to get a referral to a neurologist. In October, neuro discovered extremity weakness & he ordered AChR & MuSK (both negative). MRI of brain results were unremarkable. He sent me to ophthalmology, who sent me to neuro-ophthalmology.
Come March 2024- Only eye issue neuro-opth found indicated that my eyelid muscles are weak. She expressed her high suspicion of MG. Explained SNMG & oMG. An unrelated CT incidentally showed “soft tissue mass in anterior mediastinum” (thymus area). PCP said possible thymoma but admits it’s out of her wheelhouse. Now no one is really addressing it? LPR4 was negative. Lots of blood labs, all normal.
Had a RNS & sfEMG last week, most of which was preformed by an “EMG Tech” & sfEMG by a random neuro. He sent the report saying everything was normal to my neuro-opth who I’ll see this week. I read the results & saw that the RNS of trapezius shows severe amplitude (26%) & area decrement (14%) despite his reporting of a normal study.
Symptoms have progressed to 4+ episodes of vision changes a month, eye droop, can’t smile very well, frequent weakness worse with exercise, & difficulty chewing/swallowing. How do I approach my concerns w/ the report without sounding like I’m fishing for an MG dx? Should I request a repeat run of the AChR & MuSK labs? Or does this sound like we’ve ruled out MG?
Thanks in advance!

Did not appear to have any strobing lights. When Steven signaled to it, the object rose up a little bit and became noticeably brighter, changing from red to white. Also, as that was occurring, I saw a shooting star at about 25° above the Eastern horizon headed North.

10:50pm and two shooting stars just seen in the zenith by Patrick and Steven. Patrick just reported a very brilliant shooting star, shooting from East to West by the Milky Way. It's about 11:00. Patrick said it was the fastest "shooting star" he's ever seen. Just a moment later a second shooting star was seen by Patrick almost parallel to the other. It's just a minute or so after 11:00 and we have just been observing in the SE a very unusual strobing object visible only through the night vision scope, moving very low to the horizon with a rapid strobe to it. We can't see it with the naked eye.

At 11:40pm we had an experience during Coherent Thought Sequencing (CTS) where Steven and I both felt there was something directly over us and at the same time Patrick reported seeing a strobing above us. Steven then felt they were directly behind his head. The hair on the back of his neck stood up. He got up and on the very low Northern horizon was able to see the red-amber colored light.


It's about midnight. We're having an unusual sighting over in the East. We've been watching an object that moved South and then became stationary. Now it looks as if it could be a planet rising. It has a red-amber look to it or the object could be just totally stationary. We did signal to it. It seemed to flare up. It's about 5° above the horizon, directly across from us in the East. This object that we were looking at appeared to have positioned itself in front of either Regel or Betelgeuse in Orion, which that was a part of and is now fully risen and is beautiful in the Eastern sky.

~October 3, 1994:~

We are out at a site East of Roswell. It's just a minute or two before 7:00pm. We're getting something to east. It’s partly cloudy. It’s in the 70s. It looks like it will be fairly clear for most of the night. West. We are directly across from the mountain Capital to the West. To our East there is a vent for a gas well that's burning.

It's 7:50 and in the East towards Midway we are observing some twinkling, strobing type lights. There are two or three of them. They seem to be like the lights described that Mr. Escamillo has on video from Midway. About a minute later, we don't see them at all. Oh, I just saw one flash farther to the East. We are not sure if these could be aircraft or something anomalous. They are dim to bright and white. These white blinking objects have continued on to the East, traveling in the South part of the sky. They are continuing to do strobing and flashing but in no regular pattern. They appear to be chasing each other randomly across the sky, rather slowly.

It's 10:15pm and there is one single white bright light appearing in the South that is signaling back to us. It is very low on the horizon, maybe even on the ground. The object just signaled back twice after a signal sent to it of two flashes. It is in the area of Bottomless Lakes State Park, which is due South of us. It's about 5 or 10 minutes later and this light in the South is again signaling. It's moved just a bit. It moves a bit to the East or the West, but it's still completely low, right on the horizon. We don't know if it's terrestrial or extraterrestrial at this point. It is 10:35 when this signaling has reoccurred again. Steven is now looking at it through the night vision binoculars and he says it is a continuously illuminated object that's on right now, even when it is not signaling to us. It just now flashed again faintly. We will continue to signal to this and report. The sky has also become completely clear except for around the very far edges and just in the East. Through the night vision scope, Patrick is seeing that there is also a corresponding strobing light in the sky about 10° above the horizon that's in synch with the one that's here on the ground. But we cannot see the one in the sky without using the night vision scope.


It's 11:00 and the light across the road in the South by the Bottomless Lakes has just illuminated itself about 5 or 6 times to us. It definitely seems to be under intelligent control. The last round of signaling that's going on now started up just after we broadcast the tones out over the walkie-talkie. It's just a few minutes after 11:00 and Steven saw an extremely fast moving "meteorite" just to the East of zenith. He said it was faster than anything he's ever seen move. Also, it happened to Patrick last night - that same type of extremely fast moving object.

It's 11:55 and we were just hit from behind to our East by some beam that was low and on the ground that swept right across the field encompassing us.


NOTE THAT JUST AS I WAS TRANSCRIBING THIS, I LEARNED THAT THE TAPE IS BLANK FROM THIS POINT ON FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT. VERY INTERESTING IN THAT THE EVENT THAT FOLLOWED WAS VERY UNUSUAL. WHAT FOLLOWS IS MY NARRATIVE REPORT BASED ON RECOLLECTION SINCE THE TAPE HAS BEEN
COMPROMISED. THE BLANK SPOT LASTS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS NIGHT'S DICTATION, THEN PICKS UP AGAIN ON THE FOLLOWING NIGHT'S FIELD DICTATION. I BELIEVE THIS BLANK SPACE IN THE TAPE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE PSYCHOELECTRONIC ATTACK.


Narrative Report:

Soon after this round of light signaling, we did a Coherent Thought Sequencing. I was in a deep state of unbounded mind when I felt my body struck by an invisible beam of negative energy. It caused nearly total paralysis except that my body was wracked with small convulsions from what I sensed to be a psychoelectronic, non-lethal weapon. I could hear myself moaning slowly. I felt that the beam was coming from my left, towards Bottomless Lakes. I sensed three shadowy figures that appeared to be human men. The beam had the effect of separating me from my teammates. Since I only had the faculty of mind at my disposal during the attack, I mentally asked where Patrick and Steven were. I finally could sense Patrick out I front of me, distance away. I could not see or sense Steven. I kept asking mentally, “Where is Steven?” in as authoritative tone as I could manage while under attack. Receiving no response, I began to mentally call to Steven. He must have mentally picked up my thoughts because I felt him take my hands even though he was not there physically. He then hugged me and the attack ended. I sensed that it was our combined energy that was able to break the beam. I then rather passed out for a few minutes.

When our CTS ended, I clearly recalled everything that happened and knew I had not dozed off and had a dream. It was ultimately real. I was still a bit weak from the attack. Steven asked if something happened. I said, "you won't believe this" and proceeded to tell Steven and Patrick most of what occurred. Patrick had been unaware of any of this during our CTS. When I finished, Steven said, "wait until you hear this". During the CTS, he heard a voice that said, "are you ready to go?" He then felt that the energy was instantly scrambled and he lost the connection. He could hear me faintly moaning and sensed that I was in distress. He then came to me etherically and hugged me. The dove tailing of our experiences was incredible. For some days, I pondered on this event. It had a profound effect upon me, and still does to this day. I knew it was highly significant that we were able to break the attack with combined positive energy. I also instinctively and absolutely felt that the attack had come from human beings. I knew that it was not sent by extraterrestrials. The beam carried with it fear and terror which I knew were being projected upon me by an outside force. I did not feel that fear and terror from within my own being, but I was forced to experience it.

We then saw the ground-based lights at Bottomless Lakes flashing randomly again. It was nearly 1:00 by now and we decided to pack up. And drive over there to investigate. As we were in a flat open area, and anyone at Bottomless could have seen us coming for literally a mile. We drove around the Bottomless Lakes State Park, shining our 1.5 million candle power light all about. No traces of anyone or any vehicles were seen. There is a county road that cuts out of Bottomless Lakes which could make for an easy get-away for any one in that park.

2024.05.20 05:56 Legalsandwich Chronic fatigue and other symptoms the day after any activity. Ongoing for 12+ years. No dx.

44y/o white female. 5'6" and 288lbs. Only diagnosis is major depression. Was on Zoloft and Welbutrin for years until recently weaned off Zoloft onto Cymbalta. I try to exercise as much as I can, but it's hard with symptoms.
This has been going on for 12+years. Any time I have a busy day, get a lot of activity, spend time outside, etc. The next day I can barely get out of bed. I have body aches, swollen glands, sore throat, horrible fatigue, and just general overall malaise. The muscle aches are all over and aren't the good kind of ache after exercise. I basically feel like I have the flu. The only thing that helps is sleeping all day. It's almost like I have a latent infection or illness that fares up the next day with any kind of physical activity.
For example, yesterday I helped with some yard work outside, worked on my boat, went and saw friends, and did some housework. Today I could barely walk. My throat hurts, my glands are swollen, I feel inflammation everywhere, body aches, and I slept most of the day.
Even if it's not one of these "bad days" where I feel sick, I'm incredibly tired almost every day and could sleep all day if I allowed myself to.
Multiple blood tests over the past 12 years show consistently elevated platelets, white blood cells count, c reactive protein, and sometimes EFR. Everything else is normal. Normal glucose, hemoglobin, a1c, etc.
Ruled out: sleep apnea, RA, MS, lymes (I live in Wisconsin), ruled out all food intolerances, celiacs, allergies...
No medical provider has been able to give me a diagnosis or any idea what's going on. If anyone has any thoughts that might help, I would very much appreciate it.
Thank you so much.

2024.05.20 05:56 Nervous_Nothing1898 bloating/ not pooping/ but not in pain?

growing up, ive had really normal bowel movements, usually going a bit after each time i eat.
in the past year, everytime i eat, no matter what it is, i always bloat. i started taking digestive enzymes, and at first it helped a bit and i would have slight diarrhea, but now it doesnt seem to make me go after i meal.
i dont feel in pain/ not feeling the need to poop and being constipated, but this bloating is getting worse. in the past few weeks, ive noticed i only poop a tiny amount maybe in the morning and the bloat is just constantly there.
ive never taken laxatives before, is this something that would help the situation?

2024.05.20 05:52 Sea-Tie2305 Calm Mag & Calcium causing bloating and constipation?

I started taking the CALM magnesium with calcium powder last week. I started with one teaspoon as recommended and the next day I started to feel bloated and constipated. This continued for the next four days even as I upped the dose to two teaspoons. Finally I took three teaspoons and had diarrhea. Now after skipping a day and taking activated charcoal I feel better. Is there any reason magnesium would make me feel constipated and bloated? Doesn’t make sense from everything I’ve read about it.

2024.05.20 04:30 Holchin The Vegan Effect: How Your Bowel Movements Might Change

Embarking on a vegan diet often leads to a host of health benefits, including changes in bowel movements. Here’s a glimpse into what you might experience:
Increased Fiber Intake: Plant-based diets are typically rich in fiber, thanks to fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. This uptick in fiber can promote regularity and softer stools, making bowel movements smoother and more effortless.
More Frequent Movements: With the influx of fiber, you might find yourself making more trips to the bathroom. Don’t be alarmed; this is just your body adjusting to the increased volume of plant-based foods. Over time, your digestive system will adapt, and bowel movements may become more regular.
Improved Consistency: Vegan diets often lead to firmer, well-formed stools due to the high fiber content. This can be a welcome change for those who previously struggled with loose stools or constipation.
Less Odor: Plant-based diets tend to produce less pungent-smelling bowel movements compared to diets high in animal products. This can be attributed to the absence of certain compounds found in animal-derived foods that contribute to strong odors.
Potential Gas and Bloating: While fiber is fantastic for digestive health, it can also cause gas and bloating, especially when transitioning to a vegan diet. As your gut microbiome adjusts to the new influx of fiber-rich foods, temporary discomfort like gas and bloating may occur but usually subsides as your body adapts.
Transitioning to a vegan diet can lead to positive changes in bowel movements, including increased frequency, improved consistency, and reduced odor. Embracing these changes as part of your journey toward better health is key, and remember to stay hydrated and consume a variety of plant-based foods for optimal digestive function.

2024.05.20 04:22 TheTashinator Mistakes were made

So I’m not sure how familiar everyone is when it comes to wegovy, but if you don’t know, wegovy is a weight loss injection that suppresses appetite and slows down digestion so you feel fuller for longer, which is grand. However it comes with side effects, most common being n/v.
So I’ve been on it for about 3-4 months, I knew there was a chance it would set me off, but honestly I hated being overweight so much, I wanted to try anything (have done everything else, it never sticks)
Now I noticed that on my current dose, if I’m not careful, and eat too much/too close to bedtime, the food in my stomach takes forever to digest and leaves me feeling nauseous all night.
I managed to avoid doing that, until today. Today was my cheat day and I got it in my head that I have to eat as much of the junk I bought as possible. Normally I stop eating by 5-6pm, NOPE, I was bloated and full but just had to keep nibbling my snacks until 10pm, because I can’t help myself.
So I just woke up (it’s 3am) and yep, my stomach feels awful, I can feel the food weighing it down still, and it aches and I feel n*.
I do think the n* is mostly anxiety, but unfortunately the anxiety won’t go away until the annoying still full sensation does.
Which again is my own damn fault. Sometimes I wish I had more self preservation, like why did I do this to myself?
I have been managing to fart some of the discomfort away (tmi sorry, I don’t know if anyone else does this or is this just me?)
But yeah if anyone is awake and able to talk to distract me, id be very grateful.

2024.05.20 04:14 No-Category3502 Has anybody else had a horrible experience with seed probiotics?

I had seen the advertising and fell for the nice packaging(dumbdumb)and decided to try it. Only a few weeks into use I started experiencing horrible constipation and bloating before seed I would have a bowel movement after every meal and slowly but surely I ended up having none at all for days on end has anybody else had a bad experience with seed?

Temps contradict OPKs
First positive OPK CD 12 Peak OPK CD 13 ~9am Ovulation pain from CD13 PM
I generally ovulate the evening of my peak. But I’ve never had the temp rise before positive OPK.
Still slightly EWCM this morning but heading towards creamy.
I’ve been sleeping pretty average all month so wondering if that’s the culprit for the BBT chaos

2024.05.20 03:57 Historical_Order_625 Micronized progesterone question

I just ovulated Friday and started micronized progesterone. I started the 100mg on Friday. I was bloated Saturday and didn’t have a bowel movement (not a big deal…but I have SIBO and need to be sure I’m moving my bowels every day). Is this normal to be bloated and constipated from one dose? And, does it go away (is there an adjustment period)?

2024.05.20 02:40 blottymary Tips on how to safely exercise after healing from blood patch?

TL;DR: What was your process for getting back into shape/reconditioning once you were recovered from your patch?
I had my second blood patch a month ago now and I feel that it’s safe for me to increase my time upright.
I’m spending spurts of ~2 hrs tops at my desk, eating meals at the table, showering, brushing my teeth standing up, doing small chores like dishes and small loads of laundry.
Besides the deconditioning and aching/pain in my postural muscles I don’t find myself having any concerning symptoms.
That being said, I’m a bit more fragile than some patients because I have hEDS and my first blood patch failed after 2.5 months. I was a bit careless the first time and likely went back to my active lifestyle too soon.
When I say “active lifestyle” I mean going to an EDS aware physical therapist who had me doing the lowest setting on recumbent bike for 5 minutes, some exercises with bands, and when I felt strong enough I tried to do the nautilus machines without any weight. The leak symptoms came back after I had been exercising for one month (gradually over a week’s time).
What I’m struggling with is making the right call for how hard to push myself. If I’m going to make the effort to exercise I want to get some physical benefit out of it that will aid me in my recovery.
This time around I’ve gone on 3 short walks (~5 minutes each) spread out over 2 days in between. I’ve noticed some shortness of breath, feeling like I can’t take a deep enough breath, and possibly some wheezing. (I’m going to my PCP ASAP about this).
My heart rate doesn’t really get that high (my average is 65 bpm and my highest I got was 88 bpm for 1 minute) and that makes me wonder if it’s even beneficial to bother because I’m not getting up to my peak heart rate.
Help?

2024.05.20 02:35 Electrikslider Where to begin?

How does one “heal” their gut without going to extremes with diet? I am convinced so much of my vague health symptoms would improve if I had a healthy gut but I honestly don’t know where to begin. There’s so much information to consume, so many supplements, herbs, restrictive diets…it’s overwhelming.
I digest things verrrrrrry slowly. Very slowly. I can go days without evacuating but even if I feel “regular” it’s not today’s or even yesterday’s food, it’s last week’s food that’s being released. How do I know this? The beet test. I will eat a bunch of beets and not see the coloring until several days later. I bloat badly, I get very tired after eating, muscle fatigue, TERRIBLE memory/brain fog, brittle nails, periods of chronic fatigue, the list goes on. I’ve had issues with constipation since I was a child.
I know much of our health begins in our gut and I take probiotics and eat pre-biotic foods but nothing much changes. How can a person kick-start gut healing in a way that actually gets results?
For the record, I’ve brought all these issues up with my doctor and have never gotten anywhere with solving them. Thyroid and blood tests all normal.

2024.05.20 02:23 baskaaa188 i'm losing my mind

i just need to get this out of my chest.
i'm tired. it's been 4 months (i know for a lot of ur pain and experience it's nothing, but with my prognosis i feel like it's eternity) after my 2 AP attacks which were within 1 week back then and to add to that i had gastritis at the same time. everyday pain like pressure and stabbing, mainly in the morning and after eating, sometimes cramps, primary in pancreas and gallbladder area where i feel discomfort 24/7 btw from the day no.1 but my whole stomach is very sensitive now and i'm bloated all the time. Day to day i feel like imma trow up. extreme fatigue, my whole body hurts, muscles, joints and bones too. probably because i eat like 1000kcal and max 36g of fat a day, if i eat more pain is back in the town yay. hah and funny thing no gluten, no lactose, no to a looot of things for me, my body don't tolerate it very well. for example today i tried small banana, boom stabbing pain (not the pain like i'm about to die but still not pleasant AT ALL) so only fruit i have eaten is compote peach, it's my savior fr.
I found new GI specialist in private clinic, for europe countries it's a little bit pricey thing, she done another round of tests (thank god) and i'm waiting and waiting and i'm loosing my mind from it. So far i have diagnosis from other doctors for AP + reflux gastritis + lot of gall in gallblader + 2 small polyps in gallbladder and pancreas divisum. New GI told me that it surely can't be problematic divisum, she would go the way it is IBD or Sibo (which i understad, she needs to cover up "basics") and even tho she was professional and kind, i thing that she thinks it's in my head probably.. like my boyfriend, my family his family thinks too. my pain is real. i'm frustrated that i have to advocate for myself in this context.
on the other hand, except for my mental condition i have anxiety about other things. i'm still out of work. at this point i'm looking for something new, less stressful and physical, which ironically makes me more stressed now. probably because i'm going to new enviroment and collective but mainly it's because it'll be so hard financially. And also my career will go downhill. Also with my bf of 5 years we are considering to split up. we love eachother, but i feel like my health state wears him out and makes him depressed which i don't want at all, he would like to help me sonehow but he don't know what to do so it makes him feel desperate and also the financal state of things, we are renting a place together for 3 years, we were splitting bills and buying stuff together, we have a cat... what we'll do in future?! i do not know. my mental state is getting bad again after quite calm few years, but now i'm st my lowest maybe ever? idk. i don't even know if i should post this. i would probably rather scream this out loud but it's 2:18am here, so no good idea.
thanks for yout time it you made it here and maybe my whole point of this nonsence monolouge of post is that PANCREATITIS SUCKS! hope everyone well. that's all thanks.
sorry for my bad english, it's not my mother tounge.
