aww, well pain is pain. You can vent about anything you want ~

Do you not need physicals? I haven't been to one in a couple of years.
I need to, especially since I moved. I'm running out of whats left of my last refills for the female stuff.

The pain free days are welcome! <3

I know... they have butterfly needles. Idkw they don't use them more???
They just have to use the semi-largest one and go for the smallest vein and its like "WHAT DID I DO TO YOU TO TORTURE ME?"

When I got my wisdom teeth out at 11/12yr, when they put the needles in - I started crying. And the doctor started injecting the anesthesia and he's like "You have to talk to me, I need to know if you're okay." and I blacked out crying. And then woke up in the car, I yelled and blood came out of my mouth. After that it's hazy, I don't remember much on the car ride home xD

@ salvy; yes, she was. but I think she was old enough to have hit menopause?
She was like 40ish? I just assume because it's like she didn't understand crap.

yeah, I know some people are squeamish or judge you for that. Like, I don't mind someone telling me hey, not right now. But if they get assey about it, it's annoying. I don't like it when people give me attitude about that, or act like I'm some terrible person for being honest about stuff. Everyone does it, no need to be shy! It's especially better to have an SO that doesn't give a fuck about that stuff, because then you don't have to worry or deal with them calling you gross.

It's not that I don't NEED them, I just haven't been to a doctor of any kind in YEARS because of money issues. I was a little kid when I last went, and now I am in my later teen years. I usually take tylenol because we don't normally get main brand Midol. I took walmart brand Midol for a while, and it fucked me up badly one time so i stopped taking it. Like, I took it then ate a yogurt and redvelvet cupcake (like the little debbie cupcakes) and it made me soooo sick. I ended up puking, and was in so much pain. It was the WORST. One of my worst periods, besides the one where I was writhing in pain on the couch, fell asleep, and then woke up and people ate most of the pizza. e _ e

oH MY GOD WHY. NEEDLES ARE NOT CATS, THEY DO NOT GO BY THE POLICY OF "IF IT FITS, IT SITS". THAT IS RIDICULOUS, WHYYYY!

Jesus! That's horrible ; ; I have like a very prominent overbite in the sense that my front teeth stick out past my mouth a bit (like a bunny's!), so if I want to take care of that, idk what I have to do besides braces but I heard from my mom they might break my jaw to fix my over bite and like- DENTAL STUFF IS SCARY TBH. THE FACT THEY WANT TO JAB YOU WITH GIANT NEEDLES IN YOUR MOUTH...I just- wHY.

tl;dr:
mEDICAL SHIT IS SCARY AND PERIODS SUCK. KILL MI. AND DON'T JUDGE ME OR BE AN ASS.

Sometimes they use a big needle so that they can collect enough blood in a shorter time.

While that makes sense, either make it numb/lube the entrance to ease the pain or just...mAKE IT LESS PAINFUL SOME OTHER WAY.

I don't know the answer to that

It's okay. Just remember, don't forget to lube up well and wear condoms. Dental dams are a thing too!
#Protection

How did we get from needles to dental dams

Me. That's how.

Sometimes I wonder if those kinds of jokes are made more by sexually active people or non sexually active people

The world may never know. Or will. We'll see. LOL

haha well I know both do

Mhm~ Some peeps just enjoy the humor even if they don't partake in such activities.

yes that is true

Mhhhm~ sure is, darlin. 8)

*nods in agreement*

So what are you up to, dear?

I am typing on Menewsha and watching a music video at the moment. But I will go offline to study for a bit soon.

Ohhh okays! noice~ wutcha gonna study? 8D

just stuff for school is all

Ohh okays. Figured as much! anything interesting, at least?

We were supposed to have swimming classes back in middle/high school but then there was something wrong with the swimming pool that we were supposed to be using for those swimming classes. So, we ended up not having any swimming classes. Like ever. It was just our grade. The grade before us got to swim, and the grade after us got to swim because the issue with the pool was resolved by the time they started. I learned to swim via outside classes, not in school.

aww
I kinda didn't know we were earning anything until I read the announcement after a couple of days.

It must've been a leak or mold or something serious. That really sucks. I mean, swimming is fun when you're okay and can do it. But it is less stressful to learn how to swim outside of school ^^

The pool we swam in was for both the MS/HS to use, especially the Swim team. It was the only school that I went to that had it's own swim-pool. The other school that I went to before had to use the HS swim-pool, which was across town.

yep. I mean, it's not like they don't know what it's like? But if you're the one telling it like it is, then they look at you like you're a freak/crazy and are disgusted with you.

oh, okedokeys! It's same for me. I haven't had medical insurance either until like, this year. xDD I have started searching for a doctor and it's hard because there are reviews about some of them that aren't good or nice. And I need to find a day I can go but idk how much it's going to be to see one.

Tylenol is good if your body is tired or sore from working out but yeah, it can be bad for some people. have you tried aleeve (however you spell that) or Advil? I'm not sure if they will work any better. I know I can't take aleeve because it makes my lower body go numb.

awh I'm so sorry!
I would've thrown a tantrum with the pizza being eaten without me xD

I know!!
Especially the thing they do to try and distract you... They rub the skin with the needle underneath it to lesson the pain? IT MAKES IT EVEN WORSE. It's like rubbing salt in the wound, cept they are moving a sharp knife-like tool around in your vein... *bricked*

Not as bad as my two oral surgeries I needed because of a dentists overzealous use of glue and a tooth cap of my baby tooth. lol

awh, that sounds so precious!! I love bunnies <3

My brother and I had a lil overbite. We got retainers before but idk how but we lost them when we moved? Then later on, we got braces. I can tell you... braces are hell. Taking them off is worse (besides the tooth/chain thing I had to go through). They have to use rubber ended pliers and clamp onto the square thingies and crunch them to break up the glue they use to glue them on your teeth - to remove them.

I totally agree!

well, all you need in life is a sick mind and someone to share it with!
^ I had a shirt that said that my mom got me from Hottopic before it went from punk to POP.

I totally agree!

Which is so stupid! Like, in certain situations I understand, and if someone has a weak stomach, fair enough. But like treating someone like shit
(hurhur, pun) for it just isn't right. Shaming like that just irks me. Plus, I hate body and sex shaming too, so. It's easier to just be frank sometimes, too. Rather than put it gently at times.

Haha, yeah! finding the right doctors can be hard, I know. @.@ Especially if you have special conditions or something you need a specialist for. Finding good specialists can even be hard, because some doctors are just shit or stupid! And then money is a big issue. -siiigh- Honestly, we should just make like canada and make healthcare free and just raise taxes. @__@ If we have a living wage, it'd be so much easier!

yeah, I know tylenol isn't really good for your periods. it's better to get Midol or pamprin because they specifically are made for that, plus have other things that help with period symptoms such as bloating and even irritability. It depends on which one you get. It's just a matter of REMEMBERING to get them. I have not tried aleve, though! or Advil O: Might have to see if that'd work!

IKR? That's what upset me most! XD i was laying there SUFFERING and those hoes ate up the pizza! Well, my grandma was likely the biggest culprit for that. She does that, LOL.

Oh jeez NO. You don't move around or mess with the skin when you get a shot DX that makes it wooorrseee! STUPID PEOPLE XP It's nice they tri, but it's futile f their tries just make it..worse! @__@

Haha, I hope it is. xD I've been told it's cute, but I've also had negative comments steered towards my teeth, so I'm not really a fan of my teeth personally. It's just better to compare them to a bunny them pt myself down about it.

Aw ye, I'm not alone!
AND BRACES- UGH. I don't want. I want invisiline if i were to ever get anything remotely like braces. ; ; I know braces are awful and I just don't want to deal with the pain or lisp. I talk really fast as it is, I don't need something making my speech worse. x u x 10/10 would not recommend!

Mhmm! Well, if I have anything really mean to say. I just talk to the person beside me.
I don't feel like shouting anything where everyone can hear it, unless its deserved.

A specialist...ohmy. I can't imagine what price they charge for their services. I know it was 70$/100$ to visit the doctor lady I had before for my prescription and I only saw her once a year? I stay away from activities that can end up to stupid accidents and etc. Especially any school things. My brother didn't, though. We lost our health insurance once Obama went into office, so, our mom told us to not do things that would put us into debt.

Is it really worth it being free? (Idk how it functions) Cause I would think you only get the basic medicine to help with all procedures and the better medicine will still cost money to pay for? My moms Russian ex bf went back to Russia to get his teeth done and they didn't use any strong pain killer, yet it was free. Which I would've screamed...

Okedokeys! I never took midol, so I'm not sure about how it works. lol

Yeah, it's best to try! I was told to switch between Advil/Tylenol for headaches because it's not good just taking one?
I mean, both of them have the same side affects and I've always taken Tylenol.

lmao aww! <3
My brother has always been the one to eat everything in the house, especially when mom always got pizza for fridays/saturdays. I don't know how a boy can so much... Even when he tells her to not buy pizza that he won't eat it anymore, he eats it all! It's like sdfskjflksdfj;;;

yesyesyes!

I don't get why they do that, even when its in your mouth its worse because they're pulling the skin around the needle.
I was told needles felt like a bee sting and I've had bee stings - it's nothing alike. :T

There you go ~ it's better to take the high road for yourself. Otherwise it just eats at you.
There's enough things in the world to be depressed for without making more xD*

haha, well they did work! My teeth are all settled in. I'm not sure how well the invisiline works? I have to wear clear ones like retainers, to keep my teeth where they are. The bottom piece kinda broke and I have to put the broken piece on with the other half. They cost $100 for the top and $100 for the bottom to replace. *sigh*

I think the lisp only happens if you get the ones with the metal bars??? They just make your mouth really raw/chaffed. You can't chew gum (I did and it p.o'd my orthodontist, lol). And when they re-tighten the bands, your teeth ache and you don't want to talk/eat.

Even with my teeth fixed, I slur on my words regardless. xDD

Yeah, it's better to talk to people about some things in private rather than in public. Some things just don't need to be publicly said.

Oh jeez, yeah. They ain't cheap! Doctors aren't exactly cheap in general though. @__@ I can understand why she said that though, because it would suck ASS if you guys got really hurt and then were barely able to afford anything because of expensive ass medical bills. x.x

When it comes to free healthcare, I don't know ALL of the deets, but it /sounds/ like it might be better. I do know from what I've heard that I thiiink America just has really shitty health care. other countries in Europe do it so much better, like many other things apparently, so. America just needs a lotta work, that's fo sho!

I don't know all the details for Midol, but I know for Pamprin it helps with bloating and the..other thing I listed by forget and am too lazy to check my post for, LOL. As for switching with Tylenol, I'm thinking that's because taking one too often could possibly pose a risk to your...liver? I'm not sure of all of the long term side affects, really. I just know some shit can be bad if you are not careful! Medication in general though can be really risky, so. x.x It's just a matter of balancing it out, with most things with/for humans.

Tbh I am suuuuch a snacker, but i get so mad when my gran eats a lotta shit, lmfao. Then again, my gran in general just bothers me. xD But I know that feel! Some people are just like vacuum cleaners! it can be amazing, really. o.o Wish i could snack and snack and snack and not gain a buncha weight.

Huh. It's been so long, and I've never been stung by a bee, so I couldn't tel ya or agree/disagree with ya. My mom is allergic to bee stings though, fun fact. O: And penicillin!

BLEH. SO GROSS. MUCH OUCH. VERY FUCK. DX

But yeah, it's much better to be kinder towards oneself than critical. Saying nice things to yourself and complimenting yourself helps build up confidence (it's been proven) so. :)

it works by..doing...stuff. Yes. xD It's been so long since I fucking saw a commercial for it, oml. otherwise I'd explain away, . I just want an easier, not so painful way to fix my shit. ; ;

oh jeez. When do you have to get metal bars?? if ur teeth are really fucked?
OH, my mom was an eighties child, right? She had a LOT of teeth issues, even had double row of teeth like a sharks because her adult teeth didn't push out her baby teeth! So she had to get big bulky teeth gear to fix her shit. @.@ Her teeth stuff was a nightmare, really.
And we have asian teeth apparently. I looked at my asian friend's teeth, and it's honestly true. @.@ Sounds weird, but it's a thing!

LOL
If you ever wanna piss off yer teeth doctah, chew some gum! XD

Yeppers!

Most definitely not... I think she took pity on me? I didn't have health insurance and she kinda compromised with it being 70$ for the check-up. I can't imagine how much it is now for a check-up or a physical. So, I try to not do anything that can wind me up in the hospital. The only major accident I've ever had was when my cousin elbowed me in the middle of my chest and my sternum cracking then shattering.

If its free for everything, including the good stuff - I'm for it! I'm just worried about them not using the good stuff.
Like, it'd function like a "Dollar Tree" "Dollar Store" "Dollar General" - cheap things usually aren't durable things. xD

I heard social security was on the brink of disappearing??? Medical is the biggest tax pothole for them.
I think that's one of the reasons for what Obama wanted to reform for.

Oh, the more you know! lol Thank you ~ u ~
There is durex pills that takes away bloating/water weight. You have to be careful with the ones that have caffeine, though. It can make you feel sick, if you want to take more than 1. But yeah, you're right. It's either the liver or kidney + liver they can attack.

Medicine is definitely a gamble! My mom and her family is all allergic to penicillin too
To be safe - she told us that we should stay away from it and anything with "cillin" in it.

Exactly!!

I try to the same but I get swallowed in the negatives more myself xD;

ah. They advertise it even in the dentist office too with the teeth whitening stuff.
I haven't seen a commercial for the clear braces in a long time, though. But they also use them for retainers!

I prefer the clear retainers rather than the former because the metal bars on them made your gums/teeth sore.
And a lot of spit collected on top of the ^ top one, which was gross

I'm not sure... I saw a couple of kids have the metal bar ones and they had to put a lot of wax on them, otherwise, it pinched the inside of their cheeks. I was very glad that I didn't get them when I got mine. They just replaced the rubber when they retightened/adjusted your teeth and you get to choose what color you wanted. I switched between red/blue/purple/hot pink xD

Ohwow, your poor mom! I'm so sorry to hear that ; #;
Was it the metal headgear braces she had to wear??? I've only saw those things in old movies, lmao

I'm sooo happy technology has advanced braces!

You have similar teeth to asians? That is weird but interesting ~

I had to keep my stomach at bay!
I stopped eating food at school and had to wait 8hrs to eat. It just didn't help with me trying to lose weight and I rather eat the food we had at home rather than the food at school anyway. And when it stopped being free for me to get food - I didn't think the price was worth on how the food tasted/looked. I kinda did the same thing with the bathroom for a while because the girls at my school were DISGUSTING ANIMALS! They didn't flush most times, there were nasty surprises and the stench... amg.

I thought boys were supposed to be worse ones in the bathroom cleanup...

Well, that's good honestly! That she took pitty Easier on your wallet, hahah. Yeah, same here. My mom is covered by the VA, as well as my grandma too I think, but if i were to get hurt..@_@ we'd be kinda screwed! Dx But dAAAMNN! HOW THE FUCK HARD DID THEY SMASH INTO YOUR RIB THINGY?? LIKE?? OH MY GOD DX THAT HAD TO FUCKING HURT. jeeessuusssss xP

I think they'd only do that if budget was like, reaaallly small and they had no choice, but I have no clue! and i think one of the biggest things they spend on the budget is actually the military. Our military has sooo much money sunk into it and has the largest budget, when I'm thinking it should be put into taking care of citizens and schooling! @.@ Military may be important, but there are other important things, too!

Oh god, caffeine in pills /kill/ me. That's why the walmart brand midol killed me! I didnt eat something in time, so it made me sick that one time. The other times I didn't eat with them, it made me dizzy and just ugh. x.x So yeah, if they have caffeine, you gotta eat before you take them else you'll get sick or be light headed.

Medicine can be quite scary, especially if there's a possibility you could have an allergic reaction to it. It can REALLY mess you up. x.x

I know the feeling hun! Dx

I'd rather have a pain free and comfortable version to all of them! Lord have mercy. xP
I already have enough gum pain as it is. Because my lower row of teeth sits more in, it rests on the roof of my mouth and if that gets swollen or sore it can be so painful to rest my teefers there. ; ;

And yes! i think she did have to wear a bulky headpiece, though nothing absolutely huge. I'm pretty sure she has teeth horror stories.

PUBLIC BATHROOMS. ARE. THE. WORST. PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW TO FUCKING WIPE THEIR GODDAMN SEAT AFTER THEY TAKE A PISS. I AVOID USING PUBLIC RESTROOMS IF I CAN HELP IT. Lord of mercy- Women leave their period shit in public bathrooms too and it's sO GROSS. -shudders- So i DO NOT blame you for not wanting to use a nasty ass school bathroom. I couldn't hold it for that long, but I know the pain of not wanting to deal with that buuuulll shiiittt.

Honestly, I wouldnt be surprised if it wasnt as bad in the mensroom. As long as they don't take a shit in the urinal, it's likely not nearly as bad. lmfao
