i'm a lot more lactose intolerant than i'm willing to admit

I can relate to this... gf made cheesy hashbrown casserole the other night, loaded with cheese and sour cream and beef... it was delicious and i ate a fuck ton, but later in the evening my body hated me for ingesting so much cheese

I was diagnosed with splayfeet ~2months ago and got inlays for my shoes. They told me to wait 5-6 weeks until my feet had adapted to them, before I could go running again. That would´ve been two weeks ago, buut right on time (with the beginning of spring...) I got an ingrown toenail and after two weeks of treating it with Iodine I had to have surgery. And the reason for all of this: shoes

Ugh I know how you feel... I had this a couple years back when I was 19 I think. But I let it get so bad that all four edges of my big toes were f'ed up really bad and I had to have surgery too. =(

had this before when I was 13-14 on the same toe, now they took care of the oder side of the nail.. I have a rather small toe nail now on my big left toe.

Ingrowing toe nails are the worst thing ever. I was meant to have an operation when I got them on both my big toes at 11, but because I was somehow put on a two year waiting list they had to remove the roots and I now have no toenails on either of my big toes

i too am a man missing part of his toe nail. i think we need to start a club.

remove the other 8 and you can become an ultramarathon runner.

The removed part of my roots, but the whole thing? ouch, that sucks.

yepp, i had my big toes ingrown as well. the dr. took my left nail off completely and i kinda wish he would have done the same to my right for symmetry. the surgery was HORRIBLE, dr. had to stab my toes with a needle and was aiming for the nerves.. i was swearing my head off the whole time

my doc numbed up my toe, clipped the ingrown nail, then dipped a stick in some kinda paste then rammed it up under my nail. the paste then burned away the nail bed. it actually didnt hurt as bad as it sounds, the ingrown nail actually hurt more than the procedure.

thats horrible, its like i can almost feel it in my big toes just thinking about it

You all weren't put under general anaesthetic? Holy crap I can't imagine how painful that was, I just remember how much pain I was in when they had to squeeze the blood back into the toe after bandaging off the flow for 24 hours. I stayed silent the whole time but holy shit that on its own was near close to death.

So, missing toenails for most IDM 2014?

There was a guy on 420 who just yelled "WOOOOO!" every 10 seconds for literally the whole day.

The shots at the beginning are the worst yes...they ended up giving me the double dosage(=2x2shots) because the front of my toe still wasn´t numb, it was blown up like a balloon lol

I had 3 nurses pinching me with pencils/scissors one after another.. I still felt more than I wanted to, but the surgery was over in <5min, so I just counted dots on the wall to keep my mind busy..

Yeah this was probably us putting our toes with no nail together in a hexagon, hoping a new 6 digit number would suddenly appear across our deformed digits. Sorry about that.

I got pretty sick in India and had to get hooked up to an IV with antibiotics in my hotel bedroom. Which only cost about $60 USD including all the pills and the doctor visit.

Then, a few days later, I had to see another Indian doc because I kept getting numb and dizzy.

Turns out I have high blood pressure. He prescribed me some antihypertensives, and again the whole process was dirt cheap (pills maybe $5).

I'm back in the states and my hands and face keep going numb and tingly. I don't have health insurance. I can't afford to see a doctor in this country.

I think one of my front lower teeth is loose and wants to come out, but it's being held in place by a metal wire/cement that's connected to it's equivalent tooth on the other side. It hurts like a bitch if I'm chewing something tough on it. I dreamt last night that it fell out, along with the one beside it shortly after, and became convinced that wire was the only thing holding my bottom teeth in place. Woke up relieved that it was only a dream, but then remembered I still had a potentially major tooth problem in reality. Any time I hear about someone visiting the dentist to any procedure done it usually costs them over a grand. Fuck that.

But the above FWPs sound worse, and I really hope ingrown toenails wins most IDM 2014. It'll probably just be something nerdy instead.

I've been doing this thing where I put everything I fancy, music wise, into a spreadsheet and head down it buying a few everynow and then. Now I have a huge list which will take me ages to reach the bottom of. Every time I purchase more gets added. It seems like I'll never buy an album soon after release. I seem to be sticking to my ordered list strictly. Is that OCD?

Only if you buy it because it's on the list and not because you genuinely want it. Lists can be cool ways of solidifying intentions.

my hair's thinning near the crown. fuck.

I've had the same problem the past two years or so. I've just taken to shaving my entire head with a 3mm attachment as a solution. Helps blend it in better that way I think.

Why are you taking medicine to fix a diet and lifestyle problem?

Because I had no issues until I got diarrhea and became dehydrated despite drinking ORS and water and it was only a five day course of meds anyway? My bp was fine three weeks ago (when I still had insurance). Jeez mom, I've been watching what I eat and trying to exercise and I don't smoke and I barely drink anymore.

The FWP is that a doctor in the states could help me monitor shit and rule out other (more/less serious) things re the numbness and I can't afford a 10 minute checkup.

My only real pal at work is leaving to move back up north and spend time with a sick elderly relative. He's definitely made the right decision, but I'll miss having someone to talk to.

Plus I'm going to have to help train his replacement, meaning more work for no extra reward.

It's almost 4AM and I need to get up at 10:30am to follow up on what I told my friend I'd do, and my bed is another 40 minutes away, minimum. That particular combination is totally not in sync with my lifestyle. And I need to eat something substantial ASAP. Damn damn DAMN.
