Any other glasses wearers that after the septoplasty have glasses digging into your nose harder on one side than the other?

When you have autoimmune and rheumatic conditions, went for a surgery that should help, but got the flu on top of already feeling miserable daily and feeling miserable because of the surgery. And your (also chronically ill) mother in law surprises you with some snacks and a good book...

Have you been officially diagnosed with IBS?

Im sick of hearing this, anyone else?

Day 5 post op

I have no intention to rekindle the lost relationship with my best friend of 12 years, but please help me make sense of this.

Can I (29F) have side effects from codeine/morphine that are not in the list of known side effects? More information below.

The two sides of chronic illness: getting told you have a low pain tolerance cause of a cold (that was a 14 day string of migraines). Then another moment when you quickly and jokingly mention that the opioid meds made you unable to swallow a couple of times, it turns out to be anaphylactic shock...

The elementary school Trauma :(

Being Replaced or Friends getting bored of me

Just had a surgery for my septum deviation. They put me on an IV and put oxygen on my face through a mask. The anesthesiologist told me she would first put some morphine through the IV that could make me dizzy. Then open the sedation gas and I had to count until I was out. Punchline below

I wish I could tell you, that it hurts like hell, but it's heaven without you

Rheumatoid back pain versus mechanical back pain?

First MRI

Within 24 hours of taking hyrimoz you’re telling me THIS IS HOW PEOPLE SUPPOSE TO FEEL?!?

The moment you describe the group chat as 'a chat bot would have more emotional intelligence' to an outsider when your husband is not there, and the first thing he does after reading the group chat is saying 'a conversation with AI would have more personal meaning', you know it's time to get out...

Knowing it was the right thing to leave a friendship behind is one thing. Not being anyone's number 1 in a friendship way is something completely else though...

Does some exercise make it worse?

MRI booked for Monday

Question:

Doctors won't give me my meds back

Anyone have severe white coat syndrome?

Anyone else choosing specific hospital books? Like, I want something comfy, but I also don't want to take anything from my actual TBR because I don't want to link those books to a possible negative or at least stressful hospital visit.

Rheum sent me on my way without alternative treatment because he thought it must just be a mechanical issue and put the AS diagnosis up for debate again. I just went to the physiotherapist he referred me to, and she was like 'you execute every exercise perfectly, no strength issue, no form issue.'

Getting so tired of rheum telling me I don't seem to be in so much pain, and how bad can it really be for a young person. While every other kind of doctor has been stunned by how calm I stay under painful procedures that would have someone else begging for sedation or painkillers.
