  0 0 it's only a little bit more trouble to split the pod with a thumbnail and partially open it. drop one or two in a pot of rice or in hot milk for chai or in soup or... as fnarf advises, eat/drink around them or fish them out. Valkyrie commented about 1 year ago

  0 0 re: wanting a cure, i think a person's answer to that question would depend on how much they were suffering and how much "meaning" they ascribed to that suffering. i've suffered a lot, and i know many others who've suffered more. i view the suffering from mental illness as a scourge on the human experience. my own illnesses are very well treated right now, but if i knew of a procedure that would allow me to live drug-free i would certainly want to give it a closer look.

  0 0 a doctor prescribed valtrex just in case? which he took for a month just in case? that seems unlikely to me. and if he was taking an anti-viral and didn't have any symptoms of an initial outbreak, how would he know if he had it or not? did he get the blood test (there is one)? how smart is this guy? is it possible he's just really confused? if you still want to have sex with him, you can send him back to the doctor and get an ongoing Rx for valtrex, to somewhat lessen that he'll pass on any kind of herpes to you. yes also to the latex barriers. tell him it's "just in case".

  I would love to hear your thoughts on heterosexual polyamory.

  1 0 remember when all the feminists were saying that monogamy was a raw deal for women? it seems to me that doing polyamory lovingly and honestly is no easier than doing monogamy lovingly and honestly. many of the pitfalls are the same: poor communication, poor self-knowledge, poor impulse control, and basic incompatibility. the genders and orientations of the participants are probably the least important factors in whether or not the relationship will work. maybe poly just isn't for you. that's totally okay.

  0 0 yes to cranberry and d-mannose! woo! when my doctor initially prescribed the daily low-dose nitrofurantoin, i asked her about the possibility of developing resistance. she told me that the bacteria that cause UTIs have usually migrated from the anus to the urethra, and that the way nitrofurantoin was processed by the body (almost all of it goes directly from the bloodstream to the kidneys and down the drain) meant that it wouldn't affect any of the normal places where bacteria should be breeding. so theoretically no die-off, no resistance, no yeast overgrowth, etc. BUT: there's still the inevitability that traces of antibiotics flushed down our toilets will reach rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans, and cause the same imbalances there that they don't cause in our bodies. so there's that.

  My poor uretha

  1 0 i also tend to get UTIs (almost) every time i have sex. i did low-dose prophylactic antibiotic for a while, which worked great. it's supposed to be hard on your kidneys, though. i discovered later that i could use a cranberry supplement the same way: one pill a day, every day, keeps the UTI away. i discovered still later (probably 6 or 7 years after i first started having problems) that 2,000mg of vitamin C per day worked, too. the vitamin C makes your urine more acidic (the body can't use that much C all at once, so the rest goes down the drain), and the bacteria can't survive in that environment. all three methods worked equally well; the vitamin C was the cheapest. i took two 1,000mg tabs, one at breakfast and one at dinner. for what it's worth, my mom also had a problem with UTIs when she was younger, so whatever the cause, it's probably something i inherited.
