If this is a femboy then it’s SFW.

If this is a woman then it’s NSFW.

I don’t make the rules.

[-] tubaruco@lemm.ee 50 points 7 months ago

ive seen women wear less when going to school, should i mark them nsfw?

[-] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 35 points 7 months ago

Nah, I'm sure the principal is already ~~spanking~~ reprimanding them for distracting the boys and teachers with their "hot underage bodies."

Still came either way

I had this happen to me last year (kidney stone). Holy shitballs on crutches. It was the most pain I have ever been in. And I have had all sorts of injuries and surgeries. This topped it all by far far far. I actually passed out from the pain. I was in the ER with pain managing medication for about 6 hours and then 1 minutes to the next gone. Not like oh it's receding... Gone like it was never there. And I felt 100% fine after. I felt embarrassed because I still had a bunch of doctors looking out for me and I was fine.

Oh and if you are a human with balls, the pain also radiates to this zone and it feels like someone is kicking you in the balls repeatedly with no rest between kicks. It suuuuucks.

And before you say 'feels like labor' naaaah I talked to several moms who have had many kids and they also agree. This is waaay worse.

[-] improbablypoopingrn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Its legit no joke.. I went in to the ER with a 'no narcotics' mindset as I was just over 3 years sober.. The nurses knew it was kidney stones immediatley and literally laughed in my face, albeit nicely, when I said 'no narcotics'. They advised I take the narcotics.

I took the non narcotic option and fast forward 30 minutes... The pain was so bad I just threw up in my lap mid sentence and passed out right infront of my partner and two nurses.

They brought me the narcotics after that.

0/10, would not recommend kidney stones.

[-] itsnotits@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

It's* legit no joke

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 16 points 7 months ago

omg im so sorry :(

Alpha chads induce kidney stones to flex on beta mothers 💪 🐺

yeah, kidney and gall stones are two of the things where answering 10 on the pain scale is fully accepted by doctors, nurses and everyone who has ever experienced them. source: gall stones. i legit needed help dressing up for the ambulance ride.

[-] DillyDaily@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

I had read so many comments on line about how intensely painful gallstone are, and how that pain is no joke.

I was in my second year of nursing school and the chronic niggling abdominal pain I'd had for several months changed in an instant to the most crippling colicky pain I had ever felt. I swear it radiated throughout my entire body. The way it "gripped" in my entire torso made me feel like my heart was seizing, but it was just my gallbladder full of stones.

I knew immediately what it was. I'd been ignoring the niggling pain because I had stage 4 endometriosis at the time so abdominal pain wasn't unusual. And it's a common phenomenon for medical students and nursing students to experience strange pshycogenic symptoms, especially as they learn about a new disease, and the niggling pain had started around the same time I was doing my unit on biliary and hepatic anatomy and physiology, so when my gallbladder was "grumbling" I just assumed I was imagining it.

I booked into my GP, who instantly agreed it sounded like gallstones, she ordered an ultrasound and liver function test. My gallbladder was full of stones, most were tiny, 2-3mm, but there were 4 chonky bois, and my Liver function test was all sorts of abnormal.

Up until this point, everyone had treated this very seriously. My GP was rushing around like it was urgent, when I told my teachers at nursing school that I'll likely need time off because I was dealing with gallstones they all acted like it was a catagory 2 emergency, and everyone had this assumption that in less than 2 months I'd be gallbladder-less.

I was referred for surgery. That was April, I got my intake letter and my surgery was scheduled for October.

So I spent the next 6 months in occasional agony. I was lucky that I'd get a solid 3-4 days without pain, and then I'd get an "attack" that would last a few hours but fade out.

But as it got closer to October, the attacks were lasting over 2 days, by the end I was delirious. I went to the ER twice out of desperation. Both times they gave me buscopan and told me to go home and wait for my surgery. My GP prescribed me some muscle relaxants which helped a bit.

On the night before my surgery, I was having the worse pain of the whole ordeal by far. I was fasting for surgery so I couldn't take the pain relief my GP had prescribed because it was an oral tablet. I wasn't getting any sleep, so I just went to the hospital at 2am (instead of 8am for my surgery).

I went to the ER and explained that my surgery was in the morning, I'm fasting so can't take my meds, but the pain is unbearable. They gave me, you guessed it, buscopan. I sat in the waiting room and at 7:45am said goodbye and walked over to the day surgery wing.

Everyone I told was baffled, saying gallstones were so incredibly painful there's no way I'd have to wait that long for surgery and not get proper pain relief while I waited. Even my GP was confused, I saw her once a fortnight between August and October because I was just in such a sorry state. My skin was yellow, I was shitting clay, I couldn't keep much food down, I'd lost a lot of weight. My GP would spend most of the appointment on the phone with the surgical intake team asking "what the fuck?"

But 9 years after my surgery, my best friend started getting gallbladder attacks. She went to the ER, they confirmed the stones with an ultrasound, and they referred her for surgery. 2 months later she still hadn't gotten her intake letter, so when she had another bad attack she went to the ER and they gave her buscopan and advil and told her to be patient, the surgical list is backed up. She got her letter a few days after that, surgery was booked for August.

She scrounged together some money to see a private surgeon, she saw him on February 10th, and she had her gallbladder removed on February 15th, and they sent her home with endone for the 5 days between. It took a chunk out of the savings that she and her partner want to use for a house deposit, but there's no way she could have made it to August with how much pain she was in.

"Feels like labor" doesn't hold up in a bunch of places. I met plenty of women going for 2nd, 3rd, 4th pregnancies. I ain't never heard a man say "Kick me in the balls again."

[-] drathvedro@lemm.ee 19 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I heard women are wired to forget the experience, because otherwise we'd go extinct as nobody would ever want to go through it after the first time.

[-] oatscoop@midwest.social 6 points 7 months ago

The brain dumps a shit load of hormones to take the edge off the (frankly, horrific) process of giving birth.

The sudden imbalance after pregnancy and labor is suspected to be a causative factor in post-partum mood disorders.

[-] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 7 months ago

I think it's like moments after the birth that the body is flooded with feel-good hormones that do exactly that - make you forget how painful and horrible the whole thing was and only remember how great being a new mother feels.

[-] Zozano@lemy.lol 9 points 7 months ago

I mean, I've seen videos of guys who pay good money for a nice girl to do all sorts of painful things to an unsuspecting testicle or two.

So, they do exist..

[-] Liz@midwest.social 4 points 7 months ago

I always roll my eyes at this joke because a kick in the balls doesn't come with a built-in reward. It's apples and oranges.

[-] MBM@lemmings.world 3 points 7 months ago

What if I gave you ten dollars?

[-] seliaste@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 7 months ago

It makes me so scared of getting any...

I drink a lot of water and don't eat meat so I guess I already check some prevention tips

I had my first kidney stone at 18. Mine was made of calcium. My doctor asked how often I drank energy drinks and how much spinach I ate. I said a lot of both and he said pump the breaks. I stopped with the Rockstars but kept the spinach because it was obviously the energy drinks because they're so bad for you. Four years later I'm getting surgery for my third stone. Guess who doesn't eat spinach (or Tums) now?

Not medical advice. There's a variety of stone types and innumerable causes that are poorly understood. Comics and memes are also not medical advice.

[-] Patches@sh.itjust.works 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Could it have also been the Tums? Those aren't something you should be regularly ingesting.

[-] TheControlled@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Hmm, I suspected. That's why I said I mostly stopped using them. I started taking Nexium everyday and I usually never have to.

[-] CallMeButtLove@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Just had my 3rd surgery too a few weeks ago. I don't eat spinach but I drink a shit load of milk. They're going to do a metabolic workup on me to try and get some answers.

I LOVE TAURINE, I'M SO HAPPY I CAN DRINK PIG LIVER EXTRACT IN TASTY LIQUID FORM

GONE ARE THE DAYS OF RELYING ON RAW EGGS FOR MY MEAT EXCLUSIVE AMINO ACIDS

[-] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 32 points 7 months ago

For anyone curious, the taurine in energy drinks is almost certainly lab created, not pig liver or bull testicles or whatever. Still funny though.

[-] seliaste@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Thanks, I was pretty sure monster is vegetarian-friendly

[-] alx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 7 months ago

But monster is owned by pepsico, the genocide-friendly mega Corp :( Steal monster or buy something else

I feel like synthetic taurine is a lot less available than actual pig liver, since the latter is an underused byproduct of a massive industry. I would be happy if I were wrong.

[-] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

Finding a good source for most of it being vegan is hard, the best I've found so far is Healthline claiming "The form of taurine used in supplements and energy drinks is usually synthetic, meaning it’s not derived from animals."

And Monster energy is definitely synthetic taurine according to their faq.

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 3 points 7 months ago

That's good to know. I wonder if this means we're on our way to truly vegan dog food in the future.

[-] apemint@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Synthetic taurine is everywhere, just search Amazon. It's sold alongside vitamins.

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 3 points 7 months ago

That is fair I give you that, but being sold on Amazon is no indication of the legitimacy of a product, tbh.

[-] fishbone@lemmy.world 27 points 7 months ago

I once won a bike in a punch card raffle for drinking as much monster as I do. No kidney stones yet, just a full immunity to the positive effects of caffeine and the constant threat from my body to never stop drinking them or else my head will implode from withdrawal.

[-] i_ben_fine@lemmy.one 17 points 7 months ago

When society collapses, caffeine withdrawal is the first reason I'll want to off myself.

[-] fishbone@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Yeah, good luck finding the energy to that or literally anything else without stimulants.

Or is that just me?

[-] Random_German_Name@feddit.de 5 points 7 months ago

You guys definitely have an addiction

[-] fishbone@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Yes. I started drinking them maybe 20 years ago and the benefits of drinking them, both then and now, far outweigh any negatives. Turns out stimulants are extremely helpful for people with (at the time) undiagnosed ADHD.

not enough monster energy

That's how you know it was drawn by a self-taught artist and not AI generated.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 22 points 7 months ago
[-] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 7 months ago

Do you mind elaborating? I actually don't know what you mean but I'm also a moron.

[-] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 5 points 7 months ago

The drawing on the right kind of looks like she is bending slightly forward (but not?), making the shorts look weirdly small/awkwardly placed...it's kind of like when someone paints a portrait and one of the subjects eyes are wonky in the photo so the artist keeps it that way- but in reality our brains adjust the picture so we normally dont notice something like that.

or i could be just talking out of my ass

I think it makes a little more sense when you consider this as the boys perspective.

[-] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 7 months ago

What do you mean?

[-] wallmenis@lemmy.one 11 points 7 months ago

I have a friend that this happened to them. Now they are ok.
