I went down.

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (12977) • Ireland 14 Nov

Today I fell. I’m not given to falling, nor do I welcome it. Last time I fell was about 10 years ago taking a short cut through an unlit car park on a cold winter’s night that was so deep, and I tripped over a brick. I suffered...

Unexpected Pregnancy

Amber @AmbiePam (92557) • United States 16 Nov

So I was getting a cupping/massage last Monday, and the acupuncturist doing it seemed a little subdued. She’s a talker, so I tried to match her energy and not talk to much. She then let the news escape that she was pregnant, but...

Chronic digestive issues can cause depression

Diana @dya80dya (36636) 16 Nov

I would rather starve than eat and feel pain. Lately, I had a lot of digestive problems. I have IBS. It's a very painful condition. Today I had a smoothie and I had severe pain. I went to the doctor. He said that no medication can...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl When you have an IBS flare, calm your gut by eating some plain foods like white bread, plain baked potatoes, white rice, applesauce, baked or broiled chicken breast. No raw veggies or fruit. Sure hope this helps.

Have you tried corn pasta?

Diana @dya80dya (36636) 16 Nov

I didn't know that this type of pasta existed. I couldn't eat even pasta so I did my research. I found out I couldn't eat pasta because it has gluten. I found an alternative. But I am not sure if I can tolerate it or not. Today I...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl My husband has to eat gluten free and I found a good brand of gf spaghetti noodles. It's Muellers GF. It's a rice based pasta and is really good. Be sure to cook it long enough, though.

Does it bother you when someone eats your food?

Amber @AmbiePam (92557) • United States 12 Nov

I live alone, so no one eats my food without me giving it to them. However, I remember growing up and I’d bring home food from a restaurant. My mom never ate my food. If my dad did, it was because he didn’t realize it was mine,...

He was only at the ER for a couple of hours. They did some tests which came back inconclusive I think. His BP was 180 over something which is terrible, but had come down to about 160 by the time he left. I told him to call his...

How long is your usual waiting time?

Amber @AmbiePam (92557) • United States 13 Nov

I had a doctor’s appointment at 9:30am. I left the facility at 11:30am. The funny thing is, I talked to the doctor no more than 15 minutes. Months ago,I had an appointment with him once at 7:45am. I got out of there that day at...

Why did you get into it?

Amber @AmbiePam (92557) • United States 10 Nov

Why did you decide to get into your line of work? Is it just a job you needed, or did you go to school for something that is a lifetime career? Are you glad you chose what you did?

Do people purposefully eat plain ‘ol chocolate bars?

Amber @AmbiePam (92557) • United States 9 Nov

Do people eat/use a pure chocolate bar for anything but s’mores (Graham cracker, marshmallow, chocolate)? I was watching a sports show (shocker), and the hosts got into a weird argument of the best candy bars. They all agreed the...

How do you refer to your fellow Mylotters to other people?

Amber @AmbiePam (92557) • United States 31 Oct

Some Mylotters do not go by their real first name, so if you refer to them, you have to use their username. I noticed after talking to a few Mylotters, one calls me Ambie, and one calls me Amber. I’m not sure what others do. I...
