I’m honestly just waiting to see what kind of new side-effects gets listed in the next 5-10 years with these weightloss drugs. I wouldn’t risk anything with this level new medicine, and I’m struggling with losing weight right now.

I was thinking of this while writing!

I get scared of the botox faces, both seen from a screen and IRL. They speak, but face doesn’t move. No emotions. It’s just unsettling. And it’s hard to take the person seriously, even if they were smart.

Often it looks like that the person would be very pretty, definitely not a mirror breaker, under it all. Even makeup often looks like the person would look better after cleaning the skin with a butter knife. I keep hearing from men that their ladies are most prettiest after waking up or just without makeup, but it’s not like they can say that without the lady thinking they’re being sarcastic.

Ouch.

I haven’t, yet, heard any doc like that but sounds very possible - depending the country. I get told I’m being “in danger” for using condoms.

Same. A girl I know, less than 20 years old at the time, got issues from pills so the doctor sold her an idea for IUD being easy solution. No pain meds, she passed out during the insertion - woke up to an angry doctor yeling at her for being dramatic…

Thanks! And yeah, the doctors (had to see two before getting the damn stick out!) both told me that yeah, it’s normal for it to get worse since it has been the 2 years. Not many do the full 3 years… I think most side effects are not taken seriously, no matter what the method for birth control is.

Nope, no any pain meds for IUDs here either, or for the other stuff either. But for implants, yup, local anesthesia. They’re different, implant goes in your arm.

At least they give a local (or whatever it’s in English) for when you get the implant… I had one (3 year one) for like 2 years and 2 months. Had no issues until I hit the 2 years mark, after that started having bad, bad side-effects. And it took the 2 months to get it removed… It was hell. But it was also alright for the 2 years and it healed very fast and well. Kinda recommend it, but yeah, it won’t last the “promised” time and removal can be a hassle depending the healthcare systems.

Decided to not get anything hormonal for now, and boy is my body messed up after about 10 years of hormones… I guess it’ll get better within a year. Now I just gotta listen all the nurses and doctors panic and pressure me back into hormones, I guess they really are afraid of some latex lol. (Waiting for a vasectomy for the partner.)

I told the guy present during my test that I’d love to bite the pencil, stab the questionaire with it and then shred the papers and form them into tiny balls to throw at him. He took some notes.
