Hope things get better soon cherry....
It's a dark, rainy and windy day today. We're expecting winds in the 30-40mph range later on, so Tiki won't like that very much.
Made another weird brekky: Egg, Cheese, Braunschweiger & Onions on 12-grain Toast with Hash Browns.
Gramma used to make a mean liver and onions for breakfast, so when I had a hankering for it today, I improvised. Yeah, that neon green Hab sauce looks out of place here, but the store was out of the red one.
Lots of garlic pepper used, also a sprinkle of smoked hot paprika on the egg for fun. The sharp cheddar is nice with the liver and sauteed onions too. Toasted the toast right in the pan so it helped clean up..heheh.
It's different for sure, but pretty tasty.

Concrete dishes....WTF??
And concrete is starting to pop up in more and more modern kitchens if you believe some of those high end real estate and remodeling shows. My wife and daughter are both into them and I've seen them talk about concrete countertops on more than one occaison. I just shake my head and tell them, not in my house...
I love itBuuuut, mine taste better.

I noticed that you didn't say concrete... and I'm good with colors, just don't care for concrete countertops, and definitely can't imagine trying to use concrete dishes. Just imagine trying to set the table and wash them in the sink.
That sounds a lot like our old house. My wife gave me a choice of colors; I didn't like either so I picked the lesser of the evils. Eventually I grew to love it (sunshine yellow with a heavy terracotta orange glaze). The bright colors were great, so we painted one wall of our kitchen with a color I call Electric Blue. I don't miss the upkeep of that old house, but the paint sure looked good.

Anytime I've seen them they are stained a color and sealed. They actually look kind of like slate to be honest, but more splotchey.
I have sealed, stained, polished concrete counter tops and floors in muh kitchen. Not that I'm ever in there.

Yeah, but even when they're sealed, stuff like red wine and tomato sauce will still cause a stain.

Crap did I say something wrong again?
Ever pull a battery from a mech you've used for like a day and a half, thinking "It must be getting low by NOW..." only to find out it's still at like 3.9v?
Just had that moment with my Fogger v4 & Brass Sentinel combo.
That's why I love my Samsung 25R's.

If it's my fault, it's a stain. If my better half does it, it's character.
In our old house, that would have been perfectly acceptable. It had a casual, laid back feel to it (split level, built in the late 60's). Our current house feels a little too uptight for that sort of thing. The entire interior would have to be changed to make it work, and even then I have my doubts that it'd be right for the space.
I have 1970's white w/ goldenrod pattern formica counters.
Just gotta be vigilant about using cutting boards and wiping them down.
Yup....
I bought my house from my grandma, My grandparents were the original owners, when we went looking at what to do I was like wow this looks like our kitchen NOW yes retro is in I just couldn't do it had to make it all mine.. I love the feel of a old comfy house don't think I could go with uptight (I have enough of that with hubby). I would love a cabin in the mountains somewhere far from everything.If it's my fault, it's a stain. If my better half does it, it's character.

Why feel silly?? Kitchens are the most popular place in the house ever notice when you have company everyone kinda gathers towards the kitchen?
I prefer to keep people at arm's length. Odd considering what I do. I should suppose that even though I am invited into other people's lives, I give forth nothing of my own for the reason that mine is irrelevant. I'm not certain that I necessarily like that, but I find it quite necessary

- It has been present for at least six months.
- Conventional treatments yield little relief.
- The degree of pain perceived seems out of proportion to the degree of tissue damage detected by conventional means.
- Physical appearance of depression is present, such as sleep problems, poor appetite, constipation, and slowed body movements.
- Physical activity is extremely limited.
- Emotional roles in the family are altered, and the patient is displaced from her accustomed role, such as wife, mother, or employee.
- sound familiar??

Thats why I asked if she has a biopsy for endo..
Yea that's what I was diagnosed with. Problem is, nobody knows wtf to do about it
They did and I don't have endometriosis. Because of that they basically said we don't know go somewhere else
They were supposed to refer me to a pelvic pain specialist, they didn't. They sent me to a regular pain clinic that doesn't know what to do about it so I'm back to square one
The artical is more in depth Its about other causes as well as how to treat . I thought she might find it useful
They made me lay on my stomach, putting pressure on my cysts causing more pain and making me cry. I have been playing phone tag with doctors all day trying to get an ultrasound scheduled.
I got some good ones I'll sell ya cheap, never used them, still in the boxEver pull a battery from a mech you've used for like a day and a half, thinking "It must be getting low by NOW..." only to find out it's still at like 3.9v?

Honestly I am praying the cysts rupture so somebody will fucking do something.
Hi Cherry, what time do you go in??
No you are not!! My friend almost died from that!!
Chronic Pain Treatment
Perry, medical director of the C. Paul Perry Pelvic Pain Center in Birmingham, Ala., says certain antiepileptic drugs -- especially Neurontin but also Pregabalin, Depakote, and others -- are effective in treating chronic pelvic pain.
It's important to treat depression in chronic pelvic pain, says Perry. Some studies have shown that antidepressants can improve pain levels and pain tolerance in women who have chronic pelvic pain.
"Eighty to 90% of CPP patients have depression," Perry says.
"The medications we've had the best results with for depression and neuropathic pain are Cymbalta and Effexor," he says. "There are other SSRIs that are good for depression, and you'd think they would help, but those two drugs are the only ones substantiated in the literature."
Metzger sometimes combines Elavil or Neurontin with medications such as Allegra and Singulair. In addition, she advises patients who have severe vulvar pain to spray Nasalcrom, an over-the-counter nasal spray, directly on the vulva.
Perry adds that for most patients, opioid drugs should be avoided. "That's not an absolute, because some patients can't function without them. But the danger of opiods is you can end up with two problems: chronic pelvic pain and dependency."
Perry says it's now understood that women should try to avoid multiple surgeries as it can set up a cycle of pain, surgery, more pain, more surgery, etc. "We try to teach minimally invasive surgery because it helps prevent upregulation to the spinal cord," he says.
He adds that women should avoid emergency room visits unless absolutely necessary. "A patient can get into a vicious cycle of pain crisis, ER, getting a shot, going back in the next month. We never tell them to stay out of the ER if there's a problem, but if it's the same-old, same-old, it can interfere with their treatment plan. ER doctors focus on the pain crisis. They may not understand why someone is hurting with so little pathology and tend to dismiss them as drug seekers, when usually they're relief seekers."
Chronic pain can take over a woman's life, but experts now advise staying active, working, and engaging in physical activity. "Low-impact aerobics might be good," says Grzesiak. Some studies have suggested that physical therapy and exercise may be effective for chronic pain relief.
"We discourage patients from getting on disability," says Perry. "That's a downward spiral. We encourage functionality and distractions. Young women should stay in school. Others should keep working, at least some."
Metzger has found that many patients test positive for allergies to foods, such as wheat, soy, corn, rice, and baker's yeast. "When we get them off the food they're allergic to, their pain goes away." She adds that vulvar pain may be related to allergies to skin fungi. "When we desensitize patients with daily, sublingual [under the tongue] drops, the pain goes away."
She's also seen results in patients who go on the Sugar Busters diet. "Money isn't the root of all evil," she says. "Sugar is."
