2024.05.14 18:40 thepurlshq Cisplatin & Radiation Treatment (My Experience)
Update post on my progress and protocols for my treatment with side effects and how I managed it all.
Now that I'm done with treatment, I hope that this can help others who may be starting the same journey and have questions. I attribute my easy time to the premeds and my mental willpower. I focus on the positives and silver linings over the negatives. You can only control one thing -- your reactions. The rest requires you to practice acceptance.
Diagnosis: Stage 2 Endocervical Adenocarcinoma Gastric Type with LVSI
Treatment Plan: Surgery (cervix, uterus, and ovaries) followed by concurrent Chemo with Radiation with a PET Scan scheduled 2 months after treatment to determine if NED or more treatment is required.
I was scheduled for 6 chemo cycles, once a week, and 28 radiation beam therapies. Chemo happened on Monday and Radiation was Monday through Friday. I had to skip Cycle 3 on Chemo only because I was hospitalized with Norovirus and my counts were too low. I still did radiation those days.
Chemo Protocol in order of meds:
Cisplatin Symptoms: This is going to vary person to person and you may get different premeds than me.
Edited to add: get a port. You will not regret it. I plan on keeping mine for a year after NED, which will require a monthly flush. It makes things so much easier, especially if you have to be hospitalized. I didn't need the numbing cream, it hurts less than the arm pokes for labs and infusions. I asked for mine before chemo and doctor didn't think it was necessary. First treatment proved it was - I had three IV's that day and I'm still suffering from the Emend infusion (not the chemo surprisingly) on my arm. Yes, its surgery but its easy. I had it in place before my 2nd chemo and it was lifechanging. I'd keep it for life it wasn't for the monthly flushes lol, my arm veins were crap to start and the more they are poked the worse they get.

Chemo Protocol in order of meds:
- Magnesium Sulfate + Potassium Chloride. Cisplatin strips this from your body, supplements.
- Emend (Fosaprepitant) - antiemetic. I had to get a port for this, it burned my arm vein and I had to use other arm for Chemo, no fun.
- Aloxi (Palonosetron) - antiemetic.
- Decadron (Dexamethasone) - steroid. It burns in your nether region, if it burns too much, ask them to push it slower.
- Lasix (Furosemide) - diuretic. Cisplatin is hard on kidneys, this is to help purge the chemo faster. Be close to a bathroom and ask nurse if you can just unplug your IV pole and go to bathroom freely vs. pushing call button -- its easier.
- Cisplatin (Platinol) 70mg (my dose). Didn't make me feel any different than the other infusions.
Cisplatin Symptoms: This is going to vary person to person and you may get different premeds than me.
- Mon (Day 1) - just the cold feeling in your veins from all the fluid infusions. You also gain like 5lbs of water weight that day. I was typically ravenous and ate whatever I wanted, the antiemetics made this possible. Be wary of constipation from chemo, it took me by surprise the first week. The other weeks I ate a few prunes on Sunday and then after chemo on Monday to help. Otherwise you won't poop for a week and be miserable.
- Tues (Day 2) - no appetite and I don't eat. Even marijuana does not work to stimulate. I'll force myself if DH forces me, but since I eat everything in sight Day 1 I'm not too hard on myself. Important to have first BM this day, if nothing then you need to start addressing. Of course I BM daily so this may not apply to you.
- Wed - Thu (Day 3 - 4) - acid reflux and indigestion. Keep some Tums handy or use pills, it doesn't really help and you get used to it. All in, better than throwing up, so take it as a win if this is the worst for you. Appetite back.
- Fri - Sun (Day 5 -7) - less side effects, should be at normal BMs, if you are not you need to address for next cycle. Very important to purge your bowels if you are constipated before your next chemo. I ended up doing Miralax my first week, I had zero BM before Sat and I could feel the pressure. The following weeks I just did a handful of prunes Sunday night after dinner and Monday when I got home from chemo. I happen to like prunes and they worked to keep me regular.
- The fatigue sets in slowly. By week 3/4 I needed 12 hours a night to sleep. Don't ignore this important rest. I adjusted my work schedule from day 1 -- from 7a to 1p Tue - Thu. I didn't work Mon due to Chemo and Fri I had to get labs done and radiation so I worked from 7a to 11am. I did this from day 1 to set the tone with my boss and ensure I had the time needed to rest even if I didn't need it. I ended up working Sat and sometimes Sun to make up for things. I am a WFH executive - right hand of CEO and in charge of operations. Helps to have a great boss pick up the slack and an amazing team who supported me every step of the way.
- Bowels get softer over time, they do not go from hard to diarrhea overnight. If you have diarrhea fast, don't ignore it or let your doctor's ignore. I thought it was the prunes week 2 that did it, no it was norovirus. They didn't catch it until I had a 102 fever week 3 and had to be hospitalized. The chemo constipation masked it during the week.
- AZO is your BEST FRIEND. Take it every day. It is made to as a pain reliever for the bladder. I missed it for a week and paid for it so bad. Do not skip this important drug. I need to keep taking it for a few weeks until the symptoms subside.
- When you go in for your initial telemetry setup for the machines, make sure you are comfortable before they start anything. The moment you lay down on the machine bed, you need to make sure you are in a good position. They used a mold on my legs and I was not in a good position so it really hurt my hips every session thereafter.
- You have to put your hands on your chest. They give a ring, I hated it. I recommend relaxing your shoulders or you'll have a hard time while they do the treatment.
- You get used to the flow. You walk into the treatment room, hop on a bed while two techs adjust you (I had x marks on both hips and belly that they lined up). Then you get a quick CT to ensure your bladder is full and you're in a good position. Adjustments are made as needed. You know when the radiation beam starts because it is the only thing with noise. Don't move until they say you can. Whole thing is 10 mins or less.
- Bladder management is the worst part. You need to have a full bladder for this and as the treatment progresses you will have a harder time determining if your bladder is full or not. Your kidneys will also work slower (I attribute to the chemo) as the weeks go on, so you'll need to drink earlier. I recommend drinking what will fill your bladder two hours before your treatment. It is easier to let of some pressure than it is to fill the bladder. Tea is a natural diuretic and is very helpful to giving your kidneys a boost. I usually drank 20+ oz of Powerade two hours before (chugging), then tea when I arrived (they had fancy machines) and this worked 90% of the time.
- Be wary of foods you eat. I did great until Week 4 when I had lots of stuff with red sauce and it caused gas. I had to pass this gas before they could do my treatment, it was a riot but you don't want your visits to be like that every day. Stay away from tomato products and anything else that gives you even mild gas outside of treatment. It is nearly impossible to pass gas with an overfull bladder.
Edited to add: get a port. You will not regret it. I plan on keeping mine for a year after NED, which will require a monthly flush. It makes things so much easier, especially if you have to be hospitalized. I didn't need the numbing cream, it hurts less than the arm pokes for labs and infusions.

2024.05.14 10:07 peacockblue21 Low carb snacks ideas that also do not have unhealthy fats
To preface this, I am not allowed to eat unhealthy fats, simple carbohydrates and any kind of refined or baked food. I use very light mustard oil for cooking in food. I also don't eat rice or wheat roti. I eat millets (jowar, bajra, raggi, etc). Absolutely no butter. Negligible sugar and low sodium salt in moderation.
This diet restriction is due to a recent diagnosis of fatty liver (it's in very early stages but I have gone on extreme dietary restriction for the past 3 months nonetheless).
For the past 3 months I have been only eating a fixed diet. Oats in the morning, 1 roti and sabji, 1 cup of moong daal in lunch, a bunch of veggies, lots and lots of fruits (no banana though), soya chunks and tofu, paneer (in strict moderation), some nuts and almonds as evening snacks or maybe a moong chilla or 1 roti and sabji as dinner. I try to limit myself to 1200 calories (I am short).
I was wondering if there were any snack suggestions that wouldn't be problematic and also help me to introduce variety in my monotonous diet.
I am vegetarian at the moment but I have been thinking to start eating fish.

2024.05.14 06:13 Laylavvs MY MOTHER IS A PSYCHO NARCISSIST !!!!
I wish I could include a voice note just so that you guys can hear this. It’s literally 10:41 PM at night. I’m in extreme pain from my period cramps it feels like someone is stabbing my stomach and my mom is downstairs in her room, just yelling, and saying the most disgusting abusive shit to me!! calling me an animal and I’m going nowhere in my life but when I made over $300,000 I gave it all to her and now I’m fucking broke.. she’s the reason that I dropped out of high school, the reason I have PTSD because she used to fucking stand on my head and shit! Literally fucking sliced me! shaved my head bald and put fucking habanero peppers in my fucking vagina!!!!! I even had to jump over three-story building once because her ex-husband was chasing me with a fucking machete!!
It’s just crazy to me because she looks for absolutely any chance she gets just to turn it into an issue and escalate it just so the spotlight or whatever she thinks can be on her like bro it’s 10:44 PM. This is ridiculous!!!! Honestly this happens a lot, so I feel like it should be normal for me, but I’m just in too much pain to be listening to her bullshit right now.. what’s wild is this is all because of fucking Apple juice FUCKING APPLE JUICE BOXES!!
So I had to go to the grocery store for my baby brothers school movie day and I bought him a bunch of snacks. There was a whole drama in the car but to be honest I’m too tired to say the whole story, but in the car, she was literally yelling and saying how she’s gonna crash the whole entire car and was literally screaming at me and the kids in the car… And then I think she said the list in her head and thought she said it to me and literally no one in the entire car heard her say a word and she thought she said it out loud so I told her she didn’t and she said she’s gonna crash the car and kill us…
In my head, I was laughing which is scary because like that’s not funny but it’s just happened so many times that at this point I’m like OK just crash the car because all you do is talk shit… (obviously I said it in my head because I feel like if I said it out loud that’s when she would actually crash the car and I’m too young to die. I’m only 20) Anyways, it’s just really crazy to me though that she’s still yelling about that incident right now and it’s like three days after…
I feel like I’m rambling at this point but I’m just really tired and I can’t go to sleep because there’s so much noise. I’m just a bit happy that I am over 18 and she can’t actually hit me because even though I’m respectful and I really do not like to fight my mother like I’ve never actually fought her but I swear if she comes upstairs and gets in my way, I’m throwing the fucking hands and leaving!!
The only reason I can’t even leave this fucking house, is because she took all the money I have, and still has the audacity to talk shit to me! I can’t even leave because I don’t have my American citizenship or green card I’m on a renewable visa which is under her.. but now that I’ve seen her true colors I’m really about to work so fucking hard and get my money up and honestly just try to pay for citizenship or pay someone to marry me or something because I can’t keep living like this.. like I’ll probably hire an accountant and a really good lawyer to help me cause I’m in bondage rn! This is so fucking toxic
This is really long I just want to say I’m sorry in advance. I’m just so fucking pissed right now and in so much pain. Plus I have lost so much growing up because of her I was thinking about like all the bullshit I’ve gone through as a child growing up. Like there’s one of my uncles who she literally cut his hand. Obviously there’s a bone there, so it couldn’t all fall off, but it was literally dangling in front of me and then I got intensely beat up just because she thought I slept with him. LIKE I WAS FUCKING 10 IDK WTF THAT IS!! The insane part is I kept getting beat up until I was bleeding and they wouldn’t stop till I admitted to doing it smh I really been through some shit and it’s just now sinking into my head like that’s not normal cause I just overlooked it and went numb over the years and said it’s in the past so it is what it is but no it’s not what the fuck it is!!!
I’ve brought this up to her in the past but she just acts like it never happened or wasn’t important or I’m just over talking and she never treated me like that like what??? I literally have marks and witnesses like his hand is still stitched how tf are you gonna gaslight me??? what’s wild is because they made me admit to doing that that every time an uncle came to visit, it would happen again, and again, and again, I literally had to beg my uncles to stop visiting because they would just beat me even for staring or talking about Mickey Mouse (yes precisely I was beat for that)
I’m gonna just stop this here because I could go on for days and I’m just in too much pain both physically emotionally and mentally…. everyone just thinks I’m cool and chilling, but like I really live in a toxic ass home and I lived through hell at such a young age and still getting insulted daily and treated like shit!!

There was a whole drama in the car but to be honest I’m too tired to say the whole story, but in the car, she was literally yelling and saying how she’s gonna crash the whole entire car and was literally screaming at me and the kids in the car… And then I think she said the list in her head and thought she said it to me and literally no one in the entire car heard her say a word and she thought she said it out loud so I told her she didn’t and she said she’s gonna crash the car and kill us…
In my head, I was laughing which is scary because like that’s not funny but it’s just happened so many times that at this point I’m like OK just crash the car because all you do is talk shit… (obviously I said it in my head because I feel like if I said it out loud that’s when she would actually crash the car and I’m too young to die. I’m only 20) Anyways, it’s just really crazy to me though that she’s still yelling about that incident right now and it’s like three days after…
I feel like I’m rambling at this point but I’m just really tired and I can’t go to sleep because there’s so much noise. I’m just a bit happy that I am over 18 and she can’t actually hit me because even though I’m respectful and I really do not like to fight my mother like I’ve never actually fought her but I swear if she comes upstairs and gets in my way, I’m throwing the fucking hands and leaving!!
The only reason I can’t even leave this fucking house, is because she took all the money I have, and still has the audacity to talk shit to me! I can’t even leave because I don’t have my American citizenship or green card I’m on a renewable visa which is under her.. but now that I’ve seen her true colors I’m really about to work so fucking hard and get my money up and honestly just try to pay for citizenship or pay someone to marry me or something because I can’t keep living like this.. like I’ll probably hire an accountant and a really good lawyer to help me cause I’m in bondage rn! This is so fucking toxic
This is really long I just want to say I’m sorry in advance. I’m just so fucking pissed right now and in so much pain. Plus I have lost so much growing up because of her I was thinking about like all the bullshit I’ve gone through as a child growing up. Like there’s one of my uncles who she literally cut his hand. Obviously there’s a bone there, so it couldn’t all fall off, but it was literally dangling in front of me and then I got intensely beat up just because she thought I slept with him. LIKE I WAS FUCKING 10 IDK WTF THAT IS!! The insane part is I kept getting beat up until I was bleeding and they wouldn’t stop till I admitted to doing it smh I really been through some shit and it’s just now sinking into my head like that’s not normal cause I just overlooked it and went numb over the years and said it’s in the past so it is what it is but no it’s not what the fuck it is!!!
I’ve brought this up to her in the past but she just acts like it never happened or wasn’t important or I’m just over talking and she never treated me like that like what??? I literally have marks and witnesses like his hand is still stitched how tf are you gonna gaslight me??? what’s wild is because they made me admit to doing that that every time an uncle came to visit, it would happen again, and again, and again, I literally had to beg my uncles to stop visiting because they would just beat me even for staring or talking about Mickey Mouse (yes precisely I was beat for that)
I’m gonna just stop this here because I could go on for days and I’m just in too much pain both physically emotionally and mentally…. everyone just thinks I’m cool and chilling, but like I really live in a toxic ass home and I lived through hell at such a young age and still getting insulted daily and treated like shit!!

I wish I could include a voice note just so that you guys can hear this. It’s literally 10:41 PM at night. I’m in extreme pain from my period cramps it feels like someone is stabbing my stomach and my mom is downstairs in her room, just yelling, and saying the most disgusting abusive shit to me!! calling me an animal and I’m going nowhere in my life but when I made over $300,000 I gave it all to her and now I’m fucking broke.. she’s the reason that I dropped out of high school, the reason I have PTSD because she used to fucking stand on my head and shit! Literally fucking sliced me! shaved my head bald and put fucking habanero peppers in my fucking vagina!!!!! I even had to jump over three-story building once because her ex-husband was chasing me with a fucking machete!!

2024.05.13 21:22 islandchick93 Endometrial Biopsy Experience
Hi all, I am going to have surgery in 7 weeks and I am pretty excited to evict my fibroids. My doctor did request an endometrial biopsy ahead of surgery. So naturally, I went on a hunt just days before to figure out what I should maybe expect. Everything. I found online told me that this was about to be a barbaric and evil procedure. So I prepared myself for the absolute worse...(prep list down below)
I will say I don't think its barbaric per se (my experience at least), but the procedure was definitely uncomfortable. You're given medication (the same meds as the abortion pill(misoprostol).....which I realized the day before when I looked it up) and 800mg ibuprofen. I took the ibuprofen about an hour before the misoprostol the night before (that ibuprofen had me feeling high as hell and sleepy just a warning lol). The misoprostol came in a 2 pack (1 for the night before and 1 the morning of the procedure). I honestly did not feel anything the night before and I passed out, but when I took the second pill in the morning (preceeded by another 800 mg ibuprofen). In the morning, the cramps were very intense and this was not fun.
Day of the procedure:
For preparation I recommend: taking the ibuprofen 30+ min before the misoprostol, EAT ahead of time (I messed up here, i only had like a protein bar or so but I wish I had a full breakfast), using heating pads/cold compress, brining extra pads, bringing a snack or 2, bringing water, bringing a soothing drink for your tummy (for me its fizzy drinks so sparkling water or ginger ale, i know tea works for some people), Massager for your lower belly (this helped calm my cramps a lot, it was so clutch), tissues (for unexpected tears), extra pair of underwear just in case, and have back up transportation to get home (I live in a large city so I just took transit, if you live in a driving city, I'd highly recommend having someone drive you / pick you up).
I hope this can be helpful for anyone who may endure this biopsy as a part of their fibroid journey!

I honestly did not feel anything the night before and I passed out, but when I took the second pill in the morning (preceeded by another 800 mg ibuprofen). In the morning, the cramps were very intense and this was not fun.
Day of the procedure:
- I struggled to get out of bed after taking the 2nd Misoprostol pill...the cramps had me in bed, with my feet up and just wishing the ibuprofen could work way faster. I showered after about 30 min and applied a heating pad to my lower abs.
- I went to the procedure, my commute was ok. I brought a ginger ale with me to soothe my tummy.
- I got to the office and had some cold water and was seen pretty quickly.
- In the room there was a set up of a needle, a suction straw looking tube (a catheter lol), the speculum and a few other items.
- The most uncomfortable part was the catheter suctioning out particles from my cervix...it felt like there was a straw in my vagina blowing in aiattaching and rinse repeat like 10 times.
- There was cramping during the suctioning, it felt like a sharp pain for 15ish seconds inside my vagina. That was the worst part, I tried to breathe in and out during the suctioning and that helped a lot. I also had a heating pad on my lower stomach for relief.
- I have been bleeding for a over a month so my doctor went again just to be sure she got enough particles...the 2nd go was significantly more painful, I got very light headed and dizzy and was in need of sugar...and water...(context: bleeding was due to the depo shot....don't take this shot, i thought it would eliminate my period and help with the fibroids, it made things worst imo).
For preparation I recommend: taking the ibuprofen 30+ min before the misoprostol, EAT ahead of time (I messed up here, i only had like a protein bar or so but I wish I had a full breakfast), using heating pads/cold compress, brining extra pads, bringing a snack or 2, bringing water, bringing a soothing drink for your tummy (for me its fizzy drinks so sparkling water or ginger ale, i know tea works for some people), Massager for your lower belly (this helped calm my cramps a lot, it was so clutch), tissues (for unexpected tears), extra pair of underwear just in case, and have back up transportation to get home (I live in a large city so I just took transit, if you live in a driving city, I'd highly recommend having someone drive you / pick you up).

 | Dates and Sugar submitted by kernelonuts to u/kernelonuts [link] [comments] One of the first fruits to be cultivated is the date fruit, which is grown in large quantities throughout the Middle East and North Africa in several kinds. When it comes to fruits, dates can be the perfect food because they offer a variety of vital nutrients and possible health advantages.Condensed sources of vital nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates (CHOs) are found in dates. These nutrients are crucial for maintaining optimal health. Glucose and fructose comprise the majority of the carbohydrates (CHOs) found in dates. Todays mostof date fruit producers like Iran, Egypt ,Saudi Arabia are considered as Top date sugar supplier and exporter. https://preview.redd.it/ia3bfflciwzc1.jpg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=658c636febf21b3af98e24c31cbfe24c40283fce Among the variety of natural sweeteners, date sugar is particularly useful and nutrient-dense. This unprocessed sweetener, which comes from dried dates, has several advantages than just tasting great. The origins of date sugar can be found in the Middle East and North Africa, where date palms have been farmed for countless years. Dates are prized for their inherent sweetness, rich flavor, and dense texture since ancient times. All the nutrition and flavor of the fruit are preserved when dried dates are ground into a fine powder to create date sugar. The method of production is simple: after being picked fresh, the dates are dried and processed into powder or granules. The natural fiber, vitamins, and minerals found in fruit are retained in date sugar, in contrast to refined sugars that go through a rigorous refining and nutrient-removing procedure. Date Sugar’s Nutritious Profile: The nutritious value of date sugar is one of its biggest benefits. Date sugar has important elements, such as the following, unlike processed sugars, which are essentially empty calories: Fiber: Dates have a high dietary fiber content, which helps to maintain healthy digestion, control blood sugar, and increase feelings of fullness. Vitamins and Minerals: Among other minerals, dates are an excellent source of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin B6. These nutrients are essential for many body processes, including energy metabolism, muscular contraction, and bone health. Antioxidants: Antioxidants such as flavonoids, carotenoids, and phenolic acid abound in dates. These substances may lower the chance of developing chronic illnesses and assist in shielding cells from harm brought on by free radicals. Low Glycemic Index: Date sugar raises blood sugar levels more gradually and more slowly than refined sugar since it has a lower glycemic index. Those who have diabetes or want to control their blood sugar levels may find this helpful. https://preview.redd.it/fehpx3qkiwzc1.jpg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=339df612d91e5248152944b400f3119e49d52616 Uses of Date Sugar in Cooking: Date sugar lends a natural sweetness and richness of taste to a wide range of culinary uses. Here are a few recipes and baking techniques that use date sugar: Sweetening: In recipes for baked products, sauces, and drinks, use date sugar in lieu of refined sugar, one to one. Cookies, cakes, and muffins may all benefit from its rich, caramel-like flavor. Smoothies and Shakes: Smoothies and shakes can benefit from the natural sweetener and nutritional boost that comes from adding a teaspoon of date sugar. Granola and Oatmeal: To add fiber and nutrients to your porridge or granola, sprinkle some date sugar on top for a crunchy and sweet treat. Marinades and Dressings: To add a hint of sweetness to savoriness, use date sugar into sauces, marinades, and salad dressings. Energy Balls: You may sweeten homemade energy balls or bars using date sugar. For a naturally sweet and invigorating snack, pulse dates, nuts, seeds, and other ingredients in a food processor, form into balls, and cover with date sugar. Yogurt Parfaits: For a tasty and nourishing parfait, layer yogurt with nuts, seeds, and fresh fruit, then sprinkle with date sugar. Homemade Nut Milk: Date sugar can be added to homemade nut milk, such as cashew or almond milk, to taste. In a blender, combine soaked nuts, water, date sugar, and a little amount of salt to create a naturally sweetened, creamy drink. Salad Dressings: A delightful and zesty salad dressing may be created by dissolving date sugar with vinegar or citrus juice. Mix with mustard, olive oil, herbs, and spices to create a tasty salad or marinade dressing. https://preview.redd.it/61r1tb3niwzc1.jpg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35a9380cd87353c89cc5dbe420ac61f682dd071b Health advantages of date sugar: Stable Blood Sugar Levels: Date sugar’s fiber slows down the absorption of glucose, reducing the risk of blood sugar rises. Digestive Health: Date sugar’s fiber promotes proper digestion and may shield against constipation. Heart Health: The presence of potassium and magnesium in dates has been associated with a lowered risk of heart disease and blood pressure. Antioxidant Protection: Dates include antioxidants that may help lower the risk of developing certain chronic illnesses, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Date sugar offers a natural sweetness and a number of health advantages, making it a tasty and healthy substitute for refined sugars. Date sugar is a versatile ingredient that’s worth experimenting with, whether you’re trying to sweeten your favorite meals, increase your nutritional intake, or enhance your general health. |

2024.05.09 14:16 eZGjBw1Z (US) Aldi Finds Sneak Peek and Weekly Ad for 5/15/24
2024.05.09 05:22 GrandManSam What does the UAS look like?
I was playing through the game and was wondering about the cities I was wandering. The randomly selected name was Philadelphia (which is weird because Philadelphia has never once ever had a single crime in the history of ever) and New Orleans.
To my knowledge, the game takes place in the UAS under the Presidency of Starch Kola in the year 1979. Prior to that the history goes (according to TV Tropes)...
We can probably assume that this minimum isn't the extent of the UAS. Outside the inclusions of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, we can imagine that England and France would have expanded throughout the world. Obviously, this probably includes the colonization of much of North America, specifically Canada, the Ohio Territory, and the Louisiana Territory if the Bourbon Empire could wrestle that from the Spanish in this timeline. But what about other colonial holdings both empires had separately IRL across the rest of the Americas, Africa, and Asia? Not all of those would be in touching the Atlantic so are they likely to be included, or were they among the rebellious elements in the Mustard War. Also, what about some of the names suggested when randomly naming a city? Some of the names included are Chinese or Japanese. Are we supposed to assume China and Japan were invaded by the Bourbon Empire in this timeline? What other countries could have been invaded? Was the ENTIRE WORLD the Bourbon Empire, making the ENTIRE WORLD the UAS and the ENTIRE WORLD ruled by Starch Kola?
And how have rising sea levels have affected all of this? How bad is it that it makes the cities we investigate in pratically cyberpunk Venices surrounded by water? Is that just how bad it would be for cities on the coast or are those cities going the way of Atlantis and the cities we're in more much more inland? What are the implications of me solving crimes in Ulaanbaatar?!
I'm just asking just so the name of my cities make sense to the world and just to shop around the idea of what does this country look like.
The mystery persists, but so do I.

To my knowledge, the game takes place in the UAS under the Presidency of Starch Kola in the year 1979. Prior to that the history goes (according to TV Tropes)...
- The Point of Divergence is 1610 when English inventor William Lee's stocking frame knitting machine sparked a glorious industrial revolution in France.
- Bonnie Prince Charlie then overthrows the Hanover dynasty in England in 1745 with help from a much wealthier France, cementing peace between the kingdoms. Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette presided over the union of France and England into the Anglo-French Empire, which reigned over most of western Europe and North America through the end of the 19th century.
- Thanks to France and England joining the Anglo-French Empire, the American Revolution was swiftly suppressed in 1776.
- The "Old Bourbon Empire" finally collapsed in 1901 after a decade of civil conflicts that involved chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons in what is none as the Mustard War, and was reorganized into the United Atlantic States in 1902.
- The UAS decided to recognize corporate personhood to revitalize its struggling economy in 1909, and this opened the door for the corporation Starch Kola, producer of the world's most popular beverages and snack foods, to be elected president in 1965.
- By 1973, sea levels had risen so high that cities were cut off from each other, rendering automobiles obsolete. The reduction of farmland caused a global famine between 1976 and 1979, which was solved by Starch Kola inventing synthetic meat and making the technology public.

2024.05.08 08:12 applesandclover Looking for the name (and recipe) of an india snack/cake:
It was made with dal (toor dal, maybe), a bit of jaggery, and I think some flour. The key thing was various spices including fenugreek and (my favorite) black mustard seeds were tempered in ghee that was poured at the bottom of the pan before the batter was poured in. I was told it's often steamed in India but the recipe I was using baked it.
It was a savory sweet flat cake of deliciousness and I would love to make it again. Does this ring a bell for anyone? Does anyone have any idea what this kind of snack might be called?

2024.05.07 03:17 LD50_irony 4DPO hysterectomy + salpingectomy - everything was more than they thought!
Had my hysterectomy+ salpingectomy (i.e. everything but the ovaries) on Thursday and have already received all of my results back.
My fibroid was larger than expected (12.3 cm) and partially calcified. Uterus + fibroid(s) was 838g! (A normal uterus is about 60g.)
No malignancies detected in any of the samples sent to path (yay!).
I had mild chronic active cervicitis. They also found adenomyosis and deeply infiltrating endometriosis, none of which I had traditional symptoms of.
Even though I had no symptoms, I did tell the doc that my mother had a hysterectomy due to endometriosis. Since then I've looked it up and while there isn't a single gene that causes endometriosis, it does run in families; the highest risk factor is if one of your siblings has it.
Thank you so much to all the folks who have posted here! Due to your suggestions, I started dulcolax and miralax right away and had a totally fine/non-painful bowel movement on day three. The grabber has been super useful, as have the extra pillows to wedge behind me as needed. Drugs, snacks, etc are all on the table next to me.
I may do a separate post about it but all of this post-surgery laying down has really kicked me into an LPR flare! Not sure if anyone else has run into this.
Again, thanks to everyone who had posted here and I am happy to answer any questions you have!
Edit to add: I am also a fat 43yo (5'10, 310 pounds, BMI 44) just in case any other big folks have questions. The size of my uterus meant that I had a mini lap in which they used the DaVinci robot for most of the work but eventually had to add a 3" incision along my bikini line because the fibroid was too big to get out through my vagina.

2024.05.06 13:17 Financial-Concert982 Help required after being used as a rebound by BPD ex gf
Long rant, but perhaps people can relate to this experience and may share how they overcame similar situations, so please bear with me
Around five years ago, I briefly dated a girl whom I strongly suspect has BPD. Our interactions were platonic - limited to holding hands and watching movies during our time in college. However, she just wanted to be friends. I kept trying to persuade her to be more than friends, but we had a huge argument over something trivial, and never spoke to each other again.
Over the years, I occasionally thought of her. She represented my first and only somewhat romantic encounter, albeit strictly platonic. I have my own issues; the isolation brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic further exacerbated my pre-existing tendencies toward social withdrawal. However, that's a separate topic. Five years later, after I made some bank and travelled around the world, the same girl unexpectedly pops in my DMs, seemingly drawn by images of my adventures in exotic islands. Ironically, my flaunting of wealth was merely an act of arrogance after an episode of extreme depression, one that I may never financially recover from, but she didn't know that.
After 1 week of stalking my profile obsessively and a couple of heart reacts that I ignored, she drops some extreme love-bombing on me. Mind you, this was probably the most amount of attention I ever received in my life. It was like a drug. It was... something else, for a man that had a life of extreme social, romantic and sexual eventlessness.
During our college days, she rarely divulged personal details. However, she now unloaded a torrent of trauma onto me—stories of a difficult relationship with her alcoholic and jobless father, vagina-related injuries, a childhood marred by severe poverty, and a series of failed relationships, with a pattern of two-year-long relationships with some flings in between, not to mention the things she didn’t tell me that I had the displeasure of learning from 3rd parties. Notably, she had a peculiar habit of dating significantly older men, some 15 to 20 years her senior, while still in her early twenties.
After some 8 days of extremely cheesy messaging, she hops in my bed. This was not even a month after she was in the bed of her ex of 2 years!!! She still had some things to move out of the previous apartment where she lived with her ex. I would've liked not to know anything about her past, but she was a chatterbox when it came to her exes. She would talk more about her exes than about her relationship and future with me.
In hindsight, I should have recognized the warning signs. However, my lack of experience and infatuation with the idea of love clouded my judgment. I projected an idealized image of her from our college days onto her present self, until reality shattered that illusion. Without intending to be insensitive, she had physically changed for the worst since college, while I had reached the peak of my physical fitness.
The relationship soured rapidly as she criticized my inexperience and trivial matters triggered extreme tantrums. For instance, failing to hold a door for her due to her unusually fast walking pace or offering to carry her bag a minute too late. At the cinema, I forgot to purchase snacks, prompting her to sit in silence throughout the film and unleash a barrage of vitriol of the likes I've never believed anyone to be capable of, in a lengthy text afterward, which I had to dissect and apologize for. This pattern akin to a "humiliation ritual" occurred frequently during our walks and dates for various petty reasons, yet we invariably reconciled the same night, only to have sex the next morning. She probably never was with an inexperienced guy, and wanted me to have some sort of pornstar tier performance, like getting it up 2+ times, choking her, pulling her hair, while I barely had my first kiss with her some days prior.
She adamantly refused to make our relationship public, citing concerns that others might perceive her as having cheated on her ex with me. She even avoided physical displays of affection in public and steered clear of certain areas during our nighttime strolls. I allowed myself to be treated as a doormat.
Unable to endure her verbal abuse and antics any longer, I began retaliating with insults, ultimately leading to our breakup. At that point, she used my inexperience against me, told me that she understands now why no one dated me before, how pathetic I was in bed (ddduhh, these were my first times, when she’d done it hundreds or thousands of times). Sometimes it was as if the devil was speaking through her. She would realise this afterwards however, and apologise – but the damage was done. We agreed to never speak to eachother again despite her wanting to remain friends? What a load of crap.
I think I found her at the height of her BPD and was used as an emotional punching bag. She was not like this in college. She was a soft-spoken bookworm, not a prima-donna sex fiend. Most likely due to my inexperience and stubbornness, I accelerated her idealisation, devaluation and discard process. She found a new guy not even a month after our last message, and made the relationship public straight away. Of course, a guy 10 year her senior this time, as she had a habit of jumping from a lover her age to a surrogate-father like figure. As far as I am concerned, she was probably chatting with him since we were together, she would be extremely annoyed if I threw a glance at her phone – not to mention, she’d be on that fucking phone even when she was in bed with me, in between ‘’rounds’’.
In hindsight, I realize I was merely a rebound for her, and I am extremely saddened that my first and only sexual and romantic experience had to happen so late (mid late 20s), and with such a troubled woman.
If any of you have been through something similar to my experience, how did you manage to stop thinking about what happened? I think I have some slight PTSD due to this, as I have trouble concentrating at work and barely managed to do anything productive 1 month after we cut contact. Sorry for the wall of text. I hope this did not break any rules.

During our college days, she rarely divulged personal details. However, she now unloaded a torrent of trauma onto me—stories of a difficult relationship with her alcoholic and jobless father, vagina-related injuries, a childhood marred by severe poverty, and a series of failed relationships, with a pattern of two-year-long relationships with some flings in between, not to mention the things she didn’t tell me that I had the displeasure of learning from 3rd parties. Notably, she had a peculiar habit of dating significantly older men, some 15 to 20 years her senior, while still in her early twenties.
After some 8 days of extremely cheesy messaging, she hops in my bed. This was not even a month after she was in the bed of her ex of 2 years!!! She still had some things to move out of the previous apartment where she lived with her ex. I would've liked not to know anything about her past, but she was a chatterbox when it came to her exes. She would talk more about her exes than about her relationship and future with me.
In hindsight, I should have recognized the warning signs. However, my lack of experience and infatuation with the idea of love clouded my judgment. I projected an idealized image of her from our college days onto her present self, until reality shattered that illusion. Without intending to be insensitive, she had physically changed for the worst since college, while I had reached the peak of my physical fitness.
The relationship soured rapidly as she criticized my inexperience and trivial matters triggered extreme tantrums. For instance, failing to hold a door for her due to her unusually fast walking pace or offering to carry her bag a minute too late. At the cinema, I forgot to purchase snacks, prompting her to sit in silence throughout the film and unleash a barrage of vitriol of the likes I've never believed anyone to be capable of, in a lengthy text afterward, which I had to dissect and apologize for. This pattern akin to a "humiliation ritual" occurred frequently during our walks and dates for various petty reasons, yet we invariably reconciled the same night, only to have sex the next morning. She probably never was with an inexperienced guy, and wanted me to have some sort of pornstar tier performance, like getting it up 2+ times, choking her, pulling her hair, while I barely had my first kiss with her some days prior.
She adamantly refused to make our relationship public, citing concerns that others might perceive her as having cheated on her ex with me. She even avoided physical displays of affection in public and steered clear of certain areas during our nighttime strolls. I allowed myself to be treated as a doormat.
Unable to endure her verbal abuse and antics any longer, I began retaliating with insults, ultimately leading to our breakup. At that point, she used my inexperience against me, told me that she understands now why no one dated me before, how pathetic I was in bed (ddduhh, these were my first times, when she’d done it hundreds or thousands of times). Sometimes it was as if the devil was speaking through her. She would realise this afterwards however, and apologise – but the damage was done. We agreed to never speak to eachother again despite her wanting to remain friends? What a load of crap.
I think I found her at the height of her BPD and was used as an emotional punching bag. She was not like this in college. She was a soft-spoken bookworm, not a prima-donna sex fiend. Most likely due to my inexperience and stubbornness, I accelerated her idealisation, devaluation and discard process. She found a new guy not even a month after our last message, and made the relationship public straight away. Of course, a guy 10 year her senior this time, as she had a habit of jumping from a lover her age to a surrogate-father like figure. As far as I am concerned, she was probably chatting with him since we were together, she would be extremely annoyed if I threw a glance at her phone – not to mention, she’d be on that fucking phone even when she was in bed with me, in between ‘’rounds’’.
In hindsight, I realize I was merely a rebound for her, and I am extremely saddened that my first and only sexual and romantic experience had to happen so late (mid late 20s), and with such a troubled woman.
If any of you have been through something similar to my experience, how did you manage to stop thinking about what happened? I think I have some slight PTSD due to this, as I have trouble concentrating at work and barely managed to do anything productive 1 month after we cut contact. Sorry for the wall of text. I hope this did not break any rules.

2024.05.05 08:26 ImpeccableCilantro Conference and Event Food
I’m winding down after the last day of a conference
At the closing banquet, the allergy friendly options were literally plain white rice, a bowl of undressed salad greens, and unseasoned chicken or salmon. There were a few packets of ranch dressing and mustard, and some lemon slices on the table as well.
After a pal reminded staff that I am vegetarian as well as gluten free, she persuaded them to open and drain a can of chickpeas.
I was so grumpy about it that I ordered some door dash to the banquet so I could have a meal I actually enjoyed
The first day of the conference, they didn’t provide any gluten free meals or snacks at all (not even the ubiquitous bowl of fruit that is our always and forever conference snack, just pastries as far as the eye can see)
There was nowhere to buy food within walking distance, and the organizers seemed surprised that we even expected them to accommodate dietary restrictions (even though they were printed on our meal tickets)
I’ve never encountered anything this bad. Like, I have absolutely no culinary training, but I would be embarrassed to offer somebody that meal
I paid the same registration fee as everybody else, and am really upset that I had to purchase several meals (and the meals that were provided were so substandard)
It’s really left me feeling bitter about the whole weekend, even though the workshops were lovely

2024.05.04 23:15 Bronco_Corgi What the hell happened to chinese hot mustard?!
In the 70s when you would go to a chinese restaurant they would give you a bowl of chow mein noodles to snack on while food is being cooked. And on the table was a container of yellow fire they called mustard. You would dip the chow mein noodle in the chinese hot mustard, but not too much because my gawd it would burn your brain's frontal lobes if it was too much. Seriously, too much and your eyes involuntarily close as you try to get through the next 20-40 seconds of intense pain and your ancestors come to visit you and call you a dumbass for eating that much at one time. Kinda like if you ate a tablespoon of wasabi and before the burn hit you did another table spoon just to make sure it was good to go.
Today chinese hot mustard is neither hot, nor really mustard (more like a DOW chemical waste product).
What happened to real chinese hot mustard?
