I hate you... I'm so jealous.
But otherwise I agree. Towels and showers are wonderful things, and believe it or not, such excerise seems to ... um... get things moving nad over with faster.

Besides, Western medicine is just processed versions of the same type of stuff. Eastern medicine has been around a hell of a lot longer, and the existence of a lot of quacks who practice Eastern Medicine doesn't invalidate its results. I know from firsthand experience that herbal medicines can do wonders for depression without the side effects of more common medication.AdmiralKanos wrote:(mind you, she went the "Chinese herbal remedy" route, and some people scoff at that, but frankly, since western medicine is basically silent on treatment of such chronic and non-acute problems, there's not much alternative).

The joke has been that if my mom wasn't Catholic she would have made a great witch. yeah, she has been heavily into herbal medicine Eastern and Western for years, long before it became trendy.
Of course now that it is trendy, she makes more money.....

So let's stop with the generalising of women, shall we?
My sister has PCO - she's currently killing herself with the Atkins diet in an attempt to deal with it - so lets not start her on 'alternative' medicine, shall we? Just because it comes from a long way away (temporalyl and spatially) doen't make it right. Christianity's been around for a long time too...

Yeah, she's been on medicine that stops anymore from growing - or bursting. (That would give her a *lot* of pain in her side and I'd have to take her to the ER...) Now, I'm not sure about details (lol) but the medicine has stopped anymore from growing, and the current ones from bursting or anything - but if she wants to get pregnant she'll have to take fertility shots and even then it'll be hard.AdmiralKanos wrote: Ovarian cysts can be treated, IIRC.

Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,--
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Uhhhhg, one of the reasons I'd like to move out of my house is that I can smell that she's on her period if I get within 7 feet of her, sometimes it'll even drift into my room from the trash can in the bathroom

The exact opposite happened to me today: my girlfriend thought she got a cramp but it turned out to be nothing and we got it on back at her dad's.

Oh yeah, another great part about being with her - her mom not only doesn't care if we do it, but she *encourages* it... sometimes with the things she says it gets extremely disturbing. I must admit is fucking hilarious though.
