what's happening to our borad TMI

- jaysus that shite was as good as a ride

wow

"man, that piss was as satisfying as a shag"

Also, I have to point out that poop on ILTMI is hardly anything new. In fact it was there from Day 1.

you aren't embracing the concept

-got my red wings last week. was fun and seemingly nothing bad happened you'd expect. (the girl... we've been talking like i'd talk to as a friend and i know her as a friend of friends, think 'occasional drunken fumble' is enough but then feel bad for thinking that.)

ok tell me more about that

because I would never let anyone go down on me if I were on the rag but maybe thats just me

Word? No, it's really not a big deal.

There should be a conversation - a disclosure - because I guess some people find it off-putting. But it's not even mentioned in my household anymore.

Wait are you guys talking tamp in or out cause neither is really my thing (never done it but no interest tbh) but no tamp just seems O_O to me.

Tamp in is no big thing. Not on the first couple of days tho

guys i hate to be 'that guy' but unless y'all are rednosin right now then pls take it to a non-current event thread

- pickin my arse

Because another thread about shit was exactly what we needed.

Besides they could be multitasking a la LJ. How do you know?!

ya true

Thread in no way limited to fecal matter fwiw

Derailing is all I know, man. :/

Wait are you guys talking tamp in or out cause neither is really my thing

Out! Really nbd.

Have fun with that.

I mean it's cool that you're fine with it and all. Never really been appealing for me.

I now have the word "clamato" stuck in my head

That shit is a) wrong and b) rank.

the tax clamato

my contribution is that, I've been eating a lot of fiber lately, and zounds!

how do I killfile this thread

I asked stet for a "Hide Thread" option last year, but NOOOOOOOOOOO

I can't fuck during my period because it hurts too much.

that's the look i've been waitin for, marcy sign those boys up

xp xp xp xp

took a crap this morning and was horrified to see that it was forest green and started to freak out because i cant afford to get a stomach flu at the moment because i am too busy and only remembered hours later that i had guzzled an entire bottle of unnaturally colored gatorade FIERCE GRAPE last afternoon and that was the culprit

guys i had curry AND fajitas yesterday

cool

I used to eat these as a kid

and well

clamato is delicious actually

TMI

Over the line

your display name takes on a whole new meaning on this thread fyi

to those who asked: umm, we ended up at hers after a party and only like midway she was all 'oh and i'm on, is that cool?' and i was all 'well fuck you could have said before hand but as there doesn't seem to be a problem for either of us so far, we might as well just carry on'. as towards the tamp situation, well shit i was stoned, tired and it was dark, i honestly cant remember.

let us know if you start shitting cotton

i guess it isnt necc unhealthy if someone elses blood is in your stool, so youve got that going for you

about now is when I thought about posting a picture of Cotton Mather but I don't think he's got proper face recognition to make the joke work

got images of sam taking some strong tokes on a blazin tampon tbh

I guess it probably depends on how heavy a girl's flow is? ime a lot of guys are ok with it, but I'm with erica on this topic.

Mine is somewhere between Niagara Falls and a firehose, but actually, my problem with it is that my vagina is too tender for a thrusting penis during my period--I always felt like I'd been sandpapered up in there afterward.

one thing i'm regretting is being one the first people to get a rolling tmi thread going; the rest of y'all get to be in the skip all messages.

there for posteriority

put a towel down, carry on, imo

words to live life by

my period is late

mine too. I better not be pregnant; I had a very indulgent month.

Grumbly guts.

Being bloated and having a fat stomach all the time and/or stomach cramps, which is the stage before the shits, which are by that time probably a great relief.

bloated, big bag of bloatation

yeah definite bloating and abdominal discomfort as quotidian state of being

My husband has something similar, jim, and it’s miserable - he’s had it most of his life, has tried to get diagnosis/medical treatment to no avail. Various diets haven’t effected any improvement. Everyone insists it’s gluten and/or dairy but he’s mostly vegan and we spent two weeks in Italy a couple years ago, where he ate way more bread and pasta than usual plus cheese and gelato. I’ve done lots of research on this for him and it’s a really understudied area of health.

Recticare is great for pain around an inflamed butt; a portable bidet bottle is useful for travel; Metamucil can help (he eats an extremely high fiber diet but also takes like 12 Metamucil caps a day and def notices things are worse if he doesn’t). He’s also had some success with this supplement called Endefin, when things are really bad. Apparently it tastes horrendous but does help.

The “quotidian state of being” re stomach pain etc is otm. It’s a really horrible condition to live with, esp because it’s such a TMI subject.

I took a late shower today and had picked up my clothes to smell my t-shirt to see if I should change it or put it back on, which is how I ended up inadvertently mashing my own dirty underwear in my face and taking a huge sniff.

Started ADHD medication ( which is like hen's teeth for adults in the UK ) and feeling alternately great and fucked. keep drinking my normal amount of coffee forgetting I've already got plenty of stimulant coursing thru. And alcohol hangovers seem worse.

I just crapped with a back brace on in the hospital, exactly as doctors have longed to see for a week

(yes I was on a toilet)

i say this with genuine love: good for you!

(yes I was on a toilet)

bit inconsiderate, if these coprodocs have been fanging to watch

So I have the sort of opposite prob to Jim - I have IBS-C which mean I have a BM around 2-3 times per week. It’s gotten progressively worse over the past five years but my main symptoms are severe and incredibly painful bloating where nothing fits and I look pregnant but my stomach is hard as a rock. I am also nauseous a lot of the time and it’s just awful. I’m trying to eat low FODMAP but it requires so much planning. Right before lockdown the doc ordered a bunch of tests to rule out coeliac and IBD but I haven’t had the chance to get them done yet. The bloating is particularly awful because I have some pretty bad body dysmorphia on the best of days so it’s a never ending cycle of physically feeling like shit and then obsessing over how my body looks because of the bloating and I’m just so tired of it.

bah that sounds really awful enbb, i'm sorry. i wish i had something more helpful to say. the fodmap thing has always sounded bananas to me. my mom was on it for awhile and it was incredibly complex just to like, order a pizza!

uugghhh ENBB that SUCKS, every part of it, the stress of dysmorphia on top of physical pain sounds truly horrible. I really really really want the best things for you and I hope they find some good breakthrough shit for you to manage this!!!

Aww, thanks both. Yeah, it sucks. It also feels like I’ve been sort of dismissed by doctors repeatedly who just say oh that’s just IBS nbd and maybe it is “just IBS” but for me the symptoms are actually a very big deal and I just want to get the tests done to rule out anything else.
I’ve definitely had to stay home from work and cancel plans because of it but even when it’s not flaring you badly it’s something I deal with almost every day in some way.

TH - eating out is so hard which is why I get frustrated and just eat what I want a lot of the time but then feel sick. It is so hard avoiding things like onions and garlic for instance. A) They’re delicious but B) They’re in everything!! Anyway to anyone else suffering with this I feel you and I’m sorry.

That's horrible, ENBB! Ugh why are our bodies so stubborn about what is and isn't good for us. I would love to say that FODMAP stuff looks like hippie BS but unfortunately it mirrors my reactions entirely too well. I'm especially bummed that now AVOCADOS seem to be giving me symptoms which is just...WHAT WILL YOU NOT TAKE FROM ME?

It won't take any shit from her - that's the problem!

(sorry to hear this for both of you)

i have a question/comment/or concern. friday night i ate a pretty normal dinner and some wine that i got from the sale rack. it was a naturally fermented wine and it tasted kind of bad, like stinky cheese. it tasted warm even though it was chilled. i got used to it but wouldn't buy again. anyway a couple hours later i got VERY sick but only for 10 minutes or so. couldn't decide whether i wanted to puke or had diarrhea. then i got a very, very loud ringing in my ear and became extremely sweaty. i felt horrible. i thought i was dying. i did get diarrhea, then it was over and i quickly rebounded to feeling 90% good. the only weird thing i ate was the wine. so the next day i was like, i really don't believe this gross wine did this to me and i drank it again (yes, i'm stupid, i do things like this all the time, i don't know what's wrong with me, this is not the point). nothing bad happened. finished the bottle sunday with no ill effects. what was this? anyone ever get tinnitus and food poisoning like symptoms?

i hate to say it but have you considered getting a covid test? weird bouts of nausea can be a symptom. tinnitus was one of the symptoms when i got it (and i still have it now, many months later). i don’t want to be alarmist but i’d maybe try to get one.

i guess you're right. NO other symptoms, though? ever?

i think it can be extremely variable. but yeah who knows.

i think i had this a couple times when i was already dehydrated / heat-strokey?

In the hospital, rightly label a fall risk, on weird antibiotics.

Thanks to those I think I've shit the bed at least 8 or 9 times today.

^^underrated Radiohead lyric.

you think you have but you haven't, or you've done it so much that you can't count?

Lost count.

I like to think the ward nurses just wheel in a new bed every 40 minutes, swap you over, and throw the last one out the window.

What happened?

XP Nah, they just roll me over, clean me up, and change the pad under me.

The first time they used a bedpan, but things were too fast and furious to stay that course.

This was topped by three final attacks during a shift change, with me sitting in my own shit watching Anderson Cooper for an hour waiting for who actually was my night nurse.

Huge abcess on the back of my thigh. Antibiotics gave me the shits.

...and today's my birthday.

How huge is huge

Maybe four or five inches of hard stuff that softens and tapers down to my knee.

Tl;Dr; lapsed diabetic injured himself in same place in household accidental falls earlier in the month, thought it was just really stiff muscles. Was very wrong.

Aww damn :(.

Happy birthday, even if it's not feeling amazing right now.

Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry dude. Year has nowhere to go but up!

Feel better, man.

That is ROUGH and I hope it all clears up swiftly. I remember being scoured clean by antibiotics I took for a bad tooth once, some moments of great panic looking for a restroom.

sorry about yr abcess. last time i was on antibiotics it gave me a yeast infection. preferable to shitting oneself imo. and happy birthday? today is mine. happy birthday to us!

Antibiotics are the worst except for all the things they save us from. Happy birthday!

happy birthdays grisso and harbl!!

ditto happy birthdays!

Sorry for your troubles Grisso :(

They've ended up putting me in diapers.

Had a wound pump installed this morning. Should be interesting.

can't believe you're not listing 'obscure songs i heard in the hospital'

good luck man <3

There's no music in this hospital :-(

Maybe I'll blast some Replacements or Northern Soul off Spotify later.

Yikes! Good wishes for you and all your seeping holes.

Wound Vacuum, don't know where pump came from.

So many people have handled my genitals and butthole the past few days.

Saying hello and get better Grisso

From the toilet, where i am currently sitting

Man, that is rough. I remember my diabetic sister having to deal with an abscess right at the top of her ass crack. I don’t recall antibiotics trouble, just a PHN coming every day to change out the packing materiel.

They're supposed to be so painful. A coworker had one last year and it took months to heal.

To clarify - I don't have one. I was saying (two months later) that that was what Justine's sister probably had.

I've had one, two of my kids have had them, my father had one, both of my parents-in-law have had one. They are a drag.
