Can’t believe I’m thinking about a stranger’s anal fissures with my morning coffee, but aren’t anal fissures often the result of weird poopin (either diarrhea or constipation), and isn’t weird poopin often the result of GLP-1 usage? Most of Megan Trainor’s symptoms seem to be side effects of GLP-1s plus some unsurprising mental distress over being a public figure whose body changed so drastically.

Often, yes, and also yes. Medications for diabetes other than GLP-1s also tend to cause diarrhea (ask any diabetic about going back on metformin) and conditions like IBS are more common in women in general, being obese is strongly associated with both, and IBS and fissures go hand in hand. It could be any number of things, and both fissures and weird poops are common enough (~1 in 10 people will have fissures at some point in their life) that I'm not totally sure why she would feel compelled to share about them.
 
Oh good, now I get to be terrified of anal fissures on top of prion diseases.

The fuck you mean one in ten? I eat enough fiber to clog a sewage line in a well-appointed midwestern tier 1 research facility. I even got a talking to in Boston (iykyk, they still don't have a self-cleansing velocity grade sewer anywhere in Cambridge fyi) about how the plumbing couldn't handle my taste for insoluble fiber.

You haven't lived til your PI has to schedule a meeting with you and the facilities' manager to tell you to eat less.

Thread tax: my grant just got axed so I am allowed to PL. NIH fuckwads.

I cant feel pity for these women despite having the same issue bc girl, a partial hysterectomy is an outpatient surgery and the recovery hurts less than your period. Its really an easy procedure woth life changing benefits and you dont go through menopause because it spares the ovaries, or have muscle damage because its done with a laser. If you don't need it, yeet it.

The positive(?) side of it is they're usually pretty harmless and tend to resolve entirely on their own! Some people even mistake them for hemorrhoids because the symptoms are similar. Stick with the fiber, probiotics, and plenty of hydration, and try not to sit on the toilet for too long if you can if you can help it. Sorry for the off-topic poop talk!
 
One way to tell that munchies are full of bullshit is researching if their multiple syndromes are related. Like for instance, hEDS, POTS, MCAS, are very different syndromes, and don’t have a possible link to each other. Another way to tell is when a person has all of these syndromes out of nowhere. Nobody gets diagnosed with a bunch of syndromes at the same time, particularly syndromes that don’t have a known link to each other.
 
Legit if I start prion sperging I might never stop. Those things are fucking terrifying.
Ok you can start in my opinion.

Agreed for women like 45+ years of age but munchies are 20 something usually so hard disagree women are judged by their fertility unfortunately
 
Girl. Would you rather the nurses just let you hang out with your kitty on display all night? Them telling you to put some PJ pants on is the thing designed to humiliate you?! Oh my god. This is like if someone bleed through their pants on their period. Every woman alive would happily be politely notified to tie a sweater around your waist, as embarrassing as it may be, rather than continuing to walk around with a blood stain. On top of everything else, Kendra is clearly not a girl's girl! Shocker.

Nurse: hey, can you put some clothes on? You're basically in a public space
Kendra: OMG YOU WANT TO RAPE ME

Her claiming that she has to be naked only to get worried because she was "sexually assaulted" in the past really irks me. Her "sexual assault" was that retard that flashed her at Joliet Terrace, by the way. Granted, some women go the other direction, but most people that were raped (especially in a similar setting) would try their best to be as covered as possible to protect themselves. Or even without that experience. Psych wards and similar places are humiliating enough without the fear of being assaulted. Five minutes of privacy is a privilege.

She's plotting something. She kept sharing all those selfies while also begging for $300, and she got at least that much in one day. Promised to individually thank her donors. But CFS flare nap first

Then she had a coma from thirst. Did she mention she's hot, and gay???

She also suspects that the state is inspecting the shelter. Cue her crediting herself if anything gets done, even if it's that she now gets six nuggets instead of five

Turns out her cause of death was actually AIDS.

Looked into it more, and it seems to be a combo of menigitis and sepsis aggravated by AIDS? Could also be from some articles not updating recently. It is mind boggling that people, especially in the US, still die from it. Also a good reminder that dirty needles transmits HIV as effectively as unprotected sex.

While Ace is most vocal about it, there are Long Haulers that love to compare Long Covid to HIV or AIDS. Her cause of death was going to be exploited by them no matter what it was.
 
It's been good. I don't think it will teach munchies because it is very direct with things. Each seasons had an arc dealing with death and diginity in chronic illness or family fighting over DNRs. It even had an ICE arc.
So like Atlanta Medical ( which might also be called The resident ). That one was also pretty cool in terms of a medical drama tbh.

Not surprising. HIV is not uncommon in that scene and if she stayed away from doctors as well as she did her money then its not a big surprise she kicked the bucket from a totally preventable disease. There will be documentaries about this girl I think, the more people find out. Its always fascinating when someone abandons a fortune regardless of what they spend their time doing but to abandon it for drugs? Most junkies dream of the money she pretended she didnt have. Very interesting indeed. The fact she was gorgeous doesn't hurt. Hopefully someone with some grit gets the first hbo spot about it rather than the Book of the Month Reese Witherspoon schlop I'm fully expecting.
 
Seems we have a mediocre celeb vying for the Munchie Queen crown!

Trainor's been munching for years. I remember reading an article in a People magazine during lockdown where she whined about her struggle with postpartum Anxiety and Leaky Gut Syndrome. Note: I know postpartum mental illness is a very real legitimate thing/not shaming women who struggle with mental health after giving birth. I was referencing the Leaky Gut Syndrome
