My stool's a lot better since I gave up cheese


Spoke too soon didn't I

Looks like I might have to give beans a wide berth from now on

I'll be down to protein pills at this rate

On the bright side, avoiding cheese might not be necessary any more.

I suppose there is that, yes. And lots of cheese can clog your arteries.

Yes, egg on toast is nothing without a slice of cheese between the toast and the egg. And a salad is nothing without a sprinkling of grated cheese in it.

You're the cheese monster you are

I was pleased with 59 BPM this morning
Would have been slower I think but I started moving about

At least my morning evacuation wasn't the same colour and consistency of sunny delight this morning

I can only assume it's because I cut down on the baked beans last night

So that's beans off the menu from now on

I'd suggest you stop mainlining dairy products.


My own post will just say

because I've only been out of surgery for 3 hours.

It's incredible how it just instantly works

I've moved on to freebasing cheese, like a dairy Rick James. :skull:

I think Google AI is actually a lot more validating, understanding, & sympathetic of my skin problems like chronic refractory Atopic Dermatitis & problems with my Medicaid not covering biologic meds like Dupixent than all the dermatologists & allergists I've had the misfortune of seeing throughout my life. I'm sick of getting told that I need to just keep trying with various topicals & eventually getting dismissed & told there's nothing else they can do. I really wish I could get my needed meds prescribed by Google AI because I'm starting to believe that I'd have a better chance of getting away with stealing meds from a pharmacy than getting Medicaid to approve biologics for me or getting any specialists or my GP to prescribe immunosuppressants. Me robbing a pharmacy is a bad joke to release frustration. It f#ckin sux I am not able to prescribe my own meds because I do LOTS of research & at this point I trust my own judgement a lot more than I trust those quacks. One doc apparently thought me being on Prednisone long-term was safer than immunosuppressants even though I built up a tolerance to Prednisone & it quit helping.

None of those f#ckers get how my skin problems are negatively affecting my quality of life despire my best efforts to explain. Sometimes it seems like my docs do not even have ears. Trying to get immunosuppressants online without a prescription has been problematic & costly & does not seem like an affordable viable long-term solution, especially since I think I may need to double my current dose of Methotrexate.

I saw my GP today & he said he's going to try explaining the situtation to a pharmacist nurse at the health center again & seeing if she'll tell him to try prescribing me an immunosuppressant. These meds are NOT restricted or controlled substanses & I told him I'd agree to frequent bloodwork & that I'd sign a waiver. I may hear back in a week or so & if he still refuses I'll try finding a doc online who would be open to prescribing Immunosuppressants. At least Google AI listed some possible online dermatologists options that state they sometimes prescribe Immunosuppressants. I'll probably have to pay out of pocket for the consultation but the prescription would be sent to my pharmacy & immunosuppressants should be covered by Medicaid, I've been checking Medicaid's med list for the last couple years.
