I was not told ANYTHING about the possible side effects of having this proceedure. Since then I have experienced heavy bleeding lasting sometimes 3 weeks out of the month, weight gain, severe mood swings. Severe cramping, changes to my libido, severe depression accompanied by suicidal thoughts, headaches, migraines, many new symptoms & older issues are now exacerbated. The father of two of my children doesn't want me anymore. I've become too much of a pain in the ass I guess. We don't talk. We don't sleep in the same bed. I think he might really think I am crazy... & maybe I am. I feel crazy a lot of the time.<br />I'm unpredictable. I feel so angry about the whole thing & now what was once a mild fear of doctors has exploded into full on white coat syndrome that causes me to have a panic attack/hypertensive emergency (severe increase in blood pressure) whenever I have to deal with them. I'm not sure what to do... I fear the next time I have to see a doctor I'll have a stroke or a heart attack from the stress & anxiety of it... what do I do?

I had endometriosis for 18 years and i never thought i would ever get a cure due to the terrible symptoms i had and this made it impossible for me to get pregnant even after 12 years of marriage and it was a serious issue. I got to know about Dr. LEETU who treated someone and the person shared a story of how she got a cure and let her contact details, i contacted Dr. LEETU and he actually confirmed it and i decided to give a try too and use his herbal medicine that was how my burden ended completely. My son will be 2 this december and i am greatful to God and thankful to his for medicine too.

I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and she left the contact of the doctor who had the natural cure to fibroid. I never imagined fibroid has a natural cure if not surgery not until i contacted him and he assured me my wife will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my wife used it as instructed by Dr Williams, and in one months time we went to the hospital for scan and the doctor confirmed that there is no trace of fibroid and now she is fully okay, even up till this moment she is so full of life. fibroid has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get his medication.Leonardo DiCapriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02592265814713679138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104133899683862907.post-3931697941235652532019-02-01T06:40:55.594-08:002019-02-01T06:40:55.594-08:00I would like to share my personal experience in th...I would like to share my personal experience in this field. Some time ago I was ready to give everything for the opportunity to become a mother. Biologically I am now my baby mother. I have no eggs and due to cancer and I lost my uterus. I had no variants. Since I am from Hungary surrogacy is illegal here. We started looking for variants abroad, here a cost varies greatly. After reviewing a large number of clinics, we contacted native iyabasira native clinic They offered an ‘all inclusive’ package that we were very happy with, as we were only focused on winning. And it is much cheaper than somewhere else and we were surprised with conditions and attitude to us. After 1.5 years we became parents. And it is pricelessly. this is mother iya herbs works, email info (nativeiyabasira@yahoo.com) In such cases her herbs is a real solution to become a happy mum.<br /><br />Addeline Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647555983069148585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104133899683862907.post-91104680456942993872018-10-16T23:05:21.757-07:002018-10-16T23:05:21.757-07:00O thanks, admin your site and blog is very impress...O thanks, admin your site and blog is very impressive and good to see.

Likewise, I feel the online dating scene has really only given superficial people a better outlet to picture-trawl, in that a pretty reasonable expectation is that people won't bother reading your profile, but will message you if they determine you're good looking enough. Not to say that people aren't superficial IRL, just that IRL you are either forced to have face-to-face conversation - which helps facilitate interest in people or lack of interest - or ignore them outright.<br /><br /><br />In any event, the way I see it, if you've nothing to hide there shouldn't be any reason to put your things on private. I only put my things on private because, as mentioned earlier, I really just keep my stuff in-family. I'm not posting anything revealing, just that if somebody wants to read my stuff, it's going to have to be because we're close enough.<br /><br /><br />Like I said, I've only met young Libertarians, and it's pretty difficult these days to be between 18-22 and also bigoted. Like, I've met people tone deaf on issues of sex and race, but I've never really met too many young people legitimately racist, sexist, or homophobic, and if they were, I can't say I knew their political affiliation.<br /><br /><br />Agreed on the growing out part. What so many young people don't really hold dear is the idea of learning new things. I've been taking notes, and it really seems that, over the years, there are certain people who insist that they know who they've been since 16, 18, 20, and so on, and just roost on that without any intention of changing, like no amount of feedback or learning new things could ever shake who they feel they will always be. This, of course, opens up a very dangerous Pandora's box, as these people will eventually have children, and yet as they become 30, 40, 50, and so on, will, apparently, remain in a mental state of being 16 (or however old they were when they decided they were absolutely resolute in everything)Katrina Haffnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755089311765920210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104133899683862907.post-54417762807493975502015-03-01T15:42:59.719-08:002015-03-01T15:42:59.719-08:00Social media is getting interesting in that it is ...Social media is getting interesting in that it is normalizing online friendships. Being friends with someone you only knew online was stigmatized for a long time. Now, we've evolved to where it's only normal to have online friends, but date people online too, especially with the popularity of OKCupid and Tinder. With Facebook, they allow you to have certain lists, which I don't really utilize. People also have the choice to make their profiles public (like mine) so that not only can nonfriends see posts, but so people can "follow" the person rather than "friend" them.<br /><br /><br />It's interesting that you haven't come across the bigoted libertarians. Of the libertarian bad crops, those are the ones I see the most often. As for the young ones, I also see the problem of closemindedness and cognitive dissonance, but I think that most of them will grow out of it.Katrina Haffnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755089311765920210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104133899683862907.post-83823126701798225122015-02-25T11:09:59.833-08:002015-02-25T11:09:59.833-08:00Not sure I'm seeing your point in this post. I...Not sure I'm seeing your point in this post. I'm not sure sorting mail requires a degree, but if it does I'll definitely agree that's pretty silly.<br /><br /><br />As mentioned earlier, there are jobs that don't require a formal education. In other countries, people of high school age can choose to abandon your typical high school setting for a trade school, which I think is handy because while it's my belief that general high school should be mandatory anyway, some people 'just know' they want to do something like becoming an electrician and have no interest in pursuing academics further, and really, it's not like you can't go back and get a GED should you decide your trade isn't what all you want to do in life, or whatever.<br /><br /><br />So while I don't know about mail-sorting, I do know that a good lot of jobs that require a degree to even apply are probably doing so for good reason, such as doctors, teachers, economists, journalists, etc. Anybody can learn things in their spare time, even from accredited sources, but college tends to help give a sort of structure and consistency that might not be there otherwise.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />As for your last point, I couldn't agree more. I'd mentioned earlier the overwhelming amount of college students who just go to college to get their degree, much in the same way high school students didn't drop out just to get their diploma. Both groups probably hated school all throughout, likely got piss grades, and probably didn't really learn. The way to fix that isn't to make school harder to get into, though; it would just have to be a compound of a shift in education, as well as a shift in our culture. American culture is one of the few where being smart is still considered a bad or 'nerdy' thing to do, and it's even worse for females who want to be smart; there's been such a huge push to get women into math, science, and technology, yet those fields (namely technology) tend to have hostile work environments.<br /><br /><br />Blah.Katrina Haffnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755089311765920210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104133899683862907.post-4063394485918826132015-02-24T18:28:58.619-08:002015-02-24T18:28:58.619-08:00I'll be writing entire posts dedicated to what...I'll be writing entire posts dedicated to what I think about higher education (and government-funded education). Why I say high school education is "defunct" is because we, as a society, have to rely on it to get better pay, as you mentioned. However, how does higher education actually make you better in mundane jobs, such as working in the mail room sorting mail? I hear people talking about how in order to apply to some of these jobs, you need college degrees. I think that's insulting to those who have to work for years to complete a good education. My argument is that *because* we are placing more importance on this kind of education, it's what is saying high school graduates, college graduates, etc. need to be paid for. It's a social construct. The jobs are not necessarily being designed for the well educated, but are requiring the same qualifications, whether it's related to the work or not.<br /><br />I definitely think education on all levels has its purpose, but I also think that we're driving too many people to be educated to the point that most people are starting to forget why it's important to be so.he importance of being educated.Katrina Haffnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755089311765920210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104133899683862907.post-15500939523708251832015-02-24T17:45:33.454-08:002015-02-24T17:45:33.454-08:00Most of what you say would be ameliorated if colle...Most of what you say would be ameliorated if college were paid for the same way we currently pay for elementary, middle, and high. As I said earlier, high school used to be the same way college is now; we take for granted that fact every day.<br /><br /><br />There are pretty good reasons, though, why a plumber just needs to go to a plumbing trade school, but an engineer is more than likely going to need a master's before they go off and build nuclear power plants and what have you.<br /><br /><br />I'm glad not everything requires a degree, but I'd much rather have somebody with a PhD giving me open heart surgery than a guy who learned it from his dad and has been performing backalley ad hoc surgery as a hobby.Katrina Haffnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755089311765920210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104133899683862907.post-7741356835497067552015-02-24T17:35:34.568-08:002015-02-24T17:35:34.568-08:00#1 sounds scary with the legislation currently in ...#1 sounds scary with the legislation currently in place. I suppose it's a bit similar to alcohol in that different people have different tolerances, so the BAC or THC blood level will result in a different degree of impairment. I think ideally, we should do away with all chemical testing or set the legal thresholds higher than they currently are, then actually test the person's reflexes and awareness of their environment. Test the factors that directly affect a person's ability to drive.<br /><br />I'm definitely not advocating for the current field sobriety tests or anything like them though. In reality, they are used almost entirely to get the probable cause necessary for a breathalyzer test. Actually, in California, while cops by default mislead people into thinking they're required to take the field sobriety tests, in reality they have no legal obligation to do so. It's like cops "asking" to do a warrantless search of your car. I think the test of reflexes and awareness needs to be entirely computerized and in a private room where law enforcement cannot use intimidation or other tactics to affect the outcome.Katrina Haffnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755089311765920210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104133899683862907.post-56756943649959381982015-02-24T17:02:12.239-08:002015-02-24T17:02:12.239-08:00One thing I feel compelled to mention is that Appl...One thing I feel compelled to mention is that Apple was 100% responsible for what happened. In short, they had no maximum number of password attempts in place for downloading full iPhone backups from iCloud. Password lockouts are the most basic form of security, since any password can be cracked by a computer using brute force (trying every possibility) given enough time. There was mainstream commercially available software that would allow "hackers" to download a complete backup of a person's iPhone knowing (or guessing) only their email address. This would give anyone with the software - you don't need to know anything about hacking to use it - access to photos, text messages, notes, basically everything stored on the victim's iPhone. There is documented proof that Apple was informed of this vulnerability more than a year before the incident, and they took no action to fix the vulnerability. Realistically, any other company would be ruined if they made the same mistake, even without proof that they were informed and took no action. They were lacking the most basic of security measures while claiming that their products "just work," i.e. leading people to believe that security was taken care of.<br /><br />After the incident, Tim Cook came out and denied responsibility, blaming the victims for not using good enough passwords or falling for phishing schemes. Any password can be cracked given enough tries, so that's bullshit, and Apple never informed the user in any way when a backup was downloaded, so they couldn't find out their account was compromised until their data was publicly leaked. Apple's legalese explanation was "Our systems weren't compromised, just select accounts." In their book, it doesn't count unless the whole system is hacked. The truth is that hacking is guerilla warfare - hackers target weak points not strong points. There would be no reason to attack the entire system, since it was so easy to hack individual accounts and they were only interested in data from those accounts anyway. Basically, Apple's defense is yea we got robbed, but it doesn't count because they went through the side door and not the front gate.<br /><br />What's truly disturbing to me is that all of this info was publicly available, yet tons of regular people were still defending Apple. I read many times "well there you go, Apple said it wasn't their fault." This was a week before the iPhone 6 release, so it's not like they had any reason to be dishonest (rolleyes). Anyway, the reason I brought this up is that the female celebrities tried to sue not Apple, but ridiculously Google. Google had no involvement in the leak, but they claimed that it didn't take their photos down fast enough and they made advertising revenue off of them. Google operates almost entirely autonomously, so to actively take this stuff down the second it was posted, they'd have to put together a team of people. The lawsuit was basically suing Google for not immediately cleaning up a mess created by Apple and the celebrities themselves on Google's dime. The only explanation for this behavior is that Apple is the "cool" company, so as far as they are concerned Apple can do no wrong. Either that, or saying something bad about the cool kid could hurt their own social status. However, they weren't going to accept personal responsibility either, so they blamed someone else with deep pockets who isn't as well liked. I don't think the celebrities were at fault, but if any party other than Apple and the hackers is responsible, it's them. Their decision to sue Google shows me that they don't care about real justice, so while they are victims, their actions make it harder to sympathize with them.<br /><br />I do agree with pretty much everything you said in the article though.Katrina Haffnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755089311765920210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104133899683862907.post-80934474658263490412015-02-24T16:27:45.952-08:002015-02-24T16:27:45.952-08:00First let me say I read your take on the article, ...First let me say I read your take on the article, but I didn't take the time to read the original myself. I definitely think taking such photos is disrespectful and violating, and ideally this sort of this would be illegal. However, I would have a difficult time supporting any legislation that sought to make it so. <br /><br />Whether or not a crime was committed would depend on the intent of the person taking the photos, and that's something that frequently is impossible to prove. If such legislation was passed, I can see guys like the one in the article hiring a good lawyer and getting off because there's a reasonable doubt that the pictures weren't intentional. I can also see the legislation being abused for many other purposes. Overall I think such legislation could do alot to restrict our freedom in ways that we couldn't fully predict beforehand, and it's unlikely to help many victims of this sort of violation. If the law is broad enough to get convictions, it is going to greatly reduce our freedom and possibly result in false convictions. If the law requires proof of intent, it could still restrict our freedom while doing little to help the victims it was created for. <br /><br />I think the other commenter is on to something with the harassment approach. Taking such pictures would probably constitute harassment even under the current laws, but I think you'd run into the same issue with proving intent. If this guy was caught with up-skirt photos of multiple women, I think that would be enough to prove intent.Katrina Haffnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755089311765920210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104133899683862907.post-33507381362227332742015-02-24T16:02:30.627-08:002015-02-24T16:02:30.627-08:00I have looked into WA residency, and unfortunately...I have looked into WA residency, and unfortunately, it would require me to take a year off of school, which I have already done and it is too late in the game for me to do so again (seeing as how one of my studies requires constant work).Katrina Haffnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755089311765920210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104133899683862907.post-54510461574536664692015-02-22T13:41:35.267-08:002015-02-22T13:41:35.267-08:00I actually think that by making college more acces...I actually think that by making college more accessible, it will become as defunct as getting a high school education has become for real life functionality.

Its just a shame that most can't experience pure drugs, because of the "war" , criminals run the drug scene and are putting everyone in danger with cutting their drugs with impure substances and creating violence.Katrina Haffnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755089311765920210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104133899683862907.post-51624673037961081272015-01-19T10:13:50.308-08:002015-01-19T10:13:50.308-08:00I believe that e-cigs should be allowed and availa...I believe that e-cigs should be allowed and available to whoever wants them. But as a "healthy alternitive" or a cutting back method of smoking, they do not work.. Many of the "juices" that e-cigs burn to create the vapor contain just the same chemicals that are in cigarettes such as formaldehyde and countless others. Recent studies have also shown that more and more kids are becoming addicted to nicatine, directly from e-cigs, skipping out actual physical cigarette use completely.. something like 17% of people who use them to quit actually succeed, the rest get more heavily addicted to nicotine, and fall back on tobacco products when their e-cig runs out or breaks..Katrina Haffnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755089311765920210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104133899683862907.post-31020957157650090952015-01-19T09:04:48.651-08:002015-01-19T09:04:48.651-08:00Very Impressed with the way the US is starting to ...Very Impressed with the way the US is starting to handle cannabis.

There doesn't even need to be dialogue in comedy. That is why they play Mr Bean a lot on flights, it is universal comdey that any one can relate to, regardless of race, culture, or language..<br /><br />I also have a few friends who have very weak English, so when they come over I put on MR Bean so we can all laugh together.. :)Katrina Haffnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755089311765920210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104133899683862907.post-52970805678205768502015-01-19T08:54:39.719-08:002015-01-19T08:54:39.719-08:00you have a great voice.
