  I feel sorry for your vag.

  If it helps, I have taken my vag camping several times. 

  I hope you've also given it a Clark bar.

  It eats a steady diet of Clark bars and pickle oils.

  @MRads‌ I had the same issue for at least a year before ingot pregnant with Jadzia. It always lasted a day or two before and after AF. Except the cycle I got my bfp. It only lasted a day which made me think something was up. I had found something on Dr Google that said there was a correlation between hormone changes and wisdom teeth. Not sure if it's true but was enough to convince myself it was normal

  I've been having really, really runny earwax these past few days. Drip, drip, driiiiip....
  There's been a clinical study looking at earwax consistency and breast cancer risk, so I feel fully justified posting this in the medical update thread.

  Uh-oh. I was googling for a nightlight recommendation for L's room, and it turns out using nightlights can cause cancer.

  Some one on FB recommended Essential Oils for one of my sisters friends who is asking about teething remedies. OMG.  This chick said she would be willing to drive an hour to pick up essential oils from said woman (who I know and do not care for).

  
  

  My sister said "Save your money on essential oils and give her a frozen bagel to chew on!!"

  I am not a person who hated the dentist, but that was one of the worst dental experiences. I had to get two fillings replaced, on the top and one on the bottom. She numbed the top and bottom at the same time. The Novocain made my heart start racing really fast almost like i was gonna pass out. Never happened before and I have had more dental work than I can remember. After we waited for that to pass, it made my eye go numb, which feels really weird, and I have been crying out that eye ever since. Then while she worked on the top tooth, the numb wore off the bottom, so they had to give me more shots.

  @mrshudson618‌ I have to get carbocaine (it doesn't have epi) when I have dental work. Otherwise my heart races and I start almost convulsing. Do you have a heart murmur or anything that you know of?

  no. I have had Novocaine many, many times without issue, but the last two times I had work done I had to have carbocaine because I was pregnant. 

  
  

  ETA: actually I did have a heart murmur as a kid caused by a minor valve problem, I think they said I could grow out of it?

  I'm not a doctor, but I think clearly this is because your wine vitamin levels are low. You need a wine supplement!

  I had not contemplated that. We are out of wine. And DD stole my chocolate ( this is obviously the root of my problem.

  Gummy vitamins are not snacks.  They are safe and will not cause cancer, tooth decay or general decay of society's value of actual real fruit that grows on trees or bushes.
