ssdiva: I can't blame you for being a germaphobe, but remember that there are good bacteria too and their job is to fight off the bad germs. If we kill every germ and bacteria, we are utterly defenseless if a bad germ jumps off something or someone onto us.

My daughter is a germaphobe and it makes her less than enthusiastic about being in public places. It can cripple your life as much as a bad leg can. It can make you a prisoner in your own mind.

My SIL is virtually a recluse and stays within about 2 miles of her home. She won't drive a car, fly on a plane or go to a movie. She's gotten to the point where she just doesn't like people because they can possibly cause her to get the flu or Hepatitis or some other dread disease. She doesn't trust flu shots, or the medical profession. She doesn't want to be exposed to the germs in a doctor's office. The list goes on...

I'm not making light of your medical situation at all. I just see my daughter possibly becoming a recluse and I don't want that for her. I want her to be able to enjoy life and see the beauty in the world. I want the same thing for you!

Green - instead of humming try a small ice cube in your mouth. Or a menthol-based lozenge. Or having contact with something like a massager - hold it under your chin or on the side of your cheek - it will make your whole mouth buzz/vibrate.

Hey, cool! Thanks, Wheets. I am going to try this. My mate is a very good mate and he certainly does deserve a pleasant surprise. :D

Pop rocks candy also provides an interesting sensation, so I've been told.:D

And a fiscal Republican who is going to hold the Comptroller's Office does make sense/cents. :rolleyes

ROFLMAO Now that you have mentioned this I am starting to remember that I heard chat about this a longggggggggg time ago. Of course a grrl wouldn't want to spring this on a member of the Viagra set without prior warning unless you were sure that you were definitely written into the will.

DH just reminded me to point out that the lozenge thing is also very nice when used on the female. :whoo:

so i was talking to my DH about where this topic had drifted to and he said with the most earnest straight face i think i have ever seen 'Mentos mints work well too.'

oh reallly?????

I almost died laughing.

Think that might have been a suggestion?

Sonia, tell him that mentos are too sugar loaded, it has to be sugar free. Altoids work great :) ~Mandy

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
