Polls: Health & Fitness

I’m curious what the majority on a site like this think.

It is impossible to examine a patient thoroughly and accurately through a screen, but I do see the benefit if the patient has already been examined in person and continues to be seen regularly for the same issue. I think requiring that a patient’s first two appointments with the specialist be in person would be better. If there are no new issues then Telehealth / virtual appointments would be understandable.

Most people wash their hands several times a day, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic.

But how many times do you also wash your face?

Some of the shorter socks, designed for sport, have an L mark for your left foot and an R mark for your right foot. They look the same, but according to the manufacturer, they aren't. They're supposed to be thicker in certain areas.

What would you do? And what does that say about you?

As it can be seen it seems rough and stubbly skin on her legs. Such legs are never seen in movies/pics/modeling etc..

Is it normal for a woman to have such legs or it only happens with a woman who is excessively hairy bodied?

Over 18+ Question only -, personally 🪒 I usually do so once a week or once every two weeks, in the bathroom, then a shower rinse 🚿 🪒 aka just before a regular planned shower 🚿 I've done so as a late bloomer since 2024 at 30.

In the first scenario, you would never get to see the world, but in the second scenario, you would know what you are missing by having seen the world but then losing the ability to see.

You could clean off in a shower once per day, but you could not use toilet paper or a bidet.

For example breast enlargement creams/pills or any enlargement devices use for breasts, butts, etc. Even weight loss pills! IMHO they’re just gimmicks.

As many of you know, for the past year, I've been drinking like a fish, a whole bottle of rum every day for much of the year and sometimes more. I did this because I felt depressed and stuck, unable to move, and wanted an escape. Many of you tried to help me, to which I didn't listen. However, I hit rock bottom when my liver function test was done on May 19, 2025. My ALT levels were 373, and AST was 319. Both of these are more than 6 times the acceptable levels of 50 or less. Indicating very severe liver damage. This explained why I managed to drink so much, yet not feel drunk, my liver was doing a death rattle, and I would be, soon, if I didn't stop. For the first time in a while, i felt scared to lose my life, I looked back and saw what a coward I'd been. I felt a deep sense of regret, all the people I pushed away, all the problems I avoided, and now it might be too late. I bought a bottle of rum, 1 liter. I poured out 700ml of it and drank the rest. That was 80 days ago, and I haven't had one single drop since. My doctors had given up, not even bothering to schedule an appointment as they knew my cowardly behavior would simply cancel, so I didn't have to face them. After 38 days of absolute sobriety, I messaged my doctor informing her that i took her advice to heart and have removed alcohol from my life, I wanted to come in and get bloodwork done. On July 14th, it came back. ALT levels are 64, AST is 42. My liver healed faster than I ever thought possible, crushing my foolish excuse from before that I was too far gone to heal. With this, I was able to go back on Trikafta, improving my lung function greatly. I got another liver function test done on August 13th, ALT levels are 49, AST is 25. My liver is now healthier than it was a year before I started drinking. I wasn't sure I believed in God, but I prayed for my life to be spared, and I do believe he listened. I'm not sure how I want to celebrate, but you can bet it will involve a lot of family and no alcohol
