take pills? I had to have a 6" needle go into my spinal fluid with heavy drugs to just numb the pain to a dull roar.

Take that, testicles.

Wow, that's some kind of menstrual cramp.

When your cramps are that bad, regular pills don't work. Some girls I knew in HS had a standing prescription for vicodin. My doctor wanted to do the same with me, but we decided to try birth control first. Turns out birth control works for me.

Is anyone able to edit out Lauren's story (maybe edit it down a bit) and post it on YouTube? I would love for several of my friends to hear this and I think it's an invaluable resource for youth who suspect they might fit the trans label.

If anyone can do that, please let me know.

No, I noticed this the moment they started the show in the new studio, and I don't have expensive ear buds. There is a very slight echo in the room that probably could be fixed by hanging things on the wall (if they haven't). But it's definitely there.

I have passed a kidney stone and every nurse I spoke to in the hospital that had experienced both said that the stone was more painful.

The interesting thing about being kicked in the balls is that it hurts like the worst pain ever, but it usually goes away after 5 minutes.

i dont think its even the pain itself thats so horrible about being kicked in the balls, but more like everything that goes with it. the cold sweat, the fainting feeling, th air that goes away, the slight panicky pause before it hits.

only thinking about it makes me dizzy.

women know when their menstrual cramps are coming and they can easily prevent the pain with the variety meds that 90% of women are on.
a kick in the balls is almost always unforseen.
as for child birth, same thing. and very few women will have as many children as the average guy has been hit in the nadz in their life.

On the other side, theres japanese men that love being kicked in the balls or watch girls doing it.

i dont know women who have a fetish for childbirth.

well. who knows. (googles) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Mila Kunis being blind is very similar to the same issue I had...

hence 1goodI - one good eye

The procedure is the same; they cut out a piece of your cornea or other part of your eye and replace it with donor material.

The good part is I can now see out of my left eye; which I never considered myself blind until my Dr. told me. It went something like this:
Me: I can't really see too well out of my left eye, but I wouldn't think I'm blind in that eye.
Doctor: Can you see this?
Me: No
Doctor: Yea, you're blind. Are ready to schedule surgery for next week.

The worst part is giving up control and the idea of someone cutting your eye or sticking needles in your eye. The reality is anesthesia completely knocked me out. The surgery was super easy. The actual worse part was the orderly after the surgery who left me in the hallway; some fat mean bitch.

I've had stitches in my eye for a year now. It's about time for them to come out. But I can see.
