By the way, I think my initial reply reads dismissive, but my intention was to try and make clear that whatever is happening isn't normal aging. Can you see a second doctor? Fatigue is such a vague symptom, with so many possible reasons, but what you're describing could indicate a lot of things and you need a doctor who will take it seriously.

My friend was able to do a mini sleep study from home recently, to test for sleep apnea. I noticed when we were traveling together that he sometimes gasped in his sleep, and he told his doctor about it. I think there are DIY sleep monitoring apps but I don't know if they're any good. Might be worth looking into, if your doctor isn't helping. Or find someone to listen to you sleep.

The range of possibilities with bad fatigue is just so big. I can only make suggestions based on my own life experience, but a doctor in your corner would be able to look for so many more things.

Oh, did you have a bad illness at some point before the fatigue? Covid isn't the only virus that can have confusing long term after effects.

A relative with fibromyalgia had constant farigue, but I think pain is a factor with that one.

I can keep thinking of possibilities, unfortunately.

They didn't do any followup? Low white blood cells for that long can indicate some stuff that should at least be checked for. Your doctor should also know if those numbers are normal for your age. Did they make any suggestions? 32 is genuinely still young.

Nope! I'm older than you and that doesn't happen. You probably need blood work done? I went through a time when I was exhausted constantly and was like "this must be middle age" but I had low iron and vitamin d.

I hate 90% of the people in the comments on that article

lol, yeah, that was a predictable outcome.

I've noticed the specific food craving thing around my period. It needs to replace iron or whatever, so I suddenly want a hamburger.

But how does that connection happen? Is my body releasing hormones in a specific way that my brain understands before and after the burger, and then in the future, the "give me iron" hormone is translated into fantasizing about hamburgers by my brain?

I figured pregnancy was when people get weird cravings the most. Hormones go so wild then, it really makes me think hormones are the culprit here, with the brain translating them as best it can.

The like three articles I looked at on this all warned about how pica (craving for nonfood items) might mean you have low iron.

The connection with iron and pica makes me think there is something concrete going on here (don't eat concrete. go see if you need iron supplements). But your hormones and brain are both flailing around trying to keep you alive, so it can get weird.

Outside eating, the craving is probably the desire to return to some feeling. Music especially seems to get associated with times and people who were around then, and specific states of mind. I permanently associated one song with a cool scene from a story I was reading, and now I get an echo of the feeling from that scene when I hear it. And when I want that reading a cool action scene feeling, I can listen to that song on purpose.

TLDR; probably brain translating desire or need by making us want things it associates with filling those needs. With food, hormones seem involved.

I do think that sometimes we too quickly dismiss foods like this. Our expectations can get in the way of something interesting.

I doubt this is like that fancy ice cream parlor that opened up near me that did weird flavors that got professional food critics raving. This is dominos. They tossed some garlic in and waited for the grossed out word of mouth advertising to roll in.

I miss you, weird ice cream parlor. Your location was dogshit, but your ice cream wasn't.

I probably have vaginismus and my experience with penetration is pretty similar to yours.

Cis women do enjoy and even seek out vaginal penetrative sex, I eventually realized. Part of how I figured out I was different was reading a thread of all the weird stuff women inserted while masturbating. I was suddenly like: "Oh! They must really want something up there! Look at the stupid, dangerous stuff they're doing to experience that!"

There are things you can do medically if you genuinely want that kind of sex, but it's useful to remember that sex isn't just penetration. You literally never have to be penetrated to have enjoyable sex. It can be tough to find a partner, since PIV is the end goal of sex for lots of people (as is their perogative), but the world is also full of other types of people.

As for vocalization, the "oh fuck" (doc, it's like sandpaper ripping me in half) and "oh fuck" (I'm having an overwhelming but positive physical sensation) are pretty different kinds of yells, and generally sound pretty different. Like people don't cry just out of sadness, you know?

It didn't even occur to me that he'd have one! Thanks! He's so famous.

Too much time has passed for him to make money on the Kirk grift. Gotta ride that corpse before everyone else riding it wears it down to dust.

Maybe he's hoping this article will get enough people making fun of him that our disrespect will catch the right's attention and paying him millions will be owning the libs. There might be money in that grift, still.

Investigators said that the two women initiated a verbal confrontation with the employees before taking a picture of their vehicles and walking away.

At this point, investigators said that Booth grabbed his personally owned pistol and fired a single shot in the direction of the women, hitting one of them in the lower body. He then got into his vehicle and drove away before he could be detained.

Committed the crime of hurting his feelings and then leaving peacefully. At least she's still alive.
