I used to think it was from my pelvic congestion syndrome, but last September, I had my right ovarian vein and both internal iliac veins embolized. My left ovarian vein was ligated off in 2020 when I had my left renal vein transpositioned. This doesn’t seem to relate to any specific foods. Just eating in general. ❤️‍🩹

... Read moreAbdominal pain following meals can be a complex symptom often linked to multiple underlying health conditions, including vascular and connective tissue disorders. A notable condition related to such pain is Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS), which involves varicose veins in the lower abdomen causing chronic pelvic pain. Patients with PCS may undergo treatments such as ovarian vein embolization or ligation to alleviate symptoms. In addition to PCS, those with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) often report similar abdominal pain after eating. hEDS is a connective tissue disorder characterized by joint hypermobility and fragile blood vessels, which can contribute to gastrointestinal symptoms including intense abdominal pain. This pain is described as a feeling of intense pressure and squeezing and can onset within minutes after eating, lasting from minutes to hours. Treatment and management of these symptoms require a multidisciplinary approach. Venous embolization and ligation are minimally invasive procedures targeting affected veins, reducing venous reflux and pelvic congestion. For instance, embolization of the right ovarian vein and internal iliac veins or ligation of ovarian veins can improve blood flow, potentially reducing pain originating from vascular congestion. It is important to note that abdominal pain post-meal often does not correlate directly with dietary triggers but rather with vascular or neurological factors. Patients often find relief by changing positions, such as lying down and curling up, which may reduce venous pressure. Healthcare providers should consider both vascular and connective tissue involvement when assessing postprandial abdominal pain. Diagnostic imaging like Doppler ultrasound, MRI venography, or CT scans can evaluate venous abnormalities. Medical history including previous surgeries such as renal vein transposition can provide clues to underlying causes. In summary, understanding the link between pelvic venous insufficiency, connective tissue disorders like hEDS, and abdominal pain after eating is essential. Effective management may involve vein embolization or ligation and symptom-focused care to improve patient quality of life.

I just can’t take Cyber Trucks seriously. They look like they should be props in movies or something. I don’t see how it can be more comfy than a minivan for a family. I just think it’s ugly and dumb. I’m sorry if you think otherwise, it’s just my opinion. Deff wouldn’t buy one. @Lemon8 US

A white chunky knit blanket lies on a bed with a blue and white floral duvet cover. A black backrest pillow and other pillows are visible at the head of the bed, behind the textured blanket.
How many skeins do you think I used?
Would you’d believe this blanket took me 5 months. I simply didn’t want to do it. 😭 don’t get me wrong i love a good blanket. But using a big 25mm wooden hook was not it. If i did do again I would try to use mainly my fingers instead of the hook. #fingercrochet #crochet #crochetersoflemon8
