I just want the swelling on my balls to go down why do I have to taste soap for a week straight to do that?

When I was on antibiotics, I could smell everyone’s breath, like the potency was up 10x. it was the worst superpower

Sometimes I wonder how much our sense of smell could be much more sensitive but is generally just numbed and neglected into subconscious territory. I know someone who will sit like 6 feet away from everyone at all times when they’re pregnant because everyone just smells so bad to them.

There are people who can smell medical conditions. Parkinsons in particular has a distinct yeast smell: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/03/23/820274501/her-incredible-sense-of-smell-is-helping-scientists-find-new-ways-to-diagnose-di

random thought but maybe something salty might help, I know adding a vanishingly small amount of salt to coffee can cut through the bitterness, maybe it’d work with your fucked up antibiotic mouth

idk why you don’t like pickles, you can spice them a lot of different ways, you can pickle a lot of different vegetables. Have you never had lime juice quick pickled red onion and jalapenos on a taco? shit’s good

I can’t stand vinegar. Ketchup makes me gag. Even just smelling Chiavettas makes me nauseous. My autism has gifted me with the palette of a toddler. Which makes the soap significantly worse tbh.

I once had epididymitis. It was a pretty mild case, thankfully, but enough for me to be quite consistently uncomfortable.

Solidarity and best wishes to your junk, comrade :rat-salute-2:
