    She seems like she's very comfortable where she's at in life now. I give her a ton of credit,because she's not only alive after going through that,but is actually living her life.

I thought it only had affected that one woman who died back then, and maybe a few others, because I hadn't heard of it since that one incident What a surprise to find it has affected so many women.

But it’s actually safer to use a tampon and change it often than a menstrual cup that you only wipe down and re-insert in your body cavity.

      @29Coxy 6 лет назад +106

      A good illustration of a poor prosthetic fit and alignment was in the clip of her on the catwalk with only her right leg amputated. Her knee was thrusting outwards and she was walking horribly. That's due to the poor suspension of the leg (which she mentioned how it felt like it was going to fall off) and poor prosthetic alignment. The alignment may have been ok for everyday walking but when doing a catwalk models will step further inwards to enhance the hip movement. In simple terms, this shifts her weight line to a point where her muscles can no longer control causing the knee to thrust outwards. This can be easily fixed by simply changing the alignment

    I know it sounds odd, but those golden legs suit her. She looks strong, proud and even like a superhero. She is beautiful with a spirit I can't even imagine. So consider all that along with this comment. How about someone (designer/corp/whatever) makes her clear acrylic legs? If the joints or connections must be another material, paint that material silver or maybe gold. I was trying to think of a way so that she showcases the clothes on a catwalk without the golden legs overpowering (ironic yes?) the outfit. In any event this woman is more of a MODEL than a model.

      TSS is exceedingly rare and you don't need to use tampons to get it. You can develop it after a surgery. In America the chances of getting it are 1in 100K. Deaths per year average at 2-3 people.

      One year ago I was for 2 weeks in intensive care at hospital for the TSS. My chance of surviving was very very because they didn’t know what I had (the TSS is so rare and I was the first one of the hospital I went to having it) and never experienced it. I also used the “Super” tampons and I regret it so so much..

      You do go through manstration, though. While it's obviously not the exact same thing (no....you know... expelling of...stuff..) men also experience cyclic hormonal peaks and valleys throughout the month.
      As far as what I've read, depending on your natural testosterone levels, you may not even notice, or you may have extreme mood swings during certain times of the month. This is one of the reasons why people who take steroids and testosterone treatments become so emotional, and experience 'roid rage. Hormonal treatments of any kind can affect a person this way.
      A good way to track this, is to use your phone, a calendar, or a diary. At the end of each day, quickly jot down how you felt that day. If you're consistent, after a few months you'll start to see patterns, and then you can sort of predict when your hormonal ups and downs are going to happen. Like women, some men are like clockwork, and others have completely unpredictable cycles.
      Again, I'm not a doctor or an expert, but I've read up on it, and noticed it in men I've lived with. Whether it's a long-term partner, a roommate, friend, or my Dad. Unless it's been debunked since my own lazy research, that is, but as I said before, I've totally noticed it in the men in my life.

      She’s proof that doctors are amazing. She wouldn’t be able to “be here” let alone, walk if it wasn’t for physicians and medicine.

    When I got diagnosed with a rare disease I was shocked that women’s health is dismissed in the medical field.
    I love how she brought fashion to prosthetics!

      It’s because of the algorithm. It will recommend this to you even after you’ve watched it because it’s recommending it to tons of other people.

      Its *because* you watched it 1000 times. So when YT asks itself "What video might this person like to watch?" It goes "I know! That one the amputee model again! *BRILLIANT!*"
