Can you smoke weed if you have an ulcer?

Ya.. helps you die sooner. The above seems like a pat answer to an extremely complex question. I smoked for 25 yrs before quitting only to find my autoimmune system attacking my colon with bleeding ulcerative colitis (UC) 14 months after quitting in 2000. Hospitalized and left to prednizone and remicade infussions monthly, I asked my GI doctor about the connection between cigarette smoking and UC. Because cigarettes are considered taboo in the medical community for reasons understood, he basically told me, yes, there is something in the "smoke" that keeps the autoimmune system from attacking. My choices were quality over quantity. In other words, by resuming smoking, I could live out my life without my body attacking itself, however, I would most likely shorten my life span. I decided the risk was worth a better quality of life and resumed smoking in 2002. To this date, I have not had one bout with UC and my GI checkups show it remains in remission. Tough choice but it was the one for me. Most people find these stories of smoking actually helping to be a tall tale. But a quick "google" search of the words Ulcerative Colitis and Smoking will bring back more hits than one would think possible.

Should one avoid the 'charming' man who gets defensive if you question his actions that affect you?

Run for your life! Red flag! Inability to accept disagreement and criticism is a bad sign. Not every charmer is an abuser - but many abusers are "pathological charmers".

Answer

Get out now... I just got out of that situation... run and run fast.. they are abusive and don't explain just go otherwise he will charm you to stay!

Answer

My abusive ex boyfriend put the charm on thick....and I mean thick when we first starting going out. He also was very secretive, went out on weekends without me and had a reason/need to do so. He too was very defensive...so bad I thought I was really being to over critical and could not accept the actions of his behaviors toward me. Seriously.....RUN AWAY! These are red flags for you. If you are even a bit hesitant...then I would keep my distance and watch him from afar! Charm is their way of "obtaining a victim." But you don't even know you are going to be one.....until he has captured you in his web of deceit.

Could you be feeling stomach pains 5 days after conception?

Its very unlikely. It takes 14 days AFTER sex until your body realizes its actually pregnant. So symptoms will occur 2-8 weeks after conception not 3 days after.

It is possible though. Once fertilization occurs, the fertilized egg remains in the fallopian tube for 3 days. It then enters the uterus where it gets very close to the endometrium (lining of the uterus) and begins to invade this endometrium to implant. You can feel implantation cramping usually 6 to 10 days after ovulation. However it can happen a few days earlier or later.
