One for the ladeeez!

Following Dr Scruff's medical advice, here's a warning from a younger female friend going through the inevitable change.

She had fallen prey to the current fashionable (but in my opinion snake-oil) alternative hot flush cure. This is to purchase a strong magnet and attach it to the front of your knickers (don't ask!). After wearing this for some time she was sent for an MRI scan by her GP. She removed as instructed all metal bits and pieces, earrings, jeans with studs on etc, but forgot the magnet. Then standing a couple of yards from the MRI machine she suddenly flew through the air at huge speed and was stuck firmly to the side of the machine.

Very embarrassing - I dont know how she extricated herself as we were passing each other in a crowded place and I had to move on. But a bit useful advice I thought I'd pass on - leave the magnets at home if you're having an MRI, ladeez.

Havent seen you here for ages stillmovin. How you doing?

[stillmovin in reply to O2Trees]

Hi There! Still here, just have had lots going on. Mum had big stroke, Dad passed away last year, I am awaiting second Dexa scan results and have joined Bone Health forum too. Bronchiectasis still a problem, as for lots of us, and I am still trying to get on top of that. Hope you have been keeping on top of things.

[O2Trees in reply to stillmovin]

Lovely to hear from you SM But you've had a lot of family troubles, so sorry about that. Hope your dexa isnt as bad as you may be fearing. Im pretty good though very conscious that it could all change in a heartbeat. Trying to live in the present, keeping calm and washing hands! You take care

[Caspiana]

Oh wow. That could have ended up VERY badly. I hope she wasn't hurt. xx 😅

[O2Trees in reply to Caspiana]

Well she lived to tell the tale Cas! xx

[Caspiana in reply to O2Trees]

A bit embarrassing for her, poor thing. 😊

Pardon my intrusion ladies, but this could explain why some men had 'Prince Alberts' done. Something I could never understand before. 😇

[O2Trees in reply to Hidden]

Oh my, you never had one yourself Don??

[Hidden in reply to O2Trees]

Not yet. 😎

[O2Trees in reply to Hidden]

Still time . . . .

I have heard of magnetic attractions and quick couplings but i always believed that was influenced by alcohol. xx

[O2Trees in reply to skischool]

Haha, I will pass that on Skis

[Thomac]

[Crystal9]

[watergazer]

Thanks for that - I have a little video running in my head . I hope she wasn't hurt - so funny to think of though x Anita

[O2Trees in reply to watergazer]

Not hurt, though maybe hurt pride!

[peege]

I'm still smiling 😆.

I remember that idea, not the sort of thing I'd try though. HRT for me 😘😘

Never heard of putting magnets in your knickers before! What a great story to dine out on!! Glad to know your friend was ok even though I have been doubled up laughing and still recovering. Lol! xx Moy

Reminds me of my cochlear implant that I once had which was a magnet placed under my skin attached to the scull just above the ear- unfortunately the aid didn’t work so for awhile I had the magnet under my skin - what a great piece of kit that was for my uni days down at the union where I’d rub a spoon agains my elbow, thigh and even tap it on my knee in a routine like fashion -finishing with it stuck to the side of my head and best laugh was watching the few intoxicated trying to copy me- naturally they were none the wiser. I did get the odd beverage if they couldn’t carry out the trick in return lol🤣naughty I know.
