    The largest known case involved a prisoner camp and had to do with starvation leading to higher levels of estrogen production, so, technically yes any normal male potentially, just not in great conditions. But still specific.

    I wouldn't consider a nearly-starved-to-death male "normal", though.
    Anorexia hasn't caught on quite as strongly on this side of the gender line.

    I mean, his job fully pays for my health insurance, vision insurance, and dental...and we have like a 750 buck deductible for the 2 of us? They don't take anything out of his paycheck for either policy, they are real insurance happy there. They even cover most of my glasses, not just a shoddy vision plan.

    So, the vague annoyance of getting something notarized isn't really too bad. I'll be happier when I have sweet new glasses in December/January that cost me like 50 bucks.

    One of the medications I take can make men lactate!

    Well, it could have technically made me lactate too, but it just made me go up half a cup size.

    Not complaining.

    I didn't even remember them being at $0.60. I remember I think as high as $.50, but really $0.40 for a bit, then I think it was $.35, then $0.25 and then $.15 for a long time. It's hard to remember every pay cut in between $.40 to $.15, because if memory serves, several of them happened within the same day with different batches, all with the same amount of images. I stopped doing them for a long time.

    Blowing up OW. I take it there were quite a few technical problems this time around.

    Thus meeting my criteria of specific circumstances in that it can happen to any normal male, not that it will (or should).

    Also to be fair until 2012 amenorrhea (missing one's menstrual cycle) was a criteria for anorexia in the DSM-5, so that does have interesting affect on the statistics.

    Have you ever ordered glasses online? If yours are hanging on by a thread, you can order a super cheap pair today to hold you over until you get the pair you really want in December/January. Let me know if you want suggestions on where to get them.

    It's for my GI disorder and the FDA has it semi-banned for potential side effects that have never effected me in 5 years and because nobody wants to do a full study on it here lol.

    I get a compassionate release exemption though, and order it from Oh Canada. I can actually get it compounded here, but it costs me like 3x as much and so Canada is my medication bae.

    Well, before I took it I was vomiting upwards of 15 times a day and often hospitalized for malnutrition and extreme dehydration. I say bring on the chemicals in this case! I've only thrown up once in 2 days thank you very much.

    The medication is also used to stimulate booby milk production in women who are struggling to lactate, so that's why it can have an unintended side effect of occasionally making folks produce milk. When you have such an intensely bad GI disorder, you kinda make a willing tradeoff.
