Every apartment I have moved to has had cockroaches so far. Is that the new normal for apartment living? I talk to the neighbour's wherever I move, and majority say they have bedbugs as well. I haven't seen any in my apartment, but I have seen cockroaches in the hallways and laundry room...

Landlord will only treat the apartments who complain rather than treating the whole building. Is there a reason this is normal? I regret ever moving!! Constantly paranoid. I get my landlords to spray my apartment twice a year as a precaution, but this does not seem like the solution. If a building is infested, why not treat the whole place?

How do you stop your steel toed boots from stinking? I work 10hrs a day, and my shoes are wrapped in plastic booties the entire time. The smell coming off my shoes is ungodly after only a month of use. I work in a very hot environment with hazardous chemicals in full-body PPE.

We only get one pair of shoes a year, but I cannot handle the smell I get from my shoes. My feet smell terrible after work, and even after a good shower and a lot of scrubbing, they still smell a little. I am using athletes foot spray just in case, since everyone at work says they have gotten athletes foot from the trapped sweat during work, so I am trying to be proactive. I tried freezing my shoes for the whole weekend, and filled them with baking soda the whole time. Nothing is working!

I could usually push through the pain, and just endure it until sex was over, but after getting UTIs and yeast infections from the antibiotics, I feel like I cannot have sex anymore... It stings and hurts, and feel so insecure now. I cried last night when we were trying, but just the tip felt like being stabbed and burned so severely... I was shaking from the pain. I love my boyfriend, and I fear he will leave me or find another way to enjoy himself. For the past 4 months ive been doing anal daily instead to keep him happy, but I am so sore and can't keep doing that... :( He said he doesn't mind waiting, but I don't beleive him. I want sex so badly and I love him more than anything. I also have endometriosis, unsure if that makes the pain worse.

My old neighbours were a sweet old couple. Very quiet and respectable. I go to bed at 830PM and their child is awake until 12AM. Crying and screaming starts around 930PM and doesn't stop until she is asleep. I get up for work at 430AM and the parents are banging on the ceiling for me to be quieter, yelling that I woke their toddler up... I do not know what to do. It's only been a week. The parents are always fighting, or the toddler is screaming. Tantrums and crying every night. I wear ear plugs but I missed my alarm Monday. Thankfully made it to work on time, but there must be a way to keep that child quiet??? Melatonin??? Something? This is a seniors building, I do not know how they snuck a toddler in...

I think all of the UTIs, followed by yeast infections from antibiotics has caused my pelvic floor to get all weird... How can I find relief? Sex is extremely uncomfortable now, since I am expecting it to hurt every time, and I cannot relax my pelvic floor. :(

I can't live like this, it's horrible! I got off of visanne three weeks ago because of side effects, and it's the only thing I could think of that has caused the last two months of stinging and pain. :(

Any advice? This has only started the past three weeks, but it just doesn't stop. My mind is immediately wide awake when I wake up at 3AM, but when I am further into the work day, I hit a slump, and feel exhausted!

I wish side effects were appropriately talked about before doctors put you onto a medication. I have been in so much pain for months! Intimacy always led to a UTI the next day, and I have been taking a daily antibiotic as a preventitive, but it still wasn't enough. :(
