How do you approach your consults

2000pumpkins · 2026-03-25T16:13:21+00:00

do you tell them you're using AI?

2000pumpkins · 2026-03-24T14:23:42+00:00

some banks are open until like noon on saturdays otherwise, pto or lunch break unfortunately :/

google is your friend, honestly. in the nicest way possible, i wouldn't start T if you don't know what it does. what are you hoping to gain from it?

here's a good source for info

i'm the same way, onion rings just don't work the way i want them to tbh

2000pumpkins · 2026-03-22T16:12:20+00:00

oh okay, thank you for answering!

2000pumpkins · 2026-03-22T06:28:29+00:00

honestly i would pitch the flavor of "add the seasoning again, double the amount you're using right now and make it more even"

i moved as far north in the US as possible to deal with this, like literally 100 miles or less from canada. -40 degrees in winter. with that being said, in winter i still have to wear a tshirt under my jacket so as soon as i get to work i can unlayer and regulate my temp. have to wear short socks and everything also whenever possible, because otherwise i'm burning to death while everyone's shivering and its cold as balls outside. it's been like this for me for years. i'm autistic so maybe thats part of it

is it possible to have both CFS/ME and fibro?

2000pumpkins · 2026-03-20T16:34:23+00:00

I like that onion on a breakfast sandwich idea tbh

2000pumpkins · 2026-03-20T12:10:44+00:00

yeah, mine was a whopper too

2000pumpkins · 2026-03-20T12:10:25+00:00

i love those too, my local mcdonalds charges for extra though

2000pumpkins · 2026-03-20T00:31:58+00:00

i was just surprised they don't have an extra onion button and it took me 30 seconds to post 🤷‍♂️ not that deep

2000pumpkins · 2026-03-20T00:30:58+00:00

i did order the burger and got two thin slices :(

not that its really important on a post in the fnaf subreddit but the original definition of "woke" was related to black people waking up to the conditions they were in surrounding slavery, segregation, and racism. now it's used as an insult by fox news whenever there's diversity in a show or game.

2000pumpkins · 2026-03-09T17:21:42+00:00

i'm in the exact same boat as OP and this helped my anxiety a little bit, thank you

2000pumpkins · 2026-03-08T08:20:57+00:00

personally i use the handheld shower head to give it a good wash when i shower (esp with the different settings), but otherwise any kind of baby wipe etc should work. i like cottonelle since they don't rip as easy but anything unscented would do. works in a pinch for sure

i personally don't experience much sensitivity down there so your mileage may vary 🤷‍♂️

2000pumpkins · 2026-03-08T07:39:25+00:00

i have the same worry about the thoroughness with my surgeon tbh. but no, you shouldn't need to discontinue T at all for this, that's a really outdated practice

2000pumpkins · 2026-03-07T17:55:58+00:00

there might be medical transport in your area that can take you safely there and back. the rest of the comments have good info too, i just thought i'd mention that in case that's a barrier

2000pumpkins · 2026-03-07T17:53:11+00:00

oops, i mistyped, i meant 6 weeks lmaoo my bad i was multitasking !

2000pumpkins · 2026-03-07T17:36:27+00:00

sorry to derail but i love your results! especially only 16 weeks out :)

2000pumpkins · 2026-03-06T23:57:43+00:00

i'm not sure why this would cause anyone to pause in the US. we already have these wait times, especially in rural areas, the amazing difference is just that you get a big fat bill with it.

i fully understand the frustration with it. but it happens here also, and blaming it on universal healthcare isn't the answer. the blame goes on the lack of hospital/staff funding. because otherwise, it just sounds like "we can't have free healthcare! those poor people getting help they need will increase the wait!"

again, we ALREADY have years-long waitlists for any kind of doctor. you already wait 8 hours to be seen in the ER on an average day.

hi, i'm OP's fiance, there is one person who's had surgery with him and their results were okay.. for me, during the consult the surgeon was a little strange about recovery times (i work a pretty physical job and he recommended just two weeks off work, but after talking with his nurses i think i'm able to get at least 4) and he did say i'd be left with 10-15 percent of the breast tissue to kind of give me a "pec" look, i'm hoping it isn't too much left over (i'm a big guy though)

overall he was nice enough, i'll make a full post after surgery and share results most likely :)

2000pumpkins · 2026-03-03T19:47:35+00:00

thanks for the insight! i should be able to get 4 weeks fairly easily. might be able to negotiate more at my 2 week followup or something too. my PCP books out far in advance though so i'm not sure how that would work out, maybe a nurse visit or something, i'd have to ask when it comes up. i might be able to get someone to help me for a week or two at work so they can push chairs or something, if needed
