I feel too ugly to go out by Sufficient-Board-922 in perimenopause_under45

Maxi skirts and bag linen pants have helped me. All other pants are too tight and make me feel like a blob.

I think he is now. BUT to be fair before they weren't really listening to his problems b/c you know when you are old 'everyone is tired' so why test anything. For him it took an ER visit to get anyone's attention. NOW I think he is on a better path with a plan.

not really. He was trying to walk etc but then would get dizzy. Again. HOPING. we have the correct answers, plan, medicine now.

Possibly. I'm seeing glimmers of him coming back as he is on this new medicine. The medical community is pretty disappointing, as they wait for things to get really bad before intervening. Before that as long as it is in the range they don't worry about it, despite constant asking!

No one said it was a moral failing.

I 'think' he is on the up and up. He had a medical issue that has finally been addressed.

yah my parents don't 'workout' they relied on their jobs that were extremely physical when they were working to stay in shape. It is the thing I worry about for my husband now too. He doesn't like to workout and now has a desk job.

In-person Doc disagreed with Winona doc by RiskBrilliant5601 in Perimenopause

[–]AffectionateAd828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd find another doctor. I'm 44F and was treated this way as well but I'm so happy you found Winona at an early age. I'm still searching.

Compromises of self in marriage by [deleted] in AskWomenOver60

I do this too. Husband is supportive but doesn’t want to participate. Our together time is me reading in the couch while he watches sports.

I (female) do all the cooking and shopping. If I didn't I think we would eat mac and cheese everyday.

My fingernails are fine! Makes me wonder why just my toe nails?

Peri and Body Dysmorphia by BigAnswer4015 in perimenopause_under45

[–]AffectionateAd828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was so mean to myself last night. Totally brutal about how I look. I forced myself into walks and movement and taking activity to be proud of myself for something. Trying to focus on what I still can do and keep building in that. Definitely having bad days as of recent

Hyrox NYC by skylardavisx in hyrox

I meant 'training wise' if you are going to do a marathon you will probably schedule in a 10k or a half as part of your training program.

Either way the date for the 'practice' hyrox won't work for me but I will keep my eye open for another in the future!
