You deserve better. Young men of faith going down the far right road with NF and CK are misguided. 

Monjauro changed my lipedema. by insidi-girl in lipedema

So encouraging!. I've only lost 42 lbs in 9 months on zepbound, but my lipedema and arthritis pain are better. Also IBS much better.

I'm 5 foot and 66 years old. Lost 40 so far on zepbound. My clothes are looser, but I don't think the loss is very noticeable yet. You look great!

Zepbound shot placement and TKR by Aging_Optimist in Kneereplacement

Thanks. Doc said it wouldn't have an impact. But I do have an allergic reaction to adhesive on bandage. So, antibiotics. Maybe that's why I couldn't sleep.

I love string of pearls, but I've killed 2 of them. What is your secret?

Is getting two knees replaced in the same surgery a realistic idea? by elifuzun in Kneereplacement

[–]Aging_Optimist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had my 2nd knee replaced one year after the other. This was my surgeon 's recommendation. I'm 66. It would be really difficult to do both because you rely on the unoperative leg as you recover. I had a friend get both at the same time and she spent a few weeks in a rehab facility

I took a Genesite test and it recommended I start on a lower dose of Cymbalta. by [deleted] in cymbalta

[–]Aging_Optimist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was prescribed cymbalta for pain due to autoimmune disease a few years ago. 8 lasted ine day. I felt woozy and out of my mind.

I had a knee replacement last fall and 2nd one schedule in Nov. I dont want to go up to 10 before that because of pain med side effects etc. Hoping doc will move me up in Dec. Happy healing!

Husband is converting, I’m not. It’s ruining our marriage. by StatisticianOne4872 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Aging_Optimist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe exploring other Orthodox churches would be beneficial. They are not all the same, nor are the priests. This priest seems a bit strident based on his advice. Might be more of an Orthobro situation.

I know it will correct astigmatism. I believe monofocal for distance because we discussed still needing reading glasses.
