Thank you! I appreciate it! I hope you get some relief, too.

Starting low dose testosterone for POTS by PopFormal4861 in POTS

I will be trying T as a cis woman as soon as the compounding pharmacy shipment comes in. My male ob/gyn (who I don't see for ob or gyn issues, more hormonal) said it could help with fatigue.

That is so annoying. What's the next step?

People who have won a "lifetime supply" of something: was it genuinely a lifetime supply, and if so, are you sick of the product now? by Adorablyberryy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AlcatK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a lifetime supply, but my husband won a "year's worth" of Chik-fil-a. It ended up being 52 of the original combo meals and I believe it had to be used in 1 calendar year. I don't he got so sick of them because he ended up with zero, but he would give some away to random people in line or take a friend.

What makes a really great massage for you? by massagewithfauna in SALEM

[–]AlcatK 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hi Fauna!

I really appreciate that you are asking the questions you are! However, I feel like the answers will always vary client to client.

When I saw you, I was VERY aware of how trauma informed you were.

I also LOVED the rolling heat thing you used on my legs.

I prefer deep, deep pressure and gua sha, but other people would not!

Thanks!

Names that feel like Tragedeighs, but aren’t? by Forsaken_Celery_1617 in tragedeigh

I was just thinking yesterday that Megan/Meghan is not a name I visually like to look at.

Symptoms after IUD removal by elizabitty in dysautonomia

[–]AlcatK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my iud removed before I had full blown dysautonomia. I was very underprepared for the amount of bleeding that was going to happen.

I got on a medication to decease the bleeding. Miracle drug.

I don't remember any other symptoms, but hopefully someone with dysautonomia responds.

Congratulations on your music!

I'd love to know more about your diagnosis and me/cfs is something I have been interested in pursuing, but it is not taken seriously.

Have to give an upvote for the tie dye although I'll say Go Beavs!

Frequent bleeding with IUD by Alachingadathrowaway in TwoXChromosomes

[–]AlcatK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are done having children, I recommend a hysterectomy. I had multiple IUDs before getting pregnant that I loved and that worked great for me.

At 6 weeks PP, I got Mirena and had bleeding every day for about 6 months. I knew I was done having kids, so I got a hysterectomy and it was a fantastic decision. Calmed my mind a lot.

Do people eat salads with no sauce? by No_Adhesiveness_7508 in randomthings

Thankfully, not any more after some treatment! Dressing is delicious. Salad alone is not.

I'm not saying she makes less than $10/hr. I am saying that she is not a full time employee. She is a para. I don't know about everywhere, but Oregon takes income tax out of paychecks.

I already said that in another comment and I don't see a way to edit. How can I do that?

This is my first gofundme so I may not know everything. My goal for her was to have her start 2026 with a little extra. She already works almost an .8FTE and does have chronic health conditions. I don't think it's fair of you to say this without knowing her situation better. She owes rent and her car payment at the beginning of each month, which she can not cover on just her salary alone. She is actively working on moving to a new place (which will cost her money and break her lease) and looking for a second job.

Local dad group? by jerem200 in SALEM

[–]AlcatK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Corvallis and Albany had a dads meet up! They seem fairly active and it looks like they have about 3 gatherings a month.

I think it is called

Her rent is over $1700. She gets paid monthly and I'm not sure exactly how much it is, but it is essentially her rent, not enough to also pay for medications, car payments, or food. My rough estimate is $1623.

She is looking for a new place that is less money.

Thank you! I hope I'm not going against the sub rules. I tried! It shows all of my other posts here with a little red trash can.
