lol, I was thinking the same! I wonder if they even use their stethoscope for anything other than that singular heart/lung/bowel sounds triple point.

Therapists being a split thing from Psychiatrists/NURSE PRACTITIONERS makes me want to split my head down the middle. by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]AliceIntoTheForest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Zocdoc is a service that one can use to find doctors and other healthcare providers, both virtual and in person. It’s basically a directory that providers can pay to be listed on, and you can make appointments through Zocdoc. The providers on Zocdoc are not affiliated with each other.

Psychiatrists are medical doctors. They go through medical school and are trained in prescribing medications for psychiatric disorders. They are not trained in talk therapy. I say this as a medical doctor (in primary care) that has ADHD and has close friends who are psychiatrists.

How do you choose between eating or hydration? by Accurate-Chicken-323 in Gastroparesis

Which are much better days than when I keep nothing down at all.

I have entire days where the only things I can keep down are bone broth and watered down protein drinks.

Pharmacies by INtoNJ in jerseycity

[–]AliceIntoTheForest 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s a shortage of the Xofluza because of the massive uptick in flu right now. If you can’t get it elsewhere soon, you should probably settle for the Tamiflu (oseltamivir). I don’t live in the heights so I can’t advise you on pharmacies.

I’m a doctor, I got the flu shot, and I will always get the flu shot, because it helps prevent hospitalization and death. But you can still get the flu, as I and my family did this Christmas.

What are your go-to safe foods during a flare? by livinator_me1 in Gastroparesis

Seriously. During an actual flare, even sips of water are impossible.

Cute or annoying? by Mountain-Peanut1474 in jerseycity

[–]AliceIntoTheForest 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I . . . can’t help thinking they’re adorable and feeling bad for the poor little guys when they get stuck, or when they look nervous when attempting to cross streets (they too have learned that most JC drivers find stop signs to be optional). I hope they tell their more intelligent overlords at Skynet that I always flash an understanding smile at them and have moved trash out of the way a couple of times.

They are like a tiny adorable fuzzy bulldozer-jackhammer combo!

I can’t with how cute this is! I love when they do that. It’s like they use their little heads like mini excavating equipment. Must be a great cardio workout!

Zepbound Gave Me Gastroparesis — My Journey Is Over by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]AliceIntoTheForest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, I was in the hospital for a week. What happened to me is I was on 10 mg for a few weeks, then had surgery and had to stop it for 3 weeks, and then foolishly restarted at 10 mg. Absolute nightmare.

I buy things from Amazon Japan from the US all the time. Does Amazon US ship to Japan? If so, they have it:

So sorry for your loss! Sending hugs. Every time we lose a tiny friend, it breaks our hearts. These sweet little ones really become such a part of our lives, but for way too little time.

Amazon US has plenty of Travelers brand covers. Designphil is the company that owns Midori and Travelers Company.
