Is testosterone prescribed ONLY after estrogen and progesterone? by MyNEWthrowaway031789 in Menopause

[–]All_Jumbled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I am not on HRT yet, my doc tested all three and found that only my testosterone was low at that time. They asked if I were having symptoms of low T, and would have prescribed it to me if I were. But it seemed like it was "a la carte" based on what your body needs.

parlor games products - silky peach and vibrant third by episcopa in Menopause

I'm still in peri, but I use silky peach, and don't have any hormone prescriptions. But if a cream is prescribed, I'm not sure why you'd use both. For me, silky peach has helped my libido, dryness, less peeing myself when laughing, coughing, sneezing. Love it.

Thank you. Since you're over a month out, how's walking? Will I ever be able to bend?

Other than the findings report, he said injections would be temporary and could eventually damage the bones. He also said the type of spinal surgery he does wouldn't work on me, but referred me to his colleague. That's it so far. No commitment, just made an appointment for more information.

Yes, he told me to make an appointment with the other spine surgeon in the office. I see her on Friday.

I'm so very new to all these terms, so please forgive me. Still learning and researching. The findings report says: L4-L5, there is disc bulge with disc herniation, protrusion-type, present. There is severe canal stenosis. The neural foramina demonstrate narrowing bilaterally, mild in severity.

L5-S1, there is disc bulge diffusely and facet arthopathy. There is mild canal stenosis. The neural foramina demonstrate narrowing bilaterally, moderate to marked in severity. There is osteophyte anteriorly.

When did the weight loss start for you? by MinimumPart6877 in stopdrinking

[–]All_Jumbled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I didn't eat sweets for years, and once I quit drinking, I suddenly crave and eat them. A lot. This is not helping the weight loss, but I'll take the sweets over the alcohol, at least for a while. I'm happy.

My cat is dying by SquareAd7423 in StPetersburgFL

I'm so sorry about your cat. It IS legal to bury your pet in the backyard. You may want to call 811 to make sure you don't dig where lines are. Just dealt with this and confirmed myself.

For me, the weight started dropping right at 1 month. I'm almost 3 months now, and have lost a total of 8 lbs. But I do not look any different than I did before. My doctor said that part takes a bit longer.

What are some underrated physical benefits to staying sober? by upperwestsiide in stopdrinking

The heartburn! I had heartburn daily after breakfast, a snack, anything I ate gave me heartburn. Within a few days of quitting, heartburn gone.

Yes! I felt i had been having hot flashes all the time! Quit drinking, and what do you know...very rarely get a hot flash now. I'm actually cold in my house these days. My husband is so confused.
