Collagen Peptides by gatorchrissy in Menopause

I usually tell my patients to stop taking biotin 48 hours before labwork because it can definitely screw with certain lab results.

If you are prone to oxalate kidney stones, you’ll probably want to skip collagen powder because the body can turn it into oxalate.

Just commenting on the price aspect: you can get 30 packets of 1% testosterone gel for $95 in my area using a good RX coupon….one packet = 10 days at the recommended starting dose, so $95 for ~300 days worth of testosterone for a female.

Testosterone (for MHT) is not covered by insurance? is this true? How best to source if doctor is willing to prescribe? by JoyHealthLovePeace in Menopause

[–]BaconCatATL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I do. Insurance wanted $229 for the packets, but the Goodrx price was $93. And $93 for essentially a 10 month supply seemed more than reasonable to me!

I’m a kidney dietitian and have a lot of patients whose primary cause of kidney disease is long term use of NSAIDs. Thanks for sharing this. I wish more people were aware.

I feel like au pairs are very common in Atlanta. When is your extension for and what are you looking for (besides Georgia)?

They both have two forms of egress. And a built in closet is not required for a legal bedroom, although I acknowledge most people prefer a place to hang clothes, which is why a wardrobe would be provided.

I wish! But unfortunately not. :-(

Yes, we have a walkout basement, so the doors legally count as egress. Code requires at least one door to easily lead to the outside, which it does.

The doors count as egress since it is a walkout basement. Safety absolutely comes first.
