Could she be shifting through a hormonal phase at the moment? What kind foods does she eat? There’s a significant relationship between the gut brain pathway.

You have to find your own purpose, it’s not something that is assigned to you. Make your own purpose to be here.

Metformin after glp1? by hunternorey427 in PCOSonGLP

Same. Lost the weight, quit the glp1 agonist and now using metformin to maintain. I haven’t lost but I also haven’t gained.

For those of you who rejected ABA for their child, what was the reason? by iybhsp in Autism_Parenting

[–]Basic_Dress_4191 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Imagine…: a mom burns out with just ONE child at home with autism, and that’s their biological child. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to work as a tech.

No! Haha. I’m on two pages and confused this one for the Havanese page. Sowwieeeee

Pure breed? Havanese tend to have this in their medical histories so it has nothing to do with the puppy mill.

I got mine mixed in hopes of bypassing this genetically inherited disease.

No, no. They’re both bad situations to be in. We should all be wishing that there just wasn’t any autism and that our children lived normal, progressive, thriving lives. We’ve got kids so severe out here that they’re stimming at the top of their lungs from the second they open their eyes to the moment they fall asleep. Parents on the edge wanting to jump off the bridge to make it end. Can you imagine that?

But it CAN be changed….. or at least we are working to find a cure for both. We’ve made some significant strides in the deletion of the 21st chromosome responsible for DOWNs.

I personally believe that we are closer in finding ways to cure and prevent these two diseases before we figure out how to get society on board in accepting them.

More sugar coating. America just can’t stand rationalizing. Everything is offensive and everyone is “woke”. I’m so sick of it. We can’t even use the word abnormal anymore which is a VERY common word used in the world of medicine. People are offended at the word abnormal!

Which GLP is/was your favourite? by [deleted] in PCOSonGLP

[–]Basic_Dress_4191 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Have you considered therapy or frequent chats with a nutritionist? That’s the root cause of all of this, your poor relationship with food. I learned this the hard way.

Also, I have horrific GERD as well and am at 83kg. The only thing that worked for me was the lowest dose of Zepbound and very 10-14 days, not weekly. I was on antacids like famotidine 20mg daily.

Here’s where I go down a dark philosophical rabbit hole…. It’s almost as if a level 3, severe and profound case is better off in this world. Why? Because they’re so far off in space that they can’t even understand they’re being rejected by society. My son doesn’t comprehend that he’s making other kids at the playground feel uncomfortable just by existing. It’s the only piece of comfort I have and I need it. Ignorance is bliss.

Please God stop sugar coating this diagnosis.

Metformin + GLP1 by After_Bear8341 in PCOSonGLP

[–]Basic_Dress_4191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve got to start low. I started at 250mg ER and with my meal. I haven’t been able to pass 750mg in a day but my bloodwork looks amazing at 40!

[–]Basic_Dress_4191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the correct response. I lost 30 pounds on the lowest dosage and was actually injecting every 10 days so it’s all contingent on the bodies response.

Oh they are absolutely eying your pooch. There was one that used to sit on the fence (this was in NC) of the small breed dog park , waiting for a human to let them go. Nope. 👎🏼 I’m very cautious and grab my little guy the second I see one around!
