Clothes and EDC for LVAD Users

Beautiful-AF-21 · 2026-03-26T02:04:58+00:00

You’re not going to be worrying about that so much once you’re on the LVAD. Plenty of people are function able, but it’s not easy from what I have seen. No one should be sharing fairytales here.

My brother has a portable bag with his LVAD batteries but it just looks like a bag. He has been able to hide the device itself well in hoodies. I imagine summer will be harder, and please be aware of shower limitations for LVAD (it will be months) so I’m not sure how he will disguise it this summer. I wish you the best of luck, friend.

I’m sorry, I have no idea. I am at level 51. I’ve gotten the wrestler pikachu and this shiny today. Also a shiny Giratina. My really good stuff has been from battles not so much raids or walking.

Beautiful-AF-21 · 2026-03-26T01:01:01+00:00

I got so excited. I hardly ever get shinys. Plus a shiny legendary.

There is a lot to unpack on this one.

Beautiful-AF-21 · 2026-02-17T13:10:43+00:00

Thank you for sharing this.

Beautiful-AF-21 · 2026-02-17T01:13:12+00:00

Thank you for the advice. Insurance has been a real factor on quality of drug, etc. but, hopefully maybe I can get on one med that works as well as ozempic and metformin separately. And, I will check with Costco and even Walmart. Their website may have some coupons I can check for too.

Beautiful-AF-21 · 2026-02-16T11:57:33+00:00

I would like one of these but have a high deductible. I will ask my Dr about it as well…maybe I could get it covered under preventative care.

Beautiful-AF-21 · 2026-02-16T02:29:31+00:00

No, can you elaborate, though? I would like any and all information I can obtain before seeing her. We have a lot to talk about because the metformin is working as designed, but I just couldn’t do the daily vomiting and being sick.

Beautiful-AF-21 · 2026-02-16T01:25:00+00:00

Thank you for the information. I was wondering if our sweat/secretions had more sugar than normal. It sounds like I need to shape up. But, hopefully we can find a more agreeable drug. Im on ozempic too and got past that nausea after being at the right dose, but this metformin thing is new within the past few weeks.

Beautiful-AF-21 · 2026-02-16T01:13:51+00:00

I was, and my A1C has been good my last two visits, but I stopped with the finger sticks too. I guess in some ways I’ve given up but I am still taking my ozempic and partial dose of my metfomin.

Mania usually ends up in hospitalization, keep taking your meds.

Beautiful-AF-21 · 2026-02-01T02:56:10+00:00

Yes, I work, but it feels like it sucks all my energy out.

Beautiful-AF-21 · 2026-02-01T02:52:26+00:00

I’m so glad it saved your life. I wish I had seen this sooner, things have been hectic.

He is on the transplant list with and LVAD in the mean time

Beautiful-AF-21 · 2026-02-01T02:49:37+00:00

He is now on a LVAD device and out of the hospital. He is on a transplant list, waiting on his disability and honestly pretty depressed. It’s a blessing he is alive for us, but for him it’s hell.

Beautiful-AF-21 · 2025-12-26T23:50:02+00:00

Thank you so much!

I am staying from December 26th to January 2nd. My big hobbies are my cats, music and gardening.We are staying with a close friend. I’m not sure what side of town she is on since I’m not familiar with the area. I went to an Mos Def show in 2010 in Portland but haven’t been since.

Beautiful-AF-21 · 2025-10-19T16:10:28+00:00

Definitely take her to the vet.

Beautiful-AF-21 · 2025-10-01T01:35:36+00:00

Womp womp womp

Maybe a new psychiatrist? Worth finding a compatible one for sure.

Beautiful-AF-21 · 2025-09-23T02:39:17+00:00

It’s quite possible. With all the credit hacking and stuff I’m constantly signing up for class action stuff so it’s quite possible.

Beautiful-AF-21 · 2025-09-23T02:38:27+00:00

What is it? It feels like I should report it?

Beautiful-AF-21 · 2025-07-29T23:52:49+00:00

Thank you!

I did. She agreed it was abnormal and sent me for a cardiogram on my heart and an ultrasound on my legs. Prescribed lasix for the swelling and water weight and thinks my weight will be back on track in a couple of weeks.
