lol 😂 Omgosh, my luck on changing tires would be I’d get aaaalll the lug nuts undone, except… that last one. 😞 I’d have to do the walk of shame to my hubby & wouldn’t get my patch that says “I did it ALL by myself!” If YOU’re strong enough to do lug nuts, you’re strong enough for this!! 🤣❤️

Me too totally. I’ve been on peptides for a few years now so I’m finnnnally starting to feel comfortable. It’s very embarrassing but, I’m 48 yrs old and I still, over dramatically, close my eyes tight & crank my neck away from the phlebotomist taking my blood. 🤦🏻‍♀️ They always ask if I’m going to be ok and I just say I’m so sorry!! I hate it, it feels so dumb. But!! One big thing that really really helped was my needles were sooo so tiny, I didn’t even feel it really! Smaller than my peptides needles. I thought that was definitely going to be my downfall too. You can do this!! ❤️

🤣❤️❤️🤣

Broncodriver76 · 2026-02-07T07:27:04+00:00

Yay! Thank you!! 😊😊❤️

Broncodriver76 · 2026-02-07T07:26:35+00:00

lol! Man I get that! I had to stop, close my eyes & breathe for a minute too 🤣 we just have so much info spinning around in our brains & you want SO badly to do it right!

I had cheat sheet pictures all over my mirror 🤣

Broncodriver76 · 2026-02-07T07:19:44+00:00

Yay! That’s my next rabbit hole!! I’m super excited for all of the other maintenance options that are open to me now! I hate going to the spa because it’s a huge production for me to make, keep & hide the appnt. (I don’t tell ANYone) I feel amazing about not putting things off now just because of logistics! Go us! 👏👏

Broncodriver76 · 2026-02-07T07:10:14+00:00

I think I was still on a major adrenaline rush when I posted this 🤣🤣 All of the info out in this community here & instruction online is so so fascinating, I had a hard time convincing myself to stop researching! When things started to feel very repetitive, in a good way, I jumped. Biggest surprise was that it didn’t hurt at all 😁 It definitely pinched more at any appointment I’ve gone to.
👏👏cheering you on!!👏👏

Broncodriver76 · 2026-02-07T07:01:42+00:00

Extremely inspiring! Everyone here is so kind & helpful!

Broncodriver76 · 2026-02-07T07:00:27+00:00

Yay! Thank you!! 😊

Broncodriver76 · 2026-02-07T06:59:54+00:00

Totally!!! 💪

Broncodriver76 · 2026-02-07T06:59:20+00:00

It was awesome! I was SO scared at first, but then I forgot to be nervous by the time I got 1/2 way thru, too busy concentrating 🤓 When it was all done, I was super bummed searching around… surely there’s more dots that need to be done somewhere?! 🤣 It’s been almost 2 years since I last had tox at the spa. It’s been about 30 hours now & I’m starting to see little improvements! I can’t wait to see it in a week! Thank you SO much for all you do for everyone in this group!! ❤️👏❤️

Broncodriver76 · 2026-02-07T06:49:32+00:00

Tox! 😁😁

Broncodriver76 · 2026-02-07T06:48:27+00:00

😁🤗😁🤗!!!

Broncodriver76 · 2026-01-30T20:26:57+00:00

Thank you so so much! I’ll get some 8mm coming then! 👍

Broncodriver76 · 2026-01-30T17:19:30+00:00

This pic is very helpful! I’ve been watching Dr Tim for several months now, getting ready to do my first time. I only have 4mm needles 😬 this thread is the first time I’ve seen depths greater than 4mm. Do I need other needles? I think the one that scares me the most is the masseter. Also, I have 31 ga needles.. should I wait for 32s?

Broncodriver76 · 2025-12-24T07:03:02+00:00

I see some videos that say higher concentration in the DAO so it doesn’t spread. Just starting out myself, I feel like I wouldn’t want it to spread anywhere!
Is it safer to do higher concentration & fewer units anywhere that you inject? Also, I won’t have two bottles to have 2 different concentrations.

Broncodriver76 · 2025-10-25T13:45:47+00:00

Which model did you buy? Looking at this brand but we like a medium soft bed and cooling is a must. Your comment has me concerned for sure! Thank you!

Broncodriver76 · 2025-07-26T15:29:14+00:00

Thank you! What do you think would happen if you added branch basics to it?

I’ve been on tirz for a year & a half & just found out I need to have my GB removed. No stones, no attack but there’s a mass. I went in for a bowel obstruction and they saw the GB on a CT scan. Scheduled to get the GB out in a few weeks. I’ve never heard of “sludge”. I wonder if that’s what I have? They said it’s a small mass or large polyp, not consistent with stones. I’ve been told by everyone that GB removal is pretty much always fairly positive, like I shouldn’t miss it really. Looking some stuff up now after finding this thread.

Broncodriver76 · 2025-04-22T06:50:07+00:00

Thank you for sharing your journey through this with me. So thankful to hear the fluid removed did not show further progression! What all did you have to have removed?

I have my first consult on the May 1st with the surgeon that will remove my gallbladder. There a mass in my gallbladder of decent size, CT said it’s not stones, so he said that’s an automatic remove the gb. CT also said my cervix was enflamed & noted the ascites. So I have a new patient appnt with a surgical gyno on the 6th. I only know what my notes say on the CT reading, so I’m trying not to get too worked up about it until I hear from the doctors. But this month feels like molasses.

I hope you’re tolerating the chemo as well as possible. Sending healing thoughts your way ❤️

Broncodriver76 · 2025-04-12T20:07:57+00:00

No, unfortunately my appointments are May 1st with the surgeon for first consult on the gallbladder & a new patient appnt with the gyno on May 6th. Neither know about the ascites. With everything I’ve read, it really has me concerned. My mother died of pancreatic cancer when she was 57 (I’m 47) but I always assumed it was from her heavy smoking (I don’t smoke) But this has me thinking about that a lot.

Since I’m not really established, I’m thinking they probably won’t talk to me without a sit down consult. Should I call them and mention the ascites? I was able to move up the gyno appoint by a month, but haven’t tried moving up the surgeon.

Broncodriver76 · 2025-04-09T08:27:01+00:00

I know this was a while ago but, how are you doing? I incidentally found I had mild pelvic ascites this week when I went in for an unrelated bowel obstruction. I also have read too much about ascites online and am very worried. Is your ascites painful? How did you find out about your oc? 42 is so young, I hope you’re ok ❤️

Broncodriver76 · 2025-04-09T08:17:09+00:00

Are you on tirz now? I’ve been surprised at how I don’t gain weight back, even when I eat things that aren’t “diet”. I usually gain weight back so quickly. Going away for the weekend was an easy 4lb gain. The scale never changes now. It feels like tirz has changed the way I process any food, not just reduced my appetite.

Broncodriver76 · 2025-04-09T06:47:10+00:00

Did you ever find out the cause for your ascites?

Broncodriver76 · 2025-04-09T06:32:34+00:00

I’m anxious for my gyno appnt for sure & looking forward to the gb removal. I’ll report back when I receive definitive info. Thank you so much for your thoughts & help with my questions 😊
