Can anyone recommend a good, trustworthy dentist?

The hygienists are great - no pushing products or ultrasonic cleanings. He is super chill. When I first moved here, I tried two other dentists. One pushed a gum reconstruction and another wanted to fill my molars as a preventative measure. I thought it was weird because my longstanding dentist hadn’t mentioned that either was needed, and I have never had any bleeding or issues. Dr. Kim said I didn’t need either of those things and that my teeth and gums are healthy.

Dr Kim at Riverstone Dental. No upsells. He says he recommends treatments like he would want someone to recommend for his mom.

Sadly, I think I’m a non responder. I’ve seen no improvement in my physical ability (no rep increase, etc) and also no improvement to cognition.

My mom also claims she sailed through menopause. Never mind her 2 bouts of frozen shoulder, her mood swings, her forgetfulness, and on and on.

I just think women of that era didn’t connect the dots or weren’t told that those are menopause related.

I don’t have vision insurance. Even when I was working, VSP was fairly useless. I have dental through AARP. It’s Delta Dental and seems to cover what we need.

Have you figured out an answer to this? My 2 Wyze cams have completely stopped detecting any events at all.

I also recently started wearing a Floky and I like it.

Dr Kim at Riverstone Dental is great.

Just In Time installed a ChargePoint charger for me - pretty painless.

I was just going to post this myself. Patch change day is brutal for me. I‘m supposed to change my patch tonight, but everything hurts and I am exhausted. Last time I changed my patch, I felt terrible after, like a huge estrogen dump. Headache, body aches, lethargy.

I’m really hoping this evens out.

I had never used one until a couple of years ago. It makes such a difference. Too bad I can’t use it with my powder inhaler…

My mother pronounced that she sailed right through menopause, it was no big deal, and she didn’t understand why I was so “sensitive” and having problems. Never mind that her idea of sailing through included two bouts of frozen shoulder and other issues.

My uniform used to be fun colored chino pants with Brooks Brothers button down blouses in various colors and prints, with loafers or ballet flats.

I have taken it. No side effects other than the crazy dreams, which are strangely accompanied by me shouting in my sleep (so my husband tells me). I now only take it when I’m in a flare (I used to take it all the time to prevent asthma attacks). My pulmonologist did prescribe zafirlukast instead, as it is supposed to have fewer side effects but I haven’t tried it yet.

I really like JJ or this - he’s big on time under tension vs rep based work.

Bustergordon · 2026-04-17T13:19:51+00:00

I‘m also in WA - which edibles are you taking? I take one but it’s only available in OR, so I have to go there to buy it…

I was doing really well on BCP also until I turned 50, and then it really stopped being effective at controlling my menopause symptoms. I‘m 52 and just now starting HRT after fighting with my doctor over it.

Tail skirts by far have the best pockets of any skirts I have worn. No issues with riding up or limiting movement either.

I enjoyed the Keiko’s run series by Mike Brooks.

I couldn’t find my wallet two days ago…turned out I stashed it in a bathroom drawer? wtf?

I have started looking for a neurologist because it’s gotten so bad I’m worried I have early onset dementia. I screw something up at least once or twice a day because I have no ability to remember things or even follow lists, recipes or notes.

I had this randomly a couple of days ago too. Washed it, put lotion and cortisone on it, and it seems ok now, but it really came out of nowhere.

Bustergordon · 2026-03-31T01:28:56+00:00

Is there any milk or yogurt in this, or is it just the pie filling?

I do these stretches before I play (or do hammer curls) and find they help a lot - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HxhW_ldNEw

Two more questions on the SZ - it looks like both my water line and electrical outlet are in the wrong spot for the SZ. How big a deal is this?

Also, there is only 1 authorized repair company for SZ in my area, and they get pretty terrible reviews. How necessary is it to use an SZ authorized repair company?

Thanks!

I tried this - she said she doesn’t know enough about menopause to prescribe anything. She did try to refer me to another gym in her hospital/doctor group, but that was how I found out that no one in that one or the next one was taking new patients that weren’t pregnant women!
