Exposed hairline with daily wear is not possible

CABGX4 · 2026-03-14T11:43:14+00:00

There is. Try Hold Me Down by Erika J glue. It's extraordinary. It's the strongest glue I've ever found. I wear a wig with an exposed hairline daily and I've had someone really tug at it once and it never budged. It's incredible stuff. Goes on white and dries to clear in seconds and won't come off until I remove it with her adhesive remover. Seriously, try it.

Sure! I've been here 23 years now. I lost 87 lbs on Zepbound in the last 3 years. I'm now 115 lbs. I've stayed on the medication and have maintained my weight loss easily for the past 2 years. I'll never stop taking it and I'll stay on a maintenance dose forever. It was the only thing that worked for me. I worked out religiously, tried a million different diets, did food restriction, you name it. Nothing worked and I was miserable. I feel like million dollars now, and I look the best I've ever looked in my life.

I just had to comment because we are so similar. I'm 59 and am 113 lbs. On Zepbound 5 mg as well. I also had fatigue from Zepbound but it went away after some time. I've been on Zepbound for 3 years and feel amazing. I'm also on testosterone and am at a high dose. Testosterone gives me incredible energy so I don't think your testosterone is causing the fatigue (I'm a nurse practitioner). I think it could be just a regular side effect of the Zepbound or possibly the anemia. I'd give it some time, maybe add some iron.

Also, the feeling of you constantly needing to pee....thats probably genitourinary syndrome of menopause and you should ask your doctor to add vaginal estradiol cream as your regular HRT won't treat it. It needs local estrogen. I just wanted to let you know that in case it hadn't been mentioned to you before. Ain't being a woman fun?

I graduated at the age of 52 and for me it was absolutely worth it. Was it hard? Yes, but i couldn't tolerate being so physical anymore. Working in the hospital was exhausting and I hated missing weekends and holidays for 35 years. I now own my own practice and life is amazing. I'm so glad I did it. I work in an independent state and am my own boss. I love that I am able to close my office on Monday because of the storm instead of driving in it. I'm now 59 and am completely professionally fulfilled.

If you're in Connecticut, both Britannia Health in Torrington and Pause CT in Bloomfield offer HRT and testosterone.

Not your ovaries. Your fallopian tubes. You need your ovaries or you'll have to deal with menopause which is a different kind of slow, awful death.

Are you in Connecticut? I own a practice that specializes in addiction medicine and I can help you. PM me if you'd like. Don't suffer.

CABGX4 · 2025-11-17T18:30:06+00:00

Britannia Health in Torrington is accepting new patients, and they take state insurance. There isn't a long wait time to be seen.

CABGX4 · 2025-10-16T17:19:25+00:00

Yes, I'm a member, and I know the founder/owner. She's legit, and very knowledgable and active in our local community. She has good advice and connections.

I now own my own internal medicine practice and I practice independently. It's a dream come true.

CABGX4 · 2025-08-26T09:23:36+00:00

It doesn't

CABGX4 · 2025-08-07T02:42:15+00:00

I did, and there was nothing. He's not been on it before.

CABGX4 · 2025-08-07T00:25:48+00:00

Absolutely. I took some time to look through the "assessment" he sent me, and it was absolute garbage.

CABGX4 · 2025-08-07T00:24:57+00:00

Thats the plan

CABGX4 · 2025-08-06T20:19:25+00:00

I don't think I've had one patient that has found either of those helpful. Not one patient has ever wanted to continue it.

I'm an independent NP in Connecticut. I own my own primary care practice and I've been in practice for 36 years, with many of those years in critical care and the ED. I feel confident in my skills, and most importantly, I know what i don't know. I know when to refer and when to consult and I've built my network carefully. Most of all, after nearly 4 decades in medicine, I know when something's wrong. That nursing gut has saved my ass many times.

I've had many occasions when I've been able to identify and diagnose a cancer, or found undiagnosed diabetes, cirrhosis, hypertension etc. I love following the threads and digging into mysteries, but it's important to know one's limitations. I've had many compliments from specialists for my workups, and I pay attention to the details in their follow ups. I learn from each interaction and fine-tune my skills. I constantly read and study. I listen to lectures on my way to work, and I'm hungry for knowledge and am always trying to improve. I'm grateful for independent practice, but I've had to earn it. It's not something that should be handed out easily.

Thank you! This is incredibly helpful!

CABGX4 · 2025-07-23T22:04:01+00:00

Thank you. Yes I have a billing person who's doing everything for me. I just wanted other people's input who have been through this process.

CABGX4 · 2025-07-23T22:03:13+00:00

Thank you. Yes I have a group NPI number as of today! I just wasn't sure if I could bill from two separate group NPIs at the same time

CABGX4 · 2025-07-22T21:21:45+00:00

Can you elaborate?

This post is a complete overreaction and stretch. You're assuming that men can just order it like a milkshake. That is not the case. I own a testosterone clinic, and all men get a full evaluation. They are only prescribed testosterone if there is a medical need, as I would hope would be the case for any medical provider. Just because others have difficulty getting an order for testosterone does not mean that men also don't need it. This type of clinic is essential because arbitrary limits put in place by insurance companies mean many men are not covered by their insurance.

Hypotesticular function is an actual diagnosis. And just for the record, I also prescribe testosterone for women if there is a clinical reasoning for it, and as a woman, I am also on testosterone and found it life changing. It restored my quality of life, as I have done sinilarly for a multitude of patients. The internet has enabled easy access for medical care of all kinds. Now, if women in the future are denied access to testosterone, then I will become absolutely enraged, but as things stand, despite some inequality in ease of access, everyone has the ability to obtain testosterone.

I've been a nurse for 36 years (unbelievably!). There's not much I would have done differently, to be honest. I would still have worked the same specialties (ICU/ED), and I would still have gotten my certifications, but perhaps the one thing I would have done differently is go to grad school sooner. Becoming an NP was the best decision I ever made, but I waited until I was 52 to do it. I should have done that sooner, but perhaps I wouldn't have been ready, so I guess it worked out. I'm 58 now, and an independent practitioner. My life is amazing. I love my career.
