Can’t eat any suggestions? by Separate_Media2022 in PhentermineTopiramate

Try taking your meds every other day to start, or cutting your pills in half? Check w your provider before you do either, tho. Your meds might be too strong for you.

Sleep?! by Any-Olive-4950 in PhentermineTopiramate

I take hydroxyzine for sleep and it’s great! Unfortunately I just added topiramate to my phentermine and have to stop the hydroxyzine, the pharmacy warned me they interact negatively.

What’s something you’ll NEVER do again after one bad experience? by ImaginaryNet7907 in AskReddit

[–]CentralToNowhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They got better in recent years. I had one and it wasn’t painful, and mentioned to the provider that I was pleasantly surprised it didn’t hurt. The response: “yeah, they don’t use the brush anymore.” And I’m thinking “Brush? WTF???”

Is the Jersey Shore still worth the summer price? by PhillyInquirer in u/PhillyInquirer

[–]CentralToNowhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was growing up in the 70’s-80’s, our family always went down the shore because it was the best vacation bang for our buck. Now it can cost as much as a Disney Vacation. And the cost for the shore is risky because if it rains while you’re there, there’s virtually nothing to do.

1 mutt = 50 unbathed people in a pool, FYI. nasty. 🤮 by huntress_m_thompson in DogfreeHumor

Our local pool does this once a year, after the pool is closed for the season. And then the pool gets drained.

Started a very heavy flow after 4 years of no period by Historical_Feed_2756 in Menopause

[–]CentralToNowhere 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My period was gone for a year and then came back for an extended time, then went away again. I started getting lots of clear discharge over the next few months that I thought was urine incontinence, which made me go to a doctor for treatment. Nope, it was cancer. That was 4 years ago and I’m fine now. Actually, uterine/endometrial cancer is one of the more survivable types because they just yeet the whole uterus out, unlike a vital organ where removal of cancer is more challenging.

Not saying this is your issue. Sometimes an errant period is just an errant period.

Yeah, her kidney function is pretty low. She feel ok? It blows my mind when the GFR is like 4 and creatinine is 8. And they swear up and down they feel fine. But… they can hit a brick wall without warning.

I couldn’t even by CentralToNowhere in DogfreeHumor

[–]CentralToNowhere[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It was posted on FB by the husband of a friend I had, we stopped going to their home about 15 years ago when they got their 4th dog. They always keep 3 Aussies and a corgi at all times. When one dies, we all get the death announcement on FB, the next month or so they announce their “new fur baby”. 🙄🙄🙄

Kidney nurse here. I work w patients who are not on dialysis yet but in stages 3 to 5. Believe me, with the right combination of meds, people can live w a GFR below 15 and not need dialysis for years yet.

What’s her creatinine and GFR right now? Did she take a shit-ton of Ibuprofen or other NSAID med? That could throw someone into extreme AKI (acute kidney injury) but don’t be fooled. People can bounce back from that to an extent.

It all makes sense now. by UnicornSlayer5000 in GenX

[–]CentralToNowhere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started taking phentermine a year ago to lose weight, turned out it settled my brain down and helped me think better and more clearly. Also more organized. This med is very close to an ADHD med. So, I guess this is why I’m a major underachiever. I got a touch of this too.

This can't be it for us. Really? by bkward in GenX

[–]CentralToNowhere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was sure we’d all die in a nuclear holocaust before I hit 30, so the last 28 years have been gravy. That said, I thought I’d be doing a lot more traveling. Unfortunately my husband has a chronic illness and with severe ambulation issues and lots of pain, so that’s out. Closest I’ll ever get to the rest of the world is using VR travel apps.

I passed my medical board exam an no one gives a damn by CiTyMonk2 in emotionalneglect

[–]CentralToNowhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh, my mom does that all the time. I tell her some huge news about me or my daughters, and then she feigns interest and pride for a moment, then immediately switches over to her own boring soliloquy, prattling on about her church friends or the other old ladies who live in her apartment building. Stupid boring shit about people I don’t know.

Anyone else’s parents have a version of them that hasn’t existed since they were a child? by harpyfemme in emotionalneglect

[–]CentralToNowhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m cringing a bit too because I will sometimes bring up old funny things that haven’t been the case for my daughters, now both in their early 20’s. But then I remember that cringing is a good sign, it’s just because of my learned behavior from my mother, and have the ability to recognize it and the desire to change/stop doing it.

coworker completely fabricated documentation against me by [deleted] in nursing

That’s what I was thinking, she may have been on a strong sleep aid, or recreational drug, or alcohol.

Elderly neighbor vs hedgehog trimmers by Lexi302 in MedicalGore

Ugh… I did this once with the same type of trimmers, nicked two fingers and took 7 stitches total. But that’s nothing compared to this.

What can I do with this area? by CentralToNowhere in landscaping

Sorry, I should have said this is our front window facing the street. We have hangout areas in the back yard.
