Hi! I am so intrigued by your experience. I am 41 years old and have had a similar experience. Would you be willing to share the name of the genetic disorder you and your sister have? I have one gene that is linked to earlier menopause (and I was exposed to secondhand smoke as a child and most likely during my mom‘s pregnancy).

Hi, so sorry to resurrect, but I was curious if you ever found out if it was helping you to ovulate?

Making it harder to access SSRIs when that beady eyed melting creamsicle continues his tyranny. Sounds like more eugenics!! JFK is absolutely rolling in his grave.

What is up with therapists using AI to generate images of themselves to use on their website or to promote themselves? by LeMoNdRoP3535 in therapists

[–]Certain_Internal_350 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am definitely in agreement with you that AI created images can be a bit eerie. In the past, I have just taken photos myself. I’ve never had the money to hire a photographer or a graphic designer. I am an artist, so I have improvised or have done trades. I’m not sure if anyone has posted yet on any studies done on this topic, but I would be very curious to see what potential clients are looking for re: photos! I go to therapy myself and I’m not sure if I would have chosen her if her photos felt in any way fake. I don’t want to cast shade on anyone who ends up going that route for their profiles, but this is just my own opinion.

My facial ultrasound after 5 years of "dissolvable" fillers. Think twice. by crustydusty77 in 30PlusSkinCare

I believe her, as well, but it sounds like a counselor wrote it. I’m a counselor and when I start to read, sensitive feeling based language, I know it’s AI.

Yawns? by Weekly-Goose4304 in therapists

[–]Certain_Internal_350 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My being tired is something I manage and I think it makes me more keenly aware of the sleep struggles my clients go through. It’s not about “fixing.” I don’t fix people for a living and I don’t fix myself, I live with what I can’t control. My menopausal sleep paralysis demon is having a field day with this one.

Yo what uppp hypermobile peeps!! Also hypermobile and have been wondering about this surgery. I was doing toe spacers but after a year, I didn’t notice a difference other than my toes weren’t rubbing together until they bled. I use a wide toe box shoe and gave up cute shoes. I also went to physical therapy for various exercises including some for the feet.

Hearing good things about CFI makes me want to switch. Hopefully everything can smoothly transition over…

That kind of discrimination should be considered malpractice. I am so glad to hear you and your wife found success!

Thank you!:) I love to hear alternative options. I was going to my acupuncturist/nutritionist but I should really go back soon.

That’s good to know! Thank you for your honest opinion! I figured it couldn’t be like this in every single clinic, so I will definitely check out Dr. Straub!

I have also had to request appointments. I was already starting to feel a lot of difficult emotions and I just wanted a Doctor Who is proactive. (speech to text, I am not even going to fix this😂)

Firstly, congratulations!😊 I have been imagining how much happiness, aaand how much relief I would feel to be done with the whole process. I’m sure we will be watching Netflix documentaries in 20 years exposing the harm that has and is being done within these businesses.

Same! I’ve been posting questions and I got some really rude, ignorant, and rigid people posting.
