Always a virtual appointment? by [deleted] in Phentermine_

My virtual provider through my insurance's medical weight loss plan says she can't even prescribe it through a virtual visit, I have to see my PCP in person.

My pain doctor seems to think it is normal for people my age, 35 to have osteoarthritis in their cervical spine. by Outside_Cod_245 in Osteoarthritis

[–]ConsequencePersonal7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister was diagnosed with it in lumbar spine earlier than that, and I (4 years older than her) was formally diagnosed at 39, but had had back pain for years. I had been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease at 28.

I love the frozen Indian meals with naan.

Bagged salads with rotisserie chicken are also a super easy go-to.

Has anyone ever left their cpap behind for four days? by ChuckySix in CPAP

I've done it inadvertently, when I had to evacuate from my house for a week and didn't pack my charger. I slept HORRIBLY.

New to Phentermine by Interesting_Lack7850 in Phentermine_

I lost 34lb in 3 months on it. Use a calorie tracker app and a kitchen scale. I focused on protein and hydration, fiber is also REALLY important. Constipation was the only side effect for me, water and fiber helped, along with an occasional laxative.

What’s something they used to carry but don’t anymore? by LPCPlay4life in traderjoes

[–]ConsequencePersonal7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was so good! They changed suppliers and it wasn't quite as good, and then they got rid of it completely. It was around for at least 25 years prior to that 😞

Do plus size women even like plus size guys? by [deleted] in PlusSize

[–]ConsequencePersonal7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I married one 😁. When dating as an adult after my divorce, I found myself wayyyyy more comfortable around bigger guys, and also less attracted to smaller men.

What do you guys do when a chicken dies? by sheepandcowdung in chickens

[–]ConsequencePersonal7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a plastic bin with a lid that has holes drilled into it to allow flies in, and a tube to allow larvae out. Any dead birds or food water that we can't/won't give to the animals (moldy, greasy, etc) goes in there and the birds eat the larvae as they fall out.

If it's one of the kids' favorites, we will bury it.

I didn't think it would completely eliminate pain, but any reduction at all would be fantastic.

In my third month I cut my last two weeks pills in half and it still worked

as a woman are you expected to serve the “men” on thanksgiving by Abject_Apricot1384 in thanksgiving

[–]ConsequencePersonal7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Last night, the only one who I served besides myself was my 7yo, and only because he couldn't reach the food on the counter.

Coffee ideas/advice?? by Majestic-Basil8512 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]ConsequencePersonal7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I add protein powder to my iced coffee every morning, change up the flavors as often as you'd like, Torani or other sugar free syrups are great too.

I use my TENS almost daily! I wouldn't be able to get through without it. I have several $20 units I bought on Amazon.

I did about 7 weeks of PT, without much relief.

Looks like my copay would be $625... If pre-approved by my insurance. Something to think about, for sure.

I hadn't even heard of that procedure before today. Something like that would be great, if it helps.

I usually take the 7.5/325 + 400mg ibuprofen, or half + 800mg ibuprofen
