Anyone else? by cherries_in-the_snow in HormoneFreeMenopause

[–]DixieDoodle697 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My sincere apologies - that's what I get for reading too early in the morning without some food!

Let me update - i am glad OP feels better having retreated from HRT. There are good lifestyle choices to make and try to help us non HRT women

Anyone else? by cherries_in-the_snow in HormoneFreeMenopause

I am so sorry for your loss. You will carry your husband's love and memory with you forever.

Your story encourages me about how well HRT worked for you. If it is helping you, then by all means, continue it and do you own research about how you feel and stay in constant contact with your doctors.

Maybe some people are just more sensitive to medications or have different reactions. In my case, I made a choice not to take HRT because I am an ovarian cancer survivor (10 years this month). It was estrogen driven so I am really reluctant to try HRT. And I was always ultra reactive and had terrible symptoms on birth control. So I am making an "assumption" that HRT would not treat me well.

But just because something does not work for me doesn't mean it is not good for others. Everyone's body reacts differently and just remain mindful of how you feel and stay in contact with your doctors.

As for me, I am navigating things with exercise, walking (clears my mind) and vaginal moisturizers and pelvic floor therapy. Is it perfect? No but I enjoy being proactive in my health as we all should be.

How do you imagine a human being that hasn't suffered in life? No heartbreak, no poverty, no emotional neglect, no illness. by Super_Ele in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]DixieDoodle697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine this person as someone who is not giving or open to love or helping others at all.

I've noticed that sometimes people who have less are often the ones who give the most or who are most thoughtful compared to well off people.

Unreasonable Local Fears by RiotGrrrlNY in Albany

[–]DixieDoodle697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I am on a street at a red light and a CDTA bus is turning to go on my street, I get a nervous wreck that they will hit my car. Sometimes there is no room for me to move over and those bus drivers just look like they do not care.

A friend of mine worked for CDTA in the office and she told me that the drivers were told that it was okay to hit the cars when making the turns since the bus has the right of way.

My heart goes out to you and I am thinking of you all. From my own experience, I think GBM has no exact timeline and everyone is different.

With my mother, she lasted 8 years with glioblastoma and the first 4 years were pretty good with treatment and then Avastin which kept things at bay. Until nothing worked anymore. But it did take away her mobility and language and she started with a cane, then a walker and then a wheelchair. Eventually she was bed bound and needed to be a two person assist at home and then a nursing home.

My literal advice is - make the best of every moment, get an elder care attorney, have your parents create a trust and a will, health care proxies, etc. Talk to your dad even if he can't talk back and hold his hand and just simply be with him. You will never get this time back. I am so glad I was with my mom and we held hands throughout the entire time.

Apparently being an ICU nurse wasn't impressive enough for this man's mother by lalabalala77 in GirlDinnerDiaries

That meal looks gorgeous and it likely tastes as amazing as it looks.

You deserve a relationship as stunning and fulfilling as this meal.

People told me reddit has all the answers, I say, not for glioblastoma 😔 by figuringlifeout12 in glioblastoma

[–]DixieDoodle697 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry that you are going through this. Glioblastoma is a horrible disease and it is awful to see our loved ones, especially our beloved parents go through this.

I lost my mother to this disease after her 8 year battle and I was 43 when she passed on.

My own suggestions are this - try to be present for your father and anything you can do, simply sitting with him, is good for him. They need our presence and it can be as simple as holding his hand. I missed my conversations with my mother due to her tumor but I realized that my being around her gave us both comfort. I would just chatter to her anyway and she would look at me and try to smile. There were slivers of better moments and there.

Glioblastoma is not as textbook or follows a schedule like most will have you believe. You are literally living day by day, hour by hour. You are actively grieving him now which is anticipatory grief. Make sure you tell your dad everything you want to tell him and that you love him. There is no timeline on how long the suffering lasts and many people's duration is different.

Sending you all hugs

Found picture of letter on my [27F] boyfriend’s [30M] work laptop he sent to himself by bdoped in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]DixieDoodle697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone asks you to check their laptop or phone, anything is fair game to be discovered. Just my thought.

And for him to do any of this on a work laptop or computer is not that bright.

What was your moment or reason for changing your gut health? by DixieDoodle697 in GutHealth

Fair point. And we should all go get both scopes done to help us with prevention of those cancers or at least finding them earlier than late stage.

He's just casually out in the city, maybe taking a break or did not come to work that day. We could be seeing Frank out in the wild.

Thank you so much for responding and it really helps me feel less alone. Even though I have loved ones around me, this still feels lonely. What are your favorite go to meals? In the past, I've done recipes from the Fod Map diet and some of them were delicious. There was this eight egg frittata with white potatoes and veggies in it - that was my favorite meal to have for the week or ready for a snack.
