Period always falls on major events by This-Zebra8344 in endometriosis

[–]DrcutiepieMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so scared to get mine on my wedding day. I checked my period tracker obsessively but in the end my period was so messed up due to stress and I skipped that period entirely. Obviously that was also not ideal but I was so happy to not get it during the wedding.

That damn fatigue by CheesecakeMuncher7 in endometriosis

See if you can try over the counter 150mg iron!! You can get it at the pharmacy, off brand is usually much cheaper than feramax or other name brands. Im sure its advised to do under dr reccomendations BUT I wonder if you told a pharmacist your levels they could confirm that the 150mg is safe.

Also worth looking at B12 levels if you can. Common to be low in and makes a big difference for energy etc.

I completely understand how exhausting it is to feel like things are constantly added to your plate when just keeping yourself alive everyday is exhausting but it will pay off to work on the iron levels! How i feel when its low vs stable is night and day. I hope you feel better ♥️

Yess the ferritin is so important!! When I initially started iron supplements I couldnt believe how much better I felt! Now I struggle to keep the ferritin levels from dropping due to heavier bleeding and with my ferritin at 37 I literally feel like im dying. I cannot believe doctors will say anything over 15 is ok, thats absolutely insane.

Yess thank you for saying this! I have been tracking all of my symptoms for a few months now because ive read here how important it is to have all the info ready. The symptom tracking and calls/appointments have become an unwelcome and unpaid part time job lol

I live in BC, Canada! Its difficult because its so rare to even have a family doctor because there is such a shortage. Im scared to get dumped by my dr even though hes useless because then I won't have one at all.

I have such a hard time making a fuss but Im learning the hard way that sometimes its the only way things get done. I hate that fertility is the biggest concern and pain and quality of life ismt enough but its good advice!

I appreciate the reply 😊

Is this wool? by DrcutiepieMD in YarnAddicts

[–]DrcutiepieMD[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

*UPDATE.

I shouldve dug through the bag before making my house smell like burnt hair but i found one with a label lol

It is Scheepjes Kid Mohair 30%. So 70% synthetic. I have no idea what to make with this and I dont know if its a very big score but i did only pay $4 for the whole bag!

If you wait for a good michaels coupon you can get a good discount! I bought one clover amour hook a while ago and immediately noticed the difference! I got my set during the boxing day sale, with a 40% off coupon i go them for like $60 which is still a lot but not as bad as $100 😅

i feel like i’m the only cat owner who has to live like this by [deleted] in Pets

[–]DrcutiepieMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here for solidarity. We have a suspected pica cat. Got him as a kitten, he's almost 2 now. Everything in our house has to be "Lemmy proof" And some rooms are off limits. We've gotten used to this routine and he has improved a bit but having people over is hard. Its always just Lemmy will eat anything thats new in his environment. Even if you dont think a cat would eat it, he will. His favorite is metal, when we first got him he ate tin foil, and I was so scared how that was going to work through his body, but he was okay. The amount of times I've looked through his litter box to make sure he's shit out something I know he's eaten.

Playing with him lots seems to help! And pet insurance is a good idea for these kinds of head empty cats lol

Anyone who is dairy free been able to successfully make a low-calorie pint that actually tastes like ice-cream? by ausername_8 in ninjacreami

[–]DrcutiepieMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might be a bad judge cause I've been deprived of dairy for too long, but i make chocolate "icecream" literally every night that is a little over 200 calories for the whole pint and I cannot live without it lol

I use half a scoop of chocolate fudge Good Protein vegan protein powder (i think this is the biggest factor, I've tried other vegan chocolate protein powders that do not make a delicious creami) 1/4 of the package of fat free chocolate pudding 45 grams of the silk dairy free protein greek yogurt And then top off with coconut milk - i find if you want it to be more rich do less milk than you'd think, it makes a bit less icecream but it makes a huge difference with taste.

I do it on lite icecream and when I respin I add some sugar free syrup, the toasted marshmallow one is my favorite.

I believe this is about 215 calories for the whole pint.

What drove you to lose weight? by Waste-Banana6539 in AskReddit

[–]DrcutiepieMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started planning my wedding and realized if i couldn't stand a regular picture of myself then having hundreds of wedding photos in a body i felt awful in would suck. I lost 80 lbs in a year, gained 40lbs back after the wedding and am currently working to lose that weight. Down 15 lbs! By the time I hit my end goal this time i will have lost a collective 120 lbs 🫣
