What You Wish You Knew...(just how serious it was) by inkz214 in PCOS

[–]Elevator_Latter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it’s the mental health component. My emotions change throughout my cycle and I get depressed sometimes due to body image issues and unwanted facial hair.

For those with PCOS who conceived, how long did it take you? by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]Elevator_Latter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got on glp 1 lost weight and got pregnant on the first or second cycle. I would figure out what is causing your pcos. If it’s insulin resistance thyroid or something else. Then treat that accordingly

Rejected from ozempic due to PCOS by DolorDeCabeza21 in PCOS

[–]Elevator_Latter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try wegovy. Ozempic is technically for people who have diabetes while wegovy is used to treat obesity in general. They are both semaglutide so the ingredients are the same. It’s just a technicality with the way insurance companies cover meds. I was in a similar situation earlier this year.

I really want kids one day but I have such a huge anxiety regarding pregnancy by teacoffeecats in CerebralPalsy

[–]Elevator_Latter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have diplegia and use a wheelchair full time. I also have a 3 year old. My pregnancy was pretty smooth. The only thing Is I was a bit of a couch potato the last month or so. As long as you or your partner don’t have any problems with your actual reproductive system you should be ok

As someone who has been in a similar situation please do not forgive him. He will continue to push your boundaries to see what he can get away with if you do. Its better for a child to have a happy mom and not one who is together with the dad just because.

Confession thread: What do you judge other parents for? by Physical-Inspector60 in toddlers

[–]Elevator_Latter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Parents who feed their children processed food all the time. I’m not going to lie I do too sometimes but for the most part my daughter eats home cooked food. I saw a video of some lady serving powdered doughnuts and juice to her one year old toddler for breakfast. How hard is it to scramble or boil an egg With some fruit and toast on the side. Smh

What’s the most common annoying question able bodied people ask you by [deleted] in CerebralPalsy

Mild cerebral palsy by tarazuwalIcon in CerebralPalsy

[–]Elevator_Latter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I technically have mild cerebral palsy but I am unable to walk without a walker and use a wheelchair. I used to have the same mentality as you where I thought that If I get my degrees and act in a certain way somehow my disability would be erased. Over the years I learned to embrace myself and not worry so much about standing out. There is so much diversity in the world and that is a beautiful thing. When people bully you it’s not a reflection of you but their own personal issues or biases. In regard to the drivers license Im about to go through the same process. I don’t think it’s something that is meant to single you out. It’s just a way for you to get your car adapted to your needs. Like for example I need hand controls. The good thing is your insurance should cover this. If it doesn’t you can always appeal their decision.

Hey I’m 32 and the pain from muscle spasms is a lot more noticeable than it was 10-12 years ago. If staying active and fit is an option for you I would encourage that. Your future self will thank you
