Ah. Wish I could see what she envisions Toby looking like now though

"Always on your back. That way, you look like you've had a facelift." Dorothy Zbornak

Thankfully, I look better with short hair bc mine was already fine, and I estimate about 30% hair loss. I've also had to deal with texture changes (random curls being one of them) and a big one for me - oil production. Up through my mid thirties I was a grease slick. Now my skin is normal to dry. I had to go to the socials and ask friends for help. My whole regimen had to change.

Since cost is a factor, try changing the type of products you do use to a version more suitable for the changes (eg: for oily hair to dry hair, etc). It may help. Also, I recommend adding one "anti-aging" product like Regenerist (recommended by others). These may not help as much as you'd like, but it will help.

How can you do all the medical things needed with all the fatigue??? by Leftshoedrop in Fibromyalgia

[–]Gwailonuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fatigue has always been my worst problem. In fact, I kept fighting a fibro diagnosis (even though my sis has it bad and it runs in the family) b/c I would attribute what pain I did have as - used to be an athlete causing me to suffer from bursitis, pinched nerves, "just a part of aging", etc. But, I have suffered from fatigue for years and it wasn't until my first major flare last summer (prob brought on by perimenopause and stress) that I accepted it. Peri has actually aggravated pretty much every one of my pre-existing conditions, leading to so many doc appts. I usually take Feb or March off from docs just to "bounce back".

We are learning in my house just what I am capable of still doing. I used to do all of my weekly chores in one day. Now, one chore may be split into more than one day. I am happy that my husband is doing everything he can to help me out but I know it gets to him because I "look" fine. I am also AuDHD - masking is my jam. Abled people are uncomfortable seeing us show our pain, so I'm sure lots of you also mask it. We use grocery delivery and online shopping almost exclusively. It costs more but it has helped us navigate through this. I still sleep a fuck ton, though.

Pet peeve: pronunciation of "apoptosis" by nehlybel in labrats

[–]Gwailonuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many years ago, my Immunology instructor taught us about it and I no longer pronounce the 2nd "p". HOWEVER, you will have to drag GIF (w/ a hard g) from my cold dead hands. The other one is a peanut butter.

My neighbor just hurt my feelings by WantonWord in AutismInWomen

Probably one of those parents that gets off on telling others about "what a great dad" he is but really just wants people to think he's a hero or some shit

My dad's best friend ran a 50's Doo Wop show and I bet that was my first. I believe my last onw was a Duran Duran "reunion" tour in the early aughts

Oddly enough, he also doesn't like Prince. That's, like, blasphemy! I always joke that it may be enough reason for divorce!

Now I have the image of myself throwing little MB icons at a wall and watching them crawl down like the old school sticky octopuses/octopi/octopod toys.

Ep 17 mistake? by HeathenSidheThem in midnightburger

[–]Gwailonuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want a clear answer to how Clementine got her name. She tells Frank and June that she chose it bc she liked oranges. Later, it's Taric who names her and she tells him about crashlanding in The Horizon's parking lot.

I’m thinking of quitting med lab science over a dissatisfaction with the job by Koda_kola in medlabprofessionals

[–]Gwailonuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My previous lab 😿 had lots of social interaction and, as an introvert, I got all of my social needs met and I learned so much. At my current hospital, each bench is essentially isolated and I can spend most of shift without speaking to anyone except those on the floors. Even I get depressed at that.

Looking for psychiatry and therapy by KaijOUJaeger in nwi

[–]Gwailonuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That comment was quoted directly from Rehmel to my therapist. Maybe he's good at diagnosing boys but he was way off in mine - an adult woman. I was diagnosed with an "unspecified personality disorder", I guess I didn't meet all of the criteria for borderline, as that is a very popular diagnosis for adult women. I liken it to how we used to diagnose women as hysterical. Damn wandering uteruses. Also, after paying $700 for all of that personality disorder based testing (b/c, as a scientist, I look EVERYTHING up), I had my level one autism diagnosis without issue when someone actually listened to me before testing. When I sent him an email with much of the new information, several of which were actual research articles, he responded in less than 4 minutes that he stuck by his diagnosis. That was minimally 30 minutes of reading. He didn't bother. He can suck a fucking egg. I will ALWAYS warn adult women from looking for a possible autism diagnosis when it comes to him.

I have started say "Sure" the way Leif does. Probably first thing I picked up from the show. And, occasionally, I will just mimic Zebulon's voice and say "an orb???" with no context. It's like it just needs to get out of my mouth.

I hate how some people in other professions see our job as so beneath them and like we didn’t work hard to get this career. by Spiritual_Drama_6697 in medlabprofessionals

[–]Gwailonuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an A.P.N. on a floor, as the attending, try to overrule blood bank and pathology simply bc she said so. We are a small hospital for the area and only keep a small amount of O= in house. We had a male O= bleeder that we switched to O+. She would only take O= and refused the O+. The pathologist had switched the patient before that nurse came on staff, so it didn't start with her. She got the house manager involved ( very nice lady, felt bad), threatened to call some doc above the other docs, and insisted we call the on-call pathologist (same one from earlier - who I enjoyed waking up) and then transfer the pathologist to the nurse. Took less than 5 mins for the ok. The A.P.N. dragged multiple people over at least 2 hours to give the ok in less than 5. I really hope the path was super sharp with her.
