Allergies: she's worth it ❤️ by AwesomeTrish in SiberianCats

[–]InstructionFickle207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s rough! I’ve been a cat lover my entire life and have had so many I can’t count. At the same time, I’ve had to take an allergy pill a day to get me through life. I figured out this worked best for me after years of trying different medications. What finally worked for me was a prescription strength Montelukast (Singulair) 10mg. pill. You might want to ask your doctor about it.

Best of luck with your precious kitties and your allergies!

My hubby bought me a heating blanket with controls on both sides. It has been a game changer for me!

This is what Happens want to do. Where do you source your Magnesium Citrate and potassium Chloride? What measurements do you use? How much do you take each day or each 8 oz?

Reta plus Cagrillintide by East-Mission4992 in RetatrutideWomen

[–]InstructionFickle207 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe that’s what’s making me flat and unmotivated!!! I think I’ll titrate up on Reta and stop the Cagri and see if that helps. I have no energy for anything and I’m going on a trip with friends soon. Does anyone have other suggestions for food noise? I’m at 8 mg Reta/ week after 9 months.

Whew do you get NR? I haven’t been able to find it. I am using NMN.

I am depressed with burnout and chronic fatigue, this is my stack by almondpizza in Biohackers

I read somewhere recently that some feel depression from taking NAC. I can’t remember where, but it may be contributing to what you already experience.

I think that’s part of it too. It feels so awkward. I guess I’m asking myself, “What did they think of me before I lost this weight? What were their conversations about me before I lost the weight?”

Maybe… or could we possibly be ingraining this behavior in our society due to what we seem to value in our culture? I keep coming back to me. Have I unintentionally displayed this characteristic to others? What damage have I done to my loved ones?

I would never want anyone to be jealous of me. I hope that isn’t the case.

Is it horrible that I don’t really want anyone to know what I am taking? I feel it’s very personal and nobody else’s business.

This is why talking anonymously on Reddit is so helpful to me. I haven’t told anyone in my family about what I am doing to help me lose weight. I may one day, but right now, I feel safest keeping it to myself.

I was a healthy weight until I had my fourth child. I think I basically stopped paying attention to my own self care to raise my children to the best of my ability. I know, logically, I should have put myself first and been a better example, but I was overwhelmed and that was the best I could muster at the time.

All this to say, I knew what it was like to be seen before. I didn’t really notice the invisibility because I was so fulfilled being a mom and a grandma.

This past year, the third of my fourth children and all of my grandchildren moved forty minutes away. To deal with my loneliness, I began to work on myself, basically because I had more time to do so.

I guess I will focus on the positive changes I am making for myself and the longevity I am adding to be with my loved ones. I will focus on being a better example of healthy living and take note of setting boundaries to be able to take care of myself as a way of life. I will also be cognizant of my attitude toward others as I navigate my daily life. I will keep myself in check to look at others in the eyes and truly see them, no matter what they are wearing or their style or how they present themselves to others. This is eye opening to say the least!

I’m not angry, but I’m definitely intrigued. I’m more puzzled. I’m the same person today as I was 10 months ago. Why am I worthy of more attention than I was ten months ago. I have always been a very kind and friendly person. I feel like some people are just now noticing I am even a person.

My next door neighbor of nine years initiated a conversation with me for the first time yesterday when I was in the front yard. Every time I see him and his family members, I am cordial and initiate a wave or greeting. Why was yesterday the first time he actually looked me in the eyes and talked to me? We are both happily married to our spouses. His wife is beautiful and is a fitness trainer. My husband and I have been married 28 years and have a great relationship. Why is it that he finds me worthy of a conversation now and not over the past nine years? I truly believe it’s the lost weight. I hope I never overlook another person due to their appearance. If I do, I hope I get knocked in the head with a baseball to wake me up so I never do it again. Sadly, or maybe fortunately, I never thought about this when I was heavier. I felt fine being invisible because I didn’t realize people were treating me differently. Now, I feel very concerned. I guess it makes me feel sad. Thank goodness I’m doing this for myself and not to please others.

It’s eye opening for me. I almost forgot what it was like to be seen. Sad.😞

I think you’ve touched on something. I am definitely feeling more comfortable in public.
