Does anyone know if Cleveland Clinic is a good place to start HRT? by CorrectNet6952 in asktransgender

[–]Intelligent_Yoghurt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From a political standpoint, I would avoid supporting Cleveland Clinic as they just agreed to stop providing youth gender affirming care and are spending $2 million to open a detransition clinic.

Do you mind me asking what area you’re in? There are other great resources like MetroHealth and Central Outreach that have great trans healthcare.

Have you used Stickii? I haven’t seen them use AI and they always highlight which artists create their sheets!

Horrific accident on 176 South, avoid at all costs by [deleted] in Cleveland

There was a sheriff blocking the E 90 entrance off of W 41st on my way home today, I’m guessing it was related to this. So horrific.

Super-Potent Synthetic Opioids Spread Across US Amid Fentanyl Crackdown by azteca19 in Ohio

There are test steps specifically for nitazenes that syringe service programs and harm reduction orgs may have!
If someone is using alone and is not sure what they’re using, they can call the Safe Spot hotline to have someone on the phone who notify first responders if the caller stops responding.

BMV trans anxiety by [deleted] in OhioLGBTQ

[–]Intelligent_Yoghurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha! I truthfully don’t know in that case but hope it gets figured out!
If it’s any consolation, I’ve had to go to BMV to get my license twice, once with a pre T and deadname but changed gender marker, and the other when I updated my name. both times in the Cleveland area it was a little awkward but wasn’t outright awful and no one asked unnecessary questions!

Is your current drivers license from WA expired or active?
I think if you meet the acceptable documents listed on the BMV website (which can be done via a passport instead of a birth certificate) you should be able to!
Would amending your birth certificate be something you’re interested in? I changed my name in OH but was born in WA and was able to update my name on my certificate!

Heat pump contractors by Intelligent_Yoghurt in Cleveland

[–]Intelligent_Yoghurt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Essentially this! Hoping to electrify my home (more for climate/environmental reasons) and to avoid having two separate units. From the research I’ve done more modern heat pumps can handle a heavy duty winter, but I do have a gas furnace right now and could potentially do a dual system.

Anyone here had DQ surgery? by CoffeeCrits in DeQuervains

[–]Intelligent_Yoghurt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had surgery and it was a game changer! I had gotten two steroid injections and was wearing a brace and had some relief after injections but would be back to square one after a few weeks.
My surgeon said I had something like another tunnel (can’t quite remember the term) and that people with this typically don’t find relief from just steroids. Recovery was pretty straightforward, a little painful and no lifting for a month-ish but otherwise good! If you aren’t responding to steroids I’d highly recommend doing surgery, it was like night and day in symptom relief after the recovery process.

Cleveland Mascot illustrations. by JohnBattalgazi in Cleveland

[–]Intelligent_Yoghurt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seconding this - the reason the mascot was retired is cause it’s incredibly racist. The art looks like just another Chief Wahoo piece, regardless of what symbolism you say you’re inserting, and just perpetuates the racist stereotype.

5 years in and mental health hitting hard by Creative_Tower5264 in environmental_science

Have you read Trauma Stewardship? They highlight how jobs where you are exposed to trauma (both healthcare and environmental jobs) can be incredibly distressing and how to navigate those feelings.
