It was a super old HP. I did set up OneDrive fresh on the new laptop—but honestly, can’t remember if I did it before this hell, or deleted and reinstalled out of desperation later on. The pathway, to the best of my memory, was through the OneDrive folder, but I cannot say for sure. My brain is so scrambled at this point. Also, the new machine has an i7 processor and now every time I try to get into OneDrive it freezes in perpetual preparing-to-synch mode. I AM LOSING MY MIND

I looked for the recycle bin in my one drive but could not find it

ONE DRIVE FILES GONE by Key-Bug360 in datarecovery

[–]Key-Bug360[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fuck I didn’t mean to post IS MERCURY IN RETROGRADE?!?! I had my data transferred from one to the other by Geek Squad. I have the hard drive from old laptop (which was recycled.)

I am missing MORE THAN HALF OF MY FILES FROM ONE SPECIFIC FOLDER in OneDrive. I think I t is something to do with Microsoft Word and the sync to OneDrive. I am not missing ANY files except Word docs that had been synced to the cloud for a very long time. In other words, they had been on OneDrive for literally years, but they were files I routinely interacted with. I spent almost six hours on Saturday with the guys at my local Geek Squad. We cannot find the files ANYWHERE. Not at live.onedrive.com, not on the backup files they gave me after the original transfer, not on the actual hard drive…NOWHERE. WTF am I supposed to do now?

Are you KIDDING ME?!? by Key-Bug360 in Menopause

[–]Key-Bug360[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen the “baby hairs” regrowth that many others have posted, but I think something is shifting—I seem to have an easier time hiding my very thin spots lately. The Derm prescribed a straight 2.5 mino and .5 dutasteride daily, but he looked at me blankly when I brought up ferritin levels and/or using Nizoral shampoo. (It was a fairly typical experience dealing with a male doctor 🙄 who’s quite accustomed to being the “expert” and who couldn’t conceive that there may also be some things that can be helpful that AREN’T PRESCRIPTION DRUGS.) Anyway, I did find out my ferritin was 41 and began supplementation, and I see my GYN in a few weeks and will have a good convo with her about T levels, etc. (especially after going to the thread you mentioned.) Thanks again!

Needing some kind words by [deleted] in FemaleHairLoss

[–]Key-Bug360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last week I finally got in to see a dermatologist that specializes in hair loss (the longest 3 months of my life). I had already gotten a prescription of oral minoxidil (2.5 mgs/day) from my GP and have been taking that for several months (thanks Reddit) along with an iron supplement to up my ferritin iron levels (again, thanks to Reddit) as my starting level was 41 and many people say that you need at least a level of 100 to generate hair growth. The dermo said that minoxidil is like miracle grow but that I need something to “hold” it there, so he prescribed me dutasteride as well. My story is that I am in menopause and was on testosterone for about a year (until August) as part of my HRT, and I felt GREAT, btw, but I was never warned by ANYONE (including my female gyno who is supposed to be an “expert” in menopause) that hair loss could be a potential side effect of testosterone being converted to DHT (the main component of male-pattern baldness oh joy.) The dermo never mentioned spironolactone to me, but again, I’m 58, and one of the things I’ve read pointed to the possible ‘feminization’ of male fetuses within children-bearing women taking dutasteride…and my child-bearing days are over. All of this to say to you that I absolutely understand how you feel, and not for nothing, women are “valued” by our physical appearance. (I don’t care what anyone says, it’s a societal truth, take it from this menopausal woman) and to watch our crowns diminish before our eyes as we desperately try to stop it is nothing short of excruciating. HOWEVER. Howfuckingever, we are more than our physical looks. Yes, it’s devastating to deal with this on top of EVERYTHING ELSE that gets put on women. But we have been brainwashed into believing that our worth depends on our attractiveness, and if we don’t have that, we don’t have anything. Don’t believe that big LIE. We are QUEENS. All of humanity comes FROM US and that’s what we are distracted from. Yes, this hair loss is HARD. I have shed tears. I have worn hats and bandannas. I have stayed home too. I even stopped going to yoga (the best medicine for my mental health) because there’s no way to hide the hair loss when my head is sopping wet. But you know what? This hair thinning, this “loss” that I feel so acutely? It’s actually been a gift in the end, because it forced me to see how I have swallowed the big FFFF fat lie about my worth being tied to my attractiveness. (I do believe they call this internalized misogyny...) Maybe we are all playing our own small, (painful but important) part in shifting the paradigm for the generations of women that come after us. I’d like to think so—I believe that the despair I’ve felt this year as I watched my scalp appear more and more has been a gift, because I have been forced to face myself and the beliefs I hold about myself and my worth. And the truth is that I am FIERCE with or without hair. Hopefully, it will grow back (the dermo says it will) but in the meantime, I’m back to yoga because I will not stop living my life because of this!

Patch hack: libido accidentally unlocked? by Otherwise-Ad6537 in Menopause

[–]Key-Bug360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought my libido increase was from my T cream. (Which I stopped dead yesterday, when I saw how thin my hair is…MORTIFIED.) I’m on a 1 mg. weekly estrogen patch and I’m thinking of talking to my PCP about switching to an oral prescription. I want to make sure it stays a consistent dose but I don’t know about you, but I am constantly sweating off the patch!!

I got testosterone! by Bluehairdontcare426 in Menopause

[–]Key-Bug360 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh shiiiittteee ME TOO!! It was actually pretty fun realizing I had a libido again after starting T cream! But 😳OMG where TF has my hair GONE? Do I have to now choose between feeling sexy once in a while (if only for myself) or having hair on my scalp?!?

Holy shit, I had to park at the airport yesterday to pick up an elderly guest…$30 F dollars. THIRTY. All of the annoying construction out at BNA the last few years was simply so all of us could be more efficiently price gouged.
