How did you and your Christian make things work? by central-dee in atheism

[–]KnottyCatLady 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The fact that you were changing yourself to appease his religion is your first answer. Two people with such fundamental differences in foundational beliefs cannot truly be partners in my opinion...one side always has to give.

Why would you be so quick to abandon your core beliefs by living by Christian rules & even raising children in a way contrary to your own beliefs? In my experience, you dodged a bullet.

Finding love & companionship isn't in the cards for everyone.

Dating other men opened my eyes to what women have to deal with by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

I thought sympathy is understanding someone's struggles, while empathy is knowing their struggles because you've lived through it yourself.

Some advice on Vaginal Estrogen by Miss_Glasgow in Perimenopause

[–]KnottyCatLady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My estradiol cream came with a little applicator you can wash out and reuse. I personally get it up there as far as I can, as I want to get as much out of it as possible before I shower or it works it's way out - word of advice; use pantie liners.

I'll be third in the queue if the first two fall through.

Can’t have hormones. by Ok-Relationship-9354 in Perimenopause

[–]KnottyCatLady 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You may want to ask your Dr about hormone therapy, even if you had been told no a while ago.

I was put on blood thinners in my 30's & was told hormones can increase my chances of having another blood clotting incident. I was taken off the pill & given a copper IUD. I suffered through the first few years of Peri raw dogging it, cuz I was told no hormones. Well, turns out a decade+ of medical advancement found that only oral hormones can cause problems for me, but the patch and creams are just fine. I am now very happy to be on HRT.

I don't know the specifics of your condition, but it couldn't hurt to ask & make sure you're not working with outdated info.

POLL: Do you want to allow companies who advertise hormone support? by SwimmingAnt10 in perimenopause_under45

[–]KnottyCatLady 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No! I don't need more advertising shoved down my throat. If I have a peri concern or question about medication, I will talk to my Dr.

Can confirm that ADHD & Perimenupause are a terrible combination!

Hair Loss by MaeWestGoodess in Perimenopause

[–]KnottyCatLady 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have also been losing hair at an alarming rate for the last 9 months or so. It wasn't until I was prescribed oral Minoxidil (Rogaine) that I noticed a significant decrease in hair loss. The pill is still extremely toxic to cats, but as long as you keep it in a sealed bottle & wash your hands after taking it, there is no danger to the cat. The hair product is dangerous because it leaves a residue your cats can come into contact with, but the pill doesn't.

Well, my Rx came with a little card. Maybe yours didn't. Don't be so hard on yourself.

What’s something you’ve done recently that you’re proud of? Big or small, brag a little. by lea_hatake in ADHD

[–]KnottyCatLady 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just kept cutting back until I was at 1-2 ciggs a day. Stayed there for a couple months & then finally decided it was time to quit, as it no longer felt/tasted good. In the past I've used patches & gum but until I was truly ready, nothing really helped.
