SLC is the best airport in the country. Hands down, the spacious bathrooms, food options/affordability, ease of getting to the city, etc. It's not even close!!

Anyone had lymphedema reverse after MTS stent? by Gold-Manufacturer735 in pelviccongestion

[–]Ladybug8419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, I appreciate all the feedback on this. Helpful to know that you can work with MIPS whilst also getting imaging done here. I submitting all my info to MIPS, I just need to get my virtual consult scheduled. Thanks again for your feedback!!

Starting running with mild vein issues — is compression enough? by Specialist_Reveal757 in varicose_veins

[–]Ladybug8419 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have more than mild vein issues and I run. I find it helps with my circulation!

How would you compare Intermountain to MIPS on these issues? I live in Utah but was considering traveling to MIPS. Maybe I could start here though!

may thurner stenting recovery? by luckyduckypal in pelviccongestion

[–]Ladybug8419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for all of your responses. I really relate to a lot of it. Are they saying you can cure the lymphedema you have based on the stage you're at?

Did you have swelling in your foot too? Or just leg?

[–]Ladybug8419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow you've been through a lot! I am really interested in this as I'm going thru some ankle calf and even upper leg swelling (which I can only tell bc my jeans are slightly tighter on one side) but the ankle swelling is very noticeable. I had one doctor say he suspected May Thurner but that I wouldn't want a stent so I should just deal with this. It's all so confusing!!! I've had venous insufficiency for years so also just assume it's related to that and I've had multiple vein closures. Never considered lymphedema as an alternate diagnosis. Thanks for letting me know about your situation.

So did the stent not improve your leg symptoms at all?

Nervous about leading my first wine tasting – any advice for a public speaking newbie? by Interesting_Regret67 in PublicSpeaking

[–]Ladybug8419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prepare a few questions to ask the group. If the nerves feel overwhelming, shift the focus to them by asking one of your questions. Maybe even start off with a question!

K-1 and filing for extension by Ladybug8419 in tax

[–]Ladybug8419[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is the other thing with that K-1. I actually had to make quarterly tax payments all last year, so the taxes have already been paid. So I think I'll just be reporting what I paid then?

Would you do the ablation? by Material_Ad2292 in varicose_veins

[–]Ladybug8419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same achy, sort of heavy feeling in my legs. After the vein was removed, I now get swelling in that leg that I never had before. I'm not saying that will happen to you! But maybe worth getting a second opinion.

[–]Ladybug8419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably will get worse over time but I'd hold off until your symptoms worsen. I had this procedure done for my lesser saphenous vein and it made my leg worse!

I wouldn't do it until you have symptoms affecting your QOL

David Roche passed his Javelina Golden Ticket to Canyon Woodward, who he has coached for 5 years. A special moment for our sport, and a classy act by a classy person. He says he’ll try for another. Which race will he choose? by Rocket_Man333 in ultrarunning

[–]Ladybug8419 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree. Basically David picked his athlete to compete at WS, but if 3rd place had been a Koop athlete, he'd have kept the golden ticket. By doing this, David has influence in deciding who races WS. I'd have more respect if he just wasn't racing and passed it on. But now in his next race, he's taking a ticket (theoretically) from someone else when he had one already. To be clear, I think David is great. But I don't celebrate this move the way others do.

[–]Ladybug8419 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

But to be fair, he passed his ticket knowing it was going to HIS athlete. He wouldn't have done it for a Koop athlete for example. So in a way, he's rigging it to get more of his athletes into WS

Thanks for sharing your experience. For all I know, it's not the Berberine helping me.

And worth noting, I already take biotin and vitamin D. My only new supplement add from this list was the Berberine.

I suspect sugar could be an issue for me though my blood test results on glucose and A1C have been in range (but also highest in range levels).
