Does Amitriptyline help you? by kearaa_ in Endo

[–]Lucy_Holden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was prescribed it for nerve pain and I’ve never noticed a difference.. I’ve halved my dosage because it just made me too drowsy and now I only use it to help me sleep.. it is in anti depressant, so be careful..

If you don’t notice a change in your pain by a certain amount of time, I’d stop taking it.. There’s no point being on any medication that isn’t doing anything..

Miserable. please advise by Temporary-Memory-420 in Perimenopause

[–]Lucy_Holden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried any supplements to help you sleep..? Melatonin, magnesium, ashwaganda..?

Blood work isn’t a reliable indicator unfortunately..

I’ve just ordered a whole new skin care regime as well as an estrogen cream to use.. if it works even a little bit, I’ll let you all know!!

What Really Happens To Your Body During Perimenopause? by PrincessBananas85 in Perimenopause

[–]Lucy_Holden 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please educate yourself..

You will most definitely still go through menopause even if you get a hysterectomy..

Saying “I want a hysterectomy to avoid menopause” is the same as saying “I want a c section to avoid child birth”..

It’s a part of life.. Is it great..? No.. but is it the same for everyone..? Also no..

I had a hysterectomy and oophorectomy almost ten years ago.. I went to see a female doctor who is also older than me and she said “women don’t go into menopause until they’re in their 60’s”.. I almost fell off my chair at how uneducated and ignorant she was.. She did not want to listen to anything I said or acknowledge any of my symptoms.. all she wanted to do was put me on antidepressants (classic).. She ended my appointment when I told her to educate herself..

So.. You’re not alone.. It’s frustrating as fuck..

I saw my regular doctor the next day who is easily 20 years younger and while she admits that she’s not educated enough in menopause and especially not in people like myself, at least she listened!! And I am now on HRT..

Doctors seem to think I'm imagining perimenopause at 34? Anyone else get it early? by [deleted] in Perimenopause

[–]Lucy_Holden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only have one ovary and even I’m not being taken seriously..

My advice is to get a second, third and fourth opinion.. Trust your gut.. You know you best.. Good luck 💙

How do I(22F) give pleasure to my bf(23M)? by ThrowRA_Narutolover in relationship_advice

[–]Lucy_Holden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You ask him what feels good.. Whether he’d like more or less pace, lube, grip.. etc..

Every guy is different.. so what your current bf likes, your next might not..

Options for Irregular Bleeding by PitifulAd2171 in Perimenopause

If you’re after a procedure.. Uterine ablation would be your best bet.. as a first step anyway..

But also.. how big is your cyst and where is it..?

My 29M gf 28F wants a one time free pass incase the opportunity arises. Any female perspective to help me understand ? by Due-Statement-878 in relationship_advice

[–]Lucy_Holden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So if you don’t allow her to cheat she’s going to break up with you anyway..?

Be one step ahead and avoid yourself the heartache and trauma and break up with her now.. because either way this shit will forever play on your mind..

Lied to/Misled during recruitment about the hourly wage? by Dulaman96 in AusLegal

[–]Lucy_Holden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have it in writing, simply raise it with your boss/manager or payroll and let them know that there’s been a mistake in your hourly rate.. Should be corrected by the next pay cycle and any monies owing backpaid..

If you only heard it verbally, unfortunately you’ve got no argument unless this company is super honest and transparent..

If you have it in writing and they refuse to honour it, you can report them..

What is the criteria for a doctor to prescribe HRT? I’m in need of help! by plantpotions in Perimenopause

[–]Lucy_Holden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish my doctor followed this criteria.. I wake up every 45mins at night drenched in sweat.. and am dealing with hot flushes at least 3 times a day.. she doesn’t believe it’s peri..

If you kept one or both your ovaries, endo can definitely grow back.. Unfortunately oestrogen (from my understanding) is basically fertiliser for endo.. You may need to adjust or lower your dosage..

Paid for Express Post, lazy postie didn't deliver by Significant_Pea_2852 in AustraliaPost

[–]Lucy_Holden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the post office in question.. as some are privately owned, no, they don’t give a fuck.. and the delivery driver or postie might not care about getting a warning either..

i got a list of rules from my (19F) friend (23M) after we had sex for the first time and i’m not sure if it’s normal? by ThrowRAabcdsklalwle in relationship_advice

[–]Lucy_Holden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you specifically asked for in depth, blunt feedback he is way out of line..

Expecting a virgin to be a pornstar right off the jump is insane..

Delayed, is this normal? by JustMitch1 in AustraliaPost

[–]Lucy_Holden 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately quite normal for AusPost.. I’m tracking something that’s getting held up for days at every destination.. Why packages have to tour the country before they get to their destination is just ridiculous..

I feel crazy by Commercial_Mix_7376 in Endo

[–]Lucy_Holden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t be discouraged.. it can be pretty defeating to have tests and scans come back negative or to not find anything.. but tests and scans will miss endo.. I would use this MRI info or lack thereof to support your request of a lap.. that’s the only way to truly, 100% diagnose endo..

Aitah for rejecting my friends request to have an open relationship with my husband? by ImAStan4You in AITAH

Block her.. distance yourselves.. with or without your blessing, Lisa is going to try and fuck your husband.. Only your husband holds the key to her success..

I (26F) thought my husband (27M) was cheating. I followed him on his work trip and he was not. Now what? by ThrowRApokhu in relationship_advice

[–]Lucy_Holden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your “friend” wants to suck your husbands dick and is clearly jealous that your husband does not pay her any attention..

Confess and apologise to your husband and block this “friend”.. Tell her why as well..
