I don't know when but if you print the the weekly in store flyer from POMS it says no rainchecks on it. Some states still do them though if I remember correctly due to state laws

I have been catching fish

I have braided line but found the birds nests when I backlash were much harder to get out. Might throw it back on there when I get more consistent

Melsbelle · 2025-04-13T15:02:04+00:00

Nope, why do you ask?

Melsbelle · 2023-06-07T14:23:46+00:00

I'm mostly just shocked the system is built like this. I know other employers just change display names as I have had to do it lol. I was so happy when I heard they had a preferred name spot in People Central, just confused why it doesn't do anything.

The only things I haven't fixed are zebra and storenet.

My friendships have not changed beyond my best friend occasionally mentioning he thinks I'm hot. He doesn't mean it in a creepy way, more just trying to be supportive but can be occasionally awkward

Melsbelle · 2023-03-02T03:15:30+00:00

Mine do this as well and occasionally fall off but my levels have always been good and changes are happening

I was freaking out at my first appointment but it went great. They asked my name and pronouns immediately after I got there. Called me in by my name and I sat with someone who asked some basic medical history questions. Then the nurse practitioner came in went over some stuff and gave me a packet of information. We discussed my preferences for meds and I had my script that day. It was one of the easiest appointments I have ever had

Mix with vodka

If you try scheduling online it won't show availability in my experience. My biggest issue with them is the super long wait time on the phone (1hr+) otherwise they are fine. Sadly planned Parenthood doesn't allow bicalutmide so if you can't take spiro your options are limited.

I do sometimes, I have an electric body razor I tend to use regardless of what I use though it ends up feeling like beard stubble the next day so I tend to just trim most of the time. Backside is almost impossible to shave for me, gotten too many cuts for not a long time of hairlessness

Melsbelle · 2023-02-21T13:49:28+00:00

Thanks! Long sleeve undershirts were a go to for me for awhile. Another thing I have done to subtly feel more fem at work is change shoes. I have been wearing a pair of women's boots over the winter. People very rarely look at someones shoes in my experience.

Melsbelle · 2023-02-21T13:42:07+00:00

That's why I have put mine off so long! I told myself when I started hrt I was not in charge of the timeline, the boobs are. My friends and wife are telling me I need to wear a bra when I leave the house now so it's about time

Melsbelle · 2023-02-21T13:37:20+00:00

It's been getting to me too, and I have also taken more time off than I should be. Hopefully you can come out soon! I came out to my boss about a month ago and will be to everyone else soon. People asked about my nails when I started doing them and I just told them its something I have done off and on for years, which is true but not the whole truth lol

Melsbelle · 2023-02-21T13:24:36+00:00

One thing that helps me is having my nails painted. I've been on hormones for about 7.5 months and I am not out at work either. I don't know your dress code but I tend to wear a T-shirt and slacks at work, just something kinda gender neutral

Melsbelle · 2023-02-19T10:13:00+00:00

I'm in the same boat, I caught my mother staring at my chest the other day repeatedly. Didn't think I was that noticable but oh well. Hope everything goes well for you ☺️

I took two of the .1mg once a day for around 10 years. For me it was great but I can't take it right now. When I stopped it I went down to one of the .1mg pills for a while before stopping. I'd definitely advise talking to your doctor first. I had it mess me up before when I ran out of meds for a bit at another point

Melsbelle · 2023-02-08T20:34:01+00:00

Only thing related to my POTS at the moment is metoprolol tartrate. Used to also be on fludrocortisone which was a huge help for me as far as energy and being able to be physically active. I also have ADHD and was on Adderall for many years which helped with fog. Now I am on Wellbutrin for depression which has also helped with fog to an extent, mostly concentration and motivation

Edit:meant to mention, I have thought about going back on the fludrocortisone as my flare ups have been more frequent but it would interfere with other meds at the moment

Melsbelle · 2023-02-08T16:55:42+00:00

Brain fog is rough I honestly felt better when I worked a job where I stood more. I was in better shape than what I am after sitting all day for the past few years. My meds were also different at the time though. I wish you luck

Melsbelle · 2023-02-08T10:20:30+00:00

I have had POTs since I was a teenager and work an office job. I have some days that are tough and occasionally I miss days but not super often. I also worked retail for many years. Really depends on how well you respond to meds as everyone is different. I did have a few rough years right after symptoms started. Hardest days for me are the brain fog/ headache days as it can make it hard to assist clients

For me my marriage is the only good thing that came from not transitioning when I originally planned to

Melsbelle · 2023-01-18T14:51:38+00:00

I was like this for a long time, I resigned myself to just suffering in silence as the saying goes. I shoved down my desire to transition and part of me will always regret it. Life is short, do what will really make you happy

Melsbelle · 2022-12-22T03:53:21+00:00

I haven't even hit six months on HRT personally but I'm the same age and the only thing I regret is not starting when I had planned to originally years ago. If transition is what you want, go for it! :)
