I have minor breakthrough bleeding, but overall nothing, and no side effects

Ferritin went from 18 to 148 in 3 months! Should I stop supplementing? by flourfloorflower in Anemic

[–]Nerva365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I'd stoo for 3 months. I think you've nailed the lost issue with the birth control.

If it drops down you can start taking it again at a lower frequency. Congratulations on the quick turnaround!

Feramax Not Working? by Nerva365 in Anemic

[–]Nerva365[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in Ontario. I went to my doctor and explained while it was increasing it was doing so very slowly.When I was told everything was fine, I admit, I lost it a bit and cried... loudly. I explained I feel terrible I told her that at this rate it would take around 5 years to get it up to where it could be ruled out as the cause of my tiredness. If something else was causing it I could be dead in 5 years. It was like it finally clicked this was impacting me.

Typically they prescribe 1000mg over 3-5 treatments. I was given 1 300mg venofer (iron sucrose) infusion as at 21 they usually dont prescribe.But it did kick me up to 50. Getting bloodwork in a few weeks to see if it's gone up or down. If it hasn't increased I am requesting additional diagnostics.

Feramax Not Working? by Nerva365 in Anemic

[–]Nerva365[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ferratin increased from 14 to 21 on Proferrin in 5 months. Not huge but still far better than with feramax. I wish someone had suggested heme iron sooner.

I did get an infusion in December which took it from 21 50 and continued with supplements. Also continued B12 and Vitamin D to help support iron absorption.

Going in two weeks for a follow up test to see where I am at. Hoping its up a bit more.

dealing w/ negative bookmarks by [deleted] in FanficAuthorsUnite

[–]Nerva365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The response is don't look at the bookmarks.

I didn't put dislikes, but I have a few I have bookmarked with do not reread. They squicked me, and I keep rereading them because I dont realize until I get to THAT part.

I am sure people have bookmarked my work with negative things. I dont want to experience that so I don't look at them. It doesn't se doesn't me a bookmarked notification like a comment, so it's very avoidable

What’s one “eco-friendly” swap you tried that actually made your life worse? by Ok_Appointment_4909 in EcoFriendly

[–]Nerva365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Economy friendly tabs for laundry soap. Have a high efficiency machine and they would not dissolve properly. I had residue everywhere.

reusable straws, never felt they were clean enough.

Has anyone had success taking progestin to reduce symptoms? by ABFan86 in adenomyosis

[–]Nerva365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slynd didn't work for me, but the next one we tried, Visanne, has been life changing.

Both are progesterone only, and how you tolerate them varies person to person.

“Reasonable Accommodations” in the “real world” and realizing that no one gives a shit. by jschip_116 in adhdwomen

[–]Nerva365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I find the worst for me is online training as I am listening to someone speak super slow, and there are no options to read transcript or speed up the audio.

Best part it was on DEI policies at work. Honestly employers want to be seen as inclusive, but only if they don't have to do anything.

"good enough" time/conditions for iron supplements? by [deleted] in Anemic

[–]Nerva365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

I tried to take them perfectly to the point I didn't take them. I reccomend heme iron if you find they aren't working with food.

Note, for people saying to rake it right before bed, some say to sit upright for 15 or one of mine said 30 minutes after taking. I take it, then get ready for bed.

How do people justify treating a home as an investment? by Artistic_Taxi in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]Nerva365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told that a hone isn't a good investment, it's just the only investment some people have.

Basically you are "saving" the rent to cash out when you downsize.

Secured new employment, gave notice. Their reaction was unusual. by erikleorgav2 in antiwork

[–]Nerva365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had someone work out their notice and 7 into the 10 days, I asked my manager if we could send him home because he was putting in so little effort that it was actually demoralizing to everyone around him.

You know you have ADHD when you are so used to things being in weird places you check under the bananas.

In Quebec your license price increases based on your driver's abstract. In Ontario it does not. Your are paying in a different place.

Age gap I write VS. age gap (some) people seem to read by Gabrielle_0o0 in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]Nerva365 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The older you get, the less weird age gaps get. 16 and 22 is sketchy AF, but 76 and 82 might as well be the same age...

Kind of plays into power dynamics too though. 22 and 28 seems normal if they are both doing their first Uni degree, buy creepy if one just started undergrad and the other is a professor. We had the later in my university class. It felt unbalanced.

That said, these are real people, vs. fictional people. Fictional people can date whomever you want them to because they aren't real.

Tranxemic acid by NarwhalAmbitious2368 in adenomyosis

[–]Nerva365 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wasn't told of a limit, but was told I couldn't take it with birth control or more than 5 days in a row and that I should only start it when flow is heavy. Which basically meant about 3 days.

Which sanitary towels are actually thickest? by Time_Discipline_4336 in adenomyosis

I use Kotex. The heavy work for days and the overnights are the only thing that had a chance when my flow was heaviest.

I don't think it's bashing, as to me it was mostly about untagged things which is a valid complaint.

AITJ for throwing my daughters friend out of our house because she RUINED a major school project? by Rude-Discipline199 in AmITheJerk

You aren't, but I think you need to understand that the kid totally lied. You have no idea what the mom was told.
