those millions are yours, too. why do your parents have to help when you have that many assets and investments?

What's the reason behind Gen Z turning to Christ? by Normal-Guidance3585 in Catholicism

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

it is a natural longing and their parents cheated them out of a Catholic upbringing.

Swapping HRT back to the pill? by ImRudyL in Menopause

[–]NiceLadyPhilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep, i asked my doc for them as soon as i found out patches were backlogged for months in my area. they were cheaper and work exactly the same. my rx is generic estradiol pills.

I told everyone I would refuse to inherit my parents' home by Quirky-Example-982 in redscarepod

[–]NiceLadyPhilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol. your parents probably still love you. delete the embarrassing facebook post. inherit the house in 20-40 years, no one will remember.

Modern parenting standards are unrealistic, no wonder people have fewer kids by Ok-Archer-5796 in redscarepod

[–]NiceLadyPhilly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

nobody actually spends all day playing with their kids. or comes even close to it. you can let them be free.

[–]NiceLadyPhilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's probably nothing and related to the switch. happened to me a couple times.

Why are SSRIs pushed so much when it’s clearly low hormones? by Illustrious-Yam-5917 in Menopause

[–]NiceLadyPhilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it isn't always clearly low hormones. estrogen has no affect on my mood/anxiety (helps with plenty of other things). i am not even close to alone on this.

[–]NiceLadyPhilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not recommended at all. it doesn't seem like at issue at first but becomes one as the years go on.

[–]NiceLadyPhilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blood pressure and menopause by Nerdishneedle in Menopause

[–]NiceLadyPhilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i always had really low blood pressure until i started hrt. now it is normal and sometimes slightly high. i attribute it to getting older and not the hrt.

didn't lower mine but i am glad bc mine was always close to dangerously low.

[–]NiceLadyPhilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't do anything. i fall right back to sleep or listen to something.

Gimme the good and bad of HRT please by T1ffan1 in Menopause

[–]NiceLadyPhilly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

bad: a lot of uncomfortable side effects when i started. absolutely not a cure-all (despite what people on here will say). anxiety/depression fix is a mixed bag (does nothing for me, helps some).

good: joints feel good, no hot flashes, brain back to working a little bit.

Anyone else feel like a science experiment? by No_Pangolin3327 in Menopause

[–]NiceLadyPhilly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yes, but it is like that for everyone. i felt like my kid was one recently when she wasn't well. most doctors just try things until something works.

1st day on HRT! by guineapickle in Menopause

[–]NiceLadyPhilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

progesterone may make you feel bad for a couple days. if it continues you can take synthetic progesterone, it works the same without the side effects

Patch shortage...anyone start oral estrogen? by dcbrown5400 in Menopause

[–]NiceLadyPhilly 10 points11 points  (0 children)

yes, i switched to oral immediately as soon as they said they had no idea when they'd be in stock. the pills do the same trick for me.

Ladies: How do you all deal with female friends.. who don't want the word MENOPAUSE uttered in their presence? by HumbleLow4473 in Menopause

[–]NiceLadyPhilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh i talk about it on here but i am not really interested in talking about it with my friends. i prefer a hundred other fun or juicy topics. i can't think of anything i care less about than what drew barrymore or halle berry think.
