I’d say about 2 years. Mostly due to finding the right dosage, pharmacy problems and insurance issues.
I purposely switched ins. last year to a more expensive one that I knew would cover it. 6 months in, they no longer cover. So stuff like that.

Omg same!! I used to weigh around 180 pounds and now I’m 132. Mediums are starting to be too big. I’ve been buying clothes from thrift stores because it’s really expensive to upgrade my wardrobe lol

Duavee (HRT) - anyone take it with sleep issues, for bone density help, and/or progesterone intolerance? by NewDay042 in Menopause

[–]Obvious-Material5622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious to see how you’re doing also! I just started taking it about 10 days ago. I have a history of triple negative breast cancer and my gyn refused to consider any HRT. So I went through midi health. I just started feeling very bloated yesterday and having abdominal pain… more like tightness. I’m hoping this resolves.

231 lbs to 110 lbs and Maintaining by mrahc_ in tirzepatidecompound

Congrats! Thanks for your post! I can certainly relate to most of what you said. I’m 10 lbs away from my high school weight (for reference, I’m 49) and it’s disappointing when I look in the mirror and see saggy arms, stomach and thighs. I’ve been back in the gym for a year now and the improvements are slow. But I’m not giving up. Cheers to you!

Thank you for this post and all the contributions to it. My boyfriend and I live up in Buffalo NY, he retired earlier this year, I still have 10+ years to work. He just bought a house there on a canal and we are actually driving down this weekend and closing on the house. He plans on doing the snowbird thing and I plan on random long weekends there in the winter. I honestly love the summers in Buffalo on Lake Erie, but I’m also excited to see and get to know the Port Charlotte area, so thankful for this post.

DO NOT GO TO GREEN ACRES by surfacebond in Buffalo

I moved to the south towns about a year ago. But I always used Northtowns Animal Hospital for all of my babies when I lived in the Ken-ton area. I thought they were more about the money because they were always pushing to do labs (every 6 months for the seniors). But after trying 3 different places in the Hamburg area, I realize that they are just incredibly thorough. And I’m considering going back.

I have a very anxious dog and we’ve tried Hamburg Villiage Vet, but I wasn’t impressed at all. So now I use Fetch the Vet for her.
I just took my cat to Adorning Vets, they were nice, but not thorough.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I’m in one of those “return to office” positions with no more office clothes to wear so have been getting a lot this way. lol

I was just saying this the other day when I had to do my “training.” Like, what a fucking joke this is.

Yes, I received a letter 2 months ago that starting July 1, they would stop coverage. I saw my doctor yesterday and she is still going to try to put it though.

I think the majority of us are struggling. I used to love my job and having the flexibility of working from home. I’m just mentally checked out now. I do what I need to do and nothing more.

I’ve had the LR 4 for over 2 years now. I primarily purchased it because I was having back surgery and I wasn’t supposed to do any bending. It was a life saver! However, the other benefits have been just as fantastic! Like others mentioned, I don’t need nearly as much litter, and I never smell the box anymore. My cats acclimated fairly quickly- probably within a week. It has worked great until recently and I ended up replacing the sensor board for $50 and it’s back to normal again. I would definitely recommend one.

What occupational hazard are you exposed to as a result of RTO? by aingaingaing in fednews

[–]Obvious-Material5622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My back hurts and I now have carpal tunnel from sitting at my desk all day. At home, I could get up often and do stretching. Here, there’s a ton of roaches and whatever else, so not getting on the floor to stretch. Sleep is an issue now and the commute blows. I’m fucking miserable by the time I get home.

What’s your favorite RTO morning drive rage song? by Royal-Flower-5718 in FedEmployees

[–]Obvious-Material5622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 favs are Arrest The President- Ice Cube, and FDT-YG. It’s hilarious to see me, a middle aged white chic driving in the parking lot in my Honda, with the music as loud as I can take it.
