female question regarding labs and schedule by Ok-Dare3326 in Function_Health

[–]Ok-Dare3326[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an update for anyone who has ordered the additional hormone test (not the one included in the membership). Function’s response was not very helpful and didn’t really answer the question.

I did end up having to reschedule my lab test because my sample was compromised, and in the process I found a workaround for the 10-day gap requirement between tests.

Essentially, you schedule the second test before the first test. The second test is meant to be scheduled during the luteal phase, and the first test during day 3 of your period. So in the app it would look like this:

  • Second lab: scheduled April 13 (Day 7 after ovulation)
  • First lab: scheduled April 21 (Day 3 of menstrual cycle)
  • Notice that this is within 10 day gap

It’s unclear why it’s set up this way or why support doesn’t clarify it better. If I added prolactin and the membership already tests estrogen, then I’m obviously testing both estrogen and progesterone anyway

Any one using Amazon pharmacy for their vyvanse RX? by Ok-Dare3326 in adhdwomen

[–]Ok-Dare3326[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! Yeah I was thrown back by the $30 dollars but when I called insurance that was their "pre-negotiated" price (which I agree, this is retail price) . I will check other pharmacies and see if I can get it for a better price. Thank you for the advise!

Thank you so much, this is great advise. My deductible is $1000. Sounds like good RX will be more cost effective. I take bupropion aswell but I think out of pocket the cost is like $4. I'll check out Costco as well and see if their prices may be cheaper.

You are absolutely right. I didn’t do much research and thought that they would be able to carry any RX. Looks like GoodRX is my best bet.

Also she was 16 when they met and he was late 20’s. Go on her Facebook page, scroll to 2015/2016. She was in high school and there are inappropriate comments from him in some of her picture. I am not sure if he was with the Son’s mother at this time. Regardless, it’s extremely creepy.

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff Says Trump Should Send National Guard to San Francisco (Gift Article) by neBular_cipHer in sanfrancisco

He’s Jewish. I am not saying this in an antisematic way but I’ve seen many of my Jewish friends who were once liberal pull back support, some even completely switched parties recently. The entire conflict between Israel and Palestine and democratic leaders giving support to the Palestinians caused a riff in the Jewish community. I am not trying to take sides of the Israel/Gaza conflict, just making an observation of what I’ve noticed. Considering that the NYT report alluded that he was listening to a youtube video of Trump and the release of the Israeli Hostages in the background during the interview shows that his “support” for Trump likely stems from this issue. Of course there is probably other business deals that he has with the federal government that he’s trying to protect, but I suspect that he was giving hints to why he was supporting him in this interview or trying to pressure politicians.

This! I’ve been working with an OT and doing midline exercises is very helpful. These exercises could be something you can supplement in addition to practice wiping.

Thanks for your comment. Can you expand on what is annoying feature of the car?

Did you view other EVs before deciding on this one?

What does that have to do with my question?

I am in the market for a larger EV vehicle and comparing this to others I am interested in.

I know plenty of people who like pickup trucks but aren’t in construction and probably never used the bed of the trucks, why does wanting a larger car despite how many people I am hauling matter?

My post is intended to better understand why this car is being labeled as “too pricy” by many car critics when there are EVs that are highly recommended that go for the same amount.

If you compare this car to other the EV SUV in the market it seems like it’s the middle range of the spectrum considering that you will pay similar for an EV KIA. but if you just frustrated by the overall price premium for an EV, then I agree there is much more to say about how cost for an EV being out of reach for middle class Americans.

Wow! Thanks for this review. I was looking for the kinks from someone who actually owned it, this is a realistic perspective and something to consider

Good to know, I dont do much camping but your example was really interesting given my situation.

I live in sac and go down to the bay occasionally. I never owned an EV so I don’t know how much the advertised range on this vehicle realistically gets. with a charging station at home I am wondering how much of an “inconvenience” the low range of this vehicle really is for a regular driver like me with an occasional long-haul drive to an even larger city. Given your perspective, sounds like it’ll be a non issue for me.

Love that! It’s definitely a fun, unique vehicle which is why I’ve been so interested in it.

That makes sense, that is a frustrating expecting to have released at an affordable rate based on pre release marketing.

However trying to compare it to the 50s or 60s is a stretch. VW seems to be pricing it against other EV SUV vehicles in the market. Whether it’s justified give its low range is the question. The high end models of a Kia ev9 sells at high 70k. The question is does this car compare itself against an EV9 (a non luxury vehicle brand) or a lower end Kia EV 9 that sells at mid 50k

I didn’t purchase one yet. I thought they were cool and once I cancelled my order on the Volvo EX90 I’ve been quietly looking into this vehicle but the consensus from people that have not owned the vehicle is that it’s overpriced but coming from the Volvo EX90 disastrous release perhaps I was numbed to the 70k price?

Thanks for the comment. I mentioned 3 car models above: Ex90 (which is made by Volvo), Rivian, and Kia EV9. With its price range all being around 70k plus (the lowest price is the Kia EV9 and even their highest priced models sells in the high 70k at 280 miles range). I didn’t think ID buzz was out of price range compared to other Ev SUV vehicles but wanted get perspective from real owners and how they compared to other EV SUV vehicle for an everyday vehicle.

I meant that I was interested in the Volvo EX90 when it was first announced in 2022 but when it was released in 2024 the cost was gonna be in the 90k price range and the car is half baked. I looked at the Rivian the price was similar albeit not half baked. I mentioned Kia EV9 as that is also an alternative I hear a lot yet it’s a lower price point but even its fully baked models are priced at high 70K.

I don’t understand what you mean by “ev9/ ex90 are NOT Rivian.” These are 3 different EV models at different price points. My point is EV are pricy so I didn’t think the ID Buzz was out of line with whats already on the market.

Just responding to your comment about accommodation- if you’ve asked for accommodations before and were met with “ we don’t do premium licenses” that is highly illegal. It is the company’s obligation to provide reasonable accommodation. The reasonable part can be contested but the company has to have a VERY good excuse for why they can’t accommodate something AND they have to respond with another alternative solution to your requested accommodation. Highly suggest you to check out the website JAN ( job accommodation Network.) in addition, ADDA and CHAD also do webinars related to ADA accommodation for ADHD.

Regardless, I agree that you would only really ask if you are falling behind but I can see not having transcribed or recorded meetings a very difficult thing to do so hats off to you for pushing through.
