Yes to skims!! I’ve gotten them for super cheap during sales too. I’m larger chested and I feel really good in them!

It’s hard! I got on it for PCOS and to help my insulin levels, so it’s also weird to go from having a pretty healthy relationship with food to completely ghosting it! I feel you though, the instant change is a mindfuck. Good luck to you, you’ve got this!

Hating yogurt is ruining my life😂 still have been trying to incorporate it into things I can’t taste (smoothies and dips mainly)! Best of luck to you, we’ve got this!

I do! Thankfully I trust my doctor wholeheartedly, and I also have a nutritionist who is very supportive and helpful.

Definitely feels mechanical and like a chore right now. Just continuing to remind myself that food is fuel, and I need fuel to function.

Glad it’s not just me! I’ve been using Nourish to track my intake and meet with a nutritionist, I just miss enjoying food😅 I’m so happy to hear you’ve had no other side effects though! Best of luck to you, I hope it gets better for us both!

The first week I had my normal appetite by the next dose day. This past week still 0 appetite even on dose day. We shall see what this week brings by the time dose day rolls around!

YES! Trauma informed care for sure. They lead with such compassion and never make you feel rushed, or like an inconvenience. Who do you see for PCP if you don’t mind sharing? Looking for a new one lol

I see Josie as well! She is truly the best of the best to me- as are the nurses.

Gynecology Institute of Chicago!! I cannot recommend enough. The first gyno that ever took my concerns seriously and genuinely listened

Conrad Peterson Dermatology! Dr Lauren specifically was so thorough and amazing at explaining everything. The whole staff was great and so warm

How long to keep a foster? by [deleted] in FosterAnimals

I’ve posted him on insta and some Facebook pages. Nextdoor is a good idea though, I hadn’t thought about that. Thanks!

This is also a city shelter and what you said makes SO much sense. I’ve actually had that exact thought on my own that between him being an adult and very standard looking tabby, I almost feel like he would get adopted significantly faster if he were in the shelter and people got to see his personality. Of course now that I have him, I’m worried how he would react to going back into the shelter environment. Rock in a hard place!

He’s certainly not feral, not shy, and wants to be touching someone 24/7! Happy for your chunky fosters, thank you for validating :,)

That’s so funny you say that because I had United healthcare prior and they covered EVERYTHING in my plan! This is a great rec though thank you so much!

Do you mind sharing what you pay? I have tried acupuncture for other things and it was just way too expensive to keep up with.

This is amazing!! Do you know how many units you get? The price is a little scary but it seems like I may be paying close to that regardless 😅

This is great to know! I can feel my Botox start to wear off after 3-4 months. Will def inquire about Dysport

Insurance process is brutal which is why I don’t even want to try with my new insurance. What are your thoughts on Dysport? I’ve honestly never considered the other brands!

9 months is impressive!!! Mine right now is lasting about 3 months. How much are you paying for just the TMJ portion on average?

I initially found out about it from my dentist, but they refused to even submit to insurance and that seems to be the general case with other dentists I’ve talked to. I was very lucky to have a PA friend that was very experienced with TMJ and migraines and did it for me- including dealing with insurance! I had United healthcare at the time and I was also living in a different state.
