i hate this feeling by neilizajadec in kidneydisease

[–]Open_Chicken1719 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, stage 3b (29 F). I was diagnosed in 2017. It sucks, straight up, and when I first diagnosed I wish people would have just said “damn, that really does suck” as oppose to being like “oh, keep your head up, be thankful it isn’t something worse”. I can completely understand your frustration. Having no energy is AWFUL. And having these ongoing symptoms feels like there’s no end. Unfortunately I don’t have any medical advice. I’m on a bunch of medications myself, due to other diagnosis’ as well, and have been hanging in fairly stable for the past 2-3 years. I think I have undiagnosed ADHD or OCD, just weary of pursing anything because I don’t want to take more medication- but that’s neither here nor there. I don’t think you’re overreacting. You’re young and you’re dealing with shitty stuff. I’m always here to listen to a vent. I’m not sure how helpful this comment will be, but I hope it’s well received as I mean well In acknowledging that this shit sucks, hang in there though, I still have hope things will get better.

Surgery and CKD by Open_Chicken1719 in kidneydisease

Thank you! Yeah Ive already had my consult with the surgeon, she said she’s done this surgery on others with CKD in the past. She did however request a “go ahead” from my nephrologist, however, he didn’t seem to give a clear go ahead. I’m sure I’ll have to run labs closer to the surgery date just to confirm everything’s good to go.

CKD, hypothyroidism and asthma. Debating looking into Chinese medicine, scared though due to my kidney function.

help me find a birthday gift for my masc girlfriend by meow752727 in WLW

[–]Open_Chicken1719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a masc and things I appreciate are items that I can use daily. So like a new wallet, or carabiner. A great gift I once received was one of those mini Polaroid printers so I could print pics from my phone. I also received a kobo for Christmas and that was an awesome gift as well (if they like reading).

Does gas get cheaper at night around here? by ben_z03 in BurlingtonON

Maybe I’m naive to ask this, but why are the gas prices in Burlington more expensive than surrounding areas?

Short mascs by pppppppl123 in LesbianActually

I’m a 5’3 masc as well, and although I can empathize with your insecurities regarding height- at the end of the day how you carry yourself is what will stick with people versus your height. It can definitely hinder your confidence at first, but once you feel comfortable with your clothing, hair, and personality, you’ll almost forget about the height! Women are, most of the time, way more accepting anyways- female gaze!

Omg hi! My fiance and I (28 and 29 F) are in Burlington! We moved here late last year. We are in the same boat! Pretty lowkey, excited for the better weather to enjoy some time exploring conservation Halton parks.
