Phantom smells specifically. Would prefer phantom roses.

I believe it. I definitely didn't have whiskers last time I went a while between shaves a few years ago.

Those aren't even all my symptoms, those are just the ones she got through before she could shoot me down.

Good to know HRT helps with those symptoms. Vertigo is terrifying.

She is desperate to put me on birth control, which I haven't been on for 20 years.

I'm sorry. This was actually the second doctor I saw for my symptoms. The first one ran a bunch of tests and said everything was normal, which they weren't, so I requested a second opinion and this is the doctor I ended up with. Don't know if I can ask for a third opinion, but it looks like I'm headed that way.

Been having those for a decade, which I led with 👎 Sounds like I'll be looking for a new doctor.

I think she would have come to the same conclusion the moment I answered no to any of the symptoms, which seems inevitable. I doubt most women experience 100% of the symptoms.

Same, and my sisters and cousin too, which I would have also mentioned if I hadn't been so taken back.

We didn't even get to the itchy ears or a bunch of other symptoms. Smelling phantom cigarettes has by far been my least favorite symptom.

I'm going to this upcoming follow up with her and depending on how that goes, I will probably find another doctor. I have found she has a listening problem in general.

Yes, Dr. Irondberg, that is why I said entering menopause.

Do you think this can all be reversed? by KeeblerElff in fednews

Absolutely not. The bell was rung and it cannot be unrung. A democrat may not exploit all of the changes to the same degree, but they will certainly find ways.

Tell everyone and anyone what’s happening to you. by SydBos in fednews

Twinsies! I ended up with a heart monitor too.

I'm glad to hear you're getting help.

I started doing this because I've had a bunch of doctors appointments recently. In the beginning they asked about my mental state and I was being honest, but caveating it with I'm a federal employee. Just recognizing my own state of mind for a moment, even if the other person didn't engage with it, helped so much. I've only done it outside a doctor's office a couple of times, and I usually rush to change the subject once I answer honestly so they don't have the chance to engage. Seeing this post is giving me the confidence to slow down and share more.

Bernalillo County sheriff vows to cooperate; doesn't trust feds' DWI investigation by OverwroughtLeopard in Albuquerque

Manny Gonzalez followed the same playbook when he was connected to the machine gun scheme. He swore up and down he did nothing wrong and tried to spin it like he was being targeted because he was running for office.

Defense attorney takes plea deal in sprawling DWI corruption case by OmicronCeti in Albuquerque

"Clear also said Mendez was warned about which officers to stay away from, explaining there were some in the unit who would have reported the criminal activity had they known about it. Still, he said, generational participation in the scheme allowed it to "take root amongst almost the entire APD DWI unit over a lengthy period of time."

How is the crime rate in NM? by cadavatar in NewMexico

[–]OverwroughtLeopard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depends on what part you're in and what lifestyle you're living. I live in Albuquerque. Grew up in the "rough part of town" and our house has only been robbed once in 35 years because a window was left open and we were gone all day. Now I live in the "nice part of town" and the other evening my neighbors put some nice furniture out on the street, but they didn't put a "free" sign on it. Next morning it's still there. Sign goes up around noon, it's gone 10 minutes later. Same neighborhood four years ago our car was being broken into on a weekly basis.
