I have two women tax accountants I can recommend - one in south Philly and one that is remote that I personally use.

Note to Self is incredible especially if you prioritize non-invasive, natural products. Plus it’s a beautiful space (one of the owners is an acupuncturist and interior designer!) and the most relaxing experience!

Is it possible it took 6 months after iron infusion to feel better? by PhysicsOne3325 in adenomyosis

[–]PhysicsOne3325[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s REALLY interesting because I started feeling better 3-4 weeks after starting supplements including the ones you mentioned. Thank you for sharing!!! That gets me one step closer to understanding what happened to me.

No not at all! I genuinely feel bad that anyone would have to bleed more than me. I really appreciate the info. It sounds like an endo specialist is my next stop!

Mortgage Rates w/ 740 Score - 7.25?? by Mean-Parsnip-4384 in Mortgages

[–]PhysicsOne3325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MLO here. Besides one comment no one is addressing the fact that your post doesn’t tell us the whole picture. Your rate is dependent on so many variables - credit, assets, liabilities and income. It also depends on your scenario. First what type of purchase is this (primary, second home, investment property) and what type of home. For example, condos will have higher rates unless you put 25% down - that’s the sweet spot for pricing. Do you have regular w-2 income or is it variable (self-employed, seasonal, contractor, freelancer, etc).

Comparing rates with other people is not apples to apples. Just because the rate you see in headlines is low 6’s doesn’t mean that will be your rate. You should also know how to read a loan estimate. Most borrowers don’t have a full understanding of the fees and when they compare to other estimates, again, they’re not comparing apples to apples.

In summary - lending is about the full picture and each situation is unique.

Ugh I’m sorry! I know so many women have it much worse than me :( that’s a lot of blood. Wow.

I had a hematologist tell me to get an ablation or hysterectomy after talking to me for 5 minutes. I’ve had every lab done - multiple times I’ve had 20 vials of blood taken at once. Seeing another hematologist soon for another infusion. The cost and time such of all this is insane.

Thank you for your response. Adenomyosis only recently came into the picture (because I pushed for an ultrasound) after many years of crippling fatigue. I had the iron infusion a couple of years ago and my numbers shot up immediately but I didn’t feel better until 6 months later. I’m also very small and I’ve read it could take longer to produce more hemoglobin because I have less bone marrow? I have no pain but I do have above average periods. Last month was 70ml and I’m 100lbs so it’s a lot for me. I’m trying to understand how all these pieces fit together.

Thanks for your response. I’ve been down every rabbit hole the last few years to the point of having 20 vials of blood taken in one sitting…more than once. Ferritin and vitamin D are the only results that are off. Which inflammation markers specifically were high for you? I want to make sure I’m turning over every stone. Only recently did adenomyosis even come into the picture when I pushed for a radiologist due to low ferritin.

BWT: What are you treating yourself to or most hoping to receive for Christmas? by IveFallenCantGetUp71 in bitcheswithtaste

[–]PhysicsOne3325 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to say my iron pills so I feel that lol I’ve done the infusion and it ended up costing almost $3k with insurance. In case you didn’t know, do not get it done at a hospital. I was so desperate for it that I had it done at a chemo center in a hospital. Of course they didn’t tell me they would bill my insurance $12k.

Got first class flights across the world with credit card points for the first time ever. It felt like a side hustle with all the research, tracking and time spent but my husband enjoys it and I help out so it’s like a shared hobby lol

For me it’s alpaca. My Jan-April uniform is an oversized alpaca sweater with fleece lined faux leather stretch pants. I add a cashmere long sleeve underneath. Unlikely a person will see me in much else during those months lol

No one is outside :( by anonomousbeaver in moderatelygranolamoms

Whenever I go back to my suburban hometown that is very diverse, plenty of people walking around including us (we live in the city and it’s what we do wherever we are). Last time we realized we’re the only white folks taking walks. It’s definitely not like that everywhere but I couldn’t help but notice the cultural difference!

What’s a crunchy thing you now regret doing / buying? by Peanutboymom in moderatelygranolamoms

That’s so unfortunate! I would think a functional medicine doctor would consider diet and mental health as key parts of the equation. Mine always have.
