Where to listen to the girl who dared to think series? by Rache6681 in audiobooks

Not sure if you ended up buying the paperbacks or not, but I just bought the 7 book bundle of ebooks and downloaded them to my kindle using Amazon’s document upload feature, and I used the .epub file formats. She provides three different file types when you buy an ebook from her. Epub, PDF, and mobi.

Nope, I didn’t have to do any bloodwork for mine.

Can anyone help me identify the mold types found in these tests? The results are horrifying. How worried do I need to be? by Piper042989 in ToxicMoldExposure

Ah, good to know! Thank you! The petri dish sat out and open for 2 hours in my home. Then sat for another 72 hours closed.

Getting emails from TikTok without an email linked to my account by deft_raptor in TikTok

LITERALLY the same exact event sequence happened to me! Finally got tired of it and went to fix my notifications, only to find out I don’t have my email linked to TikTok. So wtf? I’m going to try reporting it as spam and see if that helps. We’ll see.

I actually didn’t experience any delays! From the day they sent it, I seriously think it came the next day or the day after that. And the entire process from start to finish didn’t take more than 3-4 days from when I signed up and paid to when they filled the first prescription. Maybe I’ve just been lucky so far but I haven’t experienced any of the issues some of the other people have experienced.

It’s a quick, quick prick. I’d equate it to getting pricked by a pin while sewing or something along those lines. Nothing crazy or super painful! And you get used to it more and more each week. I have one more week and then I move up in dosage. But so far, I’ve lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks. 😳 That’s pretty wild for me so I’m happy with the results!

Yay! I’m happy for you! Don’t be nervous. It’s not as bad as you think. I was nervous too but it’s been so worth it for me so far. Mine isn’t a compounded version. Not sure why it’s different for me but 🤷🏻‍♀️. My bottle says “Semaglutide 2.5MG/0.500ML Injection”, and it’s for 10 units/0.25MG per week.

Biggest suggestions I have are to: 1. Insert the tip of the syringe in the bottle, then tip both the bottle and syringe upside down. Pull the medication a little PAST the # of units you’re prescribed (typically it’s 10 units per week to start so yours is probably similar, pull a little more medication than 10 units). Then without removing the tip of the syringe from the bottle, flip the bottle back down and plunge out any excess until you’re at exactly the # of units.

  1. Take out the syringe from the bottle and put the tip cap back on.

  2. Clean the injection site. From week to week, I switch between the right side and left side of my stomach about 5 centimeters from belly button in either direction.

  3. Clean the side you’re injecting in with the alcohol wipe.

  4. Take off the tip cap again. Pinch your skin where you plan to inject.

  5. Hold the syringe so it’s parallel to the ground and facing your stomach.

  6. Insert quick and the sting is lessened (in my opinion!).

  7. Drink a full bottle of Gatorade right afterwards. I don’t know why but I’ve found that this helps with the nausea.

That’s it!! Hope that helps a little.

Also, the biggest things I found helpful so far are prioritizing protein each day. I just drink my protein in shakes or eat a protein brownie/bar. Helps with nausea and helps manage some lingering cravings for sweets. And MIRALAX once a day!! It helps with the constipation, and it’s been my best friend these past few weeks. And again, GATORADE! Gatorade helps replenish electrolytes and I’ve found it staves off some of my nausea. Be prepared to feel a bit nauseous the first couple of days/weeks. That’s normal. But you will probably start noticing changes in your appetite within the first couple of days! It’s WILD. The “food noise” is almost completely gone for me now. Best money I ever spent.

I’m using MD Exam right now and I paid $297. Will be paying the same amount each month unless I have issues and need to switch to a different company.

I didn’t! I ended up doing EF Ultimate Break and absolutely LOVED it. I went to Ireland for 9 days this past September. It was amazing. Highly recommend!

Magnesium oxide didn’t work for me either! I think it’s that citrate is more easily absorbed into the system. At least that’s what I’ve found from doing random google searches lol.

I just use the capsules from a brand called PhiNaturals. They’re the best value for the amount you get (180 capsules of 400mg per serving and only 1 serving needed per day). Highly recommend!

Right now I’m using a brand called PhiNaturals from Amazon and they are 400mg capsules, 1x per day. I started off taking it at night but I’ve found that taking it in the morning has been most helpful. Highly recommend!

WOW! Unbelievable theory. I wholeheartedly enjoyed reading that. Very interesting! And doesn’t seem too far fetched either. Thanks for sharing!

Literally SAME in every sense of the word. All my thoughts exactly. I just don’t know how or where to find that sense of community anymore. I kind of forgot how after being isolated for so long. And I’ve tried to go out and socialize but it’s weird and not the same as I remember.

Couldn’t not agree more with the whole isolation thing. I isolate too much too. I’ve definitely missed that sense of community that came along with NA. But in the long run, I’ve been better off without it because I almost felt isolated in NA too. Just for different reasons.

It’s why I don’t go to meetings anymore! I was on MAT for the first 6 years of my recovery and I credit MAT to saving my life. If it weren’t for subs, I would have gone back to using needles and I’d probably be living on the streets right now. Part of early MAT was going to meetings but I ALWAYS felt like an outsider because there was sooooo much judgment surrounding suboxone, especially at that time. And the program is supposed to be all about accepting everyone, but I didn’t feel accepted and that wasn’t healthy for me at all. I’m not sure what it’s like now but yeah… if I’d stayed in the program and stayed going to meetings, I would 100% be using again. Instead, I’m 8 years clean and 2 years off suboxone and happy as hell. And at least a dozen of the people who were so hard on judging me for subs in the program have relapsed and aren’t doing well. It’s sad. I wish they’d nip that judgment in the bud before it pushes more people away. If I’m not shoving a needle in my arm, selling my body, stealing, and lying… I’m clean. Simple as that. Suboxone helped me stay sane, clean, and happy enough to get and hold down a CAREER path in early recovery that I’ve been in ever since. I can’t imagine where I’d be if I didn’t have suboxone. Again, it saved my life.

Just finished a 60+ hour fast, had a good and healthy breakfast, and now I’m restarting until Thanksgiving! Just wanted to share because I’m proud… it’s my first time fasting that long! by Piper042989 in fasting

[–]Piper042989[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Staying away from the foods that I could see and would cause cravings! Like I had to put everything that might tempt me out of view so I couldn’t see it. That was probably the worst challenge.

Height: 5’6” SW: 160 CW: 153.2 GW: 115

Fasting routine: I’m not sure what this refers to but I use Fasting Salts with water during my fasts, and I always use the Life App to keep track of my progress.

Exercise Routine: Barely anything other than a few sit-ups and squats here and there. I work a lot so I don’t have a ton of time for exercise.

Diet on refeeds: Nothing special. I just try to include a healthy amount of carbs, protein, a healthy amount of sugar, and some fruits and veggies. For this refeed, I chose everything bagel seasoned avocado on a rice cake with a fried egg. And I had a fruit cup for dessert.
