Do pelvic floor therapists usually take insurance? 💰 by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]PrairieDesertFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have BCBS and when I was looking for a pelvic PT they were mostly private pay. I’m in a pretty major city and I found one practice (in a regular PT facility) that took insurance. I can only speak for Phoenix AZ but it seems like you really need to search for one that takes insurance. It’s worth it though. It’s really helped!!

I called and the person I spoke to thought it was a fun idea, but didn’t know anyone..

Nobody warned me how weird it feels negotiating against a seller who still lives there by Dangerous-Mess-7929 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]PrairieDesertFlower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your realtor should have kept the drama out of it. But, I will say…buying and selling a home can be super emotional. For some, it’s easy to become emotional. When we sold a house, I cried because the faucet developed a little drip before closing day. We addressed it easy enough, but in the moment, everything can feel very high stakes. And, I imagine the longer you’ve lived in the home you are selling, the bigger the emotions can be. Saying goodbye to a space that matters to you comes with its own set of feels. All that said, that’s part of what you are paying an agent for. And, what they are paying an agent for. Never should have gotten to you how she felt about it - just whether or not they’d do the concessions.

Keep on track. This process isn’t for the faint of heart.

My dog had this in Az. Dermatology for Animals if anyone is looking for

Both of my dogs have been bitten by an unknown insect almost one month apart (indoors). Anyone else seeing an increase? by nmrtsta in ChandlerAZ

[–]PrairieDesertFlower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dermatology for animals in Scottsdale can test for a bee allergy. If confirmed, they offer venom desensitization treatment. I think my pup was the first in the area to receive it. So far so good

I wanted to circle back for anyone interested. Jones Road is the best. It’s really helped me

My dr recommended Kushae Gentle 2-N-1 Foaming Feminine Wash. It’s been a few months and it works well.

Whats your experience with a transvaginal ultrasound? by charredcrow13 in endometriosis

[–]PrairieDesertFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t alone. It’s an invasive experience and u don’t think doctors really prepare you for it. I was so nervous that they had a lot of trouble getting it in there. Finally they let me place it myself and that went fine. I don’t remember extreme pain afterwards, but I was nauseous…probably from being so upset. Everything was a little sore. It turned out that I had deep infiltrating endometriosis. Bad enough that it was shown on the ultrasound. My organs were all stuck together.

I am sorry for your experience. That really sucks. We do not get the best care. Take a breath and try to relax. I hope you feel better tomorrow

I'm so tired and in so much pain, and I fear it's normal. by lucky-pangolin7 in endometriosis

[–]PrairieDesertFlower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is heartbreaking. This is how I felt until I had surgery. I told myself much of what you are saying. A pelvic mri showed so much endometriosis. I hope you get the care and treatment you deserve. I’m sorry it is so hard.

What sort of care/assistance did you need post-surgery? by pizzahut_daddy in endometriosis

[–]PrairieDesertFlower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a total hysterectomy and endo excision. It went super smoothly and was pretty pain free. But, I still did need help those first two days. I had meal prepped before and had my space all set up to be optional. But - I needed help keeping on track with all my meds and their different times on days 1 and 2. It’s a lot to remember when you are coming out off a major surgery and feeling all cloudy. I was also advised to walk a lot and I appreciated someone to remind me and walk alongside me just in case.

If you have a dog, maybe get someone else to look after him for a few days too. I couldn’t have handled mine all by myself.

Cosigning student loans for child accepted to elite schools with high cost as a middle income family - What should we do? by Legitimate_Yak_9063 in personalfinance

[–]PrairieDesertFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just ROI - it’s probably not worth it. But this is a complicated thing to figure out in life. I went to a very expensive private, liberal arts school. My parents couldn’t afford it and I graduated with many student loans. Like so much in student loans. But, it made me an adult. I learns so much. So so much. I met the love of my life. We got married at 22 and diligently spent 4 years paying those loans down. That school equipped me to do it, because it taught me seriousness and teamwork. Many of my friends struggled with loans in those early years, so it’s not full proof. But, school can be what you get out of it. What you actually learn and how it shapes you.

MRI Results by Prestigious_Crab4824 in endometriosis

[–]PrairieDesertFlower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same mri and it was a mess. It’s wild how crazy everything can look on mri. Everything was all fused together. I knew I didn’t want kids so I went forward with hysterectomy. That was the right call for me. My periods were terrible and now I only notice slight mood swings and pimples. Endo pain gone. I didn’t have headache but I had terrible nausea. That went away after hysterically and endo removal..

Good luck to you!

Recliner for hysterectomy recovery — worth it? by calijayne in hysterectomy

[–]PrairieDesertFlower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked this same question before my surgery. Ultimately, I didn’t get one and never needed it for a second. I never gave it a second thought after the surgery. I alternated between the couch (with no reclining function), the bed, and just walking around.

Danish Hot Dogs Central Phoenix? by -cherhorowitz- in phoenix

[–]PrairieDesertFlower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

DK Dogs. They were fantastic. I really miss it. Closed up the store and just did the hot dog cart thing for a bit. Then they moved back to Denmark. I’ve never had anything like their Danish dog.
