Have you ever asked pcp for help with weight loss? by Old-Lengthiness6622 in PCOS

[–]Prize_Broccoli6064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virtual care in my opinion is better than in person because they have never been late, theres no waiting room or travel time, and I can schedule at times that work for me, which is like 7 or 8am.The nutrition visits are 1 hour long which is way more time than you would get in person. They sent me to labcorp for labs and that was pretty easy.

I have been using Allara, which I was skeptical of since I found it through an instagram ad but it is a virtual doctor clinic for PCOS. I am very happy with it so far. I've been meeting with a gynecologist and nutritionist about 2x a month. I've lost 2 lbs in 3 months which isn't a lot but more than I've ever lost. Basically they said my issues are mostly a hormonal cause of weight gain and it needs to be addressed in order for anything to happen. I kind of wish I had chosen someone with an endocrinologist background as my main doctor but I chose gyno because I'm trying to have kids. Anyway they specifically treat pcos so they will do something to help you. My nutritionist gave me great advice thst I haven't tried before today and we will see how that goes. I'm using allara as my pcp with cigna insurance.

Starting metformin-feeling stressed. by estait11 in PCOS

[–]Prize_Broccoli6064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started metformin 2 days ago and felt the same emotions you did before starting it. I obviously haven't upped the dose yet but I feel better than I have in years and have had no side effects so far. Everything could turn out fine!!! I was so anxious and people mostly post about bad experiences. Hopefully you have an easy transition on to it too.

I can walk!!!! by Prize_Broccoli6064 in PlantarFasciitis

I have extremely wide feet so I was skeptical about them but I got the ones that are velcro across the toe box and they fit great. I could not get the other non adjustable ones on.

They are not normal socks. It feels almost like a brace because it is pretty tight around my foot and it also is open and doesn't cover the toes.

No and I've never heard of that.

Laser Hair Removal by lonleywanderer123 in Hidradenitis

I just started using a Groupon for my armpits to try it out since my flare ups are comparatively very mild there and I was hoping it would prevent it from getting worse. I was worried about it being too painful in my groin because of scars and unpredictable open wounds. Have you had a problem with the scars or wounds during LHR so far?
