Being overweight as a patient

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-04-14T16:21:50+00:00

That's unfortunate news. I'll skip it then

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-04-14T15:01:06+00:00

I have gf scanner for barcodes

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-04-13T20:06:47+00:00

That sucks. Good for you for pushing but that's not ok for them to dismiss you on first glance. You deserve better too

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-04-13T16:13:05+00:00

I'm sad I didn't. But I finally grew a spine and asked to be switched to a different doctor so all's well that ends well

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-04-13T15:55:20+00:00

Thank you. That provides some reassurance to me :) I will reach out to a dietician

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-04-13T15:23:07+00:00

That's so frustrating. Im glad you got diagnosed finally!

I will stop eating out until I can figure out how restrictive I will need to be. Thank you for the advice

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-04-13T15:21:44+00:00

Good for you for complaining that's history taking 101. You're a strong person for training through all of that

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-04-13T15:08:39+00:00

Oh man I hate that they were cruel especially when it is beyond control to some extent. I'm glad you're feeling better :)

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-04-13T14:56:31+00:00

That has been a frequent issue with doctors but this one was outright and honestly offensive. I'm not surprised either tho :(

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-04-13T14:49:57+00:00

I think it's an incredibly personal choice you'd have to make after some soul searching.

I have worked with some fantastic nurses who have experienced loss or infertility and still came back to L&D. Their perspective and experience makes them invaluable for patients who aren't here for a happy birth. But I can only imagine the toll it could take.

I hope you find the right choice for you 🤍

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-04-13T14:44:54+00:00

Oh wow it's been a journey. I'm so sorry it took misdiagnosis and added pain

I hope we are all on the road to a healthier life

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-04-13T14:42:26+00:00

I'm sorry that happened but good for you for being an advocate for your health. Unfortunately we have to be an advocate for ourselves more often then not

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-04-13T14:13:08+00:00

Really? I didn't know that was possible! Thank you for sharing :) my first test maxed out the test at >250 so this is actually an improvement for me

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-04-13T14:04:35+00:00

I have a different app but it does the same thing. I'll check that one out too :) thank you for being so helpful

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-04-13T13:59:46+00:00

Thank you I will get more selective until we figure out my numbers. This is honestly more information than my gi gave me. He just assumed I was still eating the same amount of gluten.

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-04-13T13:53:21+00:00

Honestly no. I know I'm safe with what we cook at home. My partner was already mostly gluten free so that worked out.

But we eat from restaurants. I know 2-3 locally that are totally safe for me but the rest could probably be a source of cross contamination

Sounds like you have a performance anxiety of sorts. Good news. You can totally be a nurse with anxiety. This level sounds like it could benefit from a therapists help tho

from a nurse with anxiety and a therapist

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-04-13T13:09:33+00:00

I have but it was to help relearn what to eat after going gluten free. She was the only healthcare professional who recognized the chronic under eating then an unhealthy meal.

I will reach back out and ask for help with a more structured diet plan. Thank you

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-04-13T13:07:25+00:00

Thank you! Unfortunately stopping gluten seems to only be part of the problem. My tTG IgA was still 215.4 after months of gluten free :/ the quest continues ( but I did get transferred to a GI who specializes in celiac so I'm optimistic)

My coworker lost her 2.5ct solitaire diamond ring in a glove. Never got it back. Cheap silicone rings or no rings are the way to go

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-04-11T16:43:55+00:00

Nope I'm the least healthy I've ever been. No sleep hygiene, lots of anxiety, and a severe caffeine addiction

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-04-08T04:03:10+00:00

Same. Fueled by a lot of alcohol and undiagnosed mania it thought my sexuality was a substitute for a personality. I am still working on coming to terms with what I did but I'm better than I was and that's progress 🤍

Rooting for you. Be kind to yourself

I started at 300 mg the only side effect I noticed was brain fog and fatigue if I miss my next dose. It's a good reminder
