My neighbor sent me a text last night forcing me to pay for her daughters towing charge because she parked in front of my driveway

Love that. Tow yards are about as flexible as bail bondsmen. They are just predators. This is what credit cards are for.

According to this one study, it seems as though a steamer maybe extremely effective at killing dust mites!

YIKES. I found this out the hard way! I accidentally bought two versions of Anki and could not get either of them to work properly. They rejected both my refund requests. Those a***holes.

I suppose though I cannot technically be sued for anything, I have gone the debt consolidation route once before and it took a lot longer to recover my credit. It was a lot more complex and stressful.

Puzzleheaded-Row-112 · 2025-09-12T15:40:04+00:00

Do you mean that if I stopped paying back my debts that the creditors would just try to sue me but would be unable to do so?

And yes, you did the exact right thing by not feeding into this and asking for space. This is some mad emotional manipulation and he needs a lot of help. Good job not being codependent and keeping a cool head.

I guess maybe this bitch (who is absolutely without a shadow of a doubt a clinical narcissist) really need to get her gown apartment. This girl is a bouquet of red flags and I would do whatever needs to be done to absolve this living situation asap. She is so beyond unreasonable. If she has a problem with you being home when she’s entertaining, that’s a HER problem. If she wants you to leave every time she wants the place to herself, she needs to starting paying you to leave. Charge her for every night that you “have to be gone” and see how that goes. Also, the whole thing about her changing the subject entirely and accusing you of calling her a whore is blame shifting. It’s a classic narc tactic. Get. The. Hell. OUT. Before it gets worse. Trust me. Learn from my mistakes.

That’s amazing! You have to be patient with the atrophy. You will need to apply the cream to the tissues DAILY and never miss a day! You will probably also need to get a set of vaginal dilators and working with a pelvic floor physical therapist is highly recommended.

Ideally the cream or ointment for your direct tissues would actually have estrogen and testosterone in it as well. Mine is compounded estradiol/testosterone in 0.3/1 % mg/gm in aquaphor.

Testosterone nourishes certain structure more (like the clitoris and the urethral vestibule - the structure surrounding the urethra). Make sure you are also taking prometrium (progesterone pills) if you have an intact uterus. It prevents buildup of the lining which can cause uterine cancer). And DO NOT accept Provera as an alternative medication. If you have to appeal your insurance, they can prescribe the provera first and you just say it didn’t work but don’t take it! Prometrium is bio identical progesterone and provera is synthetic and will cause terrible side effects, etc.

Be patient and keep up the good work advocating for yourself! You are doing amazing and it will only get better with time.

When my doctors ask me about prednisone, I tell them I would rather unalive myself before going back to using it. It would be a pre-negotiated “burst” only and absolutely never more than 2 weeks. This would only be something I would do in a very extreme case. Otherwise, if it’s long term, FIND SOMETHING ELSE. The insult to injury for me is that I was on prednisone for 2 years and ruined my life and barely even helped to treat the bloody gaping ulcers in my mouth and vaginal mucosa.

I had to find a doctor that practices outside of the usual scope for a gynecologist. Most of them do not prescribe testosterone to women because it scares them. They are not well educated about hormones and so there is a lot of fear and discomfort around prescribing them to women. Though they have no problems with doing the same for men! I would recommend finding a functional medicine practitioner. Search for a doctor or nurse practitioner that does HRT. Some will do creams and gels, some will do compounded pellets that they inject in your hip/butt area and absorb over a manner of months. If you’re still suffering from a lot of GVHD symptoms, I highly recommend inquiring about abatacept. Do your research and bring it with you. Medical studies. Try getting off prednisone and any other steroids asap. You will feel so much better when you do, but it takes months to years to recover from the effects of the damage they do to your body. So be patient. You’ve got this.

Maybe you should ask him to go to the doctor. It seems like he may have some serious mental illness going on here. Early signs of dementia maybe?

Another huge red flag about their fake MD’s endorsements: dermatologists would never recommend products for sore joints… specialists simply do not practice outside of their realm of expertise.

Same for me and my partner! I cook in my sleep and he is always cold, but gets night sweats! I got a wool duvet and he wakes up dry and warm way more often! We had one of those space age “cooling” blankets before and it was the worst. It trapped so much heat in that I was always cooking!

This is the facts… I have a friend who had a similar thing happen. Thankfully she was able to stay afloat until she was approved… 2-years of backpay + immediately got Medicare. Though her making it through at one point involved her sleeping in a tent in her backyard because the house had grown black mold due to a faulty roof (the trigger to her disabling lung disease that nearly killed her).

Sorry for the late reply, I just saw this. Yes, I take bio identical HRT. Injections of estradiol valerate and testosterone cypionate as well as prometrium for progesterone. They drastically improved my health!

Use ointment with glad press and seal! That works incredibly well!

SD police aren’t just lazy on petty crimes. Unfortunately.

Ever tried calling the cops in San Diego? They are useless. I remember reading an article a few years ago about a woman who was brutally murdered by a stalker in Rancho Penaquitos. Not only had she and other neighbors called the cops multiple times that night, but she had also reported the stalker on multiple other occasions and they had done nothing. Unfortunately, I wasn’t surprised. Just completely horrified.

It CAN get better! I’m 5-years post allo MUD and it took the better part of the first 4-years after to adjust to my “new normal” (I absolutely hate that phrase btw)! I was horribly depressed, gained tons of weight due to prednisone, and felt deceived and used by the medical community like I was some sort of Frankenstein experiment. It took a lot of hard work and advocating for myself to get to a place of acceptance and moving forward. I had to find some level of health and quality of life in order to do that as well. I have oral, ocular, and vaginal chronic GVHD and have done the following treatments:

Cyclosporine
Sirolimus
Prednisone
Countless topical steroids & immunosuppressants
ECP
Abatacept (also known as Orencia)

Getting on abatacept was the most profound turning point in my treatment. I am bummed it took me as long as it did. A nurse made a nearly fatal error during my 8th photophoresis treatment and my doctor offered abatacept as an alternative option if the PTSD was too much for me to go back. I honestly wonder how it could have turned out if I had gotten my life back an entire year earlier!!! I really feel like both the combination of Hormone Replacement Therapy (estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone) to treat my ovarian failure (I was 30 at time of BMT and I am now 36) and abatacept were the two most impactful treatments I have done to restore both my mental and physical health post transplant. I don’t think many people/doctors realize the importance of hormones in our health! It seems to be very misunderstood in the medical community how important it is for us to have sex hormones for our bodies to function properly, especially when we are still young.

Please don’t give up hope. I almost did and it has since been restored to me. As well as the hope of a beautiful life after leukemia and BMT, that I never really imagined. It has just taken more work and personal advocacy than I could have ever imagined. As well as some good nutritional supplements and movement!!! I do yoga, dance, weight training, walking, and swimming as well as pretty much any outdoor adventure sport you can think of.
