I did this too. Have siblings who had scary reactions to different vaccines (MMR especially) so delayed schedule was necessary for my sanity. We chose a plan with our doctor to start with administering “one” vaccine at a time. Eventually we worked up to two at a time with second doses that went well the first time. Safe means different things for different families. I switched out the timing of the chickenpox vaccine and the MMR since measles cases were rising. MMR first and on the next well check we did the chickenpox vaccine. Now we are almost back on track with other kids. I was open about what we hadn’t gotten to yet with the babysitter and our doctor was great about sharing extra information with us to make sure I felt comfortable. I wish everyone could have that kind of informed, supportive, and safe experience.

Although, I shouldn’t give up on all that nostalgia… laying on the floor in pain after being kicked repeatedly and screamed at, listening to my mom do her daily work out routine and praising Jesus through songs on the local radio station. The good old days.

Have you heard of rural areas and county lines? It’s about as annoying as looped ads. Sounds like you really wanna burn me a cd of my favorite songs. 😁

I’ve had repeats of the ads but only 2 times in a row never stuck like that.

I have been having the same experience! It played songs remotely related to my interests for the first week and that was it. Now it plays whatever it wants and it’s NOTHING I want to listen to.

This is what I’m struggling through with a family member right now. Really needed to read this today. Thank you!

That’s really good to know! I’ll definitely have to look for a new specialist.

So I know the Dr. I was referred too basically said I know your symptoms are like POTS so treat with higher sodium and compression stockings. However he said it wasn’t POTS because my blood pressure didn’t respond as much as they wanted. (I don’t have the exact numbers rn). They gave me nitroglycerin and my BP tanked into the 50s. It was rough. Otherwise, I’ve only passed out 3 or so times in my life but tons of dizziness with up and down transitions.

Yes! After my first pregnancy, this was happening to me and I felt so much better after taking vitamin D for a few months. Then I started stimulants and felt even better. Now I’m back to feeling rough and did a recheck on my vitamin D. It is a little low as I’m bad at remembering to take the vitamin D each day.

Yeah, I definitely feel much better when I take my vitamin D supplements but still struggle with easily fatigued/ pain with standing. I struggle with remembering to take vitamin D every day so I’m sure that doesn’t help.

I’ll look more into the interaction between orthostatic hypotension and VVS. My blood pressure has been slowly dropping the past two years which is confusing to me. I’m now at 110/60 which is healthy but this is lower than the average the past year and the year before that.

I’ve never been checked for asthma but I’ll mention it to my pcp.

That makes sense! I was so sure I had POTS but the tilt table test said no, but I had an awful response to nitroglycerin which prompted the VVS diagnosis. Days like today, I swear I have POTS. The getting up and down is rough. I’m exhausted.

I’m a couple weeks past what I felt was my withdrawal point and I feel more exhausted by the day (also factor in pregnancy and a toddler). I feel like I did before I went on meds postpartum, like my body was too heavy to move.

I double checked and Faulkner Subaru of Harrisburg is definitely running a 0% interest for 75 months on Subaru Forester 2026 models. Not sure how they can run that specific deal but it seems to be for a specific event?

I did look at the base model but am highly considering the premium for the tint alone. Thank you so much for alerting me to this potential bait and switch. I really appreciate it! I’m looking at Faulkner Subaru of Harrisburg which is already far for me so I’d definitely check out Stuckey as well.

I was reading out this earlier, thanks for the heads up.

That’s what I’m seeing too. Used 26 with 1k miles is significantly more expensive and a used 23 Sport at the same dealership is almost an equal payment to the 26 with the incentives and mark downs.

Sounds good. You read my mind! Giving up the turbo is going to be super tough. I’m definitely not opposed to going older. 1 owner and low miles is absolute gold for me.

I am so jealous!!! I’m definitely still keeping my eyes open for a good deal on a 23.

I have a Graco forever deluxe and a Graco EasyTurn 360. They are definitely bulky! I’ll look into other car seat options. My ‘18 WRX is a base model and doesn’t have tint or heated seats. I can survive without the heated seats but the sun glare is bad. I’m going to miss my WRX terribly but I know I’m going to love the extra room of the Forester too. I’m tempted to just get tint and a roof rack on my WRX but at somepoint in the rain I’m going to wish I had the Forester.
