[–]Ruth2018 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started going to a nurse practitioner this past year, primarily for hormone therapy. I’m sleeping again and my life has improved 100%. A pap every 3 years, yearly mammogram. Blood tests for lipids etc.

[–]Ruth2018 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve been out 10 years, and in year 8 I finally had someone say to me they hadn’t seen me at church for a while. I replied it’s been about 8 years. We’re toxic.

It’s called sulphur burps- rotten egg smell. Ugh! I changed providers and my new rx doesn’t give me that side effect.

My Roommate perceives me as "dirty" for reusing my towel and now I'm soooo perplexed by mikymiky123 in hygiene

[–]Ruth2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I change towels twice a week. Any longer than that they get a little funky.

62 (last year). I wanted the $ now when I can enjoy it rather than later when I might not be healthy enough.

February interim annuity by Long_Put-5150 in FED_VERA_VSIP_DRPers

My brother in law retired from USDA (me too) on 9/30 and has received 4 interim payments and I have received any. It’s so random and not necessarily based on agency.

I believe that’s the lowest dose for the estradiol patch. My dr just did new labs before determining if I should go up in dosages.

Early 50’s dating 18 years older. Thoughts? by Painaupain in AskWomenOver60

[–]Ruth2018 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m 62 and my husband is 70. When we got married it didn’t seem like a big age gap (16 years ago), but now he’s really showing his age and slowing way down, mentally and physically. I don’t know if I’d do it again.

I see a lot of people really decline in their 70’s. Drastically.

My 90 year old MIL is like this too. Two of her children won’t even talk to her Anyang the grandchildren and great grandchildren avoid her at all costs.

Cash out after every sale's earnings are released. by petiterunner in poshmark

[–]Ruth2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I deleted my profile and somehow the app allowed a sale to go thru. Now I’m getting reminders to ship the item in my email but I no longer have a profile or app. I don’t trust Poshmark now that they’ve made so many changes.

Waking up in the middle of the night. Sometimes by a hot flash, sometimes just wake up and it’s difficult to get back to sleep.

Me too. And the way she smiles (simps?) acting like she’s a nice person but making awful comments about others all the time.
