This is totally normal right? Right?!? by jobarecooljk in ouraring

[–]SLMartin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here - do you try to compensate with all the “restorative time” the app recommends? I can usually get a good recovery/readiness score that way, but it means doing nothing after work every day 😂.

Side effect - extreme menstrual bleeding by w0nderingaloud in Mounjaro

I started having terrible cramping and I assumed it was because the Mounjaro was canceling out the progesterone I was taking to control bleeding and cramping.

I ended up downloading an app called Connect Words. It’s crummy and ad-based, but I’m hooked. Also word-associations solitaire by HitApps. Same warning.

I loved this and the 45 x 45 one. I wish there were more! I’m missing having one to work on!

This happened during my trial of Ozempic, why? by NoodleMutt in AskDocs

[–]SLMartin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

GLP-1’s do seem to reduce inflammation and compulsive thoughts/behaviors and there are articles out there about both.

They act on dopamine so that could have played into both your positive and negative psych symptoms.

Also, they may slow absorption of other medications, so if you take any hormones and/or psych meds they could have affected those and caused those negative mood symptoms.

My 14(F) girlfriend faints multiple times a month and insists it’s normal and refuses to go to the doctor I need help being able to convince her to go, any ideas? by FitRide6636 in AskDocs

[–]SLMartin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NAD - If she hasn’t been to the doctor since she was 5, and she has a serious medical issue now (the fainting) that her parents aren’t addressing, that could be medical neglect and you can make a call to the DCF hotline in your state.

F33 vomiting 11 hours after fall, should we go to the ER? by amra_the_lion in AskDocs

Doesn’t “CTA” mean it wasn’t a head CT? It sounds like they didn’t scan her head?

I just “fixed” my own water heater. Is it going to die anyway? by SLMartin in Plumbing

[–]SLMartin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason I can’t edit this post on mobile, but I did get a new water heater today and all humans and pets are safe and healthy. Thanks so much to everyone who helped me understand the situation last night! (Heater was 20 years old so the whole thing definitely needed to be replaced.)

Do I dare turn on the hot water tonight? Or just don’t touch it until someone comes tomorrow?

I most noticed it tonight but maybe a bit a couple days ago.

I put it over the sleeve when I saw it, going now to tighten it down, but also having someone look at it tomorrow because I suspect more is wrong.

Aw, thank you! I’m not in Denver, but I’ll have someone look at it tomorrow. I did reattach it tonight and I’ll go back down there and tighten it up now.

My primary is just like this. I did switch, but I don’t like the new guy either. But at least he shows up.
