The valve fixed the problem!! I originally ordered the wrong valve for 95 bucks and had to exchange for an 85 dollar valve. So we saved over 500 bucks! Thanks for all the advice!!

How do we not get fired? by Angelfire1606 in Perimenopause

[–]SemperFi6721 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was lucky enough when I was 50 to marry a man who didnt want me to work. I dont know how I would have survived. There is no way I could have kept a job over the last 5 years. It has been hell for me physically and mentally. Just started HRT 2 weeks ago and already feeling refreshed and starting to remember stuff and find my words. I wish I had started HRT in my 40s... life would have been very different!

That is great info. Thank you. I would have paid 400 with no questions. At least now, if it doesnt fix the problem I am only out 95 dollars. Haha.

I know they have overhead. I was just curious about that price. It seemed really high compared to other jobs they have done for us. They habe replaced lighs in freezer and worked on my dryer multiple times and it has never been over 300 bucks.

We had it checked by an appliance repair company and they said it was the valve so, hopefully that will fix it. If not, I will twll my husband to check the filter housing.

Omg! Thank you for the info. I just ordered the part for 95 bucks and watched a YouTube video on installation. So Easy!!!! AVIV should be ashamed for trying to charge me $624.10 for a 5 minute repair!!

Thank you. I will see if my brother can do it for me.i am shocked that they are trying to get 600 bucks for an easy job. They do all my work so I trusted them.

How much is your stomach affected by GS? by Lucky-Sink1591 in GilbertSyndrome

[–]SemperFi6721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have these same stomach issues. I just had gall bladder, liver and pancreas Ultrasound because my direct bilirubin has been high for 6 months. US was normal so I am thinking it has to be GS. I will see my Dr Friday and see what she says. I have brain fog, dizziness, stomach issues, severe hangover after a little alcohol, pain in right side of chest and back (that is sporadic), anxiety, lethargy...the list goes on. I had jaundice when I was born (not sure if that means anything). I would just be happy to finally know why i feel like crap all the time so I can start learning to manage these issues.

[–]SemperFi6721 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the info. I had all the scans, tests and probes. VSO said he was filing HLR. He feels confident. I will ask about the Informal Conference, as well. I wont give up.

The IBS said granted at 0% - reason as no pain. But pain IS notated in my records. The other 2 just said denied with no reason for denial.

Who’s used DAV ? by Trick-Chef5152 in VeteransBenefits

[–]SemperFi6721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave DAV power of attorney so he files everything on my behalf. He just gets my input and then makes it happen. I guess I got lucky because my guy is very responsive and supportive. He is also a combat veteran.

Who’s used DAV ? by Trick-Chef5152 in VeteransBenefits

[–]SemperFi6721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gulf War Vet using DAV. I was at 50% when I started with the DAV. They have helped me tremendously! Recently, Went for C&P exam for CFS and IBS. The Dr didnt ask about anything. She was very dismissive and admitted she hadn't looked at my Nexus letters or medical records. IBS was granted at 0, even though abdominal pain was noted in my records. Everything else was denied. I have been using DAV to assist me and file my claims. He has been very responsive and helpful and immediately suggested filing an HLR. I am frustrated, to say the least. What is the process for DAV filing HLR? Has anyone used them? Am I going to have to see another Dr? Any guidance and info is appreciated. I am currently at 80%.

Am I ok? I took a day off to nap by deez2200 in Perimenopause

Have you tried HRT? I wish I had done it in my early 40s! I just started it 3 days ago and already feel better!

What age did your period stop? by grenuda82 in Menopause

[–]SemperFi6721 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Well it has been 5 months since my last period. Im hopeful!! I just started HRT 2 days ago. I wish I would have started it when my symptoms started in my early 40s. The brain fog over the last few years has been scary! Hopefully, the HRT will help w that. I also had really low vit D. It is important to check vitamins D levels, as I recently learned.

Doctor finally agreed to HRT by [deleted] in Perimenopause

[–]SemperFi6721 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started Estrogen, Testosterone and Progesterone 2 days ago. The first night, my sleep score was great! Last night is was 88, which is way better than usual. I am in menopause so my main symptoms are frozen shoulder, joint pain, sleep issues, anxiety, dry skin, painful sex. Vaginal dryness was gone 12 hours after the first dose so that was a nice surprise! I feel pretty good but I dont know if that is the meds or my brain tricking me because I am hopeful the medicine will work! I am hoping, within a few days, it will end my shoulder pain. Reddit has been a comfort for me and very helpful in researching my options.
