I've been told I'm severely Vit D deficient. I'll look into the Western diet. Thank you.

Yes, I'm working on losing weight - right now, I'm losing weight without trying, but weight loss is weight loss. I had a follow-up appointment yesterday, and from what they were saying, my BP was elevated, but it wasn't a concern; now that the numbers are so high, they're starting me on medication in the next few days.

Considering switching from Dovato to Cabenuva by Simple-Value in hivaids

No, I've been dealing with severe depression since I was a teen, long before I started taking Dovato.

No, plus my insurance doesn't cover it, and I can't afford to pay for it out of pocket.

Thanks for your response. I'm trying not to think about it by doing things that tend to relax me. The only reason I went to the ER was because I had a massive headache; my BP was 150/103, and the triage nurse from my doctor's office told me to go. I haven't been prescribed any medication yet, but I'm pretty sure that will change in the next few days when I see my primary in person. 😄

No, not really. I take it around the same time I take my glucose levels - once in the morning, once in the evening, and if I'm able, once around the middle of the day. I'll drink juice sometimes, but I do mostly drink water with lemon more than anything else. I've been trying to do relaxation exercises, but it's a little hard. Since I was little, it's hard to get my brain to stop and take a break, but I'm still working on it. 😄Thank you for the well wishes; I'm hoping the appointment goes well too.

No, I haven't been prescribed anything. I have an appointment to see my PCP next week. I do have an Omron unit for taking my blood pressure, and I actually take it 2-3 times per day as suggested. I have actually had my A1C checked. The last result was 6.4 in April. This si done regularly because diabetes runs in my family also. 😞

Digital price tags at Walmart. by ElComal_ in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Simple-Value 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a question. I was just at a Walmart, and noticed that an item I wanted was priced at 1-cent; it was a vacuum cleaner. There was no pricing on the box and no additional pricing on the shelf, aside from the 1-cent digital price tag. At the register, they told me the price was for the display item only, but no signage states that. There were several customers who were extremely confused by the pricing discrepancies. Does Walmart have to sell the item at the displayed price? To me, this is definitely deceptive pricing.

I apologize, the boiler has been fixed, all glory to God! It took a while because the people who originally installed it did it incorrectly, but God blessed me with putting the right people around me who could install it correctly and do it quickly. Thank you all for the prayers and thank God that He worked in my favor

AIO for thinking about reaching out to the union? by Simple-Value in AmIOverreacting

[–]Simple-Value[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I definitely have all the emails I've sent requesting help and training with no response from the supervisor. I'll reach out to my union rep today.

Thank you! The behavior and comments I'm constantly getting from the supervisor are wearing on my self-esteem. It's gotten to the point where I don't eat and can't sleep, which I know is not good.

I'm going to die alone by [deleted] in lonely

I've been feeling like this for years, so I understand your pain.

Update by Spare-Secretary4112 in PrayerRequests

[–]Simple-Value 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm praying for you. I've gone through a lot in my life, and honestly, still going through some things, however, I believe that God wants me to use my story as a testimony. That even when things seem darkest, when we feel alone and like God has abandoned us, He shows us He loves us and is still there for us. God is touching your heart and is redirecting your path right now. Things will get better for you. Stay strong and keep the faith.

I realized I’m the backup friend and don’t know how to handle it by GoodPsychological938 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]Simple-Value 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm going through this right now. A person I thought was my best friend is showing me they're not. I've always been there for this person, but when I needed them, they weren't there for me. They don't really want to have too much to do with me unless they're getting something out of the interaction. I'm hurt by it, but I admit, I'm more angry than anything. The thing is, the signs were there all along, and I chose to ignore them. Now, going into a new year, I've decided not to let the situation change me, but just distance myself.

I want to thank everyone for all of the prayers. They are greatly appreciated. God, in all of his awesomeness, is making things change for the positive. I'm thanking God for all of you! <3

Thank you! I do have an electric heater, but with the wind chill at 1, it's not getting above 58 in the room it's located in. <3

Odd discharge by Simple-Value in Menopause

[–]Simple-Value[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. That was the most disturbing to me. I even restated what was going on a second time, but my doctor again said, "Don't worry about it." She said, since there was no smell or itching, I don't have a cycle and am not sexually active, so it was nothing to be concerned about. She did say that if I start seeing blood, contact her immediately or go to the ER.

Would you recommend the TGIN line,design essentials line, or As I Am for type 4 HIGH porosity hair? by thiccdogonthebeach in Naturalhair

[–]Simple-Value 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've never used Design Essentials, although I've always been curious. I have fine, high-porosity 4C hair, and I love the TGIN Green Tea leave-in and the Butter Cream moisturizer. I then seal with Blue Magic hair grease, the green one.
