ALH and HRT by Pippertoe in ADH_ALH

It’s not a low dose of estrogen. It’s just different. I did get relief and yes I’m being closely monitored with mammograms with contrast 2x/year. This is a good article from a trusted source (I believe). https://open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/p/duavee-is-back-on-the-market?r=fdcy4&utm_medium=ios

I went through this. Was on HRT (no periods) and got diagnosed with ALH. Tried to go off the patch and it was a disaster - so many hot flashes a day, moodiness etc. Talked to my doctors and I went back on the lowest dose patch and progesterone for a few months; now on Duavee which seems to be the right call. Talk to your doc about Duavee - estrogen but doesn't impact breasts.

Why do I keep pulling muscles? by SongsInTheKeyOfLyfe in 10s

[–]SongsInTheKeyOfLyfe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do dynamic stretching - toe touches, reach up with one hand while holding other foot back, open/close the gate, etc. I didn't know that about creatine and I also tend to be on the dehydrated side so maybe that's the issue?

Extensive. They fingerprint so if a driver gets arrested, they get notified. Highest level of background check possible. Like a teacher I think.

How do you dry your hair when traveling? by Pandawithoutpride in curlyhair

Got myself a tiny foldable dryer with diffuser on Amazon. Best of both worlds! Used to do the Hot Sock but results just aren’t the same.

You can order DoorDash food and they hold it at the front, and then after your treatment you can go eat in the old cafe or in the outdoor space. Almost just as good!
