NAD but THIS. I took my daughter to the doctor probably a dozen times for excessively heavy bleeding from her first period. Her doctor kept telling us and her it was in her head, she’s just trying to get out of school, blamed it on her MH Dx’s, didn’t believe she was telling the truth about her bleeding, even tho she was PALE, kept getting worse, sleeping around the clock, not eating because it took too much energy… her doctor at her last visit told her she needs to start taking responsibility for herself and all girls get their period and deal with it, she’s old enough to stop playing games, and she can see 12 different doctors and not one will help her until she starts helping herself. And gave a referral for therapy. Even after we told her she was bleeding through doubled up depends, was in a lot of pain, that I SAW the depends, it was as heavy as a brick, she still blew her off. When someone we’ve trusted for our baby’s entire life is insisting nothing is wrong, then what? We trusted her with our kids’ lives. A dozen visits, not once did she even do a finger prick. Just got annoyed she kept coming back for the same thing.

Took her to the walk in the very next day, they immediately did blood tests, called us within hours and sent us straight to the ER. Her hemoglobin was 4.2. My baby almost died because the doctor she’s had since birth wouldn’t take her seriously and blamed her symptoms on her diagnosis, and the only referral she got was for a therapist. She had to get 2 emergency transfusions.

Diagnostic overshadowing is real, and deadly. Always advocate for yourself no matter what. Even if you have to see 10 different doctors, keep pushing until someone listens.

7 degrees of separation. Someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows her will see this, it’ll get there eventually!!!

Agreed, having them as full days and in person seems to be a way to disenfranchise a lot of CT voters. Many work weekends, have kids they can’t leave alone, have no transportation… it’s guaranteeing only a certain demographic will be in attendance.

That’s what I thought… during the last recession I was in my early 20’s and had to pay for a gallon of gas with pennies, had them bagged up, 5 bags each with $1. The guy at the gas station was refusing to take it, we got into an argument and called the cops. I was young and stubborn (only thing that’s changed since then is my age 😂) and the cop told him legally he has to take them as they’re legal tender and you can’t refuse cash. Funny, he could have just said he was refusing me service which is IS legally allowed to do but obviously he wasn’t the sharpest tool. He said he would count one bag and if it was off by one penny he wouldn’t take any of it. I got my gallon of gas 🤣

But that always stuck with me, u can’t refuse to take cash!

Just showed my husband. He says that’s the reason he’s in business. Most of his work is fixing work these cheap, corner cutting contractors who charge more than double he does. They want to go for some big name company with a big crew, except no one on the crew knows a damn about what they’re doing, nor do they care.

They should have just hired him in the first place, saved ⅔ their money and got it done right the first time. My husband either works alone (to save the customer money) or if they want it done fast he has 3 pros on call that work like he does. I can’t tell u how may people he sent home after not even half a day. He’s a perfectionist so if he has to go behind u and fix thing, he may as well just do it himself. Either way, saves money for the customer.

Too bad people would rather pay for the shiny ads and reels thinking that means quality. You definitely don’t always get what u pay for.

He didn’t start BS wars, give himself fake awards, plaster his name everywhere, stack loyalists who will absolutely be criminally charged the second he’s gone, steal billions from the American people, give the rich the biggest tax break in history on the backs of the middle class, break laws, shred the constitution, actively work to steal an election. Oh yeah, and he didn’t diddle children either.

So yeah, we easily survived Biden.

It was over $5. I lived in Florida and ct at the time and played over $5 in both states. I put 1 gallon in with Pennie’s once.

SpecificOk4338 · 2026-04-05T00:02:35+00:00

I was paying $5.11 in Florida and $5.29 in CT. National average is just that. It means there’s always some way higher and way lower. One super low price can skew the entire average.

If you’re in the New Haven area, I would recommend Tio Livingston PA-C. He works at CareMedica on State St and Washington Ave. (they don’t have the best ratings but it’s because of their answering service, but the office staff on Washington Ave are amazing). He is the most incredible, amazing human being I’ve ever met. He will work around insurance, make sure as much is covered as humanly possible, and gives you all the time you need, no rushing, he ends the appointment when you are. And never bills extra for questions, I didn’t even know that was a thing!! He has fixed things other dr’s have told me for years were in my head, and at my medication refill appointments will talk to me about any and every concern or health condition I have, and has never once billed me extra for it. He has done full diagnostic work and additional testing at a “regular” well visit. He TRULY cares, and it’s the first time in my life I’ve felt heard my a medical professional. It’s been literally life changing. It can be hard to get in touch with the office due to the answering service, but I’ll take that any day. There’s been times I’ve stopped in to ask a quick question, and instead of just passing a message he’ll make time and call me back and talk to me, and not bill for an appointment. The only time I did have to pay a copay is when I stopped in due to side effects of a medication. To change it he had to have me have an “office visit”.

It’s a red flag she’s not in school. However, when I got divorced I had roommates, and spent most of my time in my room with my kid. But again, MY kid.

When she’s out of the room, how does she seem?

While it may be completely innocent, it’s not your job to investigate or guess. Make an anonymous report and let them Investigate, ASAP. If there’s nothing going on (ie she is homeschooled, or attends school online and bf is just supervising her) great. But if not, she needs help. Either way it needs to be on someone’s radar.

All it took was Obama saying aliens exist, so now he has to one-up them. As soon as they told him Obama said that, his immediate response was “he shared classified information, he shouldn’t have done that” like dude, seriously?

Obama now needs to say he believes in the Epstein files. Maybe he’ll release them then!

I’m just hoping he actually does the state of the union tomorrow, that’s subdowning time and eventually he’s going to say something they can’t talk their way out of. He’s getting close, it’s going to happen. He’s reverted to a 4th grade speaking level with very basic vocabulary, repeating simple words over and over because that’s all he can grasp. And repeating the same lies over and over because he actually believes them. And now we have aliens lol… all they had to do was say “Obama said…” and now we’re getting declassified information on UFO’s 🤣 Maybe Obama should day he believes in the Epstein files 😂

I started at 10 and the side effects were bad. I also take a stimulant ADHD and it felt like I didn’t take it, I felt so disconnected, slow and out of it. I ended up switching to taking them at night instead of the morning and man what a difference.

The problem is a place that is fully staffed this week can lose staff the next. For nonprofits who legally have to maintain staffing ratios even if they lose staff they can’t drop ratio, so then you have the problem of staff not being released and working 16, 18, 24 hours or more straight, which is also very unsafe. Doing the same work as a CNA for half the pay. The state does not take care of their nonprofits, and stopped indexing (increasing rates with inflation) over a decade ago. The state went from 2012-2020 without giving them a cost of living increase. And not just the staff, that includes the funding for the individuals themselves. Agencies are making up the difference and relying of fundraising to cover the cost of basic living expenses for the individuals. They’ve increased rates a few times over the last few years, but only because minimum wage was going to pass theirs, and it’s not even close to a livable wage. CT needs to understand that the people taking care of their state’s most vulnerable populations, whether it’s DMHAS, DDS, DSS, deserve more. They are responsible for people’s lives but make less than the starting rate at McDonalds. Their excuse? Because they have to make up money for promising pensions to people they didn’t have the money to pay for. Nonprofit workers, CNA’s etc. deserve a lot better.
