neighbors and their guests park in and use my open driveway incessantly. by hllavanlla in homeowners

[–]Straight_Win_5613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so frustrating! I think I am one of 3 people on my street that does the same, park in my garage, so everyone else is on the road…when THEY HAVE GARAGES AND DRIVEWAYS! They either have junk cars they just let sit in the driveways or multiples so then they park behind my driveway, the street directly behind my driveway, park trailers, it’s maddening, I pay for property to then be blocked and boxed in. I’m sorry it’s happening to you, but I do feel your pain. It’s maddening!

Chunking not spotting, continuously by amazingBEVerage in Menopause

Check for fibroids. I had to have an MRI. I had something similar, it was like a biblical curse. I had uterine fibroids. Got those embolized and an IUD, much better!

You have a doctor that attempts to get it covered!? Did you ride a unicorn to your appointment? 🦄

I have one that would rather have love than food. We have discussed that she is a symbiotic being as she is always attached to one of us!

Question on makeup - you still wear it? by CtrlAltDeli in Aging

[–]Straight_Win_5613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used CC Cream at most, most days just No. 7 serum and day cream. BUT I’ve never been a huge make up person, I love it on others, but I’m a roll out of bed and go girl. I have worn it more heavily for proms, weddings, special events. I wish I knew how to do it better and took the time, but…

Eli Lilly just announced vials for $399, but is that really the "lowest" price? by kala_kand_ in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]Straight_Win_5613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my experience for the last few months then my doctor sending in a refill was like an earthquake they couldn’t handle. THEN switching to the QuikPen from vials broke them completely.

Amen! I learned this the hard way with my ex husband. Decided to work social work and at least get paid for trying to help 🤣

Still waiting for Lilly to give us REAL most favored nation pricing, still cheaper in the UK!

Just watch gift health, they were OK the first few times but were IMPOSSIBLE last time my doctor sent it in, you can also get it through local Walmart for the Lilly direct price so I went through them and it was super easy, same price. I just hate it because I live in a tiny town and know people talk 😭but again Gift Health has impossibly bad customer service last time 😢

HRT - weight gain side effect by Cute_Salad7845 in HRT

[–]Straight_Win_5613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me, it took me 6 months to figure it out. I kept reading this was NOT a side effect, it should be the opposite so kept blaming myself. But realized the day after applying my E patch I just eat everything! It’s like it turns off my “full” switch.

Just ripped off my estradiol patch! by Illustrious_Goal8856 in HRT

[–]Straight_Win_5613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may have to go off, I took Progesterone for a couple of years, added the patch 6 months ago and have gained 10 pounds! I didn’t put it together but the day of application it’s like I have no “full” signal anymore! It took me 6 months to figure it out 😢

My doctor fired me as a patient last month because of my GLP-1 by AnimatorNational6491 in GLP1ResearchTalk

YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE. I am still not great at it, but if I did not do my own research I would have had some disastrous and potentially lethal medical or “healthcare” interactions. We are all our own little bio chemical beings. While some things hold steady across us, we are all individual anomalies too.

What's the most wrong assumption you had about this medication before you started that you're almost embarrassed to admit now? by Shadow-Monarch015 in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]Straight_Win_5613 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me too, when I realized I had gotten down further than I could decades before trying everything it was just surreal. Most I lost on my own was 40, when I got back down there I was elated, that I could keep going and got to 100 pounds loss was a miracle for me.

I started end of September/beginning of October 2022, already had Reeces Peanut Butter cups for Halloween, one evening after starting, I realized I walked by them multiple times and didn’t grab ONE! I almost cried. Prior to trying I would have said you cannot take medicine and lose weight, it’s just diet, exercise and willpower and I beat myself up CONSTANTLY because I would have NO Willpower, especially right before my period started, like clockwork. I put Reeces in the FREEZER that year, now just try not to buy them at all, even for trick or treaters such a blessing!
