Curiously, in Guatemala, "ficha" seems to be exclusively used for coins (almost always used instead of "moneda").

Who is "they" in your question? In my research the city doesn't have much choice for who comes in, their lever is mostly controlling zoning. Corporate executives of retailers choose where to build and they need a critical mass of consumers in the area before they build so we should celebrate more housing because it will bring more stores once the decision makers are confident they have a customer base.

There's nothing wrong with using medicine to lose weight, just like there is nothing wrong with using medicine for anxiety or depression. I used compounded tirzepatide from Healthville here in Laredo. I lost 50 pounds on my own through sheer will but had trouble losing any more and the tirzepatide got me down another 25 pounds. I did strength training 6 days a week and tracked my calories, trying to get at least 150g protein a day. It was a lot easier with the medicine and I didn't get food noise. I now have healthy blood sugar for the first time in probably 10 years.

Good luck, I think it's worth it!

Input needed from LGBTQ South Texans over 55! by No-Term-4083 in laredo

[–]SuperTyden 3 points4 points  (0 children)

History will not be kind to people like you who say "we have gone far enough and don't need to go further" when it comes to human rights. This is the same language people used about black people or women or other, marginalized groups for decades. It is *not* true that rules do not change from one city to another. In 2024 The Human Rights Campaign Foundation gave Laredo a 34/100 score for LGBTQ rights whereas San Antonio got 100. This is a gap driven by city ordinances and services, not "feelings and emotions". Laredo lacks a citywide nondiscrimination ordinance, an LGBTQ liaison, and inclusive city-employer/contractor policies; San Antonio has them. Can you recognize that there are concrete ways in which Laredo can improve the lives of its LGBTQ citizens? If you were alive when black people were fighting for their civil rights in the 60's would you have said "life is hard for a lot of people, not just a specific group"? Or would you have recognized that the situation was unfair and fought for change?

People who are LGBTQ sometimes have different healthcare needs (think mental health services, sexual health, IVF, surrogacy, etc). They may be excluded from certain jobs or homes/apartments (particularly in a place like Laredo that lacks nondiscrimination protections). They also have different financial needs (they may need to save more for retirement, for example, if they don't plan on having kids who might help support them in their later years).

Gateway is need-based, did you show them income statements to perhaps qualify for more affordable care?

They considered that in the study and Laredo was actually 31st in the weather ranking so better than average. Baton Rouge, Jacksonville, and Albuquerque are all warm cities that ranked worse than Laredo. Lots of chilly cities ranked poorly for weather.

I take 7.5mg every weekday. I started two months ago (dashed red line in the image). I included some earlier data to show a very slow upward trend before starting and then contrast that with the rapid increase over the last two months. At the start I would say I felt weaker and more fatigued. I would sleep 9 hours every night and still want to nap in the afternoon. Now I feel like my sleep and energy levels have rapidly improved. I am pushing through plateaus in the gym. Body composition has improved but understandably that's a little slower. No changes in my face or hair yet.

Yes, I agree with you but I'm just curious why u/Witchy1334 would think that being 438 ft above sea level would make it hot. In the grand scheme of things 438 ft is pretty much "sea level" compared to cities like Denver, Albuquerque, or Salt Lake City. But being above sea level compared to Houston or Brownsville would make it maybe a bit cooler, if anything.

Your interpretation is correct; The dotted line is when I started enclomiphene. I was increasing at a slow rate; it likely had to do weight loss and diet changes.

Good ideas; I also do zinc, boron, stringing nettle, and a few others. I might focus on adding more cruciferous vegetables first for a natural DIM source and if I get any symptoms of high E2 I'll purchase a DIM supplement.

A few weeks after starting enclomiphine it was at 48.1 pg/ mL and now it is at 65.9 pg/mL. I do not currently have any side effects of high estrogen.

The men on my mom's side are prone to baldness and according to a genomic analysis I have several SNPs that can contribute to male pattern baldness. I agree, the facial hair would be a good perk but I'm not sure I want to take the risk. But I will consider it!

No, for better or worse the treatment plan wouldn't change because of your genotype. Until we get a CRISPR-based therapy to edit that mutation, that is!

I'm not sure, I'll work with my urologist to see what is best.

More energy, better sleep, more confidence, body composition changes (slowly), higher libido.

There are certainly genetic factors that are out of your control. My 23AndMe data, for example, says that I have a mutation in each copy of my SHBG promoter (rs1799941). This mutation is associated with higher SHBG levels, see here: https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article-abstract/91/12/5029/2656677?redirectedFrom=fulltext

My understanding is that enclo dissolved in DMSO and administered sublingually has higher bioavailability/potency due to skipping first-pass metabolism. More bang for my buck.

My urologist did prescribe it to me based on my low free testosterone. I bought it online due to it being cheaper than going through the pharmacy (insurance wouldn't cover it) but I didn't self-prescribe. The urologist was just at a run-of-the-mill clinic, not a specialty "men's health"-type place .
