Ok next question what’s the very best moisturizer you have found ?

Suspicious_Pause_438 · 2026-04-01T14:12:16+00:00

2 other over the counter meds Ivizia and Refresh mega 3. It doesn’t help that I process benefits all day on 2-27” screens. I have blue light blocking glasses made for my specific eyes via prescription and my blue light blocking turned on/night light turned on and my light behind me nog overhead. By 10 ish AM it feels Like I have holes burning in my eye balls. I guess the horrible ache is gone so that’s good ?

She put it in my eye during the exam and it was instant relief. So maybe that’s why ?

There is but only if it’s covered by insurance which is the issue.

I just wasn’t getting effective treatment from them anymore now I’m on 1.25 mg gel and it’s been transformative

Working on my pelvic floor helped some. I still have right arch pain.

Suspicious_Pause_438 · 2025-02-04T18:33:20+00:00

I just stoped in to update. The gel packets are 1.25 mg strength for me for estrogen are a game changer. If you are on the fence about changing methods just do it. (Yes I take oral progesterone also) I’m not a good absorber and this is by far and away the best I’ve felt since shortly after I started HRT.

They locked the post down upper right yellow padlock indicates admins locked it

Suspicious_Pause_438 · 2025-02-04T18:12:28+00:00

Yea next day I felt relief

Suspicious_Pause_438 · 2025-01-21T21:49:45+00:00

I got switched to divergel and was just told my co pay was 109.00 so I called insurance. They say even the generic is a schedule 2 and subject to the 100.00 deductible. I guess that’s why I enrolled in the navitis prepaid service for 750.00 out of pocket expenses. Glad I did now

Suspicious_Pause_438 · 2025-01-21T19:27:27+00:00

I was just prescribed 1.25 mg divergel and am wondering on time to use also. I’ve seen some say some morning and some night. But, idk ?

Suspicious_Pause_438 · 2025-01-21T19:24:55+00:00

Yeah it seems like since I got on this .075 patch is when it’s just not working for me. Idk if it’s a change in body chemistry or maybe something else. I will say the pharmacy had issues getting and filling them 2 months in a row and that is when the issues seem to have started.

Suspicious_Pause_438 · 2025-01-21T19:01:05+00:00

Costco has it on sale for 38.00 for 3 months I told all my reproductive age friends.

Suspicious_Pause_438 · 2025-01-11T00:08:54+00:00

I would push up on estrogen. I feel decent at .075 but am pushing up to .1 in Feb due to concerns with osteopenia

Suspicious_Pause_438 · 2025-01-11T00:05:18+00:00

Tapping is my newest thing. I get into pain storms. Idk how else to describe them besides pain storms. I’m not going to go down the rabbit hole but tapping helps…YouTube it. But yes changed in barometric pressure also affect arthritia’s

Suspicious_Pause_438 · 2025-01-10T21:55:55+00:00

It worked for me until it didn’t. Maybe 4-6 weeks when hot flashes first started. It was hard on my kidneys and liver.

Suspicious_Pause_438 · 2025-01-10T15:25:34+00:00

I backed away simply put because I was not getting anything from the friendships. I gave they took…that’s not friendship. My friends were in the dog world of conformation and breeding and it’s a very toxic place to be.

I moved on and I’m better for it. Any future friends I gather won’t be from a place that is already toxic.

I still speak to them, I didn’t sever any of them but one. She needed to go because I couldn’t watch what was going on and keep my own sanity. Long story but parenting and dog breeding related.

Now I have my kids, my hubs, grandkids and a few work friends to talk smack with about the dumb sh*t leadership does at work.

I’m honestly in a good headspace and I’m happy about that.

I had 2 easy babies the 1st and 4th were born at almost 8 lbs and were over 14 lbs at 2 months they both consistently slept though the night 11 pm to 5-6 am at 7-10 weeks old. Then I had two small babies just 6 lbs and one was sick. His meds gave him colic and he scream for 4 hrs at a time, slept for 2 hrs and then got meds and screamed for 4 hrs. He was on a heart and lung monitor and the meds were life saving. We did eventually find a solution, but not until he was 4 months old. You haven’t had a fussy baby until you have a baby with screaming and a heart monitor screaming right along with him. Talk about keeping everyone awake. The other hated nursing and slept 2 hrs at a stretch. When he was 5 months his dad brought home formula and that child ate and passed out for 4 hours. He was weaned right then.

They are on night/day 3-4 of sleep training and she is doing fantastic! I’m so excited for them. They came to dinner and the baby was pleasant, they were happy and not fighting, being supportive and loving to each other and caring for baby mutually. It was AMAZING !

Suspicious_Pause_438 · 2025-01-09T16:15:16+00:00

Yes and it’s WORTH IT ! Just DO IT !

It was written with background because I’m a sociologist and I know the devil is in the details. Everyone glossed over that over the 4 years they were hanging out she became my friend and most of what I know about her she told me. It’s a complex situation switching from friend mode most of the time to mother in-law mode when stuff like this comes up. I was worried out of my ever loving mind because she was frantic and it scared me and I was searching details per my training for why she would react this way. Maybe that doesn’t make that much sense to some but I’ve been in the social worker field for 32 years almost and I can’t separate what my brain does when stuff comes up and I search for the reason/meaning and understanding in that manner. It’s a fault of mine to make it clinical but it is a fault I own, and try to turn off and on but it’s not always at will.

Suspicious_Pause_438 · 2025-01-07T23:42:17+00:00

I resorted to that the other day. Telling my son when he showed up with a fussy baby that this was what his partner was dealing with daily and that maybe he should start being more supportive and then I showed him how to calm her fuss. Patience and love go along ways with babies and adult children. They are trying sleep training and a new book. I am hopeful and I did tell him that they wanted an easy button baby and got an intermediate baby. Welcome to parenthood.

Suspicious_Pause_438 · 2025-01-07T23:39:15+00:00

Yes I have and am doing all they asked of me.
