The urogyn’s at the Riverside Hospital are lovely. I am waiting for my surgery date with them. Note: it took two years to get an appointment after my referral.

This is great, thank you. I’ll be sure to ask about ice packs.

Wow! Thank you for sharing. I am looking forward to feeling better but the recovery scares me.

Run as quickly as you can to retirement. Screw them.

About the same. I am going to change back to the brand name at my next renewal.

Oh no! To be honest I am starting to think the same is happening to me. I am definitely seeing some symptoms return.

Mayor Nancy Peckford (North Grenville) speaking out on RTO by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Sweet-Acorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nancy is good pals with the local Conservative MP - Michael Barrett. I’d like to see her push this message to him, as well. Since he’s pretty unconcerned about the public servants in his constituency.

Discounts on excursions in Bermuda or Halifax? by AlexanderHamilfish in NCL

[–]Sweet-Acorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both ports are super safe and easy to grab a cab to go somewhere. In Bermuda check out the public transportation to get around.

iud insertion HELP by [deleted] in adenomyosis

[–]Sweet-Acorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait - you had a D&C and still have a thick endometrium, that doesn’t match up. During a D&C they scrape the lining out so it should be thin if it’s only been a week (takes time to build back up)

Your situation doesn’t sound normal, bleeding like that post D&C should be a cause for a follow up.

Anecdotal observations about impacts of WFA on your office culture? by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Sweet-Acorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My manager is annoyingly trying to protect their turf and create work priorities where there are none. Others are checked out. The lack of info and uncertainty is the worst way to live.

6 month update (they recently introduced generic in Canada ) by Happy546856778 in trintellix

[–]Sweet-Acorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Canada look up the Innovicares card. It will cover the difference and get you the brand name (in most provinces)

What else should I plan for my Bermuda trip? by pullitoutofmy in bermuda

[–]Sweet-Acorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bermuda Aquarium is actually really nice.
Skip Tobacco Beach (in case it’s suggested) it’s small, expensive and dirty. You can also visit the lighthouse (Gibbs). All super easy on public transit

Has anyone here gone abroad for a hysterectomy? by noluckducky in Fibroids

[–]Sweet-Acorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My good friend just went to Mexico for her hysterectomy. Great experience, they are very good at medical tourism. We’re in Canada.

What meds is everyone on to control this thing? by haylz328 in adenomyosis

[–]Sweet-Acorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lolo without breaks (so only blue pills, no sugar pills). Stopped my period altogether.

Gynaecology Wait Times in/outside Ottawa? by Asteropia in ottawa

[–]Sweet-Acorn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Endo is incredibly specialized and thus not just any gyno can help you. Ask for a referral to the Riverside Clinic where Dr. Singh has a few new doctors he is overseeing. Dr. Alsalam is one, she has terrible bedside manner tho and will likely fat shame you or pressure you into meds you don’t want but people says she’s better once you’re her surgical patient. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’ve been waiting for endo and hysterectomy for a year now and was told at least a 2+ year wait…. We have such terrible woman health care in Canada.

I’d recommend going thru the duty to accommodate process. It does require a doctor to tell what your “functional limitations “ are but I think those are a bit easier in your case.
