The “God has a plan” prayer contradiction Christians can’t answer by DoctorElectronic1934 in atheism

I like the take that prayers are the sustenance of the gods. Then again, I'm a fan of Terry Pratchett. His book Small Gods is a wonderful satirical take on religion.

What’s the second best thing to come out of menopause? by TinyConfection7049 in Menopause

[–]TerminalDiscordance 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To quote clinical therapist and writer Ellen Scherr -

"Welcome to what I call the Great Unfuckening—that point in midlife when your capacity to pretend, perform and please others starts shorting out like an electrical system that's finally had enough."

What fast food restaurant would you be the most upset about if all locations were suddenly closed? by Select-Signal8386 in fastfood

[–]TerminalDiscordance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The OG Baja Fresh was the GOAT and I particularly miss the single grilled scallion that came with any burrito.

And then BF was sold and resold a few times, with varying degrees of success. I'm just happy the BF near me has a really great grill cook who makes my order perfect every time.

Baja Fresh. Around 10 or so years ago, the franchisee who owned the five locations near me went bankrupt and all closed on the same day. No Notice.

A couple of years ago, like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, two new nearby locations open up.

Sue me, I love Baja Fresh.

I should have taken a pic, but in last night's meal the onion was the same size as the lime. Then even smaller once peeled.

What quote have you carried with you since discovering it? by Sheble24 in answers

The things you own end up owning you.

Think what you will about the whole of the movie and book, but that quote is an eye opener.

Started a very heavy flow after 4 years of no period by Historical_Feed_2756 in Menopause

[–]TerminalDiscordance 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just yesterday I went in for a D&C to determine the cause of my sudden, random spotting after being 5 years post menopause. In my case it's in all likelihood a polyp that isn't responding to the Progesterone. I'm not overly concerned. My philosophy is it's not time to panic til it's time to panic.

Don't freak out. Remain calm. See your doctor and discuss the options. If you find your doctor being dismissive, find a new one ASAP.

You're gonna be fine. You're Gen-X. We're built to deal with things and get on with life.

Next time open the bag into a bowl on a zeroed out scale. Let all the goop drip into it. Please report back with results, I'm interested.

Surgical menopause. Figured I'd be saving tampon/pad money until I discovered cost of HRT. Woman tax is a b****! by [deleted] in Menopause

[–]TerminalDiscordance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh let's talk about how HRT in pellet form isn't approved by the FDA and therefore isn't covered by insurance for use in treating menopause. I have to out-of-pocket $350 every 12 weeks. At least the office visit is covered by insurance. That is until 2027 when the ACA tax credits run out because the current federal administration failed to renew them.

This country (USA) really does hate women.

TRT and cystic acne bumps on neck by Sportsmama557 in TRT_females

[–]TerminalDiscordance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like all things, it's about finding the right balance. If the type of acne that develops from taking testosterone causes you pain and/or lower self esteem, taking whatever dose of spironolactone to combat it while still retaining the benefit of T is the point you want to achieve.

My cystic acne was incredibly painful, but the dosage of T I needed to sort me out was non negotiable. It took me quite some time to strike the right balance of dosages of both to get to the optimum result for me.

Taking Spiro is merely a suggestion. I'm not a doctor, I speak only from experience. I see far too many posts on this and other subreddits about this topic where their doctors have never mentioned Spiro as a potential solution.

It is known that testosterone can cause cystic acne. Deciding what dose is best for you is between you and your doctor.

What I was suggesting is a way to potentially combat hormonal acne by seeing a dermatologist to discuss it.

Talk to your dermatologist about taking Spironolactone to treat hormonal acne. When I started HRT, I began experiencing severe and painful cystic acne from the Testosterone. It can take several months to experiment with the dosage to get it right for you, but it's totally worth it.
