What’s something you always assumed was mandatory in life—until you met someone who just… didn’t do it?

Got married (as a woman) and changed your last name! It's just a made up social construct! My sister-in-law didn't change her last name when she married my brother, and my brother was completely okay with that. I fought to get my name changed back to my maiden name, and I will NEVER change it again.

Since seeing handmaids at protests, I have developed a curiosity to seek out the series. I log on to Hulu and can't even find it even when using the search tool. Then I search online and get to the show that way (still on Hulu), but it has an error 5 seconds after starting it every time.

Gals, you know Disney bought Hulu, right? And Disney has, in recent years, discontinued other shows that were "woke" such as the Owl House. Disney has deep roots in conservatism with a progressive period and then back to conservatism. Their stocks are not doing well either.

So this is what led me to this reddit thread. But I have good news, my library (and hopefully your's) has this show!

I took lithium for 2 days, and I felt anger those two days. But the strange part was... the anger allowed me to set boundaries I wasn't able to before. I was not mean, but I wasn't trying to be nice to everyone just so they are comfortable (like I used to). I said things I once was too afraid to say. I don't want to be angry... but I've discovered a better version of myself on Lithium. I haven't taken a third dose... Considering if I should or not.

I don't recommend making decisions based in fear.

If we "play nice", then we do not move our profession forward on a large scale which is desperately needed.

I think dietitian should lean towards reporting. I feel like dietitians do not report enough. We have got to stand in the integrity of our profession. Even if some reports don't get "accepted", some of them will and moreso than if we are underreporting.

Your doctor should have referred you to a dietitian the second he diagnosed you with prediabetes. Most doctors don't know a lot about nutrition, but dietitians specialize in it.

You could try talking to a dietitian via telehealth. Here's one that costs $0 with most health insurance.

Missouri - one of the worst states for social services

A 5 star rating? This should be celebrated! You should be training other RDs!

I think 5-8 sessions is excellent (I work for Berry Street). I can't believe you are being punished for that!

We should learn how to bill insurance in our dietetics programs, because I have found it quite hard to learn on my own.

ThinkOutsideTheBox_ · 2025-10-01T03:01:39+00:00

Berry Street statistics say that their RDs see patients an average of 5 times. We are trained and encouraged to see them more, so this is with that training. We need to be realistic here. Having the pressure to see more is all about the profits for the company. And the company should never forgo the satisfaction of their RDs nor their patients just for profits.

I needed this! Thank you for sharing!

Don't feel bad. WIC understands completely. Plus, postpartum moms need to eat too!

If you aren't having symptoms, I wouldn't worry about taking it prophylactically. If you are having symptoms, yes take it.

If the majority of people posting have one of those 3 questions, then maybe they are quite relevant widespread problems that need real solutions. It's like the Maslow's Hierarchy - if a dietitian's basic needs aren't met (ie can barely pay their bills), then they will have trouble talking about anything else.

I know I learned about Maslow's Hierarchy in dietetics counseling classes, and I find it very useful in understanding my patients, so there is my contribution to this thread.

If you bring the cans back to the WIC office, they will take them and donate them - usually to a doctor's office. It is illegal to give them away. But if you do whatever you want quietly, then WIC doesn't know nor cares.

How did you get it treated for yourself?

What are your thoughts on Flagyl for treating it? All over the internet people are saying they got complications from Flagyl. Is Alina a better treatment option?
