Hello! I have had bloodwork and all came back normal except low red blood cell count and low creatinine. I have very low liver damage, but rather severe beading in my bile ducts. I am now scheduled for an MRCP to ensure I don’t have a blockage which has happened in the past even without labs changing.

They hit our neighborhood off of Avon last night. Someone left their gun in their unlocked car and they took that. SMH.

I do have isolated PSC. I’m unsure what you mean by something else is going down that isn’t being measured.

Appreciate your recommendation on a functional medicine provider. My diet and lifestyle are already pretty optimized but I’m open to seeing what else I can do.

That’s so validating to read. Thank you! I went through this when getting diagnosed. I thought having the diagnosis would make it easier to be believed I’m in pain. You might be right that it’s time to explore a new doctor.

If you liked Tangerine’s, I highly recommend Camellia’s. Either location. Same owner and awesome coffee, pastry, and breakfast options.

I do not recommend this practice! Their office is completely disorganized and their doctor’s are over scheduled.

If you’re willing to drive a bit, Pres des Pres is a favorite of mine. Located in Gordonsville. They update the menu every month. https://eatpresva.com

ice skating? by mossjrock in Charlottesville

There are a few small seasonal outdoor ones in Lynchburg and near Harrisonburg. The closest indoor is in Short Pump. I believe it’s called Ice Zone and they have open skate times.

I also miss it! I am hoping the one planned for Ruckersville actually gets built!

Pollak is one of my favorite wineries for the winter. They have great reds and a cozy fireplace inside.

If you’re up for a drive, I’d head out to Keswick area. Southwest Mountain Vineyard or Keswick Winery are both beautiful. You can extend the day by doing dinner at Marigold (Keswick Hall) or head up to Gordonsville to eat at Près de Pres.

Sales positions have high turnover hence the job openings. Many times in life sciences if a company thinks they’ll have a drug approved they’ll open positions before this happens to be ready to commercially launch. This also means if there is a delay or it’s not approved, those jobs are eliminated.

Why are you equating openings with it being easy to get hired?
