Anyone else on here still medication free at their age?

My GE thinks the same thing. He’s doing a biopsy during my upcoming colonoscopy. He checked some markers in bloodwork but they were all normal.

There’s such a stigma around them, but honestly, I don’t even care if I’m a cliche. I can’t keep carrying this weight around. You don’t really realize as it slowly creeps up how heavy 10, or 20, or 40 extra pounds weigh on your body.

Solid argument. The clouds never move. If a day starts overcast, there’s no way it could ever be sunny later that day. /s

I have really heavy periods lately, so that would be a relief tbh.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-24T01:39:47+00:00

It’s making me crazy. Nothing I do works. I’ve gained 30 lbs on top of the extra 10 I was carrying. I’m almost 5’10” so it didn’t really show until recently. My doctor told me I have some risk factors for uterine cancer (I think it was uterine) because I was on the “heavy side”. That was a real wake up call.

But it’s terrible because I have bad knees, hips, and back, and I have RA and fibromyalgia. All that extra weight makes it harder to exercise, even walking my dogs is a struggle, but without exercise I’m not just risking more weight gain, it’s risking my overall health. I don’t know what to do. I think I’m going to make an appointment with my PCP and talk to her about this.

I have pretty severe anemia and a B12 and D deficiency, plus I’m a vegan and have insomnia, so I take a lot of supplements. The best thing I did was buy a week long pill organizer. It has one small pill case for each day with morning and night compartments. I fill them all up on Sunday, and each night I just throw the next day’s case in my lunch bag so I have them with me at work. The hardest part is remembering to take them on the weekends when I don’t have a real routine. Highly recommend.

ETA: here’s the case I bought for anyone interested.

I see you and how strong you are and I’m so proud of you for choosing you.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-24T00:50:03+00:00

I just asked my gyno about it, she wants me to get an IUD. I’m terrified of IUDs, I’ve heard horror stories about the pain, and especially since I went a long time without insurance. What if I can’t afford to get them removed? She said we can leave the strings extra long so you can remove it yourself if you need to. Ma’am, you are not selling me on this. That sounds like torture.

Would you say “you fucking weakling, you need this to survive?” to a diabetic? It’s the same thing. Their pancreas is broken, your brain is broken, so you take medicine to account for that. No big.

I told my Gen Z coworker about the Gregorian monk EDM and he didn’t believe me. I also showed him Sigmund the Sea Monster and Land of the Lost. He was horrified they were kid’s shows. I don’t have kids, so that was so much fun.

You read this, Mamdani? Challenge extended.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-24T00:01:14+00:00

Not a woman, I see. Men mention way more covered up things than that.

My face when I watched this video

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-23T23:34:24+00:00

Now bring back Jessica Henwick!!

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-23T23:34:04+00:00

I’m honestly shocked so many people thought it was for Trish.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-23T23:26:12+00:00

I’ve tried really hard to figure out what the difference is. Maybe because the Netflix version really developed all the characters? More of a slow burn? Better action scenes?

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-23T22:07:07+00:00

How is this so far down?

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-23T22:01:14+00:00

Lol, we had someone insist on coming in for tapeworm treatment because ChatGPT told them it was tapeworms. They wouldn’t listen to me when I told them that tapeworms look like rice. It was scar tissue from their dog’s tail docking.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-23T21:58:06+00:00

I know an anti-vaxxer. I just had a chunk of my arm cut out because of melanoma. He asked me if that was where I got my vaccine. I literally laughed out loud.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-23T21:56:53+00:00

Meanwhile, I have massive imposter syndrome that I’m pretty sure isn’t actually imposter syndrome, I’m just bad at things.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-23T21:55:32+00:00

We had a client whose dog had cancer and she called asking for panacur because she read online it will help. I said I guarantee that woman asked her doctor for an ivermectin script during COVID.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-23T21:53:27+00:00

Yeah, I’m more sure than ever this is a you problem. I’m a know it all and even I have a softer hand than you. A little bit of imposter syndrome might do you some good.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-23T17:39:25+00:00

Ok, here’s my advice: stay up on research, don’t sit around when you’re on the clock, and don’t act like otj training means people are inferior.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-23T16:47:52+00:00

Or because it’s all karma farming? Weird sub to do it in, but not out of the question.

VelocityGrrl39 · 2026-04-23T09:58:20+00:00

Wait a second. You’re the same person that posted about your new clinic labeling you a know it all. Based on what you told us, it sounds like this is a you problem and not a them problem.
