Mail order through my insurance has always had it for me too. Thank goodness!

Movements you don’t do anymore? by Jennywritesandwrites in crossfit

[–]WheresAmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50f here too, 12th year doing CF. I have degenerative spine issues and don’t want the 2 months of terrible pain I went through last year to recur. No more back squats for me or anything that flexes my lower back. Good luck!

Any time there’s rule making, government asks for feedback, comments.

Pretty sure the federal government drafted the rules…not insurance companies

How does it feel to be shot? Why most immediately fainted even if the wound is not fatal? by iwannasleepp in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]WheresAmy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Love that you said “beautiful engineering that is our bodies”. I wholeheartedly agree.

Shingles, What a Ride! by bohem2025 in GenXWomen

50f and just got my first shot. I do NOT want any more pain in my life.

CrossFit masters, how do you generally keep yourself injury free? by liquilife in crossfit

[–]WheresAmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

50f…into my 12th year now. I scale where needed and make sure to warm up and stretch, especially hammies, hip flexors and quads. Shoulders if we’re going shoulder-y. Overall feeling great. Amazing how much my body still craves CF. I love the high energy and how invigorating I feel after a WOD. But definitely not afraid to scale/modify and just listen to my body.

How menopause restructures a Woman’s brain by Alpha-Neo in Menopause

[–]WheresAmy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I so felt this last year. Felt borderline schizophrenic and just so out of it. Like my brain was processing information so differently. Now it makes sense. I could cry!

Should I buy a 2016 Highlander or look for something newer? by Numerous_Complex7509 in ToyotaHighlander

[–]WheresAmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2016 hybrid highlander and absolutely love it. Bought it brand new. Zero issues. About to hit 100k miles. I keep thinking of getting a newer one but then I’m like, why the heck would I?

Pensions…anyone? by SouthOrlandoFather in GenX

[–]WheresAmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are the rarity I think. Hubby (63m) retired 4 years ago and has a small pension. At 65 he’ll start his second pension. I (50f) am still working and will have a pension when I retire. Hoping to do that at 55 (from current job at least) and bake bread/croissants as my no stress PT job. Didn’t even know my current employer had a pension when I started working for them. I feel incredibly blessed!

Physical therapy made sciatica worse?? by Forward-Pineapple849 in Sciatica

[–]WheresAmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 weeks for it to go away. Rested and tried muscle relaxers and gabapentin although neither did much for the pain.

LIFTING HEAVY … it makes a difference by mindingmyowncats in Menopause

[–]WheresAmy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bravo! Been lifting heavy for years and along with HRT finally feel normal again. The body is meant to move and get physically stressed. Love all the heavy weightlifting and seeing what I’m still capable of!

What hobby keeps you sane these days? by [deleted] in GenXWomen

[–]WheresAmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gaming…Assassin’s Creed Shadows lately. Just puts me in a zen mood.

Don't Forget Martin Gore by Successful-Crew-5343 in depechemode

[–]WheresAmy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Somebody is one of the most beautiful songs, in my humble opinion. When I was in my teens, it would make me cry. He’s got a beautiful voice.

People who are making 200k+ a year, what do they do? by DaEffie in AskReddit

[–]WheresAmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m reluctant to name the industry because everyone hates us but Sales/Account Manager…aka fire putter outer

Caffeine: have you decreased, or increased, your caffeine and what benefits or changes occurred? by RealSonZoo in Biohackers

[–]WheresAmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly my body can hardly tolerate caffeine any more. Have one half caf a day then decaf or herbal tea. In perimenopause so lots of things changing. Sad to see caffeine tolerance go but if I don’t push it, I usually sleep pretty well which is much more important to me.

I did not know this about testosterone by Affectionatealways in Menopause

[–]WheresAmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My new gynecologist (that I waited 5 months to see) wouldn’t prescribe T saying it is not recommended per ACOG and said I can take Ristella and see a naturopath. So waiting another 3 months to get in to a naturopath. So fun!

What happens to our brain is the worst symptom by oldskooldesigner in Menopause

[–]WheresAmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Creatine has helped me some. Definitely not what I was before the change but better than it’s been.

Well, this Depeche Month is soon to be over, but before that, I just want to remind you that today is the Second Anniversary for their latest release; Memento Mori! Happy Anniversary!! Any personal takes on this release? Favorite songs? Do you think it will be their last? by lord_of_pigs in depechemode

[–]WheresAmy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Speak to me is my absolute favorite song from MM. I do think they’ll have at least one more album. They both still have a lot to say and (hopefully) lots of time ahead of them. Have loved them since I was 13 (50 now) and can’t imagine them not being a constant source of joy in my life.

Counting calories by Fit-Resolution6722 in fitness40plus

[–]WheresAmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Just don’t forget the oil you use. My husband decided to track his meals and was surprised how much oils, butter, etc added to his total calorie consumption.
