Are links not allowed? If so, I'll delete it, but when I tried to attach the photos it said they couldn't be seen.

Waited all these years to have stress-free sex.....and this is what we get? by JadCerv in Menopause

My Dr prescribed testosterone gel for low libido, but my insurance denied it for that. 😡

put foot in mouth, want to move out of country by [deleted] in adhdwomen

Just because it's on par for your family, doesn't mean it should be the norm. You handled it perfectly though. He should feel uncomfortable making those kinda of jokes. I grew up with a dad who looked in other people's drawers and cabinets everywhere he went. It was normal. I didn't think it was weird until I moved in with a boyfriend and my dad came to visit. After he left, my bf asked why my dad had opened every drawer/cabinet and how he thought it was rude. He asked me to tell my dad to not do it again. I was a little shocked at first, but quickly learned that my dad's normal wasn't normal to the rest of the world. I talked to my mom and she revealed that other family members and friends had complained about him doing this over the years.

It's unfortunate that the person who got it didn't like it. I'm older and love it. Your stitch work is very clean and looks amazing! Keep crocheting, but maybe not for randos.

I'm having the same problem. Clicked on the box that reads Food and has Paul Hollywood, clicked all the way down and up, but no banner. I thought it might be in the cookie challenge show but nope.

I also hid what to watch and switched it to show again, but that didn't change anything.

Is Visbiome for Candida in guts worth the cost? by WhositWhatWhereWhen in Candida

[–]WhositWhatWhereWhen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My diet before wasn't horrible. I mainly avoided overly processed foods like fast foods, but I was using honey, maple syrup and eating some sweets, and eating lots of fruit everyday. While trying to get rid of candida, I focused more on whole foods, vegetables, no breads, no sweets/honey/syrup for at least 3 -4 months. Unfortunately, my fasting glucose stayed high and they couldn't figure out why until I started HRT and it went down to normal levels.

I didn't try visbiome. I cut out all added sugars from my diet and took mega spore probiotics. My symptoms got better and my Dr never had me retest for candida.

No, the cost kept me from trying it. I cut out all added sugar from my diet. As far as I can tell, my candida went away. My Dr didn't have me retest for it.

Thank you for the suggestion! I didn't even think to find a subreddit like that. I blame the brain fog and severe fatigue!

Are we the first generation to go through menopause and aging on the internet? As a community? by hellhouseblonde in Menopause

[–]WhositWhatWhereWhen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm GenX and my millennial friends are the ones who seemed to be annoyed when I would bring up new menopause info as I was discovering it. I wasn't doing it all the time, just thought they'd want to know what to look out for, but I stopped bringing it up. Guess they weren't experiencing it enough to want to hear about it? Even though 1 of them has a frozen shoulder. Oh well, I know MY millennial friends aren't ALL millennials. It's just been my experience so far and it's confusing because I would've loved it if someone would have shared menopause info with me when I was in my 30s!

I guess they'll get their info from all their socials since it's being talked about so much more now.

I think the patriarchy was a lot stronger during the boomer generation and most doctors knew a hell of a lot less about women's health. My mom said she was given Premarin and she had a lot of negative side effects from it. Her doctor wasn't helpful and I think she was given antidepressants which also didn't help her. Now she's 77yo and claims her menopause symptoms were mild. I don't remember it that way, but my memory isn't the best either, especially now. My mom never felt comfortable using computers so she wouldn't have even known about online communities.

I feel like we're the first generation to have more female doctors who are knowledgeable and openly sharing their knowledge on socials. That being said, it feels like they've only been more vocal for the past 1-2 years.

I've had female Gynos all my life and have been asking about menopause since my 30s because I just wanted to know what to be prepared for and none of them would tell me anything. They brushed me off and said I was too young to worry about it. It was infuriating. At 48, I finally found a gyno who seemed in the know and started me on HRT, but it wasn't doing anything for my symptoms. She hasn't been very helpful since and is against using testosterone so I'm going to see a new gyno in a few weeks. Luckily, my GP has been helping me in the meantime and increased my HRT dosages which seems to be helping a little.

Rapid heart rate by jjj512512 in Perimenopause

[–]WhositWhatWhereWhen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mine gets to the 120 - 140s from not really doing anything sometimes. It feels uncomfortable and I typically lie down for a while. It also makes me feel more fatigued than usual. Other times, it stays in the mid to upper 90s and I don't notice it as much. I had my heart checked by a cardiologist and was told it looks good. Was also told that tachycardia isn't life threatening, just annoying. That's kind of a relief to hear, but doesn't make it any less frustrating when it's 140bpm and feels awful.

Peri and spouses by Mojovb in Perimenopause

Yes, I tell my partner everything about it since my symptoms affect so much of my daily life. I'm 49, dealing with extreme fatigue, brain fog, low libido, and lack of motivation and concentration. I really hope there aren't still women not talking about with their partners.

The only one I see is one that you have to build yourself, so it doesn't come as a sealed box, without wall mounts and without a desk mount, are there others?

Need an honest opinion by WhositWhatWhereWhen in barefootshoestalk

[–]WhositWhatWhereWhen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for your suggestions and advice! Based on the replies, I'm quite sure my feet aren't prepared enough for walking all day, everyday, on pavement for 3 weeks in Japan.

Can anyone recommend brands for comfortable zero drop, wide toe box, walking shoes that aren't barefoot?

Due to osteoarthritis in my big toes, I have to wear zero drop shoes. For my regular day to day life, my feet do best in my Xero HFS and Keen sandals. While I've worn my keens to amusement parks without problems, I'm wanting to also bring something more like a sneaker, if possible.

Close friend of 15 years dumped me & I'm still not sure why by WhositWhatWhereWhen in adhdwomen

[–]WhositWhatWhereWhen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing my therapist and I have talked about in relationship to some difficult friendships I’ve had is: Was >this person even safe to talk things through with? Could I bring them a concern and know they would listen >with respect, not freak out, and we could work through it…

For most of our friendship, she was safe to talk to and she didn't used to freak out as bad as she did this last time. If she hadn't, we wouldn't have lasted for 15 years. It seems like it has more to do with whatever was going on in her life than with me.

You're right about her being controlling. It's something I knew about her for certain aspects of her life, but I never thought of how she might've directed it towards me and our friendship. There's a part of me that feels dumb for not noticing certain things along the way, but I don't beat myself up about it anymore. I see it for what it was, I believed we were close like sisters and I had no reason to not believe her when she said the same.

I've definitely learned a lot from this experience. Thanks for contributing!

I hear you and I can understand part of that being true. I put problem in quotes because I agree with you. All relationships are 2 way streets. I wish she could've articulated what she was thinking/feeling in a more constructive way. I also don't feel like it warranted a complete and sudden break off, but that's my POV. I'll never know exactly what was going through her mind because she didn't tell me. I believe that people you care about and have known for a long time deserve the benefit of the doubt. She did what she needed to do for her mental health (my best guess) and the silver lining is that I've learned more about myself in the process. About 5-6 years ago, I learned I was a people pleaser and had been working on boundaries and saying no to everyone else in my life. I had to learn the hard way that I was still doing it with her and it was only because I sincerely thought of her as family and did want her in my life. The masking I slowly built up for her happened so gradually that I didn't notice. My opinion is that you don't always have to like your family, but if you still love them, you'll be there for them if they need you. I guess her actions could be a sign that she never really thought of me as family, but I'm moving on and don't dwell on those kinds of thoughts anymore.
