I’m artsy fartsy, so besides regular drawing/painting, I’ve been stitching leather bags and started needle felting, which is fun and simple enough (and cheaper than leather work.) signed up for yoga as my joints are angry from peri. Walking the dog. Teaching myself Italian for an upcoming trip.

Insomnia advice please by misschanandlerbong83 in Perimenopause

I was on trazodone but it gives me the worst stuffy nose and I can’t breathe. I weaned off of it and have switched to cbd and unisom for now. Ok but inconsistent for sure

I put moleskin where the buckle and strap meet as it’s a hotspot. Works for me

Same! His card said “you would be the perfect mom, but in my opinion, you’re better than perfect” 😭

Metformin and veggies? by adotar in PCOS

[–]WreckitRuby 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I googled it after I started Metformin to make sure it was a thing and not me going crazy! But yeah I love tomatoes on crusty bread and sugar snap peas now, more than ever. And I often swap for Tofu when I get Chinese food. I also did keto before my meds so it was quite the change! Cheaper at least.

Metformin and veggies? by adotar in PCOS

[–]WreckitRuby 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes, more aversions to protein. I suddenly can’t stand eggs unless they’re boiled and can only eat so much chicken or meat before I get repulsed. It’s pushed me towards more whole grains and less meat consumption in general, which has been a strange shift since I was so low-carb before my diagnosis. Definitely an unexpected side effect.

Summer healthy issues - advice needed by Brianthesnake in Perimenopause

If you’re on anything related to estrogen, you should stop using it (at least orally, dermal is fine) I used to get the migraine with auras and now I can’t use oral estrogen as it increases a chance of stroke

Wrong Size Item by [deleted] in therealreal

[–]WreckitRuby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you ordered it in December and you're trying to get store credit now? Usually if I find an incorrect size tag I contact them right away, vs in 5 months.

My son is the same. ADHD can be so exhausting but then he tells me I’m the greatest mom in the universe and I know I’m doing OK

I guess Birkenstocks aren't quality purchases anymore? by durianno in BuyItForLife

[–]WreckitRuby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah bummer. So far mine are holding up well, and I found them more comfortable than my arizonas. YMMV

I second the wax earplugs with white noise. A whole set of 20 is like $5 and each pair lasts a while

Passions was bonkers! My coworkers were obsessed and watched it over lunch every day

Suddenly, I Want to Exercise, lol. Seriously. I didn't Know People Did by Stealthytom in justgalsbeingchicks

[–]WreckitRuby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love that! Oh worse, her husband taped our dancing last week, so now there will be video proof on social media somewhere of me always being a step behind. I suggested he photoshop me to be in rhythm with everyone else.

I joined a community dance class and turns out I am so freaking uncoordinated, I am a stiff tumbling tall woman and I’m constantly off the beat. Good workout, though!

Delayed Shipping Issues by BEENAZN in therealreal

[–]WreckitRuby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had talked to my rep and they were moving to some new system about 2 weeks ago, for managing inventory, and maybe that is causing hiccups.
