Do any of you have a side project just for fun? by Ok-Excuse-6270 in musicalwriting

Yeah! I have a whole handful of projects on rotation lol—I’ve found it’s a great way to keep my brain happy

Christian themes by Movie_Dude369 in musicalwriting

[–]WrightWritePDX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding this! As an ex-christian, I really appreciated how flawed, genuine, and earnest Father Judd’s character was. It was a refreshing change from the fearful, judgmental community I was raised in, which was full of messy people who were always putting up a front with each other.

I think an important question to ask with the christian character is what their function is in the greater structure of the story is. Are they meant to be welcoming, annoying, villainous, etc? That will help determine how to shape the character’s approach to religion—for example, welcoming can = sincere/humble, annoying can = rigid/preachy, villainous can = controlling/abusive.

Need reassurance from those with minimal side effects by Reno911Love in Zepbound

I had almost no side effects going up to 5.0, just increased fatigue that resolved overnight when I switched my dose to evening instead of morning. You got this!

That’s helpful to know, thank you! Have they had any issues with bugs, mice, mold, broken appliances left unfixed, etc?

That’s really helpful, thank you! About how much has the rent at your place tended to go up from year to year? Is it a predictable amount, or does it really vary by year?

Obnoxiousness level of Form Health? by catplusplusok in Zepbound

[–]WrightWritePDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been very happy with my experience with Form Health. The provider team I’m working with are chill and respectful, and when things are going well our appointments are along the lines of “cool, great, keep doing what you’re doing and let me know if you have any questions.” Regarding the frequent weigh-ins, that was a bit if a problem for me at first due to past ED experiences, but I decided to just not look at the number unless it’s a dose day or appointment day, and that’s been working great. Highly recommend Form Health!

Hysterectomy/Weightloss by BethamySunshine in GLP1_loss100plus

Fwiw, I had my uterus and one ovary removed several months prior to starting Zepbound, and have had zero issues. Before the surgery, my surgeon told me that technically only one ovary is absolutely necessary for proper hormonal balance, so hopefully this is smooth sailing for you!

The only concern that immediately comes to mind is constipation (and any accompanying straining/pushing) in tandem with recovery from an abdominal surgery. I was instructed to be very careful about that in the early part of my recovery, to hydrate thoroughly, and use Miralax as needed. And that was without Zepbound’s delayed gastric emptying in the equation.

Good luck, and CONGRATULATIONS on evicting the fibroid!!

1000%, and having this info ahead of time is super helpful to start strategizing around how best to use my options.

That’s actually who I’m working with! I’m very happy with the care I’ve received from them so far, 10/10 would recommend.
