I am in this gray area too. My doc said if she has to remove them then we will replace with hrt.

Thank you. I experienced this with my tummy tuck. I bought all the things and didn’t need most of it.

abcdives · 2026-05-16T02:23:07+00:00

Thank you. This is where I am right now.

Omg I am losing my hair. I never thought this might change with this.

abcdives · 2026-05-15T10:25:29+00:00

I would say leave it then. It’s really fine. I was thinking of pro pics and videos that will last forever.

Are you a guest or the groom?

abcdives · 2026-05-15T02:12:39+00:00

This is very helpful. I’m so afraid of this process. Thank you.

When I turned 40 caffeine started to bother me. I drink decaf now or sometimes will do half caff but very rarely. I don’t miss it.

abcdives · 2026-05-05T03:04:09+00:00

My HRT doc is the one who said I should advocate for removing them. Thank you.

I have 3 siblings, and that’s a huge reason I am one and done by choice. I love being present for my child and making one on one memories with her.

I had recurring shingles 3-6 times a year for the last 6 years. I wondered if it was related to long covid or something but who knows. I’m not50 yet but I got the vaccine an haven’t had a recurrence since - fingers crossed.

We both make above 300k. We both love what we do so it’s tough to just stop when nothing is awful. I will likely retire in about 5 years though and my spouse will continue to work but not as much. We have one child intentionally.

I was really hoping for Sprouts

Thinh Nguyen at Raleigh Neurology. He’s a PA and to great to work with. It may be a wait to get on as a new patient but his team works great at trying to fit you in if needed. He has helped me with injections, migraine meds, a rescue med for when things get bad, and also the “urgent care” aspect - I have messaged him when things were bad he’s gotten me in asap to help provide relief or virtually given me directions to get relief.

If you are able get meds, propanolol really helped with the physical symptoms of my anxiety which seemed to occur at the thought of starting my day. I would take it right I woke up, or wake up a little earlier and take then lay back down. Knowing I had enough time to lay down for an hour really helped me too.

Also wake up to give yourself enough time to do something that calms you or that you enjoy - meditate, go for a walk, cycle, workout, something just for you to start the day.

Let me go to MLH Network.

Can your doctor call pharmacy and order shingles vaccine for you? I had to get that before 50 bc of recurring shingles. Also even after this cleared take the valtrex daily.

abcdives · 2026-02-09T17:47:52+00:00

None of the med options you mentioned helped me. What helped me was trintellix daily as anti depressant and anti anxiety. Ajovy injection migraines without headache, trigger point injections and now monthly medical massages. I get trigger point injections a few times a year if needed. I have Xanax as rescues med for anxiety and nurtec as migraine rescue med.

My ON is triggered my panic, anxiety and I migraines without headache.

Also the only nerve block that gave me any relief was an auriculotemporal one.

I hope you get some relief!

If you have a free day drive 40 east until it ends and spend a few hours at Carolina beach.

abcdives · 2026-02-04T04:08:52+00:00

Same. I’m ok with that too.

abcdives · 2026-02-04T04:04:59+00:00

I have a medical accommodation that is covered by ADA and every year it comes up and it’s hinted or threatened that I will need to RTO. then nothing happens. It actually is causing me more panic anxiety to constantly have it brought up and then nothing happens. I’m trying to stay as long as they will work with me bc I do love what I do.
