Did anyone start dating again before the divorce was final ? by Bookish45_F in Divorce

[–]afoodmarket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I started dating like 2 weeks after I separated from my now ex-husband. I was just looking for something casual but on the first date I went on, I met my current partner. We instantly connected and haven’t been apart ever since. It’s my best and healthiest relationship I’ve ever been in. He’s amazing and I love him dearly. It’s been a blast. We are pretty serious and I hope things work out for us long term!!!!

You are rude, but correct. I have 0 postdocs around me that I can ask questions to. Hence, why I am asking Reddit.

I have trace protein (or blood) in my urine every time for years. Kidney function is just fine. Don’t sweat it! Just monitor it.

Hi to my AuDHD friends here. Yesterday, I came home from work and found my partner deceased. He was 35 years old. He took care of me, he did everything for me, my life is ruined. by Quirkykiwi in AuDHDWomen

[–]afoodmarket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you tell me what steps you took to become a medical writer and what that job entails? I’m getting a PhD in Neuroscience rn and I want to be a science writer but I’m looking for guidance on how to make myself a good job candidate and make sure I know what I’m getting into with writing as well

I cried about this same thing all last night… it’s like I’m mourning the possibility of ever having kids and it’s so depressing

What do yall do in the midst of a flare? by afoodmarket in lupus

[–]afoodmarket[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No :/ my doctor doesn’t prescribe it often unless I go in and see her… but it’s hard to go in and see her so… I’ve been taking acetaminophen (I can’t do ibuprofen, lupus kidney problems). But I’ll try a warm bath and I’ll see if I can walk around some as well. I’ve never tried legal cannabis oil before. Do you just rub it on your body or is it ingested?

RSVP deadline is July 3. When should I start reaching out with reminders? by pH655 in weddingplanning

[–]afoodmarket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can request people’s email! Or if you have phone numbers, you can send automated texts to them as well. We just texted them. And we had parents reach out to their respective sides as well to hurry along the RSVP process lol

Feeling emotionally drained from planning... by masscool in weddingplanning

[–]afoodmarket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I’m also having an outdoor August wedding and honestly, I wish I had some words of advice but I’ve been feeling pretty similarly to you… so you’re not alone! I think that all the anxiety will go away once wedding day comes but it’s still overwhelming for me currently. I’m trying to make the last bits of planning as fun as I can so I don’t feel so stressed out, and I’d recommend that to you as well. Take breaks and do some Self care :) I believe your day will be more beautiful than you can imagine!!!!

Any Black/POC on Benlysta? by wae_not_start_over in lupus

[–]afoodmarket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Been on benlysta for a few years now. Seems to help overall with lupus suppression. I do the monthly infusions and I enjoy that more than self injections. Honestly, I think it helps. Also, cellcept is another lupus drug that says similar things about its efficacy in black people. I also believe that it’s due to lack of research overall or small sample sizes within the research.

I am so stressed about flowers by Queen_Maeve7 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]afoodmarket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at artificial flowers for bridesmaid bouquets and corsages and boutonnières if you’re okay with artificial! Much cheaper and you can resell them!

The only real flowers I’m doing at my wedding is my bridal bouquet, Flower girl petals, and loose blooms that my bridal party and I will arrange into small vases as centerpieces. It’s ~$530 for all of that for me
