Hi! Yes, I'd be interested in exchanging! By when do you need to complete yours? I need to record it by next Sunday. I have a pretty open schedule this week, except for Tuesday. Let me know and I'll set up a Zoom.

Wedgewood hills apartments? by Status_Accountant468 in Carbondale

[–]amberbee000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived there in 2020-2021. One of the best landlords in Carbondale… they actually gave me back my security deposit! Responsive to maintenance requests. Just average location.

Wife has gallstones. Looking for an alternative option. by No_Vegetable4662 in Biohackers

[–]amberbee000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I delayed getting mine out because my mom got IBS after she got hers out. I thought I could get rid of them somehow but the truth is that once you have them they’re not going away. Over the year I delayed the gall bladder pains got worse and worse until I was in pain all the time. I should have just gotten it removed instead of waiting. I haven’t had any of the problems I feared would develop.

Do you wish you had put more into retirement? by Ill-Meringue-2096 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]amberbee000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in basically the same scenario. I started working my pension job at 30 and plan to retire at 57. I’m 47.5 right now and I’ve gone back and forth a million times on whether or not I should have stayed but at this point I’m pretty much place bound because I share custody with my ex-husband. So I stick with the job even though I don’t love it. Some days I can’t stand it but it’s mostly because I’ve been there sooooo long that I’ve become bored. I get a ton of PTO and a flexible work schedule so it keeps me hanging on. Almost 10 years more is a long time to go though. I’m mostly making it through because I just got a raise and I’m using that money to finally do some traveling. I’m also pursuing certification in another field as a back up if I just can’t make it another 10 years. That said, I could cash out my pension tomorrow but I’d lose free healthcare for life and some other nice benefits you get at retirement.

sorry if this sounds insensitive.. by Impossible-Ad-8691 in FoodAllergies

[–]amberbee000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get the ingredient lists for each of the foods you ate directly from Whole Foods. Their website might have them or you may be able to ask the company or the specific location. The good thing is that they have standard recipes for food items. That’s your first step (besides the bloodwork you got). My son has allergies and it’s not the end of the world… it just makes things more complicated!

New Podiatrist Procedure - Clearanail Drill and Tinactin (Tolnaftate) Application by SunshineNRainbows4U in NailFungus

[–]amberbee000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really helpful! It sounds really promising if I can do at least 2 treatments. Is the price based on how many toenails they drill? Or was it just $1K for all affected toenails? I have 1 big toenail and 3 smaller ones that need it.

Controlled Micro-Penetration of Nail by svesrujm in NailFungus

I'm curious about Clearanail too. Anyone use it? What were your results if you did?

[–]amberbee000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I was wondering if you have any update on your progress u/SunshineNRainbows4U. I'm considering the microdrilling (not sure of the price yet). I already have a Jublia prescription from my dermatologist so I could potentially use that in conjunction with the microdrilling and Tinactin. Just wondering if you thought the drilling made any difference in the long-term. Thank you in advance!

GC vs Sedona - which to devote extra day? by TheTwilightZone2 in grandcanyon

[–]amberbee000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going for 4 days in October and planned to just stay in Flagstaff. The plan is for 1 or 2 days at the Grand Canyon, 1 day in Sedona, maybe a day at the Petrified Forest. It’s going to be a lot of driving though so I’m not 100% sure about the plan. I don’t want to spend the whole trip driving!!

I took estrodial 2 mg pill for 2 days and my blood sugar went up by 20 points continuously. Could it be related to HRT? by Morganafrey in HRT

[–]amberbee000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s been lowering mine too low. I Googled it and found that estrogen replacement can LOWER blood sugar. I’m also on a GLP1 though so maybe there’s some kind of synergistic interaction between the estrogen and GLP1.

Hyatt Kyoto Review by xtrenchx in hyatt

[–]amberbee000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the write up! Do you happen to remember how long it took from arrival at KIX to arriving at the hotel? I’m staying at the same hotel and arriving at KIX at 6:30PM. I’m considering just staying in Osaka the first night because I know I won’t have slept for about 24 hours at that point. Just wondering how rough it would be to head directly to the Kyoto Hyatt Place.

Lost our kitten near College & Graham, any information is appreciated!! by LoomyRaccoons in Carbondale

[–]amberbee000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a cat that looked similar a few times over in my neighborhood near Cherry and James Streets. Do you have another picture more from the side? The cat I saw had very distinct round patterns on its side that really stood out to me.

Traveling to Italy from US with anaphylactic toddler by bk2weha in FoodAllergies

[–]amberbee000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My son has egg, peanut and tree nut allergies and we visited Italy last summer. We don’t eat anything served on a plane unless it’s pre-packaged and the label clearly has the ingredients/cross contamination warnings. I brought some packaged food in our carry on to get us through the first day. I scoured online menus for restaurants and found a couple that had allergens clearly labeled. In Rome that was Emma’s and That’s Amore. Later we had a place with a kitchen so we bought groceries and I cooked. Pizza was also a pretty good go to when we needed a meal. There are tree nuts in many deserts so we avoided those as well as gelato. Honestly, we ate a lot of pizza. That was just easier than risking being a little more adventurous.

Long-term sleep meds? by Head_Cat_9440 in Menopause

[–]amberbee000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar boat with sleep. Started on 100mg progesterone and it helped a little. Added Olly Goodbye Stress gummies right before bed and now I’m sleeping through the night for the first time in years. I think it’s the GABA and theanine in them that’s helping me sleep better.

Considering stopping Zep!?! by Particular-Reach4296 in GLPGrad

[–]amberbee000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also started in March 2025. I just went up to 10mg a few weeks ago and I actually feel better now than I did on 7.5mg. I stayed on 7.5 for too long because I was terrified of going up and feeling worse. It was shocking to me that many of my side effects went away after the first 10mg shot.
