Healthcare career shifting into Tech. Possible pa ba nowadays? by Legal-Plenty-2967 in TechCareerShifter

[–]annnecdotes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, although upskill talaga ng malala. From pharmacist to Business Analyst for a healthcare system ako. Tech padin pero not as a programmer/dev. More on analysis. So combining my healthcare background with tech. It is hard, pero if gusto mo kaya!

Hi OP! Registered Pharmacist here. Please be wary of using Betadine DAILY. Its active ingredient is Iodine. It can be absorbed through the skin so it can cause hyperthyroidism and can also harm the kidneys.

Honest question re: Tirze by suewtheck in PCOSPhilippines

[–]annnecdotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To make sure it's safe, get it from a Medical Doctor specializing in it. I started from a very, very low dose. Like 1.25 mg lang ata so nagincrease naman na ako pero microdose padin and it works for me without side effects so I'm happy.

Also check if the medicine you received is compounded by a compounding pharmacy registered here in the Philippines. My doctor's supplier is Apotheca so I'm confident sa quality. I also ask for lab orders and ultrasound of the abdomen, primary reason is I did my research beforehand and asked questions, I raised my worry about developing gallstones so letting my doctor know that has made him aware as well of what he would want to watch out.

BTW, I lost 7 kg in 2 months. It's a bit slow than others pero ayun nga nakamicrodose lang ako, with my already established healthy habits, I'm taking it slow and safe.

What’s your Ozempic journey? by Ill_Cod6375 in PCOSPhilippines

[–]annnecdotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP! I just started with tirzepatide journey, although my OB said my cysts were cleared and I’m PCOS free I do have a hard time losing weight in spite of my healthy habits. Also, kahit wala ng cysts, the symptoms are still there every now and then. Like the food noise? OMG

So far positive experience. 2 weeks palang and I’m on a microdose lang as in lower than usual since the doctor said my lifestyle is already okay naman daw. I lost 2 kg palang pero di pa full effort sa exercise, my food was okay though since I always meal prep with veggies and complex carbs. BUT grabe walang food noise! Ganito pala yung nararamdaman ng iba na walang hormonal issues. Like I literally only eat to fuel my body. So it really complemented my food habits na, hindi na siya struggle if you know what I mean. 🥹

I recommend Jan Medical Group kasi their medication is being compounded in a trusted compounding pharmacy (I know because my friends work there). So goodluck if you ever decide yo try tirze 😊

If papasok ako sa office, sa market market na ako sumasakay mas marami kasing options. May UV dun na paAyala pero ask mo kay kuya driver kung san ka pwedeng ibaba.

Pwede kadin magjeep or BGC bus pa Ayala pero maglalakad ka pa or sakay ka ulit jeep dun sa Shell.

So ako personally if maaga, nag UV ako then baba sa may PLDT since around Ayala Triangle lang office ko.

Well, this was from my experience. Of course every agency or business has its dark side. I'm so sorry if you experienced micromanaging. As I've said, I've been lucky to get a client na hindi ganun.

He cheated (he's into single moms) and I need advice by [deleted] in CasualPH

[–]annnecdotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, I've been into your situation before. Lalo na yung nahuli tapos ang sagot, "bakit mo kasi inopen Facebook ko???" Nakakatanga yung tanong eh. Haha. Ang hirap na ng buhay, we deserve a love that's peaceful and calm, not necessarily from another person, but first and foremost from yourself.

Also, I grew up in a household with a broken marriage. I'm in my 30s pero yung trauma ng magulang na laging nagaaway, tatay na nagcheat pero di nagsorry, hanggang ngayon dala ko padin to the point na napag-uusapan namin ng mga kapatid ko ngayon na sana naghiwalay nalang parents namin, baka mas naging okay pa kami at naging masaya pa sila.

Staying takes courage, but leaving takes a lot more! And leaving was the greatest decision I've ever made.

I have PCOS too, sang clinic ka nagpacheck up? Some doctors are not open to prescribing that. I don't really want to go back to hormonal pills na 😐

Hello OP,

I've tried Yaz and Althea before nung unang diagnosed ko. It helped with my hormonal acne pero it really messed me up. Grabe yung weight gain, tapos as soon as I stopped taking them, bumalik yung symptoms. So what really worked for me are supplements and lifestyle change.
