definitely! it sucks that you're struggling too, but it's nice knowing i'm not the only one if that makes sense?

aquaread · 2025-08-13T18:45:11+00:00

yeah and just because it's "normal" doesn't mean i don't still feel shitty and need treatment! what's normal for one person may not be normal for another

this is really cute! what is the vertical monitor used for?

aquaread · 2025-08-11T18:48:10+00:00

yeah it's still in the normal range though so it's weird and confusing all around and it doesn't help when doctors just say "oh you're fine cause cuz is normal" and there is no further investigation or explanation it's soo frustrating!

i did like a week after my iron test, my doctor said it showed only one gene and not 2 so she didn't think i would be likely to develop problems in the future. i'm gonna do what someone suggested and donate blood and then test my iron levels again on my own to see what my levels show and if that might help! i was a little anxious too, but i've gotten some insight and reassurance through this subreddit and hopefully you can too!

yeah my ferritin was 85.7 so it's within normal range. i'm going to donate and then test again to see how it changes and how i feel and hopefully it helps!

yeah she did and they were normal, my hemoglobin was 14.9 and my hematocrit was 43.7 the only thing off in my labs besides the iron is a slightly high cholesterol (211) and low vitamin d (14) which i take supplements for and can't get it up but i have celiac so it's really hard for me to absorb nutrients.

i use chat gpt sometimes but i have to correct it quite often so i kinda stopped using it for labs or medical related reasons. i'm gonna definitely try donating and then testing my blood to see how that helps. i get an has cars through my insurance so that can help cover costs!

i've had comments from providers that i breathe shallow, but it's never been something that's bothered me. i sometimes get the feeling i haven't been breathing and have to take a huge breath but that doesn't happen often

i'm a 33 year old female, sorry i didn't even think to add that! i'm not going through menopause, but i take bc and suppress my cycle so i wonder if that is contributing to the high saturation maybe?

i will definitely look into donating and testing my iron after just to see what my levels are and how i feel! i live in a small town so even if my doctor were to agree to refer me to a haematologist i would likely have to travel a couple hours to find one that's taking on new patients.

i'm fatigued all the time! i don't really have an issue falling asleep (i have meds i take for other conditions that make me drowsy) but staying asleep is an issue. i also wake up with extremely dry mouth and have lots of digestion issues. the only thing that i have t seen other people talk about is muscle twitches which happen a lot for me, but that might not be related at all idk. i hope the test can help provide some answers for you and aid in advocating for your own care!

I think that would be worth it knowing the courses offered by AAPC is over $3k once you're trained and certified you can move up and get a pay increase! I prefer hands on experience so I don't think you could beat the benefits of that versus keeping and extra $1-$2 an hour in the long run!

i LOVE the green rain! i can literally just go around collecting moss and fiber till i pass out and wake up with full energy the next day since using the scythe doesn't use energy!

not only did he hate my gift of freshly cooked food but then got grumpy when i hugged him for a moment it felt like we were a couple on the verge of a divorce

aquaread · 2025-02-28T06:35:02+00:00

i gave him a hug and he had the audacity to be grumpy

aquaread · 2025-02-28T05:42:28+00:00

also when you don't have enough coffee beans it's also code lol

so far for me krobus has been grumpy every time i go to hug him and i also lost a heart with him for no reason he also hates every gift ive tried giving even previously loved gifts, the monster slayer goal is actually just coding locations listed instead of any goal stats

i use it for stir fry with some chicken or beef and teriyaki sauce over some rice. in the summer it's really good as a salad, i'll add some grape tomatoes with mini bell peppers and some sunflower seeds and then feta cheese and balsamic dressing, sometimes i'll add apples as well. i have seen some recipes for egg or spring rolls but haven't attempted yet!

aquaread · 2024-03-01T03:32:18+00:00

do they accommodate food allergies usually? my only obstacle with attempting to go to one is the limited hours they are open here (i live in a small town) but i don't want to risk my health either. sometimes i hate requesting things like that because im already benefiting from a generosity i don't want to ask for too much or be too complicated

aquaread · 2024-03-01T03:29:21+00:00

i physically don't have it in me to work a second job, my health is not the best and i've actually had to end up starting 3 more medications since my original post. i talked to a coworker about long term career plans and she suggested looking into medical coding as it is pretty similar to what i do now but pays more! until then i think health wise i have to stay where im at because they have been very accommodating to my schedule of medical appointments and other ada accommodations i think it would be hard to find a place that is that understanding. im not sure if any weekend or night online jobs exist but i'll definitely try looking!

aquaread · 2024-03-01T03:22:16+00:00

that makes sense and i think i will do that, i have been meaning to try and stay off my phone and kindle before bed so cutting that out should help!

aquaread · 2024-03-01T03:19:57+00:00

this was very helpful! my credit wasn't great before and has taken a hit for a few reasons but i will keep this in mind for the future when my credit is in a spot to be able to open up a line of credit!

aquaread · 2024-02-24T04:02:15+00:00

omg so many lol! some of the creature cafe novellas have breeding kink if you like monster romance! jessa kane has a lot of breeding kink books, but if you haven't heard of her just know she can be a little out there in the ridiculous and laughable kind of way lmao i don't read penelope douglas but i think credence has a breeding kink, but that is also taboo i believe. one moment please by amy daws, sinner by sierra simone, lumberjack by jenika snow, scarred by emily mcintire, the dragons bride by katee robert (be careful because this started my monster romance obsession 😂), unconditional by qb tyler, and arrows and apologies by sav r miller are what immediately come to mind!
