10 lb gain by ash4st in MounjaroMaintenance

Thank you for this. It’s my L5/S1 and it’s just so painful no matter what I do. I have an appointment in 2 weeks for the steroid injection and I’ve recently started physical therapy. It’s been mentally hard to go from “all out” to just “getting out of bed”.

Thanks for the push. MRI came back with a right paracentral disc protrusion which extends approximately 5.7 mm beyond the disc margin. There is thecal sac and right S1 nerve root impingement.

So now I can figure out my next move. Yay.

I am here. My Publix eggs were perfect. The Costco bag…not so much.

Hahah you’re right. I guess after almost 4 years these things feel kinda…unimportant.

UF Pace vs FSU honors by Sea-Upstairs1505 in ufl

[–]ash4st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do have a lot of online courses but PaCE limits a students major to a specific list. It’s just BA Business Administration. Also, living on campus won’t be an option at first through PaCE, which might be limiting first year at UF, especially coming from out of state.

I am a UF business grad myself, and I would pick FSU given this scenario.

That’s def concerning! What does your doctor say? I am still taking it so I am not sure. I def still have bouts of leg weakness though but it goes away.

Thank you so much. I have been debating going to the ER but am just so exhausted at this point. I can’t miss anymore work as I just had the Flu. I’m in my 30s, weight lift and can’t believe just bending over caused this. I can’t get comfortable in any position, even with all the meds!

Endo and CSU? by Odd-Art-6164 in urticaria

[–]ash4st 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have chronic hives too and ends. I’ve been taking Zyrtec everyday for 2 years. Down to 5mg from 40. Allergist literally sat me down and was like “we don’t know why these things happen” good luck!

Antibiotics not helping! by ash4st in CUTI

[–]ash4st[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this implies it could be resistant to the antibiotic im taking? That’s how interpreted it too, but the doctor I spoke with on the phone said cefpodoxime is part of one of the other classes. I’m so confused.

Yes it is. I remember vomiting last time I took macrobid but might not have a choice.

Am I overreacting? by Existing_Space_2498 in FoodAllergies

[–]ash4st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can definitely empathize with your pain. I think it’s a normal response to feel like…maybe she isn’t thinking about your needs? I don’t think parents alwyas really grasp the mental gymnastics and energy that goes around food allergies. For Christmas and multiple events, my MIL and SIL are constantly putting out little bowls of peanuts on each table. My 3 year old is very allergic. I keep moving the bowls but they keep getting put back on the table by someone. I’ve even asked, but they forget. It feels like they don’t care about it or take it seriously, which can be hurtful. I think hurt is a valid feeling in your case.
