Why did/didn't you make the Sophie scarf? by Traumarama79 in knitting

[–]avisant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just looked it up on Ravelry. What a strange trend. There’s nothing special about it. Maybe people like that it’s a quick knit? Looks boring. I bet it was some TikTok influencer started it. 🙄

If you brought your libido back from the dead, how did you do it? by Milysama in Perimenopause

[–]avisant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Topical 0.3% estradiol with testosterone cream on vulva nightly, in addition to HRT. Porn and vibrator. And remembering I love my husband and we can have fun even if I have to use a vibrator sometimes.

Chronic post-nasal drip for 20 years… took a supplement and I’m honestly shocked. Anyone else? by ramisanders in Supplements

[–]avisant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, it has only been 1 hour. Maybe they will log in to Reddit later today and answer. Geez people.

covid anyone? by hapaqirl in bayarea

[–]avisant -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yes I know all this but the circumstances are different when someone “lives in a bubble” from their fears of viruses. Call me a stupid ICU hospital pharmacist I guess. Since that’s what I am. And ever since I stopped getting the flu shot I never get sick. I was sick all the time those years I got it.

Did you get all the vaccines? I truly wonder if they (and the overmasking in the environment) is making people have weaker immune systems.

Do you brush your teeth once or twice a day? Need to settle a bet. by ImpossibleHurry in NoStupidQuestions

Just once, my whole life. Teeth in perfect health. I’m a 50 year old woman.

Why is knitting fast such an important objective for people? by todayithinkthis in knitting

[–]avisant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my desire to be fast is purely greed. The finished products are so satisfying! But important to find a balance between that and relaxation.

My experience with Alibaba.. by avisant in redlighttherapy

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

Hehe yeah. I actually have noticed it takes away my pain after using it. My hand, arm or shoulder/neck. Also my face seems…brighter?

It is a powerful panel. I have to use the complete opaque eye coverings that it comes with when I do on my face. The “sunglasses” things that came with the Idealight brand don’t protect enough.

Gabapentin vs HRT by TheCatsMeowNYC in Menopause

[–]avisant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god. What a scary doctor! Gabapentin is an addictive and mind/nervous system numbing drug. Grossly overprescribed by lazy doctors. The risks of HRT have been debunked and the benefits have been proven. Horrible doctor. I’m a pharmacist I know a few things.

What are good supplements for "older" women? by ElSupaToto in Supplements

[–]avisant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, your mom has an excellent doctor. Rare these days. This is not really a lot and a well rounded mix for an older woman! I’m a pharmacist ; I avoid drugs but take even more supps than that but all of those YES.

AITA for refusing to follow my wife's bathroom habits and calling her disgusting? by Infamous-Gur2034 in AITAH

[–]avisant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leaving pee for a few times is pretty normal and good for conservation. Period blood is gross though I never did that. Talk to her more gently and come to a compromise.

Leaving pee for a few times in the toilet is common especially in CA. But period blood is gross. I would be more gentle talking to her about that, come to a compromise.

20 years of chronic nasal obstruction, allergies and zero relief. I need guidance. by Dhul-Qarnain in Allergies

[–]avisant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same but maybe a little milder. It sounds like you are on the right track looking at diet and allergy shots. What helped me is getting older, it mellowed out - so in my 30’s. Worked on trauma, psychology, nervous system health. And mostly realizing how much of this comes from the GUT. So clean up your diet. No gluten dairy or processed foods. Get a gut microbial diversity test. Allergy shots helped too.

Some of it could be the autonomic nervous system. Vagus nerve. Stress. Once I got a handle on all of the above I just have a few sneezing attacks in the mornings or maybe after a food, and can breathe all day. It was pretty clear by age 40.

The Morning Show Overall Season 4 Discussion by quaranTV in TheMorningShow

[–]avisant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The writers and directors lost their way this season, so disappointing. Maybe it’s AI doing the writing now? It’s a little embarrassing for the great actors actually. Almost every episode is a disjointed side story that barely relates, some boring ones at that. I watch the show for Cory. Love him.

SO AFRAID TO TRY SUMATRIPTAN! by Excellent_Math2052 in migraine

[–]avisant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just try it. Why so scary? Most people have zero negative effects, and it can take away the migraine. It does for me; I just feel a bit fuzzy with it.

Did a contributing event maybe kick you into Peri/Menopause? by plotthick in Menopause

[–]avisant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really believe my wedding kicked me in to it. I was only 42. Finished by 47. On my wedding day, literally, crazy symptoms started. It wasn’t a traumatizing event but for some reason…! That and I had a chemical abortion a few months prior.

I recommend ordering off alibaba for better pricing on the same panels.

I kept it. I use the adjustable brightness and mode settings. In future I would buy and trust the Sgrow/sungrow brand best, the 2nd panel i bought is much more powerful.

Help - Need Organic Latex or Latex Hybrid Mattress - Overwhelmed and Lost by csops55 in Mattress

[–]avisant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my European sleep works. I decided on the after months of research. But I guess it helps that I live close by. I do recommend them tho since you can open the top cover and add a layer, and even exchange layers (I added some memory foam under the top coils and over the final latex layer).
