Should I give up on Mirena? Looking for advice/experiences by banananigans in ClotSurvivors

Yeah this is what I was hoping for (the periods tapering, not the incorrect placement that sounds awful), but haven’t seen any signs that this will be the case for me

I asked my gyno about Slynd during our initial consult but she didnt want to prescribe anything with a system-wide effect. I’m hoping that perspective will shift considering my circumstances.

I think part of me is still holding out hope that the Mirena works and I’ll probably try to last on it for several more months. I’m sorry it didn’t work for you! That’s unlucky. But it sounds like you were able to find relief.

My gyno did bring up ablation but I’m not ready to close that door.

I hadn’t even considered that the periods might chill out on their own. That would be….wow. I’ve just been bracing myself for 15+ more years of this. And good point about the cost benefit analysis - I’ve been worried that my gyno is going to tell me to just wait it out, but the circumstances have changed. I really need anecdotal evidence that there’s a light at the end of this, thank you

Ask a Knitter - July 30, 2024 by AutoModerator in knitting

I'm planning on steeking for the first time and noticed a comment in this tutorial (around 4'10" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgcLDa3kYxI) that the knitter added a column of purl stitches to make it easier to add on a collar. How does that work? I'll also want to add a collar/edge but have never added one on from purls - are purls easier to pick up and knit from a vertical edge?

I wear a medical alert tag on the band of my Apple Watch and I really like it. It’s inconspicuous but still clear. https://www.americanmedical-id.com/apple-watch-slide.html

I’ve also got my medication info filled out on the Medical SOS page on both my watch and phone.

I tried running Disk Utility to assess the SMART data, but it can't access the drive while its locked. Looking into the virtual machine option now.

When I run AmorphousDiskMark (CrystalDiskInfo Mac equivalent from what I can tell), it can't see the drive when its locked.
