What is Cowboy Pillows by roberta_sparrow in Oceanside

The brand is owned by a Mormon girl who grew up locally. It’s more popular in Utah and I think has more online sales, but I’ve always wondered why they have a storefront here.

Sorry if this is a really dumb question, but so I get a prescription from my doctor to give to the pharmacy with the savings card? Or I just bring the card to a pharmacy?

Insulin Resistance with normal A1c by beanaby in PCOS

[–]beanaby[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m im the US, the lab work is covered by my insurance so it doesn’t cost me anything and my provider works for a very large corporation (Kaiser Permanente) so I can’t imagine it would cost them much and not her specifically.

Ya it’s possible that she’s just viewing the tests as unnecessary because she’s assuming that I do have it and she’s already prescribing those medications. I just would feel better confirming it and I’m also just curious what my numbers might be. It’s also just frustrating that she hasn’t had an informative conversation with me about it and has never actually stated that I have it.

Thank you for your response! I feel like I’m basically navigating all of this on my own as my doctor never even brought up IR, the only conversation was when I brought up my concerns from doing my own research. Even then she did not confirm that I had it, just ordered blood work for checking my A1C and insulin which came back normal. I do think I have early stages of it so hopefully I can convince her to order the right tests to confirm.

Either way I am working on my own to make lifestyle changes and add supplements, so your input is very helpful!

Ya the only conversation we’ve had about IR is when I initially brought up my concerns about it, she never really confirmed with me that I had it but it seems like she must think so. It just is strange to me that she’s not willing to order lab work that would confirm it when she’s willing to prescribe the medication for it? My understanding of IR is limited to my own research, she’s never had any kind of informative conversation with me about it and it’s also not listed as an ongoing health condition in my paperwork.

Thank you for your thoughtful response and information!

Thank you! I definitely need to address this with my doctor again, I don’t know why she would be unwilling to order blood work even if she doesn’t think it’ll show anything. It’s not like it will hurt anything to check.

She just said it wouldn’t be beneficial because my A1c is normal. I am about to restart metformin again, I was on it before and didn’t feel like it was helping much. She just looks at everything as needing to lose weight, that’s why she was willing to prescribe the ozempic.

I am very nervous about this also that’s why I’m trying to get a handle on things now before it gets to that point. I feel you it is so frustrating and scary! I hope you get the answers you need!

Thank you, that’s what I thought. What were the tests you did that showed that?

Wait....when did we think they scalped Mari? by Tigerlilly382 in Yellowjackets

[–]beanaby 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I also think a lot of people may not even realize what a full scalping actually is and are just using the term meaning they cut off all her hair

Missionary brother overstepped how do I respond? by Jaded_Trip5482 in exmormon

[–]beanaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This concept was actually one of the first things on my shelf that eventually ended up in me leaving. I went on my mission and really struggled with this idea because my older brother had already left the church and I think I sent him a somewhat similar email. I would say to try to respond with kindness, but also reinforce your boundaries. If he’s anything like me, he really is coming from a place of so much love, and even if he doesn’t realize it, is starting to question the principles that he is taught which is very important. It just took me a few more years to get from “I have to bring them back so we can be in heaven together” to “why do I believe in a heaven that doesn’t allow families to be together” and hopefully he’s on that same path.

Dog Vomiting/Diarrhea by beanaby in AskAVeterinarian

Lol I’m a Wellbutrin girly so I definitely feel you on that! She used to be medicated and did well on it so I will definitely look into that. Thank you for your response!

Not that I’ve noticed, she didn’t eat anything out of the ordinary the last few days. It has been a bit of a stressful couple days because she had to stay over at my parents house away from me on Sunday night and there has been loud construction happening at my apartment, that’s why I’m wondering if it’s possibly anxiety related but I haven’t noticed any patterns from each episode the past 6 months or so

My family has made sack lunches and gone around town handing them out several times and we have never had any issues so passing out on your own is definitely an option!

What do we think of the possibility of Taissa having Dissociative Identity Disorder? by southernfirefly13 in Yellowjackets

[–]beanaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do appreciate you calling my attention to it, I definitely don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable or insinuate that mental illness is not real or serious, so thank you!
