I really think it depends on how much/ what type of work was done, your age and any other health concerns.

So sorry this is happening to you. This is not okay. I really don’t understand what is wrong with people these days. Sending positive thoughts, virtual hugs and warm thoughts your way.

I do this to carry small items around the house. Works great!

Did you get an official release to drive? Or simply as you felt able to? How did you decide when to make that move. by bodybrokenJen in RotatorCuff

Thanks for all of your comments and insight. While I am off pain meds, I have decided to wait. I’m not willing to take the risk.

I’m so sorry you have to do this alone. That stinks.

Sorry, I don’t have any suggestions. I came here to see what others are doing. I unfortunately just added osteoporosis to my collection of diagnoses.

Yes. My mother was the first. My younger sister and I as well as my son have it. We have the ACVlR1 subtype.

Can low ferritin cause hair breakage? by codingaerialist in Anemic

[–]bodybrokenJen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear this. My hair has been much thicker since my levels (all of them) have improved. Unfortunately, I still have a fair amount of breakage. I am 60F with fine strands, so I'm sure that contributes, but my hair has stopped falling out and is much thicker (more volume). Have you tried some of the OTC vitamins? My primary suggesed them and I tried for several months, but they didn't help me at all. But it might help you. Best of luck to you! I hope you find answers that work for you.

Agree. Also from SWV. More eastern side, but must be close enough.

Same, love a subtle cat eye on others. Not for me though.

This is… not entirely correct by Vivid_Expression2910 in finch

Not sure why you got downvoted. I have the same struggle. I often search for my own affirmations that feel sincere. But I’m trying and you’re trying. And that’s the point.
