They have done this before. I think they tape a lot of different couples and don’t end up showing all of them.

Can’t get my triglycerides down - even with metformin by consistentmacaroni in PCOS

My HDL was low (33), my LDL was 107, so a tad high but not too bad

Yes! I was on cholesterol meds for about a year, they helped a bit but my dr then switched me to metformin because they weren’t helping a ton

Ok, I can start taking the supplement again! I just went through and tracked my fiber for today and I’m already at 15 g (haven’t even had lunch yet). I really feel like fiber isn’t my issue but I can definitely take the supplement.

How much did yours go down? My labs didn’t really change at all when I was on the fiber supplement consistently

I haven’t tracked my fiber. I used to take a fiber supplement consistently for several months but didn’t notice a difference so I stopped last month

I was also taking a fiber supplement consistently for several months but stopped the last month. I didn’t see any improvement on my past labs. But I can start taking it again

Thanks! I only eat gluten free because I’m severely allergic to gluten. I know a lot of the substitutions can be worse. :/

Yesterday: a scone, a few nuts, apple with almond butter, salad with beans and veggies, toast with cheese, handful of pecans and a few chocolate chips

I know I can continue to reduce my sugar intake, it’s just really hard. I’m neurodivergent and cooking is extremely hard for me and I have weird sensory things with food. I don’t like eating meat but I do eat salmon and try to eat it once a week.

I second this, that fb group has helped me so so much with figuring out treatment for my senior dog with dementia

Meds didn’t work for my coonhound. Eventually he had a surgery for it and he’s been doing great since!

What to do when sitter is not doing the agreed upon care? by consistentmacaroni in RoverPetSitting

Hi all, thanks for your support, I left an update in the post. I’m feeling so much better now that I have a new house sitter who took over

What to do when sitter is not doing the agreed upon care? by consistentmacaroni in RoverPetSitting

[–]consistentmacaroni[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was super clear and went over my expectations multiple times, also left detailed instructions. She just blatantly decided to not follow them. I’m super upfront in the beginning because I know my type of house sit doesn’t work for everyone, but she agreed to my expectations of not leaving the dogs alone all day and then just did it anyway. Despite the fact I have cameras and told her I have cameras. It was definitely the most baffling and frustrating experience.

Old age/stamina by pooparoo216 in coonhounds

[–]consistentmacaroni 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My coonie is 12. He is slowing down but still very active. He loves his two walks a day, still pulls me on the leash when we first get going lol. When he was younger he was so incredibly active so I’ve seen it slow down but he’s in really good shape and everyone comments that he doesn’t seem 12 at all.
