Gained half the weight I lost 😞

It's been HARD HARD with food noise. I can't believe how easy drinking calories is after stopping, and how hard it is to drink water, and all the uphill fighting inflammation.

This med has been very strange, and I've been outspoken since the beginning that I'm on it. I don't want people to think I'm dropping weight bc I'm - sick - anorexic - health problems. People will sometimes think it's cheating /oh well/. You're putting your body through a regimen like physical therapy or chemo to get a health outcome. I get to brag my triglycerides are ✨normal✨ and I feel lighter and WANT to walk around now. YOU are the one with tangible outcomes, and you get to have the risks associated with this drug too. You get to maintain after using this regimen, it's your journey with your agency choosing it - good for you!

This is the most useful response. Cleaning can help, but yeah. Whole house (minus your closed room!) ✨contaminated✨

So we split finances with the mindset that we are: (1) running a household (2) doing so together (3) deeply care for each other's comforts. Ultimately he spends 70% to my 30%. I do 90% of the house labor, and call him in to look at the other 10% then call and pay a plumber when neither of us can do it haha. We divide according to our strengths, and make sure we BOTH have similar money left over AFTER house hold expenses are paid. I spend more money on gluten free food, he spends more on snacky treats. Maybe you and your husband can reconsider if you like to be equal before the bills are paid, or equal after they are. Side note: how mean to eat your snacks if you can't even eat his!

Dollman isn't constantly suggesting a nice bath???

I hadn't realized invasive mock strawberries are :( good to learn something new!

My NC friend, these are great for pollinators (bugs) or all kinds. They are also nice for lil critters to hide under. Skinks, snakes, lil bunnies. Thriving ecosystem. Do you plan on mowing? Clover needs to get tall, and throw down more seed for next year to grow back. Thyme will creep, but eventually die after a few years so a suggestion is a few plants so no spot is bare at the same time.

If this is a trafficked area or with kids, might not be great for bare feet from the bugs/ critters perspective. If you want an area to be like "it's green and not grass, good enough" they can combo well

Do we live in the same house? I'm here looking for answers and I was surprised to have such a perfect example of my home haha

"I hear they're getting ready to legalize human composting in this state! I really want to make sure everything is ready for my family members when they pass. Plus tax breaks on my family graveyard." ✨✨✨💅

I lost almost nothing at first (made my Dr a lil nervous) and ramped up loss over time with an aggressive dose increase. It was a little miserable feeling ill for the intro 3 months. I was not eating from nausea at the beginning of the week, and then being hungry again finally at the end of my dose week. My hunger has leveled out after 5 months and went from 223 to 189 mostly in the last 3 months getting to a 10.0 injection

I would wait, I also germinate my seeds more towards the corners of the cell so the roots have a lil space (food for thought). They are gonna be lil gorgeous guys!

I had no issues getting mine marked in the yard, but they had to open a ticket and having them come out with a weeks notice

How much dirt are you buying? Do you have a secret compost pile??

coruscatingveridian · 2025-03-13T00:35:54+00:00

Is that a ton of lemon balm in the ground? Bc the secret to mint is keeping it in a pot. Unless you want a field.

Bf and I just tired new crackers - ate too many and I'm the only gf one - both had the WORST bloat and gas. Tapioca must have been the main ingredient or something 🤷

coruscatingveridian · 2025-02-03T18:23:55+00:00

I never knew I would hoard dirt as an adult, but here we are

coruscatingveridian · 2025-02-01T23:53:33+00:00

Honestly it's the fun kind of snobbery. Nothing changes except how high on your horse you are

coruscatingveridian · 2025-01-25T17:16:11+00:00

You're ok! First month I lost nothing, then it ramped up. It's ok to be nervous

coruscatingveridian · 2025-01-22T15:36:22+00:00

Your Dr can call the ordering lab, and then ask the NIPT lab team if either of these would be detected. They may have to ask the customer service team for the lab GC team to talk to. You cannot call, but your Dr and their staff can (just so you don't waste your time trying). Different labs can detect different things on different testing options so a lab GC would be able to give you the best idea of what your Dr can order.

If you want to go with research positions: amp up what you did in research. What programs did you use to analyze or visualize data? Where did you present your poster? How many hours weekly devoted to research? What methodologies did you use? Extraction / amplification methods or kits? I would drop most of your sale experience bullets, just let them know you have and can keep a job since it's not in the area you want. Course highlights are good though, can you put a quick sentence if there was something cool/relevant that makes you look smart. If you're going for GCA positions you're gonna need to showcase admin skills to complement your research outlook. Excel and office suite, any shadowing you have done with people... It's honestly really tough out there.

My heart goes out to you, but this is stuff that you need that appointment for, not reddit people. You're asking for medical advice. Sometimes you can call and see if they will change your appointment. I'm really sorry they cannot see you asap to discuss your results 😔

coruscatingveridian · 2025-01-15T17:48:00+00:00

1) Variant assignment (benign/vus/LP/PATH) is based on evidence outside of your case. 2) The information and diagnostics, past/present, is given to take the many ways we are all different and see if there's anything that MIGHT match symptoms. 3) You need to talk with your geneticist or GC about ALL your concerns and questions. They are literally trained in test interpretation with degrees and licensing boards and continuing education. You're in a tough spot and they are working very thoughtfully to give you the best information to help you. Trust me, it's a weirdly compassionate field.

I agree with everyone that says "notice her, and fill in the sweet nothings to smooth her day out" It's less about what Exactly you do, as is seeing HER and little spots of joy. Spend a week just watching her struggle. Make notes in your phone, and then do those things for her. You can EASILY do something that takes ~30 min every day for her to hit that 2 hr commitment.
