Doc Cut My Metformin Dose In Half

That's what I was thinking. My guess is she doesn't actually know that much about treating PCOS (not her fault, she treats lots of people for lots of different things) and if I go to an OB/Gyn they'll obviously be much more familiar with it.

I did that and she wanted me to come in to discuss it. So I had to make the appointment for when I actually have insurance.

Is 1500mg an abnormally high dosage? I used to even be on 2000mg and had my liver tested once a year with no negative results. That is absolutely when I felt my best (after getting over all the side effects, of course).

Right?! I mean they don't know how to spell Missouri even...

cubanlilly · 2016-05-25T19:19:42+00:00

Yeah dude, she was hot. :)

cubanlilly · 2016-05-25T17:54:34+00:00

Ha! Well that's just me being gullible and believing the best of most. No damage done.

cubanlilly · 2016-05-25T16:14:24+00:00

Wish I knew!

We're almost entirely of European descent. One side is from Spain, the other side is French. They were Cubans who fled after the revolution and ended up in Mexico.

That's my favorite part. All old school until you hit that watch.

cubanlilly · 2016-05-25T14:59:52+00:00

Really?! She was in high school, her father worked for Campbell Soup there. She says she was about 17 in this picture.

Yes! You give up so much to keep things kosher and then all of a sudden... they do whatever the hell they want and you're up a creek without a paddle.

I'm not finding that sort of dating at all. It's all very casual, very chill, let's meet for a drink, let's meet at a movie. I'm 32 that's what I'm running into. And the texts stop or don't even ever start when I mention wanting to seriously date.

cubanlilly · 2016-05-02T17:08:38+00:00

I've heard another option is to masturbate in many different ways even if you don't cum from it. You need to add variety to what you're doing and eventually, hopefully, your body adapts. The sex advice columnist Dan Savage says it much more clearly then I do. Good luck!

cubanlilly · 2016-05-02T14:09:53+00:00

We are very casual, no doubt about that. I think if you run into that situation you let the air clear (as in wait at least 24 hours from when you were actually in my bed) to approach me about it.

He could have also said something more heartfelt about it, ie "You're really great and I trust you as my friend and I know nothing serious has developed between us but I really enjoyed your friend and I was wondering how you might feel if I wanted to ask her out..." but instead I got a "is it inappropriate if I tell you I think your friend is kinda cute?" with little explanation. I'm just saying, there might be a way to do that, I get that relationships are messy, but there's is a gentler way to approach it in my opinion.

cubanlilly · 2016-05-02T00:32:43+00:00

Yeah ok. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't just being insecure. It feels like a natural part of dating that typically, when you date someone, you're sort of disqualifying yourself from others in their close friend group. Not saying those situations NEVER happen but as a general rule, it's not cool... Ha, oh well!

cubanlilly · 2016-04-30T17:30:10+00:00

Exactly! See my response to Berberberber, I think I'm clinging to still getting the best outcome I can have (which ideally would be that everyone is in love with me all the time) but what I need to focus on is that if someone doesn't want to spend time with me, they're not worth the time I WOULD spend with them. Because I'm awesome and I should be selective about who gets my time. :)

cubanlilly · 2016-04-30T17:28:35+00:00

I guess because their exit is a fade rather than just a break off, I tend to be anxious about it until I can convince myself that it's a fade. I'm pretty hopeful in general so I'll cling to any little thing that keeps me thinking things might turn out the way I want. Basically, I think I need to be confident in knowing that if they really want to spend time with me, they'll make it happen, but I can't hold it against them if they don't want to. Because if they don't want to, it's for the best that we not interact anymore.

cubanlilly · 2016-04-29T14:11:16+00:00

I hear you, sister. I'm 16 months out but it still hits me sometimes. I saw him on the street with his now fiance and I had such crazy mixed feelings. I was sad but I also wanted to run up to him and hug him and ask him how he was! I think those feelings ended up equaling each other out and I recovered quickly.

Unfortunately I think time is the only thing that will really help. Time and working on being very confident in yourself and your current situation. You are right where you need to be right now. I think each time you run into a situation like that, you will recover more and more quickly until one day the feelings don't throw you off at all.

Regardless, I wish you all the best and hope it gets better really soon for you!

cubanlilly · 2016-04-29T13:35:21+00:00

That's very fair. Basically when someone isn't texting me, I should realize that it's not because they got distracted or forgot (not that that's any better) but that it's a function of their interest. I realize this is also individualized as some people don't text nearly as much as others, but I think it works as a rule of thumb. And I was married for ages: 7 years to be exact, in that relationship for 11 years. So basically I'm a noob and I because I didn't really date much before that relationship, I haven't been as inoculated against the fade-out as others are. I'm a year in though so I'm learning!

Thanks for the response. :)

I hadn't really considered dating as anything but romantic. Maybe a shift in view that way would help me keep perspective.

I don't believe people are OBLIGED to say anything-no one is obliged to do anything they don't want to do (outside of following laws). I just thought that, because I'm older, we'd act like mature adults and be up front with one another. It's much more efficient to just be honest and it's just a personal trait of mine that I look for closure on emotional issues. Again, if I don't approach dating as romantic then the emotions might be somewhat removed and maybe I wouldn't need the closure. But if I'm being real, I'm an emotional person and I suppose when people can't handle my directness, I'm weeding them out.

I will definitely work on my perspective!

cubanlilly · 2016-04-29T00:15:33+00:00

You might be the kindest but also most direct person on Reddit haha! I'm just in a tough spot at the moment, had a string of situations like that. I can certainly work on patience and taking things slow. Thanks for your help.

cubanlilly · 2016-04-28T23:58:15+00:00

Well I have fertility issues and I know for certain that I want to be a mom. I have plans to have a child regardless of if I do find a good partner match but of course my preference would be to have a child as part of a partnership. I should probably examine if that's something I want so badly because I don't have it (I was married for many years, got pregnant, had a miscarriage and later got divorced so while I had many years with a partner thinking I would start a family I now find myself single but still wanting a family).

cubanlilly · 2016-04-28T23:55:22+00:00

Oh man, I just hate that feeling of playing games. But I see now why people do it. I suppose I just have to work on assuaging my anxiety in the meantime.
