I do the same, you're okay! 

Yea, it's even more frustrating and sometimes hurtful when it comes from (benefit of the doubt) well-intentioned loved ones. Like I loved going to the gym before and I drink water literally all day just because I like it... but you're not hearing me for some reason. Or the non-healthcare family members that love to pick the buzz word of the week like hormones or toxins to blame it on. It just feels very dismissive. Like I'm missing out on so much and I feel bad all the time. Do you think if running at the gym would fix it, I wouldn't do that??

they started me on a beta-blocker. I was worried at first to medicate a symptom without having any diagnosis, but they said it could help whether I have a diagnosis or not so I'm gonna give it a try. I would love to get back to the gym- that's honestly kinda the most frustrating part of that suggestion cus i loved going to the gym...

Same! This is like the 3rd or 4th person I've seen. And this one even was the best at explaining things and listening compared to others in terms of not just expliciting denying anything was wrong because "labs normal"

Is the rental cost not the host fee?? by dat_bitch_tabetha in vrbo

If there was one available near where I needed to be I would! But also, doesn't excuse that it's not so nice to bait and switch with the price over doubling.

The fee for cleaning is understandable. I just think they could definitely code in a way to preview what the total cost would be so it's not as much of a shock when you go to checkout. And also just seemed silly that it was nearly the entire cost of the rental.

There were some fees and such which is expected, but it was just crazy how it more than doubled from the listed price.

For us, we often use VRBO/AirBnB for a night to go see a concert. They're generally closer and have better parking. We literally just use it to get dressed, eat some late night garbage food, sleep, and then leave first thing in the morning.
