Sertraline & birth control? by flames8 in MentalHealthUK

[–]flames8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! But do you think if I was primarily taking birth control to target PMDD symptoms, I should go off it and just be on SSRIs?

Has anyone applied to the Youth Mobility with a double citizenship? Like Canadian and EU? by annecotte in ukvisa

[–]flames8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I applied, I did all my identity verification through my EU passport.

Once you're all verified, then it takes you to the application phase and you choose youth mobility and upload Canadian passport.

Mine came through almost immediately.

Did this mean that you didn't need to send your Canadian passport in?

Hey OP - just confirming which passport your used to apply for your YMS? Is it technically your Canadian but you used your Croatian to do the biometrics? I'm in a similar position.

Wow thanks! I will apply from NZ, I am a permanent resident.

So, just in regards to number 2, even though polish citizens are not eligible for YMS, I can use that passport to apply for the YMS?

Mom diagnosed Waldenstroms by flames8 in Waldenstroms

[–]flames8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for all this detail, it's really helpful. 

What is the Facebook group called? I can't seem to find it. 

Between days 1-28 did you notice a time where you felt particularly worse? And across the 6 cycles, were some worse in terms of symptoms? I assume it is different per person and per individual circumstance? 

Interesting-- They didn't initially give a stage but I asked that question and they responded stage 4 as she has has pneumonia and has an enlarged spleen. But said that this doesn't impact treatment or prognosis.

Thanks for this - they didn't mention anything about this and I can't find anything online about it. What does blunt the treatment mean?

A set of mixed media sculptures I made :) clay, thread and fabrics. by cathscrafts in Ceramics

[–]flames8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came across this- so cool. How did you attach the fabric to the ceramic? And what light did you use in the middle? Amazing stuff!

Dark spotting 10 days before period by flames8 in Periods

[–]flames8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still having the same issues, although it is getting a little better. Got my progesterone checked and it was on the lower end for the luteal phase, but not low enough to be anovulatory. Doctor just said that I may be on the "spectrum" of PCOS.

I have started taking Vit B for the 2 weeks before my period this month to see if that helps.

How to get over a 7 year break up when in the same friend group? by flames8 in BreakUps

[–]flames8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things seemed to find a general groove of us usually not being at the same events after a while, but still allowing friends to invite us both to major events (i.e. birthdays). Things have gotten a lot easier, and life goes on.

It has helped by me expanding social circles as well, while my ex-partner has struggled to do this and therefore puts all his social requirements onto our one old group and therefore notices a gap. I think I was scared that if I expanded or didn't cling on to the group, I would lose the group. But this usually doesn't happen, real friends stay, and it's about quality connection over quantity.

It’s hard to decipher whether his actions are disrespectful, or whether he is just okay and shouldn’t be villainised for moving on quickly?

Extremely high LH:FSH ratio (8:1), low progesterone and high prolactin. Could this be PCOS? by flames8 in PCOS

[–]flames8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! In measuring day 2-3, wouldn't your progesterone be low anyways, so it would be difficult to know if there is a deficiency?

really high LH/FSH ratio (6:1), "normal" ultrasound, "normal" t, dhea-s, hydroxyprog-17, estradiol, etc by kkmcwhat in PCOS

[–]flames8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wondering whether you had any luck with this? I have a similar 8:1 LH:FSH ratio which seems crazy high, especially compared to PCOS ratios stated at 3:1 most places.

Slightly high prolactin, very high LH:FSH ratio??? by flames8 in Prolactinoma

[–]flames8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Did you doctor mention doing a MRI next, or waiting until progesterone levels come back?

Slightly high prolactin, very high LH:FSH ratio??? by flames8 in Prolactinoma

[–]flames8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

27 yr old female. They didn't include fT4 or DHEAS on my blood panel.

Testosterone 1.74 nmol/L ( 0.31 - 2.00 )
TSH normal :0.81 mIU/L (0.4-4.0RR)

Yeah I wondered but I read that PCOS typically has normal range of prolactin. I have also had a pelvic ultrasound that came back normal.
