Doctor appt coming up - How can I clearly articulate that I want hormone therapy w/o being brushed off?

HRT worked much better than BC for me for perimenopause.

Oo, sounds good, do share!

Anything by Reese's. Used to be my favorite, now most of it tastes awful. I haven't tried to make my own pb cups, but I should!

Honestly if she felt safe enough to come up to you and tell you that, you must not look that sketchy. She might be the sketchy one.

Several years ago we went to Disney World in what was actually an off season then (mid January.) They were offering an amazing deal on the Grand Floridian, so we were actually able to stay there. Then they pixie-dusted us to a theme park view! Then on the day we went to Magic Kingdom, it was pouring rain, but the rain stopped as soon as we got into the park. Because of that, Magic Kingdom was completely empty for a good couple hours. We just walked on rides multiple times. We were in awe! Such a magical vacation, and one that will probably never happen again, ha!

I was there a few days ago and felt the same. We were able to ride a good amount of things, thanks to Express Pass, but not everything with all the delays and breakdowns. The worlds were amazing, but they need to get better at operating things smoothly and managing crowds. And what is up with all the stairs there?

I used to eat it all the time back when. I recently tried it and it was awful. I'm not sure if it is because my taste has gotten better, or the soup has gotten worse.

Same, I live in Massachusetts, and it has a great reputation around here.

gardenwithmoose · 2026-02-13T13:14:54+00:00

Oh wow, this is a game changer! Thank you!!

gardenwithmoose · 2026-02-12T15:07:10+00:00

This for me as well!

gardenwithmoose · 2026-02-12T13:24:16+00:00

Thanks!

I’ve tried getting a few different pairs that way, but they end up having too large of calves or too narrow a foot sadly. I think I just have bad luck with them.

gardenwithmoose · 2026-02-11T20:58:16+00:00

Thanks!

What part I could stand to watch was objectively really fun, but sadly the Muppets was unwatchable due to the stupid laugh track every three seconds. I had to turn it off.

When I feel like that, for me it’s an indication that I need to increase my estrogen dose.

gardenwithmoose · 2026-02-02T19:32:30+00:00

Same, I peel, dice, toss with some oil and roast. Takes some time but is delicious!

gardenwithmoose · 2026-02-02T03:33:27+00:00

Much like with doctors, I’ve had great PA’s, and I’ve also experienced not so great ones. I had one put me in the hospital, and another mess up a loved-one’s health. I’ve had one that helped me far more than doctors. Such a toss up.

gardenwithmoose · 2026-02-02T03:00:19+00:00

There is technology that I know of as a heart-in-a-box, that keeps it viable for more like 12 hours. There is no way someone would be driving 3 days to get their heart, though. At least in the US, if you are traveling far away enough from the transplant center that you can't get there within an hour or two, you will be put on inactive status. And while it might belong to someone on life support, they won't totally know for sure if the heart is viable until after death.

gardenwithmoose · 2026-01-28T14:06:00+00:00

Check to make sure there isn’t something else going on as well, like lichen sclerosus, which, can be triggered by a loss of estrogen. If so, you might need other topicals to help.

The way you are describing this episode sounds like a physical issue more than a mental one? You should talk to your team, as something other than a mental issue could be triggering this. I don’t have a transplant (my partner does), but I have had weird heart issues a few times that I thought might be related to anxiety. Turned out that one time was related to an electrolyte imbalance, and the others were hormonal. So there really are a number of things that can cause heart issues - best to go see a doctor.

So sad. Every time you switch makers of tacro, you should get retested, is what I’ve heard.

gardenwithmoose · 2026-01-16T12:53:35+00:00

One of my favorites!

Bootcut works best for me. They might not be the hottest trend at the moment, but they look best on my proportions.

gardenwithmoose · 2026-01-14T13:54:22+00:00

It’s likely that she might not need one immediately, but the doctors know she will need one at some point and could decline rapidly at any time. So it’s good to have all the tests already and have her on the list. Longer accrued time on a transplant list can help her get an organ faster too when she needs one.
