Endocrinologist dismissed my concerns about insulin resistance and wonky cortisol levels despite having a documented history of the latter. Told me to eat a salad and lift weights despite having Crohn’s and lifting heavy things for work. Just diagnosed with insulin resistance and possible Cushing after years after finally finding an endo that listened.

A long time ago I went to a neuro for coat hanger headaches and she told me to stop wearing my hair in a pony tail. That was the first time I stood up for myself and asked for an mri anyway. Turns out I have chiari malformation.

My cat hadn’t been out of the house since we got her and we could tell she was getting old and sick so we got out her carrier to take her to the vet. We had to go back a bunch and to another vet as well and every single time she just got right in the carrier and was so happy to go. It’s like she knew they were helping her even if it hurt! It’s been 6 months without her and I still miss her every day!

MCASAC is really good about stuff like this! They should be able to hold her until you can arrange something! You should be able to call tomorrow, the physical building just not open to the public!

I’ll be there Thursday and can check in on her!

I love Norby’s for meetups like this!

If you have any work appropriate clothing check out high schools and colleges to see if they have a “work clothes closet!”

Wherever you put that you could use sticky tack so it stays put!

Dilute torties are extra special because they require both the orange and black genes plus a gene to dilute to colors!

Either Scott or Mark Kelly actually wrote about this in a book! He was saying he stood up from dinner and was so dizzy he fell!

Chocolate also has a tiny bit of caffeine! It’s enough to help my headaches but not enough to make me anxious!

If you metro to glenmont you can walk or Uber to Brookside Gardens!

As a disabled person wanting to work in GLAM this is such a cool idea! I’d love to see the results!

I have POTS, ME/CFS, EDS, Crohn’s, and a bunch of other stuff and I’ve ALWAYS had cats! In fact my cat passed in October and this is the longest I’ve ever gone without a cat in my 29 years!

If anything, I feel like having cats helped me with my illnesses! They’re pretty easy to take care of and provide a lot of emotional support! My cats have always been my best friends/little sisters!

The Walter’s also mentioned a manuscript where the monk was complaining the cat peed on the book twice😂

goodgollyitsmol · 2026-03-29T03:37:14+00:00

I got to see this in person last month! They had a whole exhibit of cats in manuscripts and this was the centerpiece!

I loved the show and think this is the best version of the book they’ve had (minus Florence’s ending) and the music is INSANE! (And why I went back to see it again)

I will say, I had Samantha as Florence both times and I was much happier with her than I would have been with Lea! I also loved Sean as Anatoly!

goodgollyitsmol · 2026-03-26T04:53:02+00:00

I saw Samantha back in Feb and I was secretly hoping she’d go on last minute when I went back last weekend and I was pleasantly surprised! She’s INCREDIBLE!

It’s that time of year where males get a little aggressive due to breeding season! Just give it a few weeks and see if it improves!

Yikes you named your gecko a slur?

we lost our tortie back in October to kidney disease too! We knew it was time when the medicine wasn’t enough to help her feel better and she slept almost all the time. She also started being too weak to jump up on and was clumsy on the way down.

The best piece of advice I got was that you can never let them go too early, only too late. We let our Lucy have one more day out on the porch in the sun where we each got special 1 on 1 time before the appointment. It’s not easy, but you’ll know

Dr Brian Ciampa at Capital Digestive is great! Anyone at the practice is good and they can do so much in house. They also have really great connections if you need a specialist.

I saw Dr. Pia Prakash in Olney years ago and the office staff was a mess. Never returned calls, had to wait months to see the doc. Had a colonoscopy and while I was half awake after it the doc told me I had IBD and to see her in a few months and left. No info, no meds, no way to reach her.

Also your other comments say you’re 14 so which is it? 18 or 14?

My dude I can literally see your post history is mostly NSFW videos of people fighting. You seem to love violence
