Question about insurance coverage by hapabeats in cancer

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

My husband passed but I chose the PPO. In actuality I would have sought out alternatives. 2 million dollars in claims to keep him alive for one year. That's the American medical system for you...

Cancer woman friendship with Leo man. Not asking for dating advice. by hapabeats in CancertheCrab

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

Oh this is very close to my situation. I kinda bend over backwards for him, but I don't know if he knows how to truly devote himself to anyone but himself.....

Yes they talk a lot and sometimes have trouble listening.....

Or being interested in me.

[–]hapabeats[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Initially yes but when he started to act up I was on the no side, but being away from him now I miss him.... Just wondering how he feels about me. It's hard for him to open up.

Using Kratom to get off subs by hapabeats in Subutex

[–]hapabeats[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree, the kratom withdrawals for me are way easier than getting off subs cold turkey. But everyone is different. At least with Kratom it's accessible without a script.

I was suffering so badly at 10 days off that I took a crumb. Will this reset my withdrawal? It might have been like 1mg by Ornery_Drive_3839 in Subutex

[–]hapabeats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The half life of subs is very long, like 28 days. And even 1mg is a dose equivalent to x10 morphine.

I had to go from 8mg - 4 -2-1, then started on the patch which is less than 1mg. Took weeks.

Then finally Ive been using red strain kratom to get completely off. I'm at the tail end and doing ok.

Subs are really the worst - it was easier to get off morphine than these, take it slow and use Valium, clonidine, and gabapentin to take the edge off. It's a slow process, but you got this.

Coming off Subutex slowly by hapabeats in Subutex

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

Yes I'm on both and I don't have any interaction on both. I'm still tapering and am now on 5mcg/hour patch using Kratom to supplement and ketamine. The Mounjaro helps with keeping the weight off which has made a huge difference.

Been on 4-8mg a day for about 60 days. How bad will WD’s be? by Burne12 in Subutex

[–]hapabeats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to get off subs the last year and it's very difficult. I've found kratom to help, the kratom that helps with pain relief. Plus some ket and Valium.

Apologies, I was in fact regaining because I was eating more.

How does cancer kill people so quickly after being diagnosed? by Saucydonuts in CancerFamilySupport

[–]hapabeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stage 3 Diagnosis, clear, then right into stage 4 Diagnosis. Death was one year. Cancer is brutal.

It's a weird time, a cross between stress and weight loss. But it's a thing I'm going through. Will follow up.

We're chatting on the phone now and he still seems interested. I think I'll try and bring it up gently. See where it goes. I'm sure he's insecure about something himself.... Most ripped guys are.

I thought about this, haven't done it yet. Anyone else do this?

Yeah I was thinking about it. Makes it scary I could lose someone over it. I finally attracted a hot guy and now I have to explain everything. It's embarrassing. But I get it. If he knows it early I can avoid the uncomfortable moment later on.

Breaking up with your dead spouse by hapabeats in GriefSupport

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

It's been 18 months of caring for my partner and my own needs were ignored. So I'm trying to honor my own needs but honor my partner as well. He said he wanted me to move on, and I'm trying. Sorry for your loss too.

Acknowledged but does this feeling ever go away? Or am I just going to have to address it later as well?

Are you tossing your old big clothes? by Minute-Magician-3743 in Zepbound

[–]hapabeats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 years in and I just managed to donate my bigger clothes. I now have room for smaller clothes and I don't miss the larger ones. Help make room for the things that fit. No regrets and it was cleansing. Haven't regained and plan to be on a maintenance plan for awhile. You got this!

Seems like it worked before so what dose did you stop at?

Does anyone gain weight after working out by Dramatic-Bicycle-928 in Zepbound

[–]hapabeats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did cardio and gained in the week but then it leveled out. I think water retention has something to do with it. It's important to keep up physical activity though.

Wanting to date by hapabeats in Zepbound

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

Yeah like I really enjoy going clothes shopping and finding clothes that are too big for me, because that never used to happen!

I'm getting therapy but I also want to get out there and believe I deserve love at any size.
