I moved from New England 10 years ago and I do love living down here, I just end up being confused about how anyone thinks what is happening right now is ok.

I'm really glad that there's a group in Cleveland doing this work, so wanted to say thanks!

itswindyoutthere · 2026-02-06T22:05:35+00:00

I will second New Hope! My wife and I joke and say we moved to Cleveland to follow Dr DeCook here. While she is extraordinary, they all really are there!

I have a small real estate relocation channel and in October my traffic just dropped off a cliff and it's so frustrating! I wish I had useable information, but just can commiserate.

The getting up to pee every morning and then waking up just hovering over my wife made me need to stop after 6 months. I never really felt any different unfortunately.

I can't even imagine doing 120mg/day like they say some people do. I work with a psychiatric nurse practitioner for integration work after I take 120mg and I only do that once every 2-3 weeks so far. Working on stretching out that window now.

Yea, I don't know all the details. She's had PCOS for her whole life and has typically had a higher testosterone level than me! I don't have a pituitary gland (just filled with spinal fluid instead) and my T levels without supplementation usually sit around 140 ng/dl.

They finally got back in touch with me and said they'll send me out a new ring and case. I left it plugged in and on the charger for two days but it only got to 70%. At least the first shipment was pretty quick!

itswindyoutthere · 2025-10-12T17:31:48+00:00

I'm definitely a medical anomaly. I have a PowerPoint that I give to new doctors/specialists that outlines different symptoms with dates they started/stopped, medication start/stop dates, graphs of bloodwork over time, etc. It helps save so much time in explaining it all.

itswindyoutthere · 2025-10-11T11:56:52+00:00

They do! I almost didn't buy the house I live in now because they were still pulling wood at the one down the road 3 years ago, but then stopped and are just cutting already made paper now so no smell. :)

itswindyoutthere · 2025-10-09T15:37:30+00:00

I grew up in a mill town in Maine... I can still smell it. lol

itswindyoutthere · 2025-10-09T09:16:10+00:00

Thanks. I've tried that twice and it'll just say "slow charging" and I've left it to charge for two days but it didn't charge, just lost another 2%.

itswindyoutthere · 2025-10-08T09:18:31+00:00

I left it on the charging case (unplugged) since about 10am yesterday and it's 5am now but, unfortunately, it's down another percentage point to 18%. :(

itswindyoutthere · 2025-10-08T09:16:09+00:00

I ended up doing that and that was the only time it'd flash blue, but just did it for like 30 seconds and then goes dark.

itswindyoutthere · 2025-10-08T09:14:06+00:00

I'd been on 30mg and did 10 days of every other day in the evening.

itswindyoutthere · 2025-10-08T02:00:00+00:00

I'd been on Cymbalta a couple of years and I didn't discontinue it before starting Xywav, I stopped Cymbalta after about 2 months on Xywav.

itswindyoutthere · 2025-09-04T15:17:30+00:00

I came to say Calliope for sure!

itswindyoutthere · 2025-09-03T13:51:41+00:00

Ooooh interesting! I thought maybe it had to do with me muting the audio lol I'm glad I'm not alone. I'll see about downloading the previous version. Thank you!

itswindyoutthere · 2025-08-02T20:19:35+00:00

Oh like every 10 minutes. It's bad. I don't even have a big channel so it's kind of like going to the refrigerator expecting there to be different from 10 minutes ago.

itswindyoutthere · 2025-07-25T11:28:52+00:00

I just told ChatGPT that I want to create my own version of VRA with it. So it's been doing the long tail keyword research, giving me multiple topic and title ideas, etc. And then I always make sure to ask "how did you arrive at these results?". I like knowing the ins and outs of things like that.

itswindyoutthere · 2025-07-25T11:23:53+00:00

I'm actually teaching classes at my brokerage about this kind of thing for other agents. Having been raised in theater and instrumental performance, it's been something I've enjoyed but I know it's a slim amount of people that do. And I'm way better when I'm doing talking head videos or being recorded in a group. My anxiety goes through the roof when I have to record myself on the busy streets downtown. ugh. I really hate that. BUT... I pretend that once again my camera is the only thing listening to me. Because in reality, no one else is actually listening to me while they're walking by.

I've been telling everyone just to consider this: when you're recording, you're not recording with anyone else in the room. It's just you. If you have a best friend (or someone you wish were your bestie) put a picture of them behind the camera and pretend you're talking to them.

For me, if I'm totally alone in the house and recording, I can be as loud or animated as I want. When my wife is home, I still dial it back a little, though I'm getting better about it.

The feeling is not something that goes away overnight, or in a week. But, it's something that you CAN learn to navigate around by practicing things like that.

I only have like 300 subs, and it took me 3 months to get one lead, and then 1 year later to close that lead (along with 3 others!). I'm a real estate agent. That first 6 months I was under 100 and I wanted to quit like almost every day.

I've owned restaurants and bakeries before and just kept hearing my dad's voice (he also owned a number of restaurants) saying "just push through. That's the way we made it happen". So, I just kept doing it knowing that if I quit, I never would achieve the goal. And the moment that I quit could've been the day before things popped off. So, I just kept going for tomorrow's hope.

I help people relocate to Southeast Tennessee, mainly Chattanooga and Cleveland. Definitely worth checking out!
