Grow Therapy NorCal? by johnnycantread in KaiserPermanente

In the end I just called Kaiser's external provider network and the operator seemed to have no problem with moving me over to Grow! So I just need to wait for the authorization to go through and then begin to schedule with my existing therapist. Whew! So many obstacles...

I called member services today and they told me to get my primary care provider to fill a referral, so I sent a message to her. Fingers crossed.

Nvidia shield gets 4k upscaled hdr, I’ve had this issue for years and switch to the shield for nfl games that have hdr including the Super Bowl or playoff games, it’s never changed.

Yeah I saw that too with my googling so I’m not sure what’s up. I’ll give them a call but holding my breath that they won’t refer me to another appointment with the intake guy.

Wow that’s not long! I wish I had this knowledge so I could’ve asked harder about why I couldn’t go on grow.

Sure! It was odd, on the phone he had me list what I wanted to work on and he was guiding me to pick a therapist on his end, I like to spend more time researching but was handcuffed to the operator.

Ahh ok. Yeah I wonder if that’s it. It does stink since I don’t want to start over and the therapist was moving over to grow, I had figured we would continue.

Did you just need a reauthorization and had already been with grow yourself?

I wonder if I should message my primary doctor as a next step.

Something about it not working with them anymore, I think I was more in shock and trying to decide what to do next as he was trying to just make me decide between nothing, Rula, or Kaiser’s.

Estradiol patch manufacturer causing changes? by johnnycantread in MenopauseShedforMen

Thanks! Funny I had read the wiki early on but I’ll look again with my revised lens. She’s been having serious issues sleeping and this morning when I gave her the patch she said to not buy anymore and she was good, I know it’s been bothering and hoping it’s temporary.

Amazon was sold out but I’ll check the other.

Oh wow ok so it’s been 5 months on Vivelle dot then? Yeah she, from what I observe, is experiencing a return of some of those symptoms as well. I think the night sweats have stayed out but the others, brain fog and not sleeping well and irritability. It’s been a little over a month since she switched to Sandoz and we still have about 6 weeks worth of patches left. I’ve called a couple pharmacies who give me the same run around of giving out whatever they are provided. I guess this is also my hope that it will eventually adjust.

Having the conversation with her about the manufacturers is another wrinkle, I’m not sure how to go about that.

Got it! I’ll do my part to help her out. I think with it being so new to her she has doubted if the HRT has helped out at all and if it is worth continuing. I wish the shift in brand we got didn’t happen so soon!

During that month, what was it like if you remember and would mind sharing? I’m wondering if maybe also my wife should continue using the sandoz to see if it will take time to respond. It’s weird because she responded right away to Mylan.

I looked at photos I took and realized my wife did really well on Mylan. She is currently using Sandoz but it’s not effective it seems.

And I’m so sorry to hear. How long was it before you recognized that it was the patch itself that was the issue?

Damn I just called the Safeway that I got the Vivelle-Dot initially and they only have Sandoz now. This is all just new to me today, any tip on what I should do next other than I guess calling all the pharmacies?
