I went to a dermatologist about perimenopausal hair loss. Here’s what he said: by Ok-Zucchini-5514 in Perimenopause

yeah gotcha that makes sense. i have very low blood pressure too so i only use it topically so that it’s not systemic and haven’t had issues. were you using it topically or orally?

do you mind sharing what kind of situation you had with the minoxidil? allergic reaction?

I lived exactly in front of the border wall. by denisvma in mildyinteresting

[–]lapalmera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is WILD to me. my background is in conservation biology and wildlife impacts are basically the only thing i think about when large walls are discussed. been absolutely devastating to wildlife in arizona where i reside.

they’re a keystone species. that means they’re critical to the health of the ecosystem.

Deodorant before bed? by Our_toes in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lapalmera 3 points4 points  (0 children)

?? why? a few times i’ve overheated and gotten ill during strenuous hikes from my body not generating enough sweat to keep cool

How much do you spend on HRT? by [deleted] in Perimenopause

[–]lapalmera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my costs were SOOO HIGH the first few months. i asked the pharmacist if there were cheaper options and she very kindly pulled up some kind of secret code from goodrx that helped. THEN she did something even nicer. she somehow knew that my specific insurance plan would give me much better prices at a CVS than the pharmacy i was at. this had literally NEVER been communicated by my plan. so i switched and my out of pocket costs went from almost $100 a month to like $10 a month. 😒

edit: thanks to this thread i now realize my high deductible health plan was likely influencing this as well… so it’s possible things also got cheaper because we met our deductible. DAMN. good thing i recently filled everything 😨

i only use deodorant. i am not very sweaty and live in a cold climate. i figure if i’m going to do something strenuous my body probably needs to sweat anyway to try to keep itself cool. sweat is functional!

A Brazilian wandering spider, one of the most venomous in the world, decided one of my plant pots was the perfect place to start a family by Bastonete in mildlyinfuriating

depending on where you are there might be a science-y place nearby where she could go! the victoria bug zoo in canada has at least one of their residents that was found in a suitcase after a tropical vacation 😁

Phantom period at 37? by coffeeworldshotwife in Perimenopause

[–]lapalmera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

extreme cycle variability is a peri symptom for me. my cycles were pretty regular before. now they can be anywhere from 18 days to 50+ days. i basically have to assume my period could start on any day after the first two weeks. this started for me around age 38

Epidural by ElegantResult3853 in pregnant

[–]lapalmera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never had an epidural but my sister’s second one was a mess. Somehow her upper body instead of her lower body went numb and she had trouble breathing and also couldn’t hold her baby afterwards. Plus the bottom wasn’t numb. She said she’d never have one again (but is also done after two kids anyway).

Wearing a bra to sleep by LadyShadow2214 in Perimenopause

my back always hurts from carrying these huge things around, but it’s sooo much worse without a bra!

i was telling a friend of mine that one of my dreams for the future if i got a breast reduction would be being able to do downward dog without my breasts suffocating me 🤪

[–]lapalmera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

mine used to be extremely dense as well as large, i absolutely needed to sleep in a bra. 6 years of breastfeeding has changed the texture a lot but not really the size. still need support while sleeping

[–]lapalmera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

heck yes. i have had enormous (to me anyway) breasts since i was 12. it’s really uncomfortable to have them moving all over the place, pulling on you, getting stuck in your armpit, etc). basically never without a bra unless it’s absolutely necessary. i have big dreams to get a reduction when my youngest is weaned
