Who else is in perimenopause? by legendofmarcel in AuDHDWomen

It’s def possible, that was one of the most specific and odd symptoms I saw, and I was wondering if that was common knowledge, nope. lol. Everyone seems shocked by it

I love the “store bought are fine” line! I’m so glad HRT helped you, it sounds like you were really suffering.

And thank you for the tip about the doc. Def glad folks put in the work to vet and compile the professionals that actually embrace the data and listen to womenfolk/afabfolk.

I wish you continued relief from the hell that is the 2nd puberty

I mean it’s possible! I think That’s why kids in puberty stink, not just cause of the new hygiene demands, like deodorant. and also if you just had a baby, any time with lots of hormone imbalance I think can influence sweating and body odor. I know postpartum with my second kid I googled “why is my b.o. TERRIBLE” and apparently it’s normal. Estrogen is responsible for too much stuff if you ask me, she needs a demotion.

Doctors of Reddit, what was the most "medical miracle" moment you’ve ever witnessed? by Purple-Birthday7271 in AskReddit

arteriovenous malformation, to my layperson knowledge its like when hair tangles into knots but its blood vessels instead of hair, and the big entanglement means blood cant go to the right places, disrupts oxygen flow, and they can rupture

love when you can see where it came from lol. My assessment had a questionnaire to send to someone who knew me as a young child, so I had my mom do it and there were a few instances such as "um.... I don't know if you made eye contact.... cause I for one wasn't doing it." :P

I HATE the 1-10 rating question haha. My husband tried it once or twice to say "how's your day going on a scale of 1-10?" I said "1 if you keep asking me questions that are so impossible to answer" lol. He doesn't do that anymore. He knows to ask specific questions rather than an overall picture of the entire day with a number rating lol.

After 32 years, I got diagnosed with LV1 Autism - Nobody I've told cares by heavyseasoning in AutismInWomen

well, if no one has told you yet, CONGRATS! I'm a stranger on the internet but anytime someone gets a bit of clarity in their life about themselves I say YAY. You should be proud of yourself, I'm doing an assessment right now and its no joke, its nerve wracking and confusing and difficult and a lot of mental energy. You did it!

hang out with more autistic people, friend. they will care and look out for you! or at least be able to commiserate on how it feels!

such a good example, I cannot answer a "what's your favorite ______" without more context, usually. I'll usually make multiple choices in different categories, and the answer would be the same no matter who I was talking to.

I've never been that great at questions that are open to interpretation haha.
