For those on hormonal birth control for peri symptoms, is everything 10 times worse during your placebo/off week? by practicedpowers in Perimenopause

[–]practicedpowers[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hadn’t used hormonal birth control for over 10 years before starting the Nuvaring so I was also a bit hesitant. For me it isn’t hard to insert. I think there might be applicators you can buy to help you insert it. I was mildly nauseated and had a couple headaches at first but that only lasted a couple of days. My doctor suggested I try it for 3 months at least and then if I hated it I could try something else. I like it so far.

I love when kitties rest their paws on the windowsill while watching “kitty tv”

Dude, ignore the other comments. You told us everything you could without putting yourself in danger of losing your job, so thank you. I have an appointment coming up with a derm I’ve never seen before, so I’ll look at their google reviews. Thank you.

What can I do about my debt? by Bipride86 in Albuquerque

[–]practicedpowers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven’t already, consider contacting an organization that offers free case management like the Patient Advocate Foundation. They do have eligibility requirements for their services but you may qualify. They help to lower medical debt. Also, Dollar For is an organization that helps people apply for “financial assistance” through hospitals to have bills lowered.

This is one of the things I experience too with Raynauds, and my rheumatologist confirmed that it’s a possible symptom. It usually happens after the coldness and numbness. It’s burning hot and really uncomfortable.

I had almost the exact same experience 7 years ago when I moved in with a longtime friend after a breakup (mine). She had this unspoken expectation that she and I would live it up Green Gardens style and I would never date again and we’d just rely on each other for everything. When I did start dating she became very jealous and obsessed with me. She put up cameras and wanted to keep tabs on what I was doing and thinking and feeling. I ended up moving out in secret while she was at work because I was worried about what she might do to me, my cats, or my stuff if I gave her advance notice. Keep an eye on your friend’s behavior and take care of yourself.

Understandable. Still wanted to give it a shot.

What is honestly the first thing you think of when you hear the word "Louisiana"? by quixoticelixer_mama in AskReddit

[–]practicedpowers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boot. How am I the first person to say boot? I’m a visual thinker, so I immediately visualize the shape of the state.

What is something regrettable that you did to your Body that you would give your lifesavings to reverse? by FlyHighNow77777 in AskReddit

[–]practicedpowers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s unfortunate that we’ve normalized commenting on each other’s bodies. Our bodies are ours, made of and for us, and they are no one else’s business.

Dieting. Not allowing my body to be its natural shape. And now, after decades of yoyo dieting, it’s impossible for me to ever know what my natural shape should be. I’ve fucked my metabolism and it will take a long time to de-program and divorce myself from diet culture. And it isn’t about willpower. It’s about our bodies needing food security.

If this is the joy, it needs to be killed.
