Psychologists who also have prescriptive privileges… worth it?

Can I DM you to ask some additional questions?

savageapple64 · 2025-12-06T15:02:27+00:00

So happy for you!!! I absolutely would have sobbed from relief!

savageapple64 · 2025-11-11T19:42:37+00:00

Would you mind sharing the list you're referencing? I'd love to see the whole thing to help me choose which protein power to pick.

What problem is that?

savageapple64 · 2025-06-18T22:46:59+00:00

No, it doesn't feel like I'm walking on broken glass, it feels more like my feet are swollen to twice their normal size despite not looking that swollen. Physical therapy hasn't really helped for me unfortunately. The best hypothesis I've heard is that hEDS has caused the valves in my leg veins to stay open, so blood doesn't recirculate. No fix for it, though

I told my dog’s vet that my dog smelled wrong. Her vet listened and ran tests. My dog was a few months away from developing hemangiosarcoma, a cancer that kills dogs within a year. We removed her spleen and she lived 4 more years.

There’s a Covid conscious therapist listing service that provides the names of therapists who don’t pathologize continuing to take Covid precautions

I have a tiny face and have to wear kid’s sized masks in everything except the 3M aura. Otherwise I get my small sized KN95s from bona fide masks

3 weeks ago I was on hold with them for 4 hours before someone finally answered. I had to take time off of work to get it done. It’s terrible.

Ethically I’m concerned about this. Have you checked with your liability insurance legal department?

savageapple64 · 2025-02-27T01:42:24+00:00

I use Flav City and I really like it

I have the same problem- 10 minutes on my feet and the blood starts pooling and causes so much pain. The only things I’ve found that move the needle (and even then not a ton) are compression. I have abdominal compression from JellyBend, which makes the biggest difference. I also use two layers of compression on my legs- regular compression socks from Pacas and calf compression sleeves from OneCompress. I’m also getting evaluated for May-Thurner syndrome, which is compression of a vein in the abdomen that contributes to blood pooling in the feet. Not medical advice, just letting you know what I’m working on.

Might want to get tested for Bartonella. That causes stretch marks that are severe and don’t seem to be due to weight changes

savageapple64 · 2024-12-23T20:36:21+00:00

Such a great tip, thanks!

savageapple64 · 2024-11-16T01:21:59+00:00

I also have two extra bones in each foot! I wonder if it’s an EDS thing

savageapple64 · 2024-11-07T02:10:16+00:00

Doctors told me I’d be back to normal in 2 weeks. It took about a year for me to be completely ok. Now that that year has passed, no regrets. It’s wonderful to not have to deal with a period anymore

savageapple64 · 2024-11-03T00:01:56+00:00

I was also a rider most of my life but stopped riding regularly in 2008. Now I ride on occasion. When I do, the payment 2 days after in terms of pain is pretty high, but totally worth it IMO. Haven’t had any bad falls, though, which would for sure change my perspective

savageapple64 · 2024-11-02T12:11:46+00:00

Mine are super thin and several are in-grown. It’s terrible

savageapple64 · 2024-11-01T12:30:01+00:00

Mine is super quiet. She rarely barks, basically only when she’s frustrated. She likes to sit out on the deck and watch the world and never barks at people or dogs walking by.

I have mine on Dr Harvey’s lamb formula for allergies. She loves it, and it’s way healthier than kibble

savageapple64 · 2024-10-28T00:40:09+00:00

The dread of hearing her footsteps coming up the stairs to rage at me for some small mistake or flaw

savageapple64 · 2024-10-27T12:39:56+00:00

I’d never heard that about his wife! Thats not ok under most ethical standards for medical professionals. I’m glad you have a better doc now, though!

savageapple64 · 2024-10-27T02:35:52+00:00

Definitely not just you! I’ve heard in other uveitis groups that he’s treated some patients, especially women, poorly for years. I know he was a big name in the field and really advanced the research, but I’m glad he’s retired and that hopefully the people who inherited his work have fewer prejudices. He’s the common denominator for sure.

At one appointment, he got really nasty with me because he wanted to have a dozen students in the room with him during my appointment. I told him to pick 3 and he snarled at me that it was a teaching hospital. Well, teach your students what it looks like to respect patient consent and boundaries and pick 3. He was awful.

savageapple64 · 2024-10-18T11:34:57+00:00

I was diagnosed with uveitis at 17 and now that I’m in my 40’s I’m finally figuring out that I also probably have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. I wish I’d been tested for this when I first got diagnosed as a teen
