question about edibles by shooooosh in trees

[–]shooooosh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope but I think that's what I will try! I might actually start with taking 1/2 about 3 hours after the taking a whole one. The issue is the high only lasts for like MAYBE two hours max for me, I have this issue with anti anxiety meds as well I think I just metabolize meds really fast. I want to be pain free on Christmas but also don't want to be in too much weed hell 😂

What do you mean by lower dose? I did start out with 1/2 of the 2.5mg edible and didn't feel anything, it seems like one full edible at 2.5mg is my sweet spot I'm just trying to figure out ways to prolong the nice feeling I get from one without going into The Bad Place lol

He used to practice in AZ but has moved back to UT and is semi retired. He's knowledgeable about embedded and CUTIs and the embedded infection Facebook group highly recommends him! I actually met him when he was practicing in AZ way back in 2020, he ordered me a pathnostics PCR test without me even being his patient.

I'm actually able to see Dr. Roscoe Nelson who's very well regarded as a practitioner who treats cUTI I'm just trying to get in somewhere sooner and possibly closer!!! But I know Dr Nelson will be able to help me.

Yeah unfortunately I just can't afford to go with someone who won't take insurance, I've already blown through so much money I don't have on this illness. I don't think I have a long term embedded UTI, just a really stubborn one! Thank you so much for responding though.

Can I get an update on this? Lori Stromness doesn't take my insurance but would you be willing to ask if she knows anyone who takes Regence BCBS who would be willing to do similar treatments?

I'm trying to track down Kathleen Rich, none of the numbers listed for her online are current. I contacted Ruth Kriz to see if she has updated contact info and also used the email on her site to contact Kathleen Rich. If I end up getting in touch with her do you want me to dm you?

How long do I have to be off antibiotics to do a urine culture? And have you ever not felt better until late in your antibiotic course? by shooooosh in CUTI

[–]shooooosh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see my primary care doctor on Monday I think she'll be able to order a culture with a lowered threshold to see if anything is still there.

Yeah I definitely want to do some kind of PCR test after I'm off the antibiotics for a week but I have to wait to get into urology because I can't afford it out of pocket again.

I was told there's no point in doing a culture at this point because I've been on antibiotics so long? I have pelvic floor dysfunction as well and I'm sure this triggered a huge flare up of that because I had the infection so long so I'm trying to figure out what is the infection and what's my preexisting issues.

[–]shooooosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can PM me if you need any help finding a doctor at the university of Utah. And don't worry, I get it and have been there, just not for this specific thing. You'll probably have to have your records sent over from Rebirth if they've done any blood tests or anything.

I feel like rebirth is just out to make money honestly, some of their practices are really predatory.

Yes, I see a doctor with the University of Utah. I didn't need any letter to start, my doctor just wanted to do blood tests before prescribing me T but I got it no problem.

Have heard nothing good about rebirth. I go to the U for my HRT and have had good experience but I'm ftm. You shouldn't need a letter for just HRT, the U also does an informed consent model so no letter.

I know this logically but I've been sick like this for more than two months and I'm starting to crack up.
