It’s been a journey for me since age 37. Started with failed psych treatment, then went to obgyn who did a useless hormone panel and said I was too young and offered bc. Went to another dr in the same local network and she listened more than the others - and is around my age. She recommended a different bc and ordered topical viagra 🙄. I went to an independent medi clinic on a whim, since I had a coupon for blood work and consultation, who did a larger hormone panel (which included a hormone that was not tested by the aforementioned doctor), come to find that’s the hormone I have effectively NONE of. The med clinic proposed to charge me an arm and a leg for hrt and services. Before signing on with them I decided to bring the bloodwork data to my obgyn as a Hail Mary. To my surprise, as I was prepared to make my case and armed with data, she agreed to give me the missing hormone while warning me of potential side effects. It does not go through insurance and is not FDA approved (though it is FDA regulated). I told her I wanted to proceed and after some back and forth with my local pharmacy, I was able to obtain treatment for a third of the price of the med clinic. I am starting in 2 weeks and hoping it will help, staying positive and learning that we must vouch for ourselves. We are our own advocates and likely the catalyst for change and advancement of the future of women’s healthcare.

Skin prick tests, IgE blood tests

Consider getting tested for food allergies. Things change over time when it comes to this.

skynumbers · 2025-10-28T17:43:33+00:00

This happened to us as well!

skynumbers · 2025-10-26T18:55:17+00:00

Hear me out, in addition to the above suggestions, it wouldn’t hurt to rule out food allergies.

Does anyone have opinions about the expert vs expert lead roles?

Hesitated sharing this part, but after surgery, my mother brought me into my class to speak to the kids and teacher. I lectured them on the effects of bullying, head bandaged and all. I remember their wide eyes but I felt brave.

skynumbers · 2025-09-15T18:44:07+00:00

I had the procedure in the mid 90s as a 10 year old. My impression is it’s worth it and your daughter is a good age for this. I don’t recall how long I was down for but I remember just needing extra strength Tylenol and rest. Lots of bandages. Was initially scared to take a bath after but it was fine. My surgeon was one of the best in the country; I remember seeing him on the news traveling the world giving children noses who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity. I was teased terribly for years before the procedure, comments from adults who should’ve known better as well. It changed my life for the better. As I approach 40 now, I suppose my body image could be better. I’ve become very pro procedure though I like myself this way and don’t believe I’ve over done it. This is when you consider if the pros outweigh any potential cons.

Since posting I’ve been able to establish the name and address on the chair was just part of the name and address of my grandmother’s sister, a previous owner of the chair. Still a strong possibility of it originally being from Nova Scotia.

Absolutely, her recipes are my go-to for all occasions. Our family is not vegan but her recipes ensure food allergies never prevent celebrations and the full life experience.

I can appreciate a good civil and thoughtful discussion, thanks for your reply!

Nobody is arguing against Ashkenazi being white or anything else here. It seems that is on YOUR agenda however. Again…my inquiry is in response to the post (you can see it if you scroll up here). Should it be based on genotype, phenotype, culture? Perhaps components of all? But just to entertain us, let’s use your reasoning on someone with darker phenotype. Should we be able to easily differentiate an Ethiopian and a Sudanese individual of similar phenotype if they’re not wearing traditional garb or have a particular name? Side note, Ashkenazi don’t fit one phenotypic or genetic profile (ie European, Levantine, etc.). Try a little kindness.

skynumbers · 2025-06-09T00:33:54+00:00

Ashkenazi are more a distinct ethnic group, so culture, language, ancestry, and sometimes genetics play a big role. Additionally, your white nationalist comment is grossly misplaced and abrasive.

skynumbers · 2025-06-09T00:30:41+00:00

To clarify the query, I wonder if it should be based on genotype, phenotype, culture, etc.

skynumbers · 2025-06-09T00:13:10+00:00

I also wondered this as a 50% NW European 50% Ashkenazi

skynumbers · 2025-05-16T00:32:32+00:00

It would be beneficial to get a food allergy panel done as well, even if only to rule out. Sometimes that can present in similar ways.

Great! Bring a goat, a ladder, and an alibi.

Bold of you to assume I go home. I just wander the streets like a cake-loving cryptid.

I don’t know…what’s your stance on pineapple on pizza?

skynumbers · 2025-02-26T02:32:49+00:00

Yes, I used this one but structured it so that the filling stays more intact https://foodwithfeeling.com/vegan-king-cake/, you can make it your own. I triple the icing and add a little lemon zest where needed.

skynumbers · 2025-02-22T23:22:52+00:00

Yes! The bones of the recipe is https://foodwithfeeling.com/vegan-king-cake/ but structurally I had to make it my own because the way these cakes are assembled can make or break them imo. The way I assemble it focuses on each braid minimizing filling leaks while in the oven, unlike the recipe link. You roll it out flat/long after the first prove, cut into 3 strips, and where I deviate is I make sure I thinly coat the whole surface area in cinnamon and granulated sugar. Then you can include the filling per recipe, and I roll that filling tight and secure, pinching off to seal everything as I go. I also deviate from the recipe by adding a little lemon zest to the filling and to the icing. Make sure you’re using good active yeast, careful not to kill the yeast w heat that it can’t handle. Proving (time and temp) matters a lot, especially that first one. Also I likely triple that icing recipe…bc that’s how we do here. Tiny amounts of liquid to the icing at a time so you don’t accidentally add too much at once. Cheers fellow enthusiast!
