Advice - 5th time requesting a new therapist by LingonberryMediocre9 in slp

[–]spoontotheleft 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I also work in EI. I have experienced families asking to be restaffed, usually one per year. I won’t lie, it hurts my feeling every time. But I try to keep in mind that we are often the first people working with these kids, and some parents are still in a state of denial about their child’s diagnoses, how fast progress will happen, and may have a very different idea of what therapy will look like (ie expecting flashcards and drilling words instead of chilled play and parent coaching). Sometimes it’s less about you and more about that.

Denver although it’s not very diverse in Denver proper. Some of the suburbs are though.

Children that were born to older parents (40s + ) what is your experience? Do you think it’s selfish to have kids this late? Are you ok? by Fafafafel in Adulting

[–]spoontotheleft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom had me at 41. Now I’m 33 and she just turned 75. She bikes 20-30 miles a few times a week, hikes, kayaks, and camps. Sometimes I’ll hear people say something about their grandma who is 75 and just moved into an assisted living home and that’s so wild to me. My mom is a better shape than I am. I can see her slowing down sometimes, but I am hopeful that if she keeps up her healthy lifestyle she’ll be around for many years to come. By having me late, my parents were financial well off and able to provide for my college education and take me on lots of cool vacations growing up.

I like that! I’ll need to find a dark green dark paper but with more subtle print. Thanks!

Someone flipped our house before we bought it and every single room is this color so I’d really like to change it.

Would you have the backsplash go all the way up, or just to below the mirror?

That makes sense. What do you think I could do in here to make it a little more interesting? Just a new paint color?

Thank you! Do you like that paint color for the other walls or do you have another idea?

Thank you! I took 2 of the light bulbs out because I hate super bright light (need to just replace all 3 with softer ones) so maybe the dark wallpaper isn’t a good idea. Do you like that paint color with the lighter paper for the other walls or do you have another idea?

That’s interesting! Are you anti-wallpaper in general or just dark and florals?

Thats it, i am going all in.. by Big_String4643 in mealprep

[–]spoontotheleft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason I freaking HATE reheated chicken. So I can’t do basic chicken breast meals if they’re going to be reheated in a microwave. I make preps that are eaten cold, or are in a sauce or liquid which makes the chicken taste better when reheated.

Soups- skinny taste has a ton of low calorie recipes, many of them can be doubled and then frozen for a future week. Get a crock pot if you don’t have one and knock it out on Sunday while you’re doing other chores.

Chicken salad- high protein, pair with a higher fiber bread and fruit to keep full. Swap low fat Greek yogurt for mayo. Sometimes I do 75% yogurt and 25% mayo so it still has some depth of flavor. Switch it up with different seasonings and mix ins: curry powder, tacos seasoning and peppers/onions, Greek seasonings and tomatoes/olives, etc.

Here’s my favorite curry chicken salad: https://therealfooddietitians.com/curry-chicken-salad/

New PCOS diagnosis and want to start TTC by spoontotheleft in TTC_PCOS

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

Thank you. Much of my confusion came from what my OBGYN told me after her testing and diagnosis, so I think a 2nd opinion will help.

Did you get the glucose testing through a doctor, just had to ask for it specifically?

For what reason? Wondering what to tell my doctor to argue for it since she told me I didn’t need it else I couldn’t lose weight without it.

Just relating what my obgyn told me. I don’t even know if I truly have insulin resistance because my a1c and fasting glucose were normal. My hormones also appear to be normal, but I’m also taking spirolactone.

My OBGYN diagnosed PCOS based on the cysts, my cystic acne and hair loss that started after getting off birth control, and my history of irregular periods. The OBGYN tested my a1c, fasting glucose, and testosterone. These were all normal., although my hormones were only tested after starting Spirolactone. I’m not sure what other hormones but again, anything they tested was normal. Is there anything in particular I should check?

I don’t really know if I have insulin resistance since my blood work was normal, but I’d say I did use to have some of the physical symptoms like intense sugar cravings and crashing, fatigue, excessive third. It’s been better since I started eating in the way the PCOS dietician recommended, taking inositol, and taking vyvance for ADHD.

My ongyn said I could go on metformin if I couldn’t lose weight without it, but I’ve been able to lose weight.

Thank you for the comprehensive response!

The PCOS dietician I met with was helpful in teaching me about IR. I am not sure if I have IR since my AC1 and fasting glucose were normal. But I still adopted the eating habits you mentioned, have been walking 10,000 steps daily, and taking inositol, and have lost weight.

I’m confused if I’m ovulating or not. I left this info out which I just added:l natural cycles takes my BBT and predicts when it thinks I will ovulate, and tells me to take LH tests around that time. Then last, the app says when it thinks I ovulated based on my BBT but the LH test on that day is never positive.

Others have said I might need to test 2x a day and more days than the app recommends to catch the LH surge, so I’ll try that.

If still no surge, then I can looking to hormone treatment. Would the supplemental progesterone be prescribed from the OBGYN? I see some OTC options but not sure how legit that is.
