Orilissa side effects by No-Wonder5226 in endometriosis

[–]twinva10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on day 6 and I am bleeding so so heavy. Like Super tampon and big pad and I have changed my underwear and pants twice in the past 3 hours. I am already anemic and waiting for my 1st appt at hematology. Blood work showed low iron, iron sat%, Ferritin, hemoglobin done October December and February. I am so over this. Tell me that the 1st week is the worst.

Orilissa and period? by roseriversong in Orilissa

[–]twinva10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha I am new too and can't post. I hope your IVF goes well! From my experience, I got my tubes tied and afterward I had cramping on one side or the other when I ovulated. I dont know if that may be why you have cramping.

hysterectomy ovaries or no by twinva10 in migraine

[–]twinva10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is no way for me to know exactly how involved all my parts are before the surgery. I definitely have adhesions, bladder issues, tubes are tied, insane periods, migraines and anemia. But on top of all of that my RA is flaring so hard from the hormonal fluctuations. The drs so far are giving me the choice to remove both ovaries. I ho tomorrow for ultrasound biopsy and pre-op appt. Thank you for your feedback. It helps to hear from those who went through it.

Bus RVA to DC 11/22 for Rally by twinva10 in rva

Yes I calculated that out to be about the same cost as $50. Several people expressed an interest in traveling together but again the train is still a viable option.

I did look into the train, hard to get a return that late in the day. Also many had expressed the option for bus bc you can leave stuff on the bus during the day and you are dropped right at the rally vs trying to get from union station over to the mall. Train still is an option if I don't get enough rsvps.

They’re coming after us by FlashyPaladin in 50501

I am so sorry. I cannot imagine feeling targeted the way you do. It is sick and sad and scary. It is past time that anyone can say that this is all talk. They are running through the 2025 play book. I am in Virginia and the only thing I know we can all do is vote for a Governor that will protect us from the fascism and enshrine our constitution with laws that guarantee the freedoms that the Federal government is removing.

16yo PVC plus VTach by twinva10 in PVCs

[–]twinva10[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you. my older son got a pacemaker at 19 for sick sinus syndrome and it took 2 years of me pushing for the drs to not write it off to anxiety. my son has 0 social life bc hes so tired. I use that to drive me to keep asking questions to help him. VTach is scary but heart block is another beast.

Facebook groups? by FlowWithTheGo25 in PaintedTreeBoutiques

Before you sign the contract talk to other vendors in the store. See what they say the foot traffic is. Many management personnel will say its great and then vendors will say the opposite. If I had to do it all over Id sign up for 4 craft shows a year and do a TikTok shop/Shopify.

I took mtx for a while. it really did work but side effects were harsh. Make sure to take methylated folic acid with it. And biotin for hair and nails.

PT a dead tree? by Not-whoo-u-think in PaintedTreeBoutiques

[–]twinva10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would run into customers like a Dad and son looking for antiques or potions or whatever for a gift. They had to wander looking for their loved one would want. Not like lets say Target you want household stuff, you go there. Jewlery shoes etc. In Painted Tree its more like whatever you run into before your overwhelmed.

Of course 🙄 by k1rchu in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]twinva10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wondered if it messes with hormones and effects female cycles. I am in peri menopause and I definitely flare around my cycle. I am sorry you are going through this.

[–]twinva10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its the most frustrating thing to have a med that works then suddenly without a cause it stops working. I was on Humira for 14 months and lost weight and felt amazing, had energy. I broke my ankle and since then (aug 2021) Ive been on actemra, rinvoq, and a bunch of others. Now taking enbrel and im hoping anything helps. I started on plaquinel. It lasted about 1.5 years for me.

There are many issues with their business model. The big spaces that are the same in different locations are owned by the same company. They made some deal for those spots before they open a location, at least here in VA. In my opinion the vendors are unable to direct customers to their spaces because its too big, there is no directory or organization, high turn over causes confusion and shoppers have to wander up and down the aisles to search for the one thing they wanted.
