Taco, are you or your mom able to call and get updates when you can't visit? I did that for my brother, although I was authorized as Proxy. Hoping you all get a break and true relief soon.

Thanks! My mom died so it’s all on me I do have medical proxy (and the rest) so that’s good to go. I’ve told the hospital to call but so far they haven’t and I’m not sure if it’s because they don’t know anything yet or what. So much waiting and seeing.

shopgirl07, I don't want to tag the thread, but do you know what should be prescribed for women with that level of severe anxiety, jittery, insomnia etc. or whatever symptoms I'm missing?
I'm all out of sorts today due to going in to work late due to a dermatology appointment. Appointment was fine, but I swear they're not open every day because the place was PACKED before 8 AM. The person I see only works 2 days a week (good for them), so my follow up apt isn't at an ideal time. I tried to move it once I got home, but was given an even worse (literal middle of the work day) time option. At least it's not for a while so fingers crossed as some point I'll get a break from apt (+) a week.
I'm going to try Sprionolatone again as I'm still getting adult acne and topicals really aren't doing that much. TMI TMI TMI I had to stop a few years ago because it gave me a period every 3 weeks or sooner, so we're hopeful I can tolerate it now that I don't have a uterus. We'll see I guess.
Finally, I feel a little weird that I'm hanging on to a library book that's well over a week over due. I should just return it and then try to borrow it again but I tell myself it's motivating to keep it around and read (maybe 10 pages a day) it because it has to go back.
And that offices does get people in quickly! I think they know ADHD people need that lol Good luck!
Yeah, but they still said it would take 2-3 months total. The guy yesterday did give me something that may help, but not a stimulant (Wellbutrin). And I’m kind of handwringing on if I should start it or wait. I was really not expecting to get in so soon.
I started Wellbutrin two weeks ago. It's going fine, except I had a period of really terrible sleep that I think was my usual terrible sleep at that part of my cycle exasperated by the Wellbutrin.

My kids Dad is out of his damn mind. I agreed to take a lesser child support amount when I recently filed after not going after him for support for nearly 10 years. Now that he pays me support, he doesn't think he needs to pay for anything else for the kids unless it somehow is part of his own agenda. He's always paid for the kids to have a gym membership but two months ago decided he wasn't going to pay it any more, sent me and the kids a text and literally cancelled their memberships that day. My kids both work out pretty regularly so I signed them both up for new memberships right away. My son use to do personal training for boxing which was $50/wk but the trainer closed up shop for a few months to open his gym. Now the training is still $50/wk but he's also charging a $50/mth gym membership fee. My kids Dad had the audacity to ask me to pay half of the monthly membership and I flat out refused so now he's calling me money hungry and greedy. Good times.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is what’s usually prescribed for perimenopause/menopause symptoms. Estradiol and/or progesterone. Estradiol is bio-identical, meaning it’s what’s produced by your body, so there’s no side effects and is very safe. I’ve been on the estradiol patch and progesterone and am feeling better. There’s literally dozens of perimenopause symptoms and HRT can really make a huge difference. You can get prescriptions online through Winona (and I’m sure others) if you’re not able to see your doctor or if they won’t prescribe.

I woke up coughing and couldn’t stop, so I couldn’t sleep. I must have freaked out my dog because he kept pawing my back and then laid on my pillow. I’m tired.

Sorry tacokick ,. Again wishing you all the best. I'm here if you want to PM, and let us know if we can do anything to help.
@pixysticks WTF to just bringing spouses?!? I obviously don't know all of the details, but 99% of the time I'm team have the party on work time, without spouses, leave early and move on. At the very least you (the guest) confirm if spouses are allowed/confirm they're coming to the host if there's say food involved. Ugh, I hope all the scrambling can be as smooth as possible.
I got my eyes checked out this morning and I now have a Rx for progressive lenses. Yay?
The doctor mentioned my rosacea and I said I'm starting to think it might actually be psoriasis. She said she wasn't a dermatologist but that my face issues look more like psoriasis to her and encouraged me to make an appointment with a different dermatologist for a 2nd opinion. She mentioned my eyelids and the skin around my eyes specifically which is a horror show right now.
I got the rosacea diagnosis almost 15 years ago by someone who barely took the time to really examine me. It's just clicked in the last few weeks that all the things I've done to treat it (Rxs, OTC, diet, etc.) haven't really helped so... maybe it's not rosacea? 🤷♀️
I need to do a mole check appointment anyway, so I guess I'll look for an office that specializes in psoriasis that's covered by my insurance. But I also kind of don't want to... My face has impacted my mental health for decades. The 'up' of finding something that kind of works then the 'down' when that thing makes everything worse after a week or two is soul crushing.
I'm tired of spending $$$ on my stupid face 😪
ETA: I do realize this is a small thing compared to other struggles that people here are going through. I'm sorry so many here are hurting right now 😔
Tangential to my adhd testing appointment, I’ve been doing so much reading on neurodiversity in adult over the past week or so, and coming to more of a conclusion that it fits me so well. Even here. The bragplaint thread stings so bad, the discussion of test results appearing in the portal (I feel like I’m the only one that would rather read it and process it before I have to sit across from someone and they ask if I have questions), and the conversation I had with a coworker today where he asked me if I “knew the retiree much.” A focused on much, and said no, thoigh we worked physically close in proximity. And then he and I went into a discussion on how the answer depends on your definition of much, and teased that out. And how everyone else thinks he is an odd duck, but I always say I have a soft spot for him. I get him so much. And, well, fuck, I’m an odd duck.

FI passed his class!
Also, this is a reminder to check your state for unclaimed property. You can also search for treasury bills or bonds you may have gotten as a kid. I searched today and found a few hundred dollars.
I've mentioned I returned to work full time (lol I never shut up about it probably) and that I was able to because i can leave to pick my son up and finish the day at home. It's great in theory, in practice I am drowning. I am always running, always in one place and feeling like I should be in another. I signed up to take my son to a high school open house and had it on my calendar for tonight but it turns out it was last night. I'm so upset that I did this. My husband, who has happily been little more than a spectator in anything having to do with our home life, had even asked if I could pick him up if he took a train that would drop him near the school so he could go. Fortunately son's friend mentioned attending the open house last night or we would all be standing outside the school tonight. Hey, I guess I could feel worse!
The building is doing a "refresh" and updating the hallways. They put up wallpaper that reminds those of us in our office (we're all 40ish) of doctor's offices in the mid-90s. How much you want to bet that this is the brainchild of some young designer in their 20s?

DS is 8.5 and has a pretty solid unibrow. He hasn’t mentioned it yet. Should we just wait for him to say something and offer to remove it then? Suggest it?

My ds1 has one, I waited until he asked to get rid of it this year in 5th grade.

I watch a LOT of HGTV so grain of salt here...but why TF is wall paper making such a comeback? And the gold trim everything like the what early 90's? I say every so often by the time DH and I sell our current house and buy something new we'll just be stuck with all of these wall paper, gold fixtures etc. trends. *Sigh* Clearly these folks have never had to unpeel wall paper either....
