Just “Small Government™️” things
I like chewing them more 😉
Lmao. You’re right, I should put “primary care” in quotes.
Good luck! I don’t know what you should hope for either, but I’m so happy that you’ve arrived to the place that you’re smiling at your reflection
I am ftm, but when I started trying to transition with hormones I had the same issue. I even cut weed out in hopes that was causing my nausea. Mine was so bad that I would not eat for weeks and I ended up getting a saline bag twice because I didn’t want to hydrate. My endo was not as sure as your doctors that hormones couldnt cause the nausea, and when she investigated she found it’s a very rare side effect. I quit t and was fine afterwards.
But, the fact you’ve been on hrt for so long before the nausea makes me think you have something else going on. Maybe you have an ulcer? I can see that lowering your hrt absorption. Buproprion can definitely decrease appetite, and I have taken enough mood stabilizers that I’m sure appetite loss is a common side effect. Honestly, if I were you, I’d be going to my primary care doc and trying to approach from a gastrointestinal point of view
I live in one of those sparsely populated states, I have to drive 5 hours one way to see a neurologist. Because the one that is two hours away only sees a small number of veterans due to the way the VA pays them.
Thank you for the offer of help, I now have 100% disability with the VA and I’m also on ssdi. Good luck helping your veteran, and please appeal when the VA gives them a rating. They like to lowball us, I was given 70% after my first c&p.
I have triwest, which is the veteran version of tricare. I’m totally fucked trying to find care in an already sparse Healthcare provider state.
The government says well this service was only worth xxx in 2000 so that’s what we’ll pay. And then they act all shocked when none of us can find care

My cat’s prescription wet food is less than half that per can. I often feel guilt for being a cat owner, but her quality of life is high, and she’d be killing so many native birds if she was still feral. I really hope that means something in the long term. Hopefully this becomes popular enough to affect the prescription food side of things, too
Often something like this is published and people don’t use the methods for the materials they are described with. It’s like taking the idea to make dough for baking specifically shaped bread, and using the concept to make specifically shaped ceramics instead
I asked to be sterilized in my twenties. I have never wanted children, and never was even asked to baby sit when I was a teen because of how awkward I was around babies and small children. I was denied because apparently decades in my own head wasn’t enough, I needed to be married first. (wtf I can’t even tolerate sex how am I going to get married lol)
In my thirties I tried again, but this time asked to have all of my reproductive organs removed because they cause me so much pain. I got denied because I came out as trans before that 🙃 The (American) VA can’t do any surgeries if there’s even a tiny hint that it might be gender affirming for trans and enby folks.
I didn’t say it was safe! Just safer than minoxidil :) The oil is usually meant to be used as a pre-wash treatment, so it’s not going to sit on your head all day like minoxidil, further reducing the risk of contact with pets.
It’s also much safer to use around cats than topical minoxidil is!
My triglycerides fell a little over 50 points! Almost to a healthy level now.
My cholesterol total fell a little over 20 points, with small drops in hdl and ldl.
That’s about four months of abstaining from alcohol with no change from my normal “vegan” diet.
I went vegan and had no change in my cholesterol. I have never had a diet that was high in fat, so that didn’t surprise me. My doctor told me I need to give up alcohol for any change to occur. There’s definitely a genetic component as well, my dad and his dad seriously struggled with their cholesterol levels.
I had to abstain from alcohol over the summer because I started a medication that is hard on the liver, and I just had a lipid panel today. So I’ll find out early next week if my doctor was right lol
There’s a pretty high number of combat veterans who feel superior to the rest of us with non-combat roles. Humans get clique-y in every space it seems.
Man I say that last phrase to myself multiple times a day. I have a bad case of “put something down, lose it forever” thanks to adhd. Where are my keys/phone/shoes? I look for things to make me go.
This is a weird way to find out Toby Keith died
The planet pulls the receptacle down
