@DoctorTro Dx'd T2 ten years after CABGx3. I follow low carb/keto diet. Several doctors encouraged me to just eat carbs and take meds/insulin. Later fractured pelvis, nurses belittled me for refusing carbs, saying nutritionist had education that I did not & to just take insulin.
@DoctorTro Numerous times. First when I was in labor I was told by a male doctor "it doesn't hurt that much." Second, age 49 presented to GP with heart attack symptoms, was told "Only men have those symptoms, not women." Gave me antacid. I ended up with CABGx3
@StraightFlorida While checking out at an online store I noticed this request for tips: “Tips go directly toward team lunches and small thank you perks for the warehouse staff who packed your order.
3%
6%
10%”
I didn’t place the order.
@SGTWipper1Each I take Zyrtec and generic Flonase. Doc had to write a script for the generic version, go figure, but it’s been between $3 and $10 using my Medicare Rx plan. Way less than OTC! I also heard changing Zyrtec to Claritin or other sometimes helps.
@RealFrankFromFL Just northeast of Orlando and haven’t heard any fireworks this week. Very unusual. Years past there’d be fireworks for a week before and a week after the 4th.
@end3of6days9 I had a friend who’d bang her wooden spoon on the counter when her son’s misbehaved so I decided to try it. Yep, it broke in half. We all ended up laughing hysterically. Never tried that again. Years later my son gave me a wooden spoon at Christmas, saying he owed me one. Ha!
@stonksandcards Our Publix seemed to go nuts after 2020, eliminating lower priced items & jacking up prices. I’ve been a customer for 40 years but now only shop for BOGOs or items other stores don’t carry. The bakery is now sparse too, and overpriced.
@EvanAKilgore He is not the person I voted for 3 times (more if we count primaries). I had such hope we really would be great again but I do feel so disappointed and betrayed.
@JacquiDeevoy1@dr_ericberg Also I take ground flaxseed and (soaked) chia seeds. Supposedly both help lower bp, dunno if it's true but my bp has been great now. I mix the chia seeds in yogurt or keto pudding, let sit a few mins.
@kacdnp91 So sorry. Ignore them. Prayers for your son and all the troops. I'm old enough to remember our soldiers coming home from Vietnam to horrible name calling. and that was way before the internet/social media. I think it's worse now. May God be with each and every soldier.
