Well, since you went ahead and publicly called her a curse, you might as well have kept it going publicly! 😉

Here’s what happened next 🍿

Angela Wright said:I honestly think it’s pretty rude to call someone out for talking nonsense, especially when they actually back up their claims! It feels so dismissive when someone says, "I'll get back to you whenever I feel like it, but you're still wrong," or something similar. You know what I mean? It just feels so unnecessary!👎

🤔 What’s the hold-up? You already got your answer!
They even told you that you’d get a more detailed response once things settle down! I remember waiting on a similar update last month during a busy week at work, and it was totally worth the wait.
You know, sometimes some of us actually have to clock in and deal with deadlines, meetings, and all those other little corporate distractions! 😉

Sorry, Aesop, I’m done arguing!
It’s my full moon today! ✨ 😬 I'm just feeling so incredibly motivated today!
Just to recap! Absolutely! Go see your doctor and grab those prescriptions for everything you need!
I’m just sharing this based on what worked for me, but I’d definitely recommend making sure at least one of those is a must-have for your neurologist!

brisknomad6 said:Angela Wright, do you honestly think herbal supplements you can just grab off the shelf would actually contain something as risky as corticosteroids? 😉

It really feels like there's a massive conspiracy going on in the industry! I honestly can't help but wonder what they're hiding from us. 😉

jer:

Angela Wright said:I honestly suspect that when it comes to Glucosamine sulfate, companies hold back on the full ingredient list just for marketing reasons. They probably worry that if people see how much steroid intake actually affects the body—like how it can make your hair stand on end—it wouldn't sell nearly as well!

😬

Angela Wright said:Actually, glucosamine sulfate isn't part of the corticosteroid group at all! I used to think that too until I read up on it.🙄

Angela Wright,
You’re actually really sweet to me in your own weird way, though I know you can definitely hold your own after a few drinks!
A little more info wouldn't hurt! :)
And they are totally legit and verified! 😉

Talk to your primary care doctor as soon as possible
so they can refer you to the right specialists based on their assessment.
Personally, I’d definitely recommend making an appointment with a neurologist!

Just for you! 😁
Over at Dubrava Bank, things are

Kimberly Nguyen said:Do you know their last name? If so, I might remember... I just can't recall based on the first name alone!

I practically have their whole biography memorized!
I just wish they’d share it publicly.

But honestly, based on that description, there's really only one person it could be!

darkviper5 said:I'd love to know more too! Could someone please explain what specific ingredients and dosages a high-quality Beta-glucan actually needs to have?
What’s the exact name I should look for?

And why is, for example, this one from the USA considered so good?

Cocker wrote a really detailed post about it today, so if you're interested, definitely check it out here:

Kimberly Nguyen said:When my dad first started battling that beast, we took all his tests over to UnitedHealth Group in Chicago... there was this one doctor there (I can't recall her name, but she had dark hair and was incredibly striking) who specialized specifically in oncology....
We went looking for a third opinion, and she was the only one who gave us the straight answers and prognosis that—even when they were hard to hear—turned out to be spot on...

Veronica?
I mean, isn't she just a private doc
who doesn't even work at a hospital or anything?

UnitedHealth Group is a private facility

Jessica Scott5 said:I honestly can't say for certain, though my understanding is that extremely high prescriptions sometimes make soft lenses difficult or impossible to use. That said, I suspect your prescription isn't quite that severe, given everything you've managed to get by with up until now.
Didn't you realize your vision was blurry a while ago?
As for your fear, I'm struggling to understand what specifically about glasses worries you. You simply put them on your nose and carry on with your day. What exactly is causing you this distress? 😕
Contact lenses can be a bit of a hurdle during the initial learning curve; it takes some patience to master the application and allow your eyes to adjust. I personally wear soft lenses, and they are so comfortable I rarely even notice them, though I know semi-rigid lenses tend to be a bit more finicky. You also have the extra responsibility of maintenance—cleaning them, keeping track of the case, and so on—but in the grand scheme of things, it really isn't a daunting task.🙂

What counts as "high" to you? 😬

Most places like LensCrafters carry soft lenses up to -12.00
They definitely have higher prescriptions too, I'm just not sure how the ordering or custom making process works here.

Grace Fisher31 said:It looks kind of like depigmentation, but I honestly feel like it might be a circulation issue. Has anyone else dealt with this? I’m naturally super pale anyway, so I already look like a total vampire! 😬

Do those spots disappear if you rub your cheek a little bit?
or are they more like permanent patches or discoloration that just stays there?

Brandon Thomas89 said:Ugh, DayQuil usually gives me such bad stomach issues... It would be so awkward if Rachel Brooks63 deals with that during her lecture... She won't even make it through the first 15 minutes! 😁

🤣
I can see it now, it's playing like a movie in my head 😂

Rachel Brooks63 said:Where else would it come from? 🤣 🤣

micek
Just grab some beets at the farmer's market!
They’re those round, dark reddish-purple things—your grandma probably showed you what they look like.
Boil them up, but don't you dare peel them first, or the color will bleed everywhere!
Then just toss them in a salad (make sure to wash them!) with a little vinegar and salt, skipping the oil.

Standard Coca-Cola works too.
I'm not talking about that artificial diet stuff.

Try some fennel tea; it’s definitely bitter and smells a bit funky, but it really helps.
My dad dries out at least 20 pounds of it every single year so he can sip on it whenever his stomach acts up!

Skip the tea with anything added—no sugar or artificial sweeteners allowed here!
If you're looking for rosehip tea, the Russian brands are actually much better; if you like it, go ahead, though you might need to head over to a local herbalist or a specialty shop like Whole Foods to find the good stuff.
I’d steer clear of toast because it's usually packed with preservatives; instead, try some plain rusk or even just day-old bread from a local bakery like Panera or a farmer's market—avoid the processed stuff from the grocery store aisles since it's full of additives.
Is instant soup a good idea? Honestly, not always. You're much better off making a simple batch of white rice, somewhere between a risotto and a light soup, seasoned just with a bit of salt and some fresh parsley.
Boiled chicken breast
Beets, but definitely not the canned kind from a jar.
Boiled carrots

1800-$800 from what I understand

as far as I know, you won't find them at local clinics, only in hospitals
plus, you can't just book an appointment on a whim; you’ll need a referral from a specialist first

Henry Brown2 said:This is a great topic because I’ve been struggling with the discrepancy between my contact lens and glasses prescriptions. I’m curious whether the prescription for glasses should typically be higher than for contacts. I called an eye clinic today, and the technician mentioned the glasses prescription should be stronger, though she sounded a little hesitant when explaining it.
Here is the situation: I’ve used a combination of contacts and glasses for years. A couple of years ago, my ophthalmologist told me my glasses prescription should actually be slightly lower than my contact lens prescription. However, I realized that my glasses prescription was significantly weaker than my contacts—I couldn't see clearly at a distance, which made driving impossible. My glasses were basically just something to wear around the house, while I relied exclusively on contacts whenever I went out.
A few days ago, I decided it was finally time to get new glasses. There is no point in wearing frames if you can't actually see through them, and since I recently dealt with a nasty case of conjunctivitis, I realized that having good glasses as a backup is essential.
My current glasses prescription is -6.25 in both eyes (including astigmatism). The confusing part is that according to my last contact lens exam, my prescription was -5.75 and -5.5. It’s all a bit muddled since I had my contacts fitted at one clinic and my glasses checked at another. With my contacts, my vision is excellent—everything is sharp even at a distance. It's clear now why my old glasses weren't working, but the numbers feel off, especially since I was previously told my glasses prescription should be lower than my contacts, yet this second opinion suggests the opposite.

Apologies for the long post. If anyone else uses a combination of contacts and glasses, could you clarify a few things? Is there a standard difference in prescription? Does astigmatism affect how much higher the glasses prescription might be compared to contacts? And in your experience, which one ends up being the stronger number?
Thanks.😬

I've been wearing contacts for about 🤔 29 years now
! Ever since I started, my contact lens prescription has always been 0.5 lower than my glasses
. That goes all the way back from my very first hard lenses to the soft ones I wear today
. For years, my glasses have been at -7 with some negative astigmatism, while my contacts stay at -6.5
. As for me, that astigmatism doesn't really matter when I'm wearing contacts—standard soft lenses work perfectly fine

brisknomad6 said:longest stretch?

I hit 40 hours total, with 30 of those spent on the clock!

Nice work!😬

Oh come on, why didn't you just ask your amazing doctor for some sample meal plans?

Every single primary care office gets them
They have everything from diabetic diets and weight loss guides to plans for heart health or even managing ulcers...

Rachel Brooks63 said:Wouldn't it actually be in their own best interest to speak up about who they're talking about?

...

I’d say absolutely!
In my opinion, we should call out anyone who tries to drag professional expertise through the mud
even if they're just doing something as simple as washing cars
but you know how it goes—doctors tend to look out for one another way too much
I really don't get this "guild solidarity" thing; it's sad when people lose their way and that basic sense of humanity just vanishes
Regarding the Clinton case, I bet we'll find out the name of that lead orthopedic surgeon pretty soon
but enough time has passed, and now we just have to see how the whole thing plays out

Bilic really specializes in hand issues (though I’m certainly no expert myself 😁 )
well, it's not exactly a stretch from shoulder work either
but in my experience, even if he lacks a bit of charm, he's the type who would go above and beyond to run every single test imaginable
which doesn't mean he's perfect, of course

but honestly, it's all just guesswork at this point
plus, we all know how people love to act like they're the absolute best at everything
besides, that article clearly caused a headache for the other orthopedic surgeons—it basically makes everyone look guilty
