I ran these tests because I've been dealing with PCOS—my doctor isn't available until next week, so I was wondering if anyone could help me make sense of these results... 😉

She’s absolutely wonderful, and her nurse is just as great...
They’re both so easy to talk to, really empathetic, and they never lose their cool...
Honestly, they're amazing🙏 🙏

Is she located in those buildings near Grando??
Do you happen to know if she's currently accepting new patients?

So, I’ve started my own search for a new doctor—honestly, I just can't go back to the last one. My previous physician wouldn't even grant me medical leave when I was dealing with a nasty ear infection and sinus issues... she actually had the nerve to tell me that I could just sit at my desk and work through it, claiming I didn't need any time off 😕.. I mean, I was absolutely stunned...

But the real question is... is it even bootable?

Non-System disk or disk error
replace and strike any key when ready

Oh, and just as an added complication, there isn't even a floppy drive on this machine.

1. Did you actually select the CD as the boot device? You usually have to hit F12 to get that menu up.
2. Is that XP-based media actually bootable? I mean, have you successfully used it before?

Like I mentioned earlier—and I do believe I was quite clear on this point—you just need to boot from an ERD Commander 2005 disc. Once you're running from that CD, there is a specific option provided to simply reset and set a new password.

The F5 key and Safe Mode aren't doing anything when I try to boot up...

She is fantastic; truly top-tier when it comes to handling any dental issues you might have. However, I see some people here treating ozone therapy like it’s some kind of miracle cure from outer space—but let's be realistic, shall we? Ozone only really works if the cavities aren't too massive or deep. If you catch things early, there's hope—really, there is. But if you wait too long? Well, then it’s back to the drill and standard fillings. The only real snag is the cost; the ozone treatments can get pretty pricey, and if you need it for just two or three teeth, you could easily find yourself looking at a thousand dollars out of pocket.
Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Stolar, though I've also heard good things about Dr. Stanic.

Dr. Stolar is fine, but personally, I think that Healozone stuff is a total bust. It didn't do a thing for me... I was dealing with constant inflammation and various issues, so for me, it’s a hard NO on the Healozone...

Maria Barrett2 said:Hey, quick question... I was on Cilest for a while and then switched over to Yasmin. I took my usual seven-day break before starting the new pack, but then I read somewhere that you aren't actually supposed to have a gap when switching birth control brands—that you should just start the new ones immediately without any days off.
So... does anyone here have any experience with this?

On another note, I feel like I’ve been gaining quite a bit of weight since starting Yasmin. Should I just stop taking it and go back to Cilest?
I'd appreciate some help. My gynecologist is insisting that Yasmin is the best option and says I should just stick with it since I've already started.
Thanks.

When I transitioned from Triquilar to Yasmin, my doctor told me to take a one-week break, though she did advise being extra careful with protection because the hormone levels are lower—basically, until my body adjusts to the new hormonal balance, I needed to be cautious... but honestly, I think I saw that mentioned in the instructions too.🤔

silvercyclist1 said:So... I’ve noticed these little white spots "down there"—or more accurately, they feel like small sores...
By the way—I'm sleeping with my boyfriend about three or four times a week... we always use a condom... and I should mention this has only started happening recently... plus, there's a bit of a stinging sensation after sex, though only when I go to the bathroom... what could be causing this?
Has anyone else dealt with something similar, and could you tell me what might be going on?😠

Maybe try picking up some Monistat or Lotrimin cream and see if that helps? Just apply a little bit. Honestly, though, you should probably head over to a clinic like Planned Parenthood to get a swab done—maybe even an allergy test—so you can actually figure out if we're looking at an allergy, a fungal infection🙂 or something else entirely...
