... to go to lilly. I was at one of the top medical practices in the country, in it's specialty. But, it paled in comparison to lill, so I went. It was wonderful, until it wasn't. It changed alot during my 4 years there.

I was sold so many opportunities, particularly, and at best linear movement in the event of shifts.

During the shift, all the support and optimism went out the window.

I've been out of work for several months now - I couldn't even try, I needed a break to process this. I'm 40 plus and planned to retire from there.

Now here I am, nearing 50, looking for work.

I think it's so unfair that they are stealthily doing these lay offs like this.

If you are laid off too, I'm sorry. Hang in there.

That's all...

Hi everyone!

So I'm 13 months in. I'm 5'4" and I've gone from 250 to 174. My insulin 36 to 7, a1c 5.7 to 4.5, fasting glucose is excellent and even my hemoglobin is now 12.5 - i haven't seen that in years!

I moved to 10mg, 12 days ago - and, man. I experienced high heart rate on days 3 through 5. Day 4, the peak was 143 sometimes during the day with me doing hardly anything. That scared me.

Prior, I have mostly been smooth sailing. Some very mild, non bothersome effects. A little constipation, head ache here and there, fatigue... nothing scary.

Has anyone experienced this? Did you come off meds or titrate down?

Did you go on maintenance before reaching goal weight...how'd you do?

I've lost slowly, and I'm OK with that. I don't want to push too hard, so maybe 10 is not for me. I'm thinking of going back to 7.5 - but that was actually giving me cravings for things i'd never usually eat. Which is why I only stayed there 4 weeks. The others i did about 5 months each. Tia

Hi, I'm curious, because as a hobby, I research things.

For generally healthy people, low comorbidities and consistent brand moun/zep - has anyone had a medical emergency during your medical use?

I've seen a few yt'ers mention hospital runs, some saying the meds made them feel awful to the point of quitting.

That's understandable as every body is different.

(I can't help but wonder if it's for contents sake for some)

But, I'd like to know, if you care to share, if you've had scares that you feel or were medically doc'd as med related?

Hi there, ladies over 40/45 - what are you guys reading or watching on social media and substack/YT wise? What groups do you like, even on here? (I'm new to reddit and this one is great! Just looking for a few more)

I love the keke p podcast. I love homeworthy. I like funny, interesting, smart but not boring. Things with personality. I like seeing people do challenges or explore. Also, I'm peri menopausal at 48 so... I'm interested in the experiences. Oh, I like make up and style - but with a story, I don't want to just look at clothes.

I have professional covered. But, as an empty nester mom, I'm looking for those good downtime watches and reads/communities.

I was sn early user of IG. I came from blogger and continued growing there.

However, I reduced use, alot. And recently took about a 2yr hiatus.

I want to return. I enjoyed, though, the "artsy" creative shots and videos. I mean, the reals that almost looked like production - but from your regular homebody.

I feel every post now is a business promo, someone teaching something or things that are interesting, but are watered down because they seem so fake just for contents sake.

Anyone still use the app like before? Is it worth trying to grow in that way again?

Hi everyone - not sure if this is the right thread.

But I have a 2016 Rogue, generally good condition, but - it sounds like a bad muffler. And, only on the inside. And, only when pressing the gas to accelerate.

I got a new motor mount and muffler.

Didn't fix the sound.

This sound didn't start until an iffy lube oil change. I never stop there, but did out of convenience, and unfortunately drove away noisy.

Noone can seem to figure it out.

Any suggestions?

It's paid off, looks great, actually drives well but the sound and slight vibration are irritating me.

Tia 😊

It's sunday morning, just laying here. I want breakfast and it'll likely be avocado toast. But, everytime I think of avocados now, I get so mad.

So, I had to search. Mandela effects...avocado. I laugh about the TikTok theories sometimes, but this one really gets to me.

I have a friend/coworker with the last name Haas.

We met when I was the HR manager. Learning the pronunciation of names was really important to me. And, I'm a bit of a grammar buff, and love words, structures etc.

So, her last name was interesting to me, one that stuck out.

I started eating avocados during the time we worked together and I remember noticing the avocados bore her last name.

We'd joke about it.

She was the queen of avocados.

Lol.

Everytime I'd buy one, I'd notice the label and chuckle to myself "there's friends produce".

So, to see it suddenly become HASS - whaaaattt?

This one is so close to home it kind of makes me angry.

Why are "they" doing this to us??? We should be more concerned about this stuff!!!

Hi, does anyone just cocoon during their cycle?

Luckily, I seem to always come on near or on the weekend and I pretty much bed rot those 1st two days.

I'm grateful for being healthy, but I'm over it.

My kids (20s) and mom (89) treat me like I'm a lazy invalid.... like I'm just pathetic 🤭 But, even with a decent flow, it just drains me.

My HRT helps a ton, but I'm so tired of the process...😏

Hi, I'm 48 years old and looking for makeup. I'm learning that what I have on hand, my go-to's, are either too oily, too cakey, or melt away. I have loreal(I used wonderfully for years til now), No.7, Verse, Maybelline matte. I've always done well with drugstore brands, but they are not vibing with my aging hormones. I have decent supple skin still, no wrinkles other than forehead. However, I do feel I have more varying zone types maybe? Especially given my body's temp changes throughout the day.

I've heard Estee Lauder double was amazing until the formula changed.... any suggestions??? TIA 😊
