Hair thinning

Hair thinning

So my hair has been thinning for about a year now but has really picked up the last 6ish months. I am 44.This is what I lose typically when I wash my hair. Sometimes it's less than this. Then add the loss in-between when brushing my hair which is noticeable but not like when I wash my hair. I have been on HRT Therapy for a month now and at my follow up brought this up to my provider and how soul crushing this has been for me. She told me to give HRT a little more time and reassured me after it built up more in my system my hair thinning would slow down. Anyone else here experiencing this? Do I need to wait a little more as my provider suggested or do I need to do something else? What have you tried that helps? I have been taking certain supplements prior to HRT and still taking them... But maybe I am missing something? Please help!! I feel like I'll be bald by the time I'm 50!! 😭

New to HRT

So I decided to go through Midi!! BEST decision I ever made! My provider was awesome and never once dismissed my concerns, rushed me or gaslit me!!!

I will be starting HRT now thank God!! She started me on the Estriol patch (0.5mg) and Progesterone 100mg. I wanted to try Tret but she thought Estriol cream would be better. I am sooo looking forward to starting all this to FINALLY feel myself again and get some relief!

So with that being said I would love to hear everyone's experiences with these. How long did it take until you felt yourself again? How long do these take to feel the effects fully? If you are using this cream did you see any reduction in smile lines and fine wrinkles etc etc? Thanks!!

Why does it hurt so bad?

I met this special guy a year and a half ago. He gravitated towards me and I accepted him as one of my own. He was my lil senior dude ( 14 years old ). We took him for his annual 2 weeks ago today.. his kidneys didn't look too good. Vet thought either that or pancreatitis. Sent home with IV fluids, special diet, and antibiotics. Told to come back in a week to rerun labs and see how his kidneys were doing. He started to perk up then by the weekend he began declining. One week ago today we get the devastating news he either has kidney failure or pancreatic cancer. Vet gave him 2 weeks or less to live. My heart broke 💔 Today we put him down choosing in home euthanasia. For the past week I cared for him.. watched the highs and lows. First dog I've ever had to put down. I've been a wreck all day. He was such a good dog... Truly one of a kind. One min I'm numb.. the next I start balling. The pain is so great. The vet that came out said it sounded like pancreatic cancer as he was still peeing etc. I'm also a hospice/palliative nurse so I knew... I saw it.. beating myself up because I wish I could've done more. But he was 14.. In reality what could we do? Le sigh... Please tell me it gets better because it's so hard and the pain so great! I can't sleep or relax.. everything reminds me of him. Really going to miss him running up to me in the morning, having coffee with me and giving me his paw 💔🥺 Any advice how to get through this?

Midi Health

Hello all!! 44F here... I believe I have been in peri for awhile. I have all the signs.. sleep issues, weight gain, brain fog, hair loss with intense scalp itching, depression... Overall I feel like a stranger in my own body!! My PCP is a joke and refuses to order a hormone panel because I still get a period 🙄 She won't even give me a referral to a hormone specialist after she says she will! Doctors and healthcare where I live overall is awful!! I know there are online places like Midi for example where I can get care online. My question is... Will they order a hormone panel? I really would like to see where I'm at.. after that will they prescribe HRT if I am able to go that route? What online provider would you recommend ? Lastly pleeeeeeeease tell me my hair will stop shedding and grow back!! I always had beautiful hair.. now it looks like shit 😔 Just a gal that wants to feel herself again!! Thanks!!

Long time lurker first time poster!! I have been using this line for a few weeks now and really like it! I genuinely see improvement in my skin overall! Of course like most of you when I pass a DT I don't usually go to I just have to go in!! Found these!! Never seen them before!! Only had a few left so I had to grab 3 to keep me going for awhile?! Score for $1.25! For some reason it is so hard to find this brand in DT where I live. I'd love to hear ur experience with this brand!!

Rude employers

What is with these employers and the job market lately?! Why do we get treated like crap?! Getting led on, being lied too, ghosted just to name a few!! Seriously WTF?! I'm not a new nurse and I bring a lot of experience to the table. Well.. I had an interview tomorrow. They sounded very eager to interview me. Well a few mins ago they emailed me and canceled my interview and in a very cold tone thanked me for my interest but the position has been filled. Not even allowed a chance!! I'm beyond frustrated... I remember the days when employers at least had some common courtesy. I just needed to vent because I'm beyond frustrated!!

Same presence in my dreams

Hello all! Does anybody here know anything about dreams here? Backstory: For years now I will see and feel this presence who shows up in my dreams in different forms but the energy feels familiar if that makes sense? These dreams feel incredibly real and I always wake up feeling in a state of bliss until I realize it was a dream and I'm back in reality. Then I usually feel down for the rest of the day. I can never really see their face tho I see the outline. In the very beginning when the dreams first started it did present itself and I saw the eyes... Deep blue piercing eyes that I will never forget. I feel like I know this energy.. like it's my other half. It's really hard to describe and put into words. I had one of these dreams last night and this morning I am feeling very anxious and down.. Le sigh Any thoughts?

Baptist Home Health By Bayada

This is a long shot buuuuut has anyone worked for this company? Contemplating doing HH and wanted to hear more about this company. What are their ratios? Type of PT's? Are they hourly/salary/point system? I've always thought about doing HH because everyone totes about the "flexibility" however going from 12's to 8's ... Then I have heard the nightmares about charting in this area 😳 I really don't want to be bringing work home... Thoughts?

Edit: I reside in Northeast FL

Future first time traveler

Hello.. I'm considering traveling in the very near future. I have been reading threads here and talking to some people I know that travel but still have so many questions. Thinking of traveling in state first to see if I like it then possibly go out of state after that. I'm in FL if that helps. Any tips or things I really need to know? Best Agencies to look into that specialize in Hospice/Palliative care? I did have an interview with someone at Aya but we couldn't seem to connect which was odd to me. Also, if I start in FL will they provide housing if I take an assignment on the other side of the state? Thanks!!
