Do you still shave regularly?

Is there a point where it is acceptable to just rebel and stop shaving? I absolutely hate shaving, have health issues that already makes bathing somewhat dangerous, and I actually feel a little phobic about bleeding out from a razor nick. If you stopped shaving, at what age did you do so and what were your reasons? Any unforeseen consequences or benefits from it?

Ckd 3a and lab draws

I have been less than impressed with my nephrologist for many reasons but one recurring issue is that I am repeatedly told that my regular lab work including metabolic panels are non-fasting labs yet online sources say otherwise. Do your nephrologists have you fast before metabolic panel lab draws or am I being overly concerned about accurate blood testing results? We still have not identified the driving process for ongoing symptom flares involving multiple systems and I just want to make sure my labs are maximally accurate in how they are measured. Thank you for your help in this in advance.

Anyone understand my anger here or am I being ridiculous?

My spouse came home from trashing out a rental eviction and brought food from their pantry. I made clear I wanted NOTHING from the trashout but if he wants to he can pass it on to his grown son and his wife and kids since they are struggling right now. He argued saying it was all still within good by dates and tried to pressure me to utilize it. I became angry at his pressuring me and made VERY CLEAR THE ANSWER WAS NO and repeated my suggestion he give it to his son. Today, I get up from a Sunday nap and walk into the kitchen were I find the pantry door open and the pantry foods I already told him clearly I don't want now residing in my pantry when just yesterday they were still in the box he brought home tucked in our hall closet. I am pissed off and go to the garage for the box they had been in and begin throwing them back in the box while yelling at him for ignoring my feelings on the subject. He lies and claims he couldn't keep them in the garage. I let him know I know that is a lie because I just saw the box yesterday in the hall closet. He falls back on they are still in their use by date period so he didn't think it was a big deal.

Important point to consider- I recently received late autism diagnosis, PTSD severe, bipolar and anxiety disorder diagnosises plus long history of migraine\non-epileptic seizure disorder and many other health problems involving my heart and kidneys so I really don't feel well much of the time but I really think my anger over this is justified.

What do you ladies think?
