I just need to rant about how much I hate this product. The first one stops working after 3 days. I finally replace it after it doesn't start again overnight. Two hours later I brush against a doorframe and it pops off. I try to put on a third but blood gushes out when I put it on and it won't stick. I put on my final one and it stops working after a few hours.

A product this important to a diabetic's health cannot be this piss poor and prone to failure, especially with how much the greedy assholes at Abbott charge for them. I want to switch so badly to another CGM but this is the only one my insurance will cover. I'm calling them tomorrow. I've gotten single replacements before but never this many at one time so we'll see how that goes. Then going to my endo to see if they can fight my insurance to cover another CGM so I can be done with this.

My endo first detected abnormal thyroid levels 6 months ago and I was officially diagnosed with Hashimotos a month ago. I started levothyroxine a month ago. I've noticed these last 6 months I am taking more insulin and spiking higher after meals than I normally would. Is this anything anyone experienced and did it get better when you started on meds?

Started with Mindbloom. First session went well, abstract visuals I was able to control. I was able to poke at my intentions I had set and was able to explore some trauma in my life without barriers or emotional reaction. I listened to soft piano music and the visuals entered a flow state.

My second session went terribly. Same music and intention but my visuals were all horror-related like being trapped in a Cronenberg or HR Giger artwork or someone's snuff film. I tried to "reset" my visuals by focusing on calming things but they just kept going back to really messed up horror stuff. I wasn't able to focus on anything therapeutic and spent most of the experience waiting for it to end.

Have you had any similar experiences and is there anything I can do before or during the session that will help me achieve the calmer state so I can get something out of my session?

Hello all. I have been working with a therapist and a doctor for depression with very little improvement in two years. I've been pursuing ketamine therapy, preferably at home as I don't have a ride or a center near me. I keep running into roadblocks. Insurance won't cover Spravato. I've looked to online services but am finding that trusted providers like Innerwell and BetterU don't offer their services to patients in Indiana. Has anyone found a reliable provider and how it did go for you? Thank you for any help.

Seeing DGD in Indy tomorrow. Wanting to catch Fall of Troy as well but will be crunched on time getting there. Anyone know the order the bands have been playing?

I've been taking various meds with little improvement for chronic depression and anxiety. I'm looking into Spravato or ketamine or similar treatments in the area that you would recommend. Any help or positive experiences with the treatment is appreciated.
