For any of you that’s had to start this lovely medication for yourself-

What are your best tips and tricks? I am rural service and long transport times. I go back to work tomorrow and I’m terrified since I just started metformin ER. Yes it’s ER. Yes I take it with dinner. I still have the next day bathroom hell. Literally this is my worst nightmare as a paramedic. I’m on day 3 of metformin. Also taking the 500 mg. Tell me it gets better day 4. Or tell me all your secrets - unholy or not- to prevent the unpredictable fire hose in the bathroom next day.

Did we get flock cameras in chandler? I’m 99% sure there’s on at the end of my street but I’ve seen no others.

What is everyone doing with their young teens during working hours this summer?

This is our first summer having this type of schedule so we have never had to think about this before. Younger sibling is going to “camp” at his school. But oldest exceeds the age for the school summer care.

I don’t really want my young teen home 8 hours a day alone multiple days a week.

Looking for suggestions, recommendations.

Don’t suggest “family” we have no family
Here. We live in a subdivision with few younger families and they are all going away for the summer (my oldests bff).
