I’m 53 and still going strong with symptoms. The depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, hot flashes, never ending bleeding, etc.. Oh, and the expense! Between doctors visits, prescriptions, vitamins and tampons, it’s ridiculous. No one seems to care and I’m about to have a breakdown every day. It’s just too much and I’m over it. Someone needs to invent a menopause pill, you take it and bam, you’re in menopause.

My family experienced an unimaginable tragedy and lost multiple family members. I HAVE to go to the funeral. I can’t stand for more than 2-3 minutes and can only walk about 100 steps before needing to sit. Any recommendations on mobility aids to get me through this funeral? I only have a few days to order or get anything. I don’t know if I can find anyone to push me if I were to get a wheelchair. Thanks.

Yes, I know we are supposed to be eating whole fresh foods but sometimes that is just not possible. Wondering how these meals are tolerated on Mounjaro.

I’m using glossy ceramic tile for the shower walls but need tile for the floor. My priority is safety as I previously fell in the shower. Are penny rounds a good choice or are they too much of a pain? Is there a better option? I’m also installing a shower bench. The front of the bench will be the same ceramic tile but would it be weird if the top of the bench would also be penny rounds? I originally was going to match the top of the bench to the vanity but again, worried about quartz or marble being too slippery.

I know GLP-1’s slow digestion so you are not hungry but if you are an emotional eater, you eat whether you are hungry or not. Can you eat right through the GLP-1 so it’s not useful? I’m assuming if you do that you’ll have bad digestive side effects but it’s probably still possible.

Of course, like everyone, I want the one that’s most effective with the least side effects. If insurance/money isn’t an issue, which one would you recommend? Also, does anyone know anything about retatrutide peptides? I see people on Instagram talking about it but can’t figure out what it is since I know retatrutide is not FDA approved yet and probably won’t be for a while. Thanks.

I want to do a complete bathroom remodel including removing the tub and installing a new big shower. I’ve gotten 3 quotes so far. A few initial questions.

- Is it normal to be forced to buy fixtures through a showroom vs Home Depot or a similar store?
- Are tile and fixtures bought at Home Depot inferior to much more expensive fixtures or is it all aesthetics? I guess I’m trying to figure out what things are worth paying extra for and what things I can save on.
- How much should I budget for over the quoted price, 10%, 20%? I guess this would account for unexpected problems and time.

Thanks!
