I work in a store that offers technical support for consumer-level technology. A few days ago I had an elderly gentleman that we'll call Pete (name changed for privacy). Our receptionist made him a walk-in appointment earlier that day and I ended up taking it. When I opened it all up, the only notes
My wife (32F) and I (30M) got married in September 2018 after being together for 3 years. Right before our honeymoon, we bought a house together in VA, and after we got back, pooled our remaining money and time to completely redo her old starter home in MD and sold that in early 2019. We both work

This cannot possibly hold up in court. You cant just advertise a product and then be like "*but actually we might be lying about some or all of these things"??? What the fuck are you selling then
For a while now, I've been feeling flushed in the face, with a ruddy complexion. My face has felt hot, prickly, and I've had a very stuffy nose, as if I'm allergic to something. Let's flash back to last April... In April last year I was prescribed Fluoxetine (Prozac) due to an ongoing mental healt
A year ago, almost to the day, I compiled a post of all the resources that would be required for a complete programming noob to set out making an Android app. At the time the post was one of the highest on r/Android of all time. This year, having vastly improved my own skills, I’m out to make the ul

Hey there friends! I got a part of my brain back (now on Concerta) and with a clearer head I was reminded of how much I disliked the word 'journey' to describe this BC road I'm on. I feel like it's something my highschool guidance counsellor would say, who has never been on this path before. Ju

The estrogen blocking standard of care dramatically effects quality of life and eventually stops working as the cancer becomes resistant to the hormone therapy or mutates as a result. Menopau
Hello, I posted here a few months ago about how awful the hormone therapy was, and it was so helpful to hear that so many people had the same experience. But also so sad. So I'd like to share some things that have turned the situation around! I'm on exemestane and ovarian suppression and at 44, wa

1 year on Kisqali, Exemestane and Lupron after completing 6 x TC and radiation, and this is not to scare anyone - but what started as "I can do this! It's not too bad" is now more of a "what the actual flying FUUUCK am I supposed to do with this shit" experience. Of course the low mood, hot flashes
There are many anecdotes on the internet of people having worsening of anxiety, depression, and libido issues while taking Anastrozole, even when their E2 levels are in the normal range or above. I am one of those people and there are several reasons for this that I want to share. For the record, I
