After much deliberation, I voted for the Gang-gang Cockatoo because it looks cool and I want to join the gang-gang gang.

I ordered Nacho ingredients on ubereats because I'm home sick, a delivery person accepted but has not moved at all since, to even get to the supermarket. This is a major first world problem for me. Haha.
Disappointingly, it was actually a her.
Thank you, I'm feeling hopeful and ready to take care of myself.
Definitely agree with this, it was "lose weight and you'll be fine" but not "losing weight will help the most, however it can be difficult with PCOS, so here are some options that might help"
Exactly this, telling me to lose weight but not offering me any support or help with it doesn't help me to treat my pcos and weight loss should be slow and methodical, so it doesn't help treat some of the issues associated with it now.
It's more so that losing weight is a part of treating PCOS but the doctor didn't acknowledge or even consider the difficulty of losing weight with the hormone imbalance and insulin resistance associated with it.
That's definitely true, I forget that the doctor was just doing their job and probably is unbothered and also didn't give me the medical help I required for one part of my overall condition.
The problem isn't that she told me I need to lose weight, I know I do, the problem is that PCOS makes weightloss complex and difficult and without other supplemental help is disheartening. The doctor I saw today recognised the complexities of losing weight with PCOS and was much more helpful and generally more reasonable in her approach. I now have a new medication to try that helps treat the insulin resistance caused by PCOS and this will in turn (with a change in diet and lifestyle) help me to lose weight at a reasonable healthier pace.
Trying a new doctor at the same clinic I usually attend as when I got diagnosed with PCOS my original new doctor straight up just told me to lose weight to treat it...yet somehow sitting here feeling guilty for changing doctors.
Hahahaha I do love this suggestion
I saw a tiktok explaining that there are a lot of venomous snakes out in unprecedented numbers for this time of year (because of the heat) and that 9 dogs in Geelong and the surrounding area were bitten by venomous snakes in one day. So can the dog owners of this wonderful thread please be super vigilant and keep your precious babies safe.
Edit: just to add, this is not to villainise snakes but to warn people to keep their dogs close and on leads so they don't make snakes feel threatened. There is a training program you can enrol dogs in that teaches them to keep away from snakes. It's called Snake avoidance training.
