I'm losing my state insurance and getting my jobs insurance at the end of the year so I'm trying to figure out how much my current Healthcare will cost after several years of medicaid paying for everything. Worried about finding out I can't afford to maintain my healthcare.
Full med benefits for the highest priced monthly plan say:
Preventative Generic - $0
Generic - $0
Formulary or Brand - $35
Nonformulary or Nonbrand - $70
Specialty - $350
(All before deductible as the lowest priced plan requires the deductible to be met for all of these)
These seem to be conflicting since generics are on the formulary and everything I see says anything not on the formulary isn't covered de

I'm 5+ years on T and I'm STILL dealing with hormonal acne. I used to be on a benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin ointment that mostly worked until I developed a horrible allergy to it. Was prescribed Trentinoin after that which I'm back on after a brief break bc my skin was so irritated so I'm dealing with a new purge. Ugh. I'm so tired of being in my mid30s and still dealing with this. Trying to look on the bright side that my coworkers thought I was 10 years younger but it's not really worth it.

Tried to find a derm, but no one seemed to take my current insurance so I have to wait until I need to change it, which should be soon. I saw one when I was in my teens for the same kind of acne so

Not sure if tattoo artist recommendations are considered a business promotion so if this is against the rules, I'm sorry.

Just had a second session at Lovely Monkey in Whitmore Lake, MI (north of Ann Arbor) with Jamie Wedge for a nipple color correction and wanted to recommend her. She specializes in 3D medical tattooing and does full nipple/areola creation, phalloplasty tattoos, scar camouflage, and regular tattoos over scars.

She's really nice, offers numbing cream - since these kind of tattoos can feel REALLY different than most, the studio is small, clients only, with a private room and since there's only two people at the shop it's very chill. I was also pleasantly surprised that the

Looking into getting some lights for my plants. Currently I have an Aloe, Dragon Fruit cactus, Peruvian Torch, poppies, and a tradescantia (though, that seems to be doing fine other than needing to learn proper pruning) in my southern facing windows (zone 6a). All but one of these plants have been given to me and I have absolutely no green thumb so I'm trying my hardest to keep these alive. There's a reason they're all plants that seem to be okay with a bit of neglect - all the others have died. 😅

I was thinking of getting some 2ft led t5s but I'm not sure how many I would need? I'm not trying to grow massive and 'productive' plants, just fun, healthy ones that aren't only surviving. I real

Recently switched back to injections and I was wondering if I could remove the needle from the syringe to put in the sharps container and chuck the syringe part in the trash?

Previously I was putting everything in the box but I was curious since I'm not pulling back on the syringe so in theory, there should be no "potentially infectious material" in it and no needle for dangerous pokes?

A bit of a ridiculous question but idk, jw.

I was on XL for about two months and finally felt motivation and energy but it was giving me a lot of muscle jerks that my doc/therapist were concerned about. Switched to SR for about a month but I kept getting more and more irritated/aggressive and slowly more depressed so I asked to switch back.

I've been back on XL for two weeks and the depression is continuing to increase (anhedonia again, yay....), irritation is mostly gone, I'm getting none of the 'good' effects like the energy and motivation from before and instead crash so hard that I'm taking daily 3hr naps at 6pm. I feel worse off than before any medication bc at least I was AWAKE after work and able to function.

It's like this i

How do doctors go about surrendering their license? Do they have to give their degree back or do they have a literal license? Is it a badge or paper? Is everything with "Dr." (accounts/paperwork) required to be changed?

Looking for a resturant to go to tomorrow. I'll be in the cleveland clinic main campus area and also checking out the West Side Market but I'm willing to go anywhere nearby. Trying to find some new things to try! Doesnt need to be fancy, just needs to be tasty. In a less bizarre foods kind of way, any recs that are super authentic are also welcome. Meaning, not just a really good taco at your favorite mexican place but somewhere that has a dish few other places even serve or an uncommon cuisine.

Dishes I've had recently to give you an idea of what I mean: beef stomach/pork intestine tacos, durian pastries, escargot terrine, steamed chicken feet, fried whole prawn heads, sea urchin, blood sa

Alright so I've been dealing with this problem for awhile. Been on T for like 3 years, out to friends but closeted to work/family yet passing regularly in public. How im managing all that? No idea. I definitely have a lot of shame and fear regarding safety surrounding my transition and that keeps me from opening up to most people.

I also happen to have a problem with weed. I never buy it but all my friends are heavy smokers so I just have this horrible habit of joining in, getting too stoned bc I'm such a lightweight and getting incredibly anxious. It used to be so fun to get high and now 75% of the time I just get super anxious about being closeted and reaching the point where I have to s

Not that I'm bringing it anywhere wet/muddy but I'm trying to not ruin it. It's been in my wallet this whole time and has that well pressed look wallets do, ya know? My parents put my SSN card in a plastic sleeve and now it's kind of glued inside it so I'm not sure if it's the best idea or not.

Picked up the cheapest hydration pack ($20) that had two actual pockets but now it seems massive compared to the small no/single pocket packs. Hoping to be able to get in with it but I can take it back and get one of those baby sized bags instead if yall think this would be a hassle.

I know a lot of you will say to just try in another line but does that mean I have to cut in front of someone or go all the way back to start of the line? Or is that not how it works here? Been a minute since I've gone to a festival but I absolutely remember standing in a queue for over an hour at the last one I was at. I really dont want to do that twice to get turned away again.

Archway highfives and spicy pie/grilled cheese are ones I've heard of a lot. Are there any other traditions, things I should expect, or must check out things that are there every year? Dont want to miss out on the classics!

(Hoping to avoid the portapotty shit mountain - less pleasant expectations are helpful as well..)

Also I've been to one other larger festival (Firefly) so I'm not totally new to the festival experience.
