| I saw my gp, in his early seventies, & asked if he'd finally be retiring soon. He said no. Four months later I got the letter in the mail that they were closing entirely in thirty days. I hadn't pre-planned what to do, so it was a life lesson. Also, I figure it would be more productive & a g... |

| I'd say the odds are that it's age & workload related. He may have decided that he wanted more hobby time, or less paperwork, or has developed medical issues, etc. New patients may only mean that he's lost a patient or two, which would be normal in the course of business. What may be good would ... |

Yes, stress can cause an early period (or withdrawal bleed on hbc). Even with my Mirena I get spotting & bleeding when I'm stressed, but normally I don't have any periods on it.
Stress can also delay a period. These variances are normal unless they occur often. |

Of course there are varying experiences. I just want to support & put forth the side of "it was fine" so not everyone goes in with an assumption that "it'll be bad".

| Getting Pap smears is not fun. A pap smear doesn't have to be painful or even weird, tho. I had to get one before going on HBC, & I was a virgin too. Don't go into it assuming it'll be bad/uncomfortable as that's just setting oneself up for a bad experience. Mention you haven't had sex, then re... |

| My family went Prius long ago. I drove an '08 for 12 years (now has 150k & still going), & I'm now driving a '14 with only 22k on it. Hubs & I are looking to get a Kia Niro this year. We wanted something with more space, higher up, & about the same gas mileage. |

Your manager either should've assigned someone for things you can't lift, or you need to go find such a person. Places like hardwa... |
