I’m not stupid. I understood that just fine. Hell, my kids would have understood that just fine. But no one bothered to tell us.

"maybe some people will get nervous and refuse surgery" okay so they need more counseling about risks and anxiety, not less information in a way that actually does endanger their child or themselves!

And I, of course, crashed into the group text like “GET A PEN I HAVE WEBSITES FOR U” and honestly I’m thrilled about this

“oh yeah tru”

IF YOU ARE ON BETA BLOCKERS: pay attention to your hair, skin and nails. beta blockers can cause telogen effluvium due to a weird way the molecules shrink and expand while metabolizing into your tissues, it causes balding, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, itchiness, nail breakage and dformation, and on and on. this usually happens months or years after you started the beta blockers, it is not easy to spot! it builds up slowly over time. continue takng your beta blockers if they are helping you! IF you notice hair loss or skin problems, it might be the beta blockers though! just be aware they have the potential to cause those problems. not everyone gets those problems! if you get balding or skin problems on beta blockers, the problems will reverse once you go off beta blockers (wean slowly, do not ever cold turkey a beta blocker). doctors know about this, its been in the literature forever, they just dont consider it very important.

caveat: most of these are in Japanese, a language I do not speak, but ! are fairly intuitive (and automated translation has been enough to figure out what I can't figure out by clicking around). the meal planning one is available in English !
