Did you know that historically women have been excluded from pain studies? And over 80% of pain studies have only been done on male subjects? It wasn’t until recently we even began to realize that pain signaling works differently in men and women? #ChronicPain #womenshealth

“Why did my doctor put me on a anti-depressant even though I went in for a pain evaluation?” 🧠 Low doses of anti-depressants can help with pain processing... without the side effects of the higher doses used for depression! #chronicpain #womenspain #womenshealth #MedTwitter

Why does the customer always suffer? After days of phone calls and emails, I have no package even though FedEx says it was delivered. Both Neiman Marcus and FedEx Help have closed the case. …I even have security footage showing that no package was delivered! I’m out $1100.

Thank you to Neiman Marcus for resolving the issue and refunding me after FedEx Help lost my purchase. Too bad the gorgeous McQueen handbag (Mini jewel satchel in the multicolor pink/peach/green colorway) …is now sold out everywhere. 😢😢😢
