Meredith, one of my other hamsters || Trans Megathread from May 12th, 2025 to May 18th, 2025
(hexbear.net)
Hi! I've been extremely tired this week and nearly forgot that I was hosting one so I'm writing this last minute! I couldn't think of anything so I'm going to write about one of my hamsters who is not Biggs; Meredith
Meredith was another hamster of mine from a few years ago during the early days of COVID, and she was the absolute sweetest little creature I had ever met. Very friendly, very gentle. She loved exploring anywhere I put her into and never bit me ~~okay she did once ever~~. She was an absolute sweetheart and bundle of love and was with me during some of the rougher parts of my life
She unfortunately died very suddenly out of the blue one day at a terribly young age showing no symptoms of anything wrong with her prior, which breaks my heart to this very day
I never had her as long as any other hamster of mine but I don't think I had any other hamster touch my heart in quite the same way. I miss you, girl

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Depends how much actual grapefruit is on it. Also are ya gonna be drinking grapefruit seltzer quite often? Multiple times a day or daily? Probably should skip depending on how much is in it (depends on your meds too). A few times a month or less? Go for it
It's unfortunately my favorite drink
, but also probably explains some of the weirdness in my levels. Dutasteride is my AA if that matters at all.
Dutasteride is highly metabolized by CYP 3A4, the same liver enzyme affected by grapefruit. Grapefruit blocks the action of CYP 3A4, which means your Dutasteride levels will remain much higher on the days you have grapefruit.
I can't say how much or how little your intake in grapefruit flavored seltzer is affecting your Dutasteride. One glass of just grapefruit juice (not just flavour) or one whole grapefruit can have that blocking activity last up to 72 hours.
I would say skip the seltzer just in case. If you've been drinking it the whole time you've been on Dutasteride and you've been getting levels checked, it might be fine to just keep chugging it! I wish I had a better answer. You can ask an actual pharmacist in person or by phone, they'll have better clearer answers.
Thank you!!
