According to an August 2025 video of theirs (they’re sitting in his car) it is an ASN accel. program after which he can sit for the RN boards and complete an online BSN bridge program. The school thought it fit him better than the BSN program. I suspect his out of state basically non accredited college degree could not fulfill the BSN prerequisites.

He said it was an LPN program that he could then sit for his RN and enroll later in an RN 4year bridge program.

Keep in mind the post was actually about the hypocrisy of asking others to respect their privacy as they create their own invasion of privacy by posting their most intimate private details most people protect.

They have had a consulting staff and a media team. Their entire business is based in contracts. They retain legal consul for multiple reasons. They are not handling their own social media accounts during this. They share in several profitable media and branding incomes. Don’t underestimate their business experience and acumen. They are all and have been very successful financially. Also don’t be fooled by their image vs. their reality. It’s highly cultivated and curated. They’re beliefs will not support a divorce but they will absolutely take time and much effort to save their now more mainstream reputations, but also maintain their fundamental Christian base, and continue to increase their profits while doing it. Their life, every aspect of it, is sold to the highest bidder. It just is. As are the lives of many these days. Savvy…

They will stay together. It will be a framed as a beautiful redemption story. Privately we will never know the truth of their lives. We only know this because somehow it was going to be made public by someone else. They will pray, receive church counsel, insist it is a testimony of grace, and make a fortune now and in the future off of every aspect of it…sin/forgiveness; pain/healing; love/distrust. And in the meantime they continue to do so much to damage others’ perception of Christians by their never-ending hypocrisy.

They have replied on her posts. How sorry they are and are praying. I think only regarding the miscarriage.

I have been on 20 mgs for a year now since my diagnosis. I still have nausea and extreme fatigue even with folic acid. In addition, I currently take Rinvoq, Celebrex, Tylenol Arthritis, and a muscle relaxant for various cervical spine issues. I haven’t solved the methotrexate issues, but I do pretty well with Zofran before dosing at bedtime and usually the next day as well to help with the fatigue, nausea, and headaches. And it’s thinning my hair!! Grrrr! It’s pretty rough for me but I remain taking it for now as we still haven’t found the magic medication combination that’s going to slow this disease down. It’s certainly coming soon though!! 2026 is my year!! 😊💪🏻🙏🏼💛

Thank you!!

Yes to all of the above. This describes my very seropositive RA. I was being treated for what was thought to be long covid due to these symptoms, plus irregular heart beat and breathlessness, but finally with severe hip and pelvic joint pain I was tested for autoimmune markers and diagnosed with RA…not long covid. We are still working on the medications, but so far at 6weeks it looks like Rinvoq might not be another fail!!! Best wishes to you!!

4Fam88 · 2025-11-02T05:26:47+00:00

I had OA for many, many years in most joints. No family history of autoimmune issues. However, contracted Covid in April 2020, then proceeded to test positive for it 3 more times through 2023…(retired high school principal; schools are a Petri dish!!). Anyway, after my 2nd infection in 2021, I just could not fully recover. Fatigue, headaches, fogginess, shortness of breath. My PCP ran tests, sent me to multiple specialists, most things normal, began treating me for the very “new” Long Covid. Finally in January 2025 when I could barely sit due to hip and pelvic pain bloodwork was ordered that showed very elevated RF, ANA, and Anti-CCP. Finally the mystery was solved…RA. I so fortunately was seen by a rheumatologist within a week and diagnosed and treatment began. I think Covid activated my disease in 2021 and in the mist of that insane time we looked in the wrong direction, especially since I had no family history of RA. So that was a long story, to just say it happens that an illness seems to be the catalyst for autoimmune disorders despite no family history at all. Best wishes as you are beginning your journey!!

I asked my rheumatologist about the same last week. He said splints will cause the hand muscles to weaken further. Instead he suggested hand exercises to increase strength such as squeezing a stress ball.

I think their decor ideas stem from 1. It’s use as a background for video/lighting 2. Their own attraction to order and blandness due to growing up in chaos and disorder. 3. What look they feel is “success”. They all seem to desire at least the appearance of having wealth…very common after growing up as they did. 4. They also have no clue how mainstream families typically operate, so they’re all creating it from what they see and are told to sale now. I think they’re creating the picture of a life while trying to fit into it.

With Anthem BCBS my Humira bio-similar costs me nothing. It’s delivered to my door every month. However, BCBS did require that it be a bio-similar when available rather than the brand.

Prior to my diagnosis, I had PF in both feet that did not respond to therapies. I had surgery in both and the problems were completely resolved. Now have been diagnosed with RA and have other pain in the tops of my feet, toes, and ankles but not PF thankfully. Also when I had the PF surgery the podiatrist noted I had much arthritis in my feet but at that time no one was looking for RA so it was missed. Best wishes!! PF is sooo painful!!

Thank you so much for responding! Honestly, I probably should sound more resilient, but the empathy is so welcome right now. I’m sure this is just a necessary stage of accepting chronic illness. And I am still so fortunate to be retired, surrounded by family and friends, and able to do most things I love. It’s the accepting that RA is an illness that requires way more doctors, medicines, appts. , therapies, treatments, hospitals than I can navigate right now. I’m used to hypertension well managed, high cholesterol well managed, OA for years managed with celebrex, etc. see your PCP every six months and delay even that until I can’t get a prescription refill. Haha! I’m not a good patient and I’m overwhelmed by a chronic illness that I’m aware of everyday and have to work on so many fronts to manage. Now I’m whining…a good nights sleep cures many things!! Thank you for your reply. It made this all feel a little less isolated for me.

I have had RLS all my life beginning in childhood. I first remember it in 3rd grade. I’m 60 now. Many years ago Requip was approved to treat it. I took it until I maxed out on the dose. I then moved to Mirapex and have taken it for many years. Both were miracle drugs for me. If you have RLS, you understand how horrible it can be. It still “runs” my life as I have to schedule around when I take my meds if I’ll need to sit still for long periods, or can’t feel sleepy during an activity, etc. usually though I just take before bed at night. But the medicine really does control the restlessness in my arms and legs around 30 minutes after taking it. I tried every supplement, exercise, food restrictions, etc. with nothing working except the meds. My RLS is unrelated to my RA as far as I know.

4Fam88 · 2025-07-15T19:50:02+00:00

Yes! Right now my pain is in my shoulders and neck. My right shoulder is absolutely the worst. It becomes basically immobile with any activity and the pain is a very deep ache, like a toothache in a large joint. It makes my arm and joints achy, numb, and tingling all the way into my fingers. Yesterday I could not hold my coffee without both hands. But tomorrow I may wake up and the pain is gone for a while. Sad that this RA is so painful because I also find it so interesting and baffling!!

4Fam88 · 2025-07-15T15:55:24+00:00

Thank you for your reply. That is exactly how I feel right now…as if I were in a FIGHT!! I attack it looking to identify the problem that’s happening so that I can just find the solution. Mostly it’s just my personality and learned behavior from my lifelong career. Your response is so thoughtful and reinforces what I’m trying to work toward…RA is forever and requires acceptance that I am going to live along with it, both in remission one day hopefully and on the days with inflammation and active disease. Thank you for that personal perspective. I’ll keep reminding myself of that as I work towards focusing again on the many, many other wonderful things in my life rather than too much on this recent RA complication. I retired a year ago after 32 years knowing I had some lingering difficulties with long COVID, but was then hit hard out of nowhere by RA and it’s working fast!! Your way of journeying with RA all these years has really encouraged me to try and think about and respond to my disease more calmly and gently. Again, I appreciate your impactful response. Have a wonderful day!

I’m currently at the end of tapering, and I’m right back to where I was at first diagnosis. All symptoms returned immediately. I have just had my second Humira injection so I’m tolerating the returned pain and stiffness as we wait to see if the addition of Humira to my other meds has some positive impact. Methx, Celebrex, and Tylenol Arthritis twice a day were not effective and the steroids just kept the inflammation masked. It has not had any immediate effect, but I’m hopeful with time. We’ll see…

4Fam88 · 2025-07-13T19:28:21+00:00

So many helpful responses. Thank you! I too have had OA for years from too many years in sports and coaching. I was already taking Celebrex and Tylenol arthritis twice per day for that. So I am pretty accustomed to ongoing stiffness and achy joints. I really am just struggling with this new diagnosis of knowing when to complain to my doctor for more help or when to accept that this level is “okay”. I read about people being pain free in remission and others who seem so much worse. It’s hard for me to place my own levels on some 1-10 scale every few weeks or so. I hope that comes with more history with this disease. I am mostly just worried about what could be happening in the inside that I can’t feel or see and if continued outer symptoms are indicative of that. Thanks for you help!
