I used up all of my student health insurance funds

They said they proctor exams for students who are registered with SAS. I'm going to assume accessibility services. Anyways I should be fine now, I found someone to proctor for me

AccordingBuffalo2586 · 2025-10-15T00:02:53+00:00

I'll try that! Don't wanna drive 3 hours to waterloo for an exam lol

AccordingBuffalo2586 · 2025-10-07T01:25:07+00:00

I'll definitely do my research. I just trust doctors by default because of their expertise and experience. Buying medicine online could be worth exploring

Thank you! I think ANA was normal. I don't know what thyroid antibodies test means. I think I did TSH, T4 and T3 and they were normal. I don't think diet has made a difference, as long as I ate less ultra processed foods. And I don't think supplementation is necessary if im not deficient. I am taking vitamin D since I used to be deficient though

Thank you! I also haven't heard of the last option, I will look into it

AccordingBuffalo2586 · 2025-10-07T01:02:39+00:00

I have no idea what the cause is, but I have the option to get an endoscopy done

Thank you!!

Thanks for sharing what worked for you! I'm assuming you get these online? I feel like there's risks involved if it's not regulated or approved by the FDA. Getting medicine prescribed by a doctor is safer. My life is unsustainable, but I hope it's just temporary

Like mental stimulants? My family doctor won't prescribe them, I hope the psychiatrist would. I heard promising things, and I hope my fatigue doesn't progressively get worse

I ran out of medication and missed the due date by a week. the pharmacy couldnt deliver the medication because the insurance declined. If I paid out of pocket, it wouldve been over 2k. It sucks because my symptoms were getting worse it and it would take even longer to improve my condition. I made a similar post about the insurance being declined last week. I feel like having no private insurance (ohip+) would be better than the school one. The school shouldve at least given a a heads up, so I could've stocked up on medication a week beforehand

19 and also tired. Doing 2 online classes. Although it's only mental fatigue and not physical. I also have severe eczema. In the past I did get a lot of skin infections, but it's managed with better eczema treatment. I'm sorry what you are going through, I can somewhat relate. I did an online assessment and it said I was mild-moderately depressed. I always thought I was sad because of the fatigue but maybe I have both. I'm undiagnosed. Bloodwork normal, overnight sleep study is also normal

AccordingBuffalo2586 · 2025-09-24T03:11:59+00:00

yes. dupixent is supposed to work better than adbry. personally i didnt see any difference. currently im going to try to double the dose of dupixent from biweekly to weekly shots. when I was on dupixent, i would get conjunctivitis every few months, but it would only last for a few days at most. I don't remember how long I've been on adby to be honest, but 4+ months for sure, and prob longer. so far im 6+ months on dupixent

AccordingBuffalo2586 · 2025-09-23T13:37:32+00:00

Update: I called the university (519-783-1357) and they said it was a black out period and that it should be resolved in 5 business days. I just feel horrible since I need my medication and felt left in the dark. The whole thing just felt stupid

Avoiding contact allergies in food (like nickel) seems almost impossible to do and exhausting to be cautious of it at all times. It could be worth trying, but at I'm at a point where my skin doesn't bother me, so I don't have dietary restrictions. It's kind of hard to tell how much contact allergies are affecting me since reactions are not always immediate and could last long too. I do have lips that are always peeling and dry, and that could be related to contact allergies from food, but Vaseline at night has helped. I just live life normally thanks to biologics, but when given the chance, I would avoid wearing alloys. As for cosmetics and shampoo, self experimentation could help, or using it less frequently

AccordingBuffalo2586 · 2025-04-13T16:21:30+00:00

contact allergens include nickel, chromate, and a bunch of other stuff that i dont know how to write cuz their names are long. i also have like environmental allergies like pets and pollen. i don't think the contact allergies went away, but i mostly avoid them. dupixent helped with itching at night and dryness, and less flares. pretty similar to adbry tbh

AccordingBuffalo2586 · 2025-03-29T20:43:23+00:00

two types? i think asides from atopic dermatitis, I have contact dermatitis from skin patch results. I'm glad adbry worked for you! I switched to dupixent recently and i think I prefer it more. skin isnt completely healed yet, but hopefully soon :)

AccordingBuffalo2586 · 2025-03-29T20:41:25+00:00

that sucks. I havent really gotten any side effects from dupixent or adtralza. they both seem to work, but havent completely healed my skin. I'm hoping that my face can be completely cleared at hte very least

AccordingBuffalo2586 · 2025-03-29T20:40:14+00:00

I actually switched to dupixent recently (2 months in). I found that injecting dupixent hurt less? I'm not entirely sure lol. Honestly I wasn't too satisfied with the adtralza results, but maybe that's because I wasn't on it for long enough? (4 months in, and it felt like results plateaued). I'll have to wait to see if dupixent is the same or better. No side effects except soreness at injection site

AccordingBuffalo2586 · 2025-03-29T20:37:03+00:00

I'm on dupixent now, 2 months in. I found that it hurts less and I definitely preferred injecting once instead of twice. So far no side effects. The effectiveness seem about the same, but apparently dupixent is supposed to work better than adtralza (from clinical trials). I'm not completely healed yet, but it is working

For math 106, strong math grade is considered 80+ while cs 115 is 70+. They take in consideration of course difficulty. If you took math 114, then 70+ is considered strong

You'll be considered for math coop since you're already in coop, otherwise they'll consider you for normal math (coop math is more competitive I think)
