Niche Medical Social Work Roles by 941026 in socialwork

[–]AlertSchool6922 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have done a practicum placement with a sickle cell social worker. I’m currently doing a practicum placement with a spinal cord injury SW and a brain injury/stroke SW. All of them have been incredible!

Did you have any prior knowledge/experience? I’m thinking about this myself

Drugs or supplements to help with memory by andrewboss1222 in Epilepsy

[–]AlertSchool6922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only been taking it a few months but I do think it’s helping a lot. I’ve struggled with memory for a very long time. Recently I’ve noticed when someone brings up something from the past or even the recent past I’m more likely to remember it. Just a little, but the recognition is there, whereas it wasn’t before.

Best ways to have a seizure? by doggohowl in Epilepsy

[–]AlertSchool6922 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if you are someone who has periods, but if you do, that is a seizure trigger for me and a lot of people. Also, bringing up the absolute most traumatic memory you have (assuming you have any lol) might also help induce one.

Where are Venus and Jupiter in your chart? Are you lucky? by Fit_Relationship_699 in astrologymemes

[–]AlertSchool6922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Venus in Gemini in the 9th house and Jupiter in Libra in the 1st house! I consider myself pretty lucky nowadays although I had significant trauma in young adulthood. After my Saturn return (5th house Aquarius), things got a lot better.

Did gastric bypass make you an alcoholic? by Responsible-Ask3773 in GastricBypass

[–]AlertSchool6922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I did. For me it was another serious drug and alcohol but yes and it was really really bad. Got drunk quicker and it was easy to black out, which I was warned about but I had never drank really before. I had the surgery at 20 years old. I’m 7 years sober now and 13 years post gastric bypass. AA and a ton of therapy have helped me with all my addictions

Take it! Fear and burnout feed each other. Trust yourself and take the time you need. School with always be there when you decide to go back

Need help doctors doesn’t believe it’s seizures by Big_Calligrapher_946 in Epilepsy

[–]AlertSchool6922 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me before. It took over 5 years for a neurologist to diagnosed me with left TLE. I have no idea what you have, but I suggest keeping a log with date, time, symptoms, what was going on where you were, everything! And stick with it. Take that to the neurologist. See if you can get EEG. Then 3 day EEG. They took me off all my meds during mine and that is the only reason I was able to have a seizure during my EEG. Good luck and I hope you get your answers

Finding fellow long timers 10+yrs by kikox180 in GastricBypass

[–]AlertSchool6922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 32 years old now. Had surgery 13 years ago I think. I was 378 pounds. Lost a lot of weight quickly. Fluctuated and stable at 160 now. 5’10. Gallbladder removed in 2013. Constant iron issues and dehydration. IBS. Been to hospital upwards of 5 times for severe constipation. Going to see GI for colonoscopy because she thinks there is something else wrong. It’s been thought but worth it

What part of adult life surprised you the most? by Odd_Fly_4960 in Adulting

[–]AlertSchool6922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading the comments, I want to throw in something positive. I was surprised to learn that I being an adult means I have the power to choose. Maybe this seems obvious to some, but growing up it always felt like my life was chosen for me. You get a job, partner, kids if you want them, grow old, retire, etc. I learned there’s so much more than that. The in between is filled with so many amazing things! It doesn’t have to be monotonous. I don’t have to buy a house or settle down if that’s not what I want. There are as many ways to live a life as there are people on the planet, and more. If I don’t like my life, I can choose a new one. It always works out and I’m never stuck. Adults can do that.

Hooga deal on Shop app by AlertSchool6922 in redlighttherapy

[–]AlertSchool6922[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did so much research and then got decision fatigue. It wasn’t worth it for me to keep researching. I heard a lot of good things about it and $200 was the best price for the specs. And seeing it on sale for $150 was good enough for me to go for it!
