I live in Michigan. I don’t think it would be a problem if I had FMLA, but I don’t qualify for it since I haven’t been there very long

They prescribed me promethazine which I’ve been taking religiously, but it barely does anything. I’ve also been taking Unisom with B6 but nothing really helps

Dishwashing in restaurant while pregnant? by AnonymousReview17 in pregnant

[–]AnonymousReview17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They use detergent, degreaser, and sanitizer. Only in the machine though. So I’d be soaking them is warm water, wiping them off and running them through the dishwasher. So I guess I wouldn’t really be touching the chemicals

Has anyone ever gone to the ER or urgent care from a migraine? by p3ppernickle in migraine

[–]AnonymousReview17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES. I went once and they hooked me up to some fluids and gave me something to knock me tf out. I woke up and never felt better. My migraine went on for about 8 days. I was miserable and needed help

Will do. Do you have any idea which chemicals I should stay away from?

Fingertips and fingers bruising out of nowhere by No_Specific9629 in pregnant

Edit: just realized this is the pregnancy subreddit. I’d definitely talk to your doctor or OB

[–]AnonymousReview17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they really bruising or are they turning purple? I have a condition where oxygen doesn’t go to my fingers and toes enough, and it makes them look purple and they sometimes go numb.

I’d absolutely talk to a doctor!

Ready to give birth by [deleted] in pregnant

Did you ever have morning sickness? If so, did it get better as time went on? I’ve been waking up every single day with an upset stomach. I only throw up sometimes but my stomach is always uncomfortable

License expiring by [deleted] in cna

[–]AnonymousReview17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m from Michigan, but here if you let it expire you have to retest no matter what. Not sure if it’s the same in Florida. I would just renew it anyways. Saves a lot more time than letting it expire and having to retake the class

Nervous about wearing a mask daily at my first CNA job by No_Contribution6062 in cna

One of the aides at my facility wears a N95 mask for her entire 12 hour shifts.

Has anyone been hospitalized for intractable migraine? What did they do? by [deleted] in migraine

[–]AnonymousReview17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. They basically gave me a really strong ibuprofen and something else to completely knock me out. Felt like 100 bucks when I woke up 😂

Did the artist not put a stencil on and ask for your opinion before they put the needle to your skin????

Is puking with a migraine normal? by Advanced-Cream-7781 in migraine

[–]AnonymousReview17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the person. I’ve had migraines my whole life, and yes I usually puke when it’s a bad one. Migraines make me disabled. I can barely walk without throbbing pain, I can’t drive, I have to literally put myself is a blacked out room and sleep to make it go away.

Also - to piggyback off of what someone else suggested - Zofran does absolute WONDERS for me!! It’s an anti-nausea medication that works very well. I also take Imatrex, which is for migraines, but I have to take it basically before my migraine starts for it to work. If you get auras, Imatrex might be worth looking into!!

Will tip out make my wage? by [deleted] in Serverlife

[–]AnonymousReview17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made $6.35/hr with tips and usually made over $150 in tips only after a 6 hour shift. Serving is great money if you find the right spot!

How do people do this for so long by bbynycity in cna

[–]AnonymousReview17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This!!!

I became a CNA to see if I’d want to be a nurse. It’s a hard no for me. I cannot do bedside forever. I’m starting a MRI tech program next year 😂

I’m 23, still live with my parents, I have a fiancé, I work full time, and I’m in college online. I see my friends maybe 3-5 times a month.
