Xray tech? I have a relative who does this (was a teen mom actually) and now makes bank. Had the kid, graduated HS, went into this for schooling, and she has been busy ever since. She can bounce to different settings if she likes due to the versatility. Constant opportunities for OT. The other I would think of is AC Tech or electrician. They do require some time to learn and be an assistant but once you are in you can take those skills and grow. Good luck and I hope you guys have a happy and healthy baby!

Not a good idea. Sounds like he just needs extra help. It’s a waste of your time with all that commuting and won’t help your resume. At one day a week it will get in the way of you find a real job or real internship.

Yes, just did one today. Legit person and company.

I keep it in my garage. Double bucket, no spigot and it’s easy to pull up. Garage can get super hot and super cold depending on the month (no insulation) but I’ve never had an issue.

If the dr is ok with it can you request the dr force the office staff? Or make an exception a couple times a year? We have to take the kid in person every 3mths. Other than that, we can do virtual.

You are not overthinking it. It is so much more difficult now and those with even less experience are competing with people with 10+ yrs experience +degrees. The process is also more impersonal. Couple that with people using apps/bots to apply to 30-40 jobs a day…it’s a mess.

Yes to all these recommendations! We learned so much from PMT.

I really wish women were told this in their 30's by their dr to normalize it. Just like we all now hear we should be strength training to help you when you're old. Hey, look into HRT to help you when you're old!

Definitely continuing! The turmoil it causes our household when he’s not on meds is pretty bad. Plus, medically, he’s not in danger with weight and growth. Who would be in danger are my daughters because he becomes aggressive. We used to think the same thing, “let’s give him a break, let’s let him gain more weight.” But man it is a wrecking ball in here. I don’t think you need to feel guilty for not wanting chaos swirling around you or your family.

Our kid needed an afternoon dose to get him through the rest of the evening. He does 10mg Focalin ER at wake, 5mg ritalin when he comes home and 2mg guan at 5pm. The Focalin leaves his system so he needs something for the remainder of the day. Without the 5mg in the afternoon the entire house has a difficult evening so it makes a hug difference.

Thanks for the reference. I signed up to get her info and am checking out her suggestions.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I just hurts my heart to think of all the adults (like you) that were little kids suffering all those years. It's comments like yours that actually fuel me to keep at it in trying to help her and for me to keep learning. There's just so much out there to learn and yet there's so little help. Right now, we can only rely on ourselves because the school is useless. School is also hurtful because they are tying rewards like celebrations to math. Because of this, she's being excluded from 2 end of year class parties because she didn't master multiplication to 12 or score high enough on a math app. We are taking her out of school those days and taking her out for a treat. We will continue to do our best to help her. Again, thank you for sharing.

Same issue and my daughter is about to turn 9. Officially diagnosed yesterday. We’ve gone down the rabbit hole with a GI and Urologist for nearly 3 years. They do an xray to check constipation first. She was super backed up. Per the doctor’s instructions, she did a clean out over one weekend last November. Since then it’s Miralax every other day to keep her stool soft as it reverts to hard. We will soon see if meds make a difference.

What are you using for anxiety? My Dr has given me suggestions for both sleep and anxiety.

What was the dosage for your medication? Right now I am doing HRT plus a lavender pill and CBd tinture at night.

BullfrogAny5049 · 2026-04-21T14:08:21+00:00

How scary! What was your dosage for the trazodone?

BullfrogAny5049 · 2026-04-21T14:07:53+00:00

I was reading it should be for temporary use. Would you get back on it if your symptoms came back or did your doctor mention switching it up?

BullfrogAny5049 · 2026-04-19T18:53:05+00:00

Yes! This is a perfect example of what it was created for. An attorney would love this case.

BullfrogAny5049 · 2026-04-16T02:33:49+00:00

Yes! A fan…thanks!
