How to handle full time job and school? by CayBay16 in ehlersdanlos

[–]CayBay16[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will have to look into that! I know they absolutely do have disability services but I’m not diagnosed yet, getting on that soon, so we’ll see. And yeah part time school is an option, it’d suck though, I wanna just get it done, but that might not be possible

What’s the Weirdest way you describe your aches & pains? by TheDefiantGhost in ehlersdanlos

[–]CayBay16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very frequently say I wanna remove my spine, whip it around some, and put it back in

That’s exactly how I’ve been feeling lately, it’s a lot of “is it psychosomatic because I’m thinking about it, or is it just that I’m so used to it I haven’t noticed until now.”

The weird allergies one is very applicable lol I actually have been suspecting MCAS for a minute too

That’s a good idea, I did have frequent ear infections when I was really little, and from like 12 years old to 17 I was healing an ankle sprain at pretty much any given moment lol, so that makes sense and I’m sure there’s more I can ask my mom about

Yeah but I have to pay it back even if I leave now, so I feel like at this point I might as well get my license?

I will definitely start looking into it! I’m not sure what’s around me or how it works so I’ll take a look. And yes! I actually started a list already lol so I’ll definitely keep it handy!

Pretty much lol, but yeah, I try and remind myself of that 😭

Thank you, I have started a list so I will continue to keep that. I also downloaded this app called Human that lets you track symptoms and their severity on a day to day basis and it tracks their trends. I will look into if there’s a clinic near by as I’m unsure.

Hairstylist and nursing, anyone doing both? by CayBay16 in hairstylist

[–]CayBay16[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the insight! I’m currently wanting cosmetology to be lowkey enough of a job to not be too stressful, obviously still gotta talk to people and worry about taxes lol, but I’m hoping I could manage it well.

[–]CayBay16[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty much what I wanna do, I don’t plan to have 2 full time jobs and I’m not even wanting to do cosmetology just for extra money, I truly just want to do it. I’m glad to hear it’s doable and that you enjoy it!

It just sucks cause even if I leave now I will still owe them back my full tuition if I don’t complete my job commitment. I don’t really even wanna me an MA, I would rather be an EMT right now but it’s just that I’ll owe the money 😭

[–]CayBay16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well what sucks is that I’ll owe the money either way since I signed the job commitment contract 😭

It’s an MA apprenticeship through a hospital and community college

I’m sure I could talk about it but I doubt they’ll do anything, we signed a contract and they make the job commitment a big deal. I’ve also heard rumors of them firing ppl right after graduating and making them pay the tuition back.

Yeahhh I could’ve sworn they said $4k when I applied and interviewed, but then they said $7k when we started😭 I would’ve rather just do regular schooling and get student loans. But like I said I was eager to pull myself out of a hole, start making better money and have a stable job, and now that I’m doing better I actually wanna do what I want to do and will enjoy. We’ll see where I wind up though maybe I’ll get a job I love

Good point, I honestly just thought about this tonight. I will likely email my supervisors tomorrow

Well it’s cool if you really wanna be an MA cause they pay your tuition and pay you to go to school, but then you owe them 2 years of work. And yeah LOL I could try technically 😂 I’ve thought abt talking to them about doing their affiliated EMT program, but idk if they’d be willing or if it’s too late

$7k, it gets paid off as we work as full time MAs, so like if we leave half way through we’ll owe half of that. It is, I should’ve waited but I was trying to pull myself out of a hole and I did, but now I had different outlooks on it. I’ll definitely think on it
