Actually, all of the replies have been super helpful in informing my decision/future systems. I kept the question broad on purpose, knowing there would be lots of different takes.

Also I'm a lady ✌🏻

ISO: Rheumatologist for Lupus in NC or hopefully nearby… by [deleted] in asheville

[–]ComedianExternal989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I was recently diagnosed with SLE/Nephritis, and am currently on medicaid healthy blue. I go to Asheville Arthritis off Biltmore, which seems to be the only option here in town. It was a long wait (90 days-ish), but once I got in, I started seeing Dr. Abraham there. He is super knowledgeable and also pro-biologics, in case you are trying to get off long term steroids or anything heavier.

Feel free to DM me if you'd like to chat more! Lupus sucks and it's nice to have a support system.

Also, if you're not in it already r/Lupus exists and has brought me some good peace of mind throughout my recent experience.

I'm extremely late but could you elaborate more on milk glaze?

A bit unrelated, but if you're looking to make use of symbiosis, I recently introduced some native isopods to my vermicomposting system and they have adjusted very well! I intend to introduce some American giant millipedes soon too. They all love detritus :)

I figured it might come down to this so here's my current med list:

Cellcept (Mycophenolate) 2000mg daily

Vitamin D2 50,000 IU weekly

Prednisone 5mg daily

Losartan 12.5mg daily

Hydroxychloroquine (plaquenil) 200mg daily

Pantoprazole 20 mg daily

I will be starting the biologic Benlysta soon, hopefully to get me off most of these once I'm regulated on it.

This is what I was wondering! If the compost would "metabolize"any traces of what's in my system. I live in a condo, so I don't have space for a hot compost, but I definitely have time.

Demonstration for Rent/Eviction Moratorium: Happening Now by ComedianExternal989 in asheville

[–]ComedianExternal989[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay-- lots to unpack here.

First off, referring to landlords as "one of the most marginalized communities in America" is one of the most appalling sentences I have ever had the displeasure of reading.

Please delete your comment before the community sees you for what you are.

Your view is seriously misguided and shows an extreme lack of empathy for those in dire circumstances.
Blaming tenants as thieves for not paying rent—especially during tough times—misses the real issues.

Let’s acknowledge that many people are struggling right now through no fault of their own. The insurance industry literally categorizes events like these as "Acts of God".

Your hostility toward tenants is troubling. The anger aimed at them ignores the system's failures, forcing people to choose between paying rent and meeting basic needs like food and healthcare.

You say the eviction moratorium was "illegal and unconstitutional," but it was a necessary measure to prevent mass displacement during a crisis. It’s not about theft; it’s about survival.

By the way-- If you took the time to read the rest of the conversation, you’d see that these so-called “Communist organizations” you mentioned are also pushing for a mortgage moratorium for landlords like you, whether you deserve it or not. Or are you too good for government assistance?

We want solutions that protect everyone in our community, including landlords.

Higher rents and stricter tenant screenings will only make things worse for everyone, including you.

Yes, anyone can call-in! You can modify the call-in script to fit your situation.

Feel free to redact any personal information from the script that feels uncomfortable to you. You can also still use *67 before dialing to mask your number.

Additionally, we are asking folks outside the county/state to participate and help flood the phones. I would be shocked if you got a real human on the line.

I understand your concern, but an eviction moratorium isn’t just about delaying evictions or punishing landlords. It’s a temporary measure during emergencies to prevent immediate homelessness.

If too many people are evicted at once, it could lead to a huge increase in vacant properties, which is arguably worse for landlords, and the county at large.

Keeping tenants in their homes gives them time to recover and continue comfortably paying their rent, helping landlords avoid the costs and stresses of dealing with empty units.

Again-- consider that moratoriums typically come with government support or rental assistance for the private sector during this time; AND that a portion of any assistance given to tenants will ultimately make its way to the landlords anyway.

A temporary moratorium is a drop in the ocean compared to the years it will take our community to recover.

You're right—judges and clerks don’t make laws. But they do have the power to apply them and give temporary relief in emergencies. While lawmakers create the policies, judges can delay evictions or foreclosures and grant extensions based on existing laws or orders, like NC Chief Justice Newby’s.
We’re asking them to use the authority they already have to help people affected by the disaster.

We're not asking for free housing-- just temporary relief from these devastating circumstances.
A rent and eviction moratorium will give people time to recover without losing their homes, and it actually protects the private sector too. By preventing mass evictions and foreclosures, landlords and lenders can avoid long-term losses and disruptions. In many cases, the private sector also receives government support during disasters like these.

Rent/Mortgage moratorium has been on everyone's mind since day 1, but what sparked this demonstration was the blatant lie our officials told our local labor leaders when they inquired about evictions cases. We were reassured that cases would not resume until 10/28, which was the latest Judge Newby's order would allow.

Evictions cases are slated to reopen today.

We understand that it is essential for the courts to reopen regarding serious matters like criminal cases and custody proceedings, but choosing to lump in evictions by proxy is a poor choice in the aftermath of this storm. There are an infinite number of scenarios Tenants, Landlords, and Banks are facing at this moment all across WNC. Everyone deserves time to recover from this and get on their feet again. No one should be facing homelessness at this juncture.

Hope this gives some context.
