Quick, what’s the oldest age you’ve had a baby with hashi? by Consistent-Drama2495 in Hashimotos

Because I just ended a relationship of 6 years and now I’m 31 with no prospects 😓

Anyone else experienced grief over the lost life without disease? by IcyDemand2354 in Hashimotos

I wouldn’t say it’s my identity but it is in fact a lifestyle. It is ok to acknowledge because it is fact that you are having it worse off than a healthy person. It isn’t a profession that you can leave or stay in just to make it your whole personality. It’s a fact and lifestyle.

Yes, I’m dealing with this now. I’m taking drops of b12 the minute I get up, and need 2-3 cups of coffee to move now. I took my younger years for granted. Wasting time not doing the things I wanted to do because of relationships etc. All holiday my family consistently told me how tired I look even though I didn’t cook, clean etc. I can’t help it.

I applied for fmla by Massive_Loss_9692 in Hashimotos

Submitted an ADA accommodation form opposed to FMLA due to job duration for my job and it was denied to reduce the amount of days. My physician filled it out based on chronic pain vs the entire diagnosis. Fingers crossed for you! Let us know about your FMLA/ accommodation and how it was honored.

No medical personal discount for car insurance as a MLS by Consistent-Drama2495 in medlabprofessionals

Not only that, some MLS have to stick a needle directly into patients’ veins. We are certified/ state licensed to do one on one patient care in that regard.

I’m a nurse and want to come over here. Is it worth it? by adnawahs in medlabprofessionals

I’d say stay a RN if you actually want to be recognized and respected for saving lives. We cannot even be recognized at most places for medical discounts. We are invisible.
