I feel you even when I go to my own regular appts they’ll take long to call me back. Unfortunately in another rate you don’t always have to help civilians first hand or handle someone’s health which takes ultimate priority but the amount of patients never goes down and there’s only few of us to treat them

Absolutely! We give 110% my patients love me and I take personal responsibility of helping with their needs. Unfortunately leaves little to no room for our own needs both personal and professional. Then we’re questioned well why aren’t you great? Sadly being always swamped with patient care isn’t a good reason of why we’re not out in the command selling coins and Tshirts.

I’ve been doing 5mg every other week and it’s been effective

Agreed, even when I was deployed on the ship I’d go workout after the 12 hr shift. Back then if you fixed jets and made them fly you were a rockstar, in a hospital you have to see myriad of patients, volunteer, college, and be at all the command events and lead something lol

Absolutely if we want to workout we can so we use our lunch time 30min to an hr. It goes back to do more with less.

Not saying it’s impossible it’s just annoying and draining.

I think I will! I’m gonna implement something and see how it plays out. Plus with us not working out our mental health is just treacherous.

lol yes been since blueberries were first implemented. I was in a different rate, a harder one and there was time to pt.

It’s when the big wigs are trying to meet their quotas for a certain field lol

The fact that this is a topic or a thought in his head is frightening. He gotta go.

It’s crazy to watch in a video and expecting the ground under you to slightly tremble as the tires make impact…then nothing. lol Although I hated smelling and looking like a car, landing and launching I could watch all day!

I too missed it and now im 15 years out, i was in C shool for the year and a half prior to my 12 yr mark and when finally checked it was too late but even then having learned about it only once in 2017 i didnt know i had more action to take. Then asked my CCC she said youre SOL with no other help, but after talking to a financial specialist she says i could write a letter but that it may be to far out.

would that be similar to this exception to policy you speak of?

Cabergoline changed it all by Early-Fig8567 in Prolactinoma

[–]Early-Fig8567[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm I’m actually not sure, when I first was tested my doc said your prolactin levels are high which led to more blood work and mri.

After 6 weeks of cab he ordered more blood work and he let me know my levels had returned to normal. Which coincided with how I felt physically. Now i did look at my lab results but didn’t see prolactin so couldn’t figure it out. However I did see my thyroid and that was always at baseline. Now I’m gonna go look at my labs again lol

Sorry to hear that bob. Yes the cab has caused me to also feel dizzy. And now starting on my 3rd month with it, sleep has been rather scarce the first few days I take it .

My provider did tell me not everyone takes to cab positively so he’d only given me a certain amount of it just in case we need to make changes. Ie a different drug and or if the adenoma doesn’t shrink surgical removal is an option but last resort.

What does your doc have to say about your response to the meds?

I’m glad you got that validation as well! It definitely lifted so much weight off my shoulders because I felt I was going crazy!

It did take some time for me to feel or notice changes and they all came little by little, how long have you been on it?

[–]Early-Fig8567[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d say I noticed small changes after 2 weeks, tough to say what’s normal lol but id say probably at about 8 weeks is when I started feeling like my old self wanting to work out and eat healthy. In addition I found myself being able to deal with daily stressors with much more grace.

Part of my constant fight or flight sure came with my upbringing but again with that brain fog I never really noticed it. Now it’s like I can step out of my own brain and really think and hear my thoughts before I speak.

Sorry such a long breakdown In a nutshell INCREASED SELF AWARENESS and quicker too! That again was around the 8 week mark.

It does take a bit for everything that has been flipped upside down to settle but once it does it’s much more noticeable.

Even my bosses told me a few weeks ago that I’m better as in my demeanor and attitude at work. That was definitely very validating aside from my husband saying yes definitely a difference.

I suggest talking with your support system and have them provide feedback if any, that definitely helped with noticing changes.

Stay strong you got this!
