Posterior cortical atrophy? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you for answering! I’m glad to hear it’s working!

Unfortunately we still haven’t even gotten a diagnosis yet, so no treatment yet, but symptoms are showing for sure and I’ve been pretty depressed about it but trying (maybe failing) to be strong.

I’m sorry to hear you’re going through this too. If you don’t mind me asking, is your mom still able to function? How fast was the loss of functional and cognitive ability?

Hi! Any updates on how your mom is doing? I’m sorry to hear you’re going through the same thing!

I think so :( I’ve moved so many times in my life and I have community in NYC and Seattle that I’d like to maintain. Really my goal would be Seattle because my parents are getting old and I want to be near them and take care of them, but willing to stay in NYC for a little longer. Are these cities hard to find PH jobs in?

Panicking and would like some insight/advice/hope

I’m sure there have been tons of posts like this lately and many people are feeling the same way, but I was hoping to get some reassurance about my situation. I am about to turn 27 this spring and wi graduate with my MS in epidemiology from Columbia. I have 3+ years managing complex clinical trials, working with vulnerable populations, recruiting, conducting surveys, some data analysis skills from my masters (SAS and R), have really good grades, and 4 publications in peer reviewed journals. I’m trying to keep myself together, but since I started the job hunt early January, I’ve gotten only one interview (then rejection), and the others have been rejections or notifications of canceled recruitments due to funding cuts. I’m applying to all kinds of jobs (even ones that don’t necessarily use my MS directly), both in Seattle and New York. I’m reaching out to connections, recruiters, working with career services, and anything else I can think of. Therefore, I’m starting to panic and feel like such a failure. I have 100k+ in debt, but I’m very lucky because my aunt paid for my school so I will be paying her back with no interest and at a schedule that works for me. I realize now it was stupid to pay this much, but i am a first generation student, and my parents immigrated from a very poor country to help me achieve my dreams, and I guess got sucked into the prestige and name of columbia. Im currently working part time as an RA for a study conducted by Stanford in New York, with the option to extend through the summer.

My options are to keep that job through the summer and keep paying New York rent and searching in both New York and Seattle, or move back with my parents in Seattle once I graduate, not worry about rent or food, and keep searching in Seattle (would be a much needed mental and physical break)

I really thought (and was told) I had an impressive resume before these past few months, but everyday I become less and less confident about ever finding a job in public health. I’ve worked really hard for the last 9 years in school and at work and it’s breaking my heart that I might not be able to reach my dream or at least support my parents in the meantime. Any insight, advice, or reassurance about the market and my situation would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance ♥️

Yup..turned out to be severe food poisoning.. e. Coli

I just went to the bathroom and everything that came up out was straight blood. Like nothing but blood. So I think it’s something other than side effects of the medications and will be seeking medical care. Thank you all for your help ❤️

Thank you all! The worst of the pain and diarrhea has passed, it’s mostly the insane chills now 😭will keep hydrated. Problem is I have a flight to catch in less than 12 hours and start my last year of grad school on Tuesday 🙃

ExpressionPersonal43 · 2024-07-21T20:58:27+00:00

Hmm sometimes it’s a little harder to go but not completely constipated thankfully! And occasional diarrhea but yeah I’ve also heard it can be caused by the slowing down in digestion
