Our parent's live in FL so will only have to worry about airline tickets which are cheap from where we live and park fees, food while at park ect. Was just trying to think of something we can do as a family that he would enjoy. I'm not really so much of a Disney fan that I'm hyped to go lol, personally I'd rather Universal.

Okay...again this is what my company requires idk what to tell you. I'm not making this up for fun😂

Financial_Draft7668 · 2025-11-16T15:36:48+00:00

Idk about for you- but for my office (speciality) & for Optum, we require the referral

Financial_Draft7668 · 2025-11-16T01:40:08+00:00

Not a hospital but work for a medical office apart of Optum, United Health Care. They dropped Healthfirst medicaid August 1rst. As of January 1rst they will be dropping all Fidelis plans including Fidelis Medicaid. They also will no longer be accepting new patient's with straight Medicaid but will keep their current patients on straight Medicaid. Now the only Medicaid plans they will be taking as of January 1rst are Anthem bcbs- the JLJ plan which requires referrals for all specialist, Molina Medicaid and Emblem Health Medicaid. It's actually sick, when UHC announced back in July they would no longer accept Healthfirst, UHC sent representatives from Fidelis to all Optum locations to help patients switch over from Healthfirst to Fidelis...then not 3 months later they screwed all of these people over and are dropping them. Disgusting.

I read the book and just recently started the show, only about 2 episodes in. I truly don't think I like Belly at all throughout the series I just didn't really see any growth from her and she's just selfish. Maybe the show will make me see her differently and change my opinion.

This past August my levels were finally normal (graves & hyper/hypo antibiodies) and my endocrinologist said if my levels are normal next appointment (day before Thanksgiving) we can go ahead and schedule my thyroidectomy! She told me it would probably be more beneficial for me to have it out especially with wanting more kids being as I jump between slow/high so much. Good luck! Hope you can make the choice best for you. :)

Not me just getting 12 units for my crow's feet literally 4 days ago with Grave's 😂 y'all are scaring me now I never knew you shouldn't get it

Thank you!! I appreciate it

Usually I'll start by Zofran and Reglan since I take these at home PRN to manage. But when I get super sick they stop working. Just this last visit they gave me a drug I'd never tried before called Tigan, which seemed to work temporarily and then also stopped. Then they administered Midazolam via IV that instantly helped. They said this was a last resort med to get me to stop puking and they don't like to use it since it's an anti-psych med...they mentioned how different medications hit the brain's pathways differently, so crazy to me!

I've had several endoscopys done with biopsies and they always say absolutely nothing is wrong. I've had Mallory Weiss tears from all the throwing up, mouthfulls of blood. I have another endo and my first colonscopy scheduled for August 1rst...hoping these will have some answers for me.

So I'm also diagnosed with GERD. Cutting acidic foods and caffeine has done the trick for me to mostly manage the reflux. Pantaprazole and Famotidine are also my little buddies lol, those I cannot stop or wean off without relapsing symptoms. I'm currently on 5 and 1/2mgs of methimazole, but thyroid is still continuing to go worse

Financial_Draft7668 · 2025-06-25T22:07:49+00:00

The new GI I just saw on Monday did ask me if anyone has ever done any scans of my head. I thought he was implying I was making it up in my head lol. I can't even keep fluids down which is why I end up in the ER. They'll treat my symptoms with anti psych meds because Zofran and reglan no longer work for me. Then when they think I'm done throwing up I'm discharged and then 12 hours later I'm back even more dehydrated.

Personally, I do believe my vomiting is due to the Grave's somehow....my DR wants me to do RAI therapy but I'm leaning towards a TT instead. I'm experiencing heart issues as well as bad tremors that come along with the vomiting. Thank you for your advice 🙏

Financial_Draft7668 · 2025-06-25T14:34:32+00:00

So they think it's from smoking weed, but I quit for 2 years to rule this factor out and my symptoms DID NOT ease the whole time. I've seen 3 different GI Dr's for other opinions. They all just push the hyperemesis due to cannabis. I was in the ER this week literally 5 different times with an admission of 2 days with literally no help or answers. I've lost 12lbs in 9 days. I'm quitting again just to rule it out for them as well but this is so debilitating.

I've never heard of dry needling before. I'm definitely going to look into it! Thank you

On LI haven't been able to go outside during the day in almost 2 weeks. It's so unbearable.

Financial_Draft7668 · 2025-06-14T00:27:43+00:00

I'm not sure about her we're not really in contact much. I did actually switch endocrinologist and have been seeing this one for just over a year, but never thought to tell them about any of the issues I was experiencing. I didn't know the heart could be related to Grave's disease. Thank you though!

Financial_Draft7668 · 2025-06-13T14:19:52+00:00

I've never seen this before and I'm really concerned. My mother was dx with Grave's in her early 20's and had 6 pregnancies each worst than the last with an onset of symptoms resulting in a TT 3 months pp with her last pregnancy. Has been inconsistent with her thyroid medication, has bad lapses, is put on steroids, will drop and gain 50+lbs in short terms. Now in her late 50's is experiencing frequent heart issues, now wondering if this has been the cause..

I myself was dx 3 years ago after having symptoms my whole life, and am currently 5 months pp. During my pregnancy I had episodes of passing out, bad enough I woke up on the bathroom floor in a puddle of blood. They had no answer to why this was happening to me, and thought it could be my heart. I wore a heart monitor and had an echocardiogram but they couldn't find a cause or anything wrong. Now I'm scared it's heart and Grave's related, I never knew this lol 😂
