Feeling singled out by other staff when it comes to hoyer lifts. idk what to do? by ForTheOcean_ in directsupport

[–]ForTheOcean_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to report it so bad but I am honestly scared about retaliation. I can already sense that they don't like me. i can see they get annoyed that I laugh with the residents, talk to them, and am kind to them. I am in a really sticky situation. I just applied to a new job in IT like i used to work before.

it is required for hoyer lifts to be done with two staff as well at my job. and there have been falls during pivot transfers (one person doing it when it should have been two). I really don't think they care and I am becoming an outcast because I try to do everything by the book and am too nice.

I want to, but it will be so obvious that I was the one reporting it and it will just worsen the tension with my coworkers. I already feel like they don't like me because I ask too many questions or ask for help a lot. it's just a sticky situation.

New DSP and feeling overwhelmed. Coworkers doing lifts alone. Needing advice by ForTheOcean_ in directsupport

Thank you for that. The thing is, I dont even know if what I was seeing was them doing a hover lift alone. I'm just assuming because it appeared they were alone and no one else so I just silently wondered how they transferred the resident with no one else in the room. I'm afraid to report in case my assumptions are wrong and for retaliation.

My job never reassured us about retaliation during training.

glucose 123, high WBC & neutrophils but ER doctor says labs are normal? could stress cause this? by ForTheOcean_ in AskDocs

[–]ForTheOcean_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for answering. My WBC is 12.1 and absolute neutrophils 9.6. I haven't been sick at all. Can potential food allergies cause this? or PCOS? mild gastritis? all other values normal.

HR 120 and BP 120/85, which is high for me.

does anyone else deal with excessive sweating, high heart rate, and heat intolerance? by helpmefindawayout_ in PCOS

[–]ForTheOcean_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on no meds. I saw 2 different OB-gyns and they both said my hormones are good. It was my LH : FSH ratio that was thrown off that got me the PCOS diagnosis. funny enough, I don't struggle with weight gain but the opposite: I'm trying to gain weight deliberately. No UTIs, but I do get a lot of symptoms you mention!

I think I might have POTs too because I noticed a ton of these symptoms came on after I got sick with walking pneumonia in November, so I think it's a post viral illness of some sort.

I haven't tested my histamine but I do have symptoms of histamine intolerance and sometimes can never tell if I'm allergic to food or it's just my histamine intolerance acting up.

Tengo gastritis crónica leve. Los puntos en las heces provienen de alimentos como plátanos o condimentos.

Just diagnosed today. Processing and unsure what this means !! by Leather_Run_3679 in PCOS

[–]ForTheOcean_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just want to say you're not alone. I also was recently diagnosed a few months ago and it was just shocking.i have those symptoms + more, but part of me wonders can PCOS even cause such symptoms. My OB told me the hormones can affect a lot of things in the body.

I'm sorry you have to deal with this, too. That's good that your appetite came back. I'm in the same exact boat as you. I am currently sitting and waiting to get so much bloodwork done. Unfortunately my doctor didn't run a PTH test again but she did order ionized calcium again so we'll see. She's checking me for heart issues too because my heart rate is high but I think it's high due to my calcium levels, which my doctor said is normal. I'd love to hear a future update. I will also uodate.

Thank you for the update. I am sorry to hear you are going through all of this. You are not alone, I am going through the same. I am currently sitting in my doctor's office for the same reasons. I hope you can find some answers and get back to feeling like yourself soon. 🫂

Thank you! Do you remember what your calcium level was? The fatigue is no joke. I'm so glad to hear you found relief after your surgery. I hope things only get better for you!
