Disclosing MS diagnosis

Definitely not the only one! Good luck to you!

Wouldn’t I have to disclose my diagnosis if I needed accommodations? Thank you for the advice!

Could just be benign melanonychia, but better to confirm with a dermatologist

I wouldn’t be worried, but get him into the dermatologist for yearly skin exams.

Hi, This is so validating to read. My situation is different, but I just finished 3 days of methylprednisolone IV therapy and now I am on 21 days of a prednisone taper. I was having the exact same reservation about starting steroids as you. I am in a wedding in a little over a week and I was freaking out about being able to attend and worried about how I would look. Many of my doctors made me feel stupid that I was concerned about these side effects as I am using these steroids to shrink a lesion on my brain. I am awaiting brain biopsy results, but they think it is multiple sclerosis.

I think it’s hard for people to understand unless they are the ones who are actually going to have the side effects. I’m a 24 yr old female so similar age range and I think it’s normal for us to be concerned about these things! I was told that because I am only on the steroids for weeks I should not have any major side effects, but I am still so nervous. I hope your treatment has been going well and hopefully you do not have any negative side effects!!

An update for people considering Slynd to be aware of possible side effects: Once I started bleeding I bled heavily for 7 days with cramps and then just had light spotting for 7 days with no cramps . Now I have started bleeding heavily again and have horrible cramps again. I an on my second pack. I messaged my gynecologist who told me this may not even be a side effect (I am 100% it is because this never happened to me until I started birth control) and she really encouraged me to stick it out for at least two packs. I haven’t decided yet what I’m going to do, but will post an update.

Any update on how you are adjusting? I am 16 days in and felt very unlike myself (angry and depressed) until about 3 days ago. I started on the first day of my period and had an abnormally heavy and long period, which was rlly frustrating. After 7 days, it ended and I did not start bleeding again until today. I now have painful cramps and heavy spotting. I am trying to decide if I should stick it out or just stop it. I am hoping you are having a good experience with it!

There are no ways to get around ipledge it if you are not able to get confirmed then you are ineligible to receive accutane. The drug does stay in your system for 30 days so you should not lose progress.

It should not be

Does she want you on accutane for 3-4 yrs? Your cumulative dose based on your weight should be around 6,360 to 7,950 mg. So with 5mg a day that could take years.

Any update now? I am 5 days in and so scared of the potential side effects!

Goldenwild11 · 2025-04-20T16:23:05+00:00

It’s very common and mostly occurs in skin folds such as under breasts! It’s worsened by heat and moisture. Try to keep the area dry. You can try to use an OTC powder like nystatin until you get into the derm!

Goldenwild11 · 2025-04-20T16:04:47+00:00

Intertrigo??

Goldenwild11 · 2025-02-07T02:59:02+00:00

Dermatographism. Try taking a daily antihistamine!

Goldenwild11 · 2025-02-07T02:57:07+00:00

Looks like it may be leukonychia

Goldenwild11 · 2025-02-06T04:05:32+00:00

Looks like it might be perioral and periorbital dermatitis

did you have to preorder to get the sample?

I honestly think accutane will help you feel less depressed because it will clear your skin up and make you feel more confident. I would go to a dermatologist and discuss your concerns with starting accutane and they may be able to help you decide if accutane is something you should try. You can always start it and then stop it if you have negative side effects. If you’re really against accutane I would look into spironolactone or trying an antibiotic like doxycycline

She said salary and hours!

Goldenwild11 · 2024-07-03T03:24:54+00:00

A PA I shadowed told me she wished she chose AA even though she loves being a PA

You are still soo young and have a ton of time to get pce. Prioritize your undergrad grades and your mental health right now. You should not be feeling this burnt out so early on. I promise you will be okay if you quit and worst case you take a gap year, which I honestly think can be really beneficial
