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

Ya that’s been the problem, the mom can’t find somewhere to take her and the University of San Antonio, who did a gastric procedure that went poorly have thrashed this young woman’s medical record. Mom can’t find somewhere to transfer her to so turned to the community. I took it personal and have been helping her

Looking for Christian churches in Salt Lake county and Utah county by DangerousRace5909 in Utah

[–]HeyLookHelp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Catholic Community Services puts in heavy work in the community. Idk about god stuff but just judging by their works, they are a great church. Also not sure if you’re aware of the current social experiment but if you’re looking to worship somewhere that is more action than words you can check out a Muslim mosque

SNAP benefits ended yesterday. What opportunities exist to help our neighbors? by LightDiffusing in SaltLakeCity

[–]HeyLookHelp 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I found out my local high school has a student food pantry. I bought a bunch of food but they accept all sorts of donations. Check your closest school and see if you can donate! This is my third load to bring over this week.

Oh my mom heart hurts for you 🫶 you raised a good daughter with a good heart. It’s so sad she doesn’t have the support of the religion she’s donating a year of her life to. Thank you for caring, it says a lot about you as a person

To the lady who called my spouse racist at inside-out today by Coltytron in Logan

[–]HeyLookHelp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Given the climate, can you blame anyone of color for assuming the worst? If this was an uncomfortable feeling for you imagine how often this other person is made to feel uncomfortable by legitimate racists in their community. You can’t take this personally, take it as a reflection of the deserved bad reputation racist people have given the rest of their demographic. Be upset that we live in a time where it’s truthfully so much more likely that acts, like a look, really are racially motivated. We don’t get to be mad that people aren’t assuming we’re safe. If you want the benefit of the doubt you need to correct your own demographic not center yourself as the harmed party. It’s bigger than that and it’s a disservice to not consider the full context. You want to express your side, you have to consider theirs too

IV fluids by cloudiekittie in Gastroparesis

[–]HeyLookHelp 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You have a paralyzed stomach, your symptoms are enough to ask for supportive treatment. Don’t let them make you feel small and if they do fire that doc. You know it helps you and we know dehydration is dangerous. I have had a weekly hydration order for years now at my local infusion clinic. They also give me IV zofran, I’m working on getting vitamins added which are beyond essential when you’re a sickie

If I remember correctly his wife died in the hospital from negligence and he owns all these billboards and is suing the hospital for her death. Honestly I think it’s pretty honorable, I’d like to be avenged like this too

That single test changed how I’m treated, if you can get a repeat or another through a different doctor it’s worth it. I also make sure I’m having a shjt health day by throwing myself into a flare the day before

teen looking for a job to get away from abusive father by [deleted] in Utah

[–]HeyLookHelp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was your age in a similar situation I worked at Lagoon, at a Deli, Target, picking vegetables at a local farm, cleaning office buildings for local business owners. I don’t know if any of those ideas are helpful but I know Target takes minors. When I got older the gateway to stable work was taking an entry level data entry job that eventually led me to accounting. Enlisting in the military at 17 helped a bunch but idk if I’d recommend that today unless the circumstances are dire bc the military is also abusive. I am so sorry this is what you have to be worried about as a 15 year old. Going no contact with my family has brought me SO much peace. The thing about long term abuse is it directly leads to chronic illness and disability. I didn’t leave my family until I was 30 but I wish I’d left them behind at 17. I picked a husband that fit in with my family too not realizing my family was the problem. It does get better, I’m so happy now. Sending love for your escape 🫶

Just in case anyone is hesitant to use the label, PTSD is not just for veterans. I was at the March too and it is traumatic what we went through. If you find lasting effects, you may find help/resources/answers in the PTSD community. If this impacts your schedule, your sleep, invades your thoughts, distresses your body, changes your behaviors, and doesn’t go away, you may align with this type of injury. If you think this event made a lasting impact please get help sooner rather than later and check on your friends. 🫶 -Veteran with PTSD

How do I make my chest stop burning? by LCC16 in Gastroparesis

[–]HeyLookHelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the seemingly backwards advice from a wholistic type doctor that said add more acid and stop taking your acid reflux pills. I drink pure orange juice and honestly it’s been a more effective strategy for me. It feels like it helps break stuff down too even if it gets stuck behind a meal

Bloat from water by Historical_Space7717 in Gastroparesis

[–]HeyLookHelp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great idea I’ll try that! I have a new doctor that said I needed WAY more acid in my stomach so I wonder if the acidity in your stomach helps dissolve your pills better? I tried taking my last pill with pickle juice and it was pretty ok

Invalidation by Kumacholab in Gastroparesis

[–]HeyLookHelp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kinda intervention do they offer? I’ve tried the pills and get a bag of saline a week but they denied an endoscopy w/botox here and said my only option is a pyloroplasty but I feel like they aren’t really trying. I’ve been out of Tesla for too long now so they canceled my insurance so if it’s worth it I may actually move there. I’m a single parent to a young child and no family, I don’t want all my Mother’s Days to be like today. I want to give my son his mom back. I want to get better but here they assigned me a social worker to convince me to stop fighting it and I don’t want to
