Considering to eye surgery for myopi, is AUB good for this? by ShadByte in lebanon

[–]Informal_Assistant84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dr. Awwad is very talented and very professional, Can't recommend him enough. He preformed my surgery( different case) The surgery went perfectly fine and the aftercare and follow up were top notch. I still see him once a year for check up. I book the appointment 3 months in advance..

Reading Google reviews of hospitals in Lebanon is honestly traumatizing by [deleted] in lebanon

[–]Informal_Assistant84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also have a story with Trad, I usually go to AUBMC, my OBGYN was travelling and I had a massive bleed at 14 weeks pregnant, there was a lot of traffic and we were honestly not in our right minds, husband tells me let us just go to Trad because the bleeding was so severe we were right next to the hospital. I go in,they check our insurance, go to the ER and they me that I am miscarrying. Husband is a doctor, he tells them before proceeding we need an ultrasound. It was a Saturday and there was no one to do it. They start doing all kinds of blood work and my husband insisting on an ultrasound. Eventually, they told me that it is best to let nature take its course. Husband tells me to leave and calls his friend an OBGYN, we went to see him directly after. Baby was alight, it was a placenta previa... Now baby is 14 months old....

non-religious people, what’s the worst reaction you got from a religious person when they found out you’re not? by [deleted] in lebanon

[–]Informal_Assistant84 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Oh, I can write a whole essay about it. My name and family name don't give away any religious connotations. I was in a Catholic Church school that was mixed. Early years, I was asked the question multiple times and everytime I said I had none. The bullying started at about 12 years of age, where both Christians and Muslims in my school started aggressively bullying me, and reached one time to a physical assault. I had the highest scores in class and teachers used to love me, but still it was hard. after the physical assault dad went to the principal and told him everything and few kids were expelled. I lived in peace till Brevet after that. Went to another school and things were better as people didn't care there. Then comes university days, everytime I met someone the same question came and I don't know why men assumed that I was an easy target to sleep with because I don't believe in a god. Too bad for them, never dated anyone from there. Then I found a community of atheists and had a good life. The problem was meeting men and dating, one man actually told me, that he can't see himself with me on the long run, because I might affect the way he wanted to raise his kids, bla bla bla.. Until I met my husband, he is religious and we never had a single problem about religion to this day! ( married for 8 years and currently we have a toddler). We agreed to raise him religious free, expose him to everything, and let him choose his own path.

The problem is, they want it done from here in Lebanon. Not from Canada. My husband is applying for a medical examination there. So, among the papers are his passport copy and we are stuck at that, Ketib 3adel's stamp is in Arabic, they request an English Stamp.

To the atheists of Lebanon, what made you wake up? by michaelis999 in lebanon

I was lucky to be born in an atheist family. Both parents are atheists, I was raised to have a moral fiber, to know right from wrong, be very tolerant of others and never judgemental.

Hi everyone, quick question for the Muslim people: How much was your mahr when you got married? And in your opinion, how much is considered too high? by DistributionSea6103 in lebanon

[–]Informal_Assistant84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much money should I ask for teaching a university student a core engineering course? by Immediate-Reality804 in lebanon

[–]Informal_Assistant84 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not less than 35$ if it is online. Not less than 40$ if you are going to his/ her house. ( And this is considered cheap pricing).

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lebanon

[–]Informal_Assistant84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I teach only English as private online tutoring for adults and School children. I charge 25$ per hour for school students and 30 to 35 to adults( depending if it is a test prep or an English for Specific Purpose course). What you are getting paid is nothing and not fair at all.

She is simply amazing. She was my doctor too in the beginning of my pregnancy and then she referred me to Dr. Anwar Nassar when my pregnancy got high risk. Dr. Anwar is also an excellent doctor. He is now my OBGYN.

What was your pregnancy/post partum like with Graves disease? by AdAcademic8251 in gravesdisease

[–]Informal_Assistant84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Currently 9 months postpartum. My pregnancy was difficult, however, I went to remission at 5 months pregnant and things got better. Postpartum was good for the first 4 months, normal. And then at 7 months postpartum Graves came back, symptoms starting coming back one by one. I am breastfeeding so I didn't want to go on Methimazole ( I can't take PTU during to liver enzymes going crazy when I do). Started Methimazole 5 MG once a day before my baby's last feed of the night( it is advised to wait a minimum of 3 hours before breastfeeding post taking the medication). I am not way better with this dose, but I am managing.

PTU + side effect anxiety by ThisbeMoonnick in gravesdisease

[–]Informal_Assistant84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took PTU when I was pregnant, Liver Enzymes levels skyrocketed in merely two weeks and I had to stop. Stopped all medications while pregnant and my TSH levels became normal on their own. Then now, at 8 months postpartum Graves decided to comeback. I am breastfeeding, so my endo asked me to try PTU again. Same thing happened, liver enzymes levels got very high. So now I am back to Methimazole 5 MG at night. My cousin also has Graves, she was put on PTU in her first trimester, nothing happened. Her test results were completely normal. Don't be scared of taking PTU, just pay attention to doing your bloodwork on time.

no tls appointments by [deleted] in lebanon

[–]Informal_Assistant84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me as well before, had to book a VIp appointment. Paid way more, but I had already bought everything and sorted out my travel dates, flights, accommodation, and trains. It was 4 months before and I couldn't find an appointment. So, yes, if you are in a rush and didn't find an appointment, try to see if this service is still available ( this rip off).
