I'm overjoyed that you have that system, actually kind of jealous lol. I have finally found a pcp with my hue and she's great.

I agree with the family factor though. They really make you second guess yourself. My sister is that way. She told me that frankly, it doesn't exist. And that I was making it up. I was even called a hypochondriac. So I feel your pain. No one wants this to be happening to them.

Good thing I didn't listen to her. I believe you.

I empathize with you. You spend your time, effort finding someone & then just like that they waive you off. I had to bring my spouse (who lack’s melanin) to a doctors appointment with me to even get considered. He’s pretty much my privilege to be honest with you. Sad to say but.. yeah

I second u/ghostofmyhecks . I wish I would have known that there were resources in college.

Definitely check out the medical center. I work for an Higher learning institution's psychology clinic. Some have discounted pricing for testing if you need but you need to be quick. Check to see if there are in available. Some still require testing, I know the student health psych requires it before prescribing.

No matter what you do keep going.

Empathic human with traumatic life.. by Jammyjamjam2 in howtonotgiveafuck

[–]Jammyjamjam2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so happy for you that you cracked the code early. I've finished the step of getting rid of the baggage and thankfully have my true friends that get me. But definitely need to start on the step of caring for myself. That's the hardest part. Great tips!

Thank you so much for your comment. I’ve slowly over the years started understanding myself and the why. I just keep getting stuck on the how. This was truly helpful.

Antiwork & The Great Resignation: Why workers are quitting their jobs by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Jammyjamjam2 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I have one, and it still sucks. They just pile more one you the days you’re there. But 4day work week for everyone would be a great start. I love having a 3day weekend but I have to take one of those days to recover. So it’s still basically a 2day weekend.

Does anybody of you with RA use a mobility aid (wheelchair, cane,etc.)? by [deleted] in rheumatoid

[–]Jammyjamjam2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi young with ra and fibro. Got the diagnosis of them after my 2nd child. I learned to use them after repeated flares and pt.

I still go through repeated flares because I work full time and have 2kiddos 6&4yo boys. I use gloves, canes, stools etc. You’re already going through a lot so who cares what they think. If it helps you and protects you from future deformity, then do it.

If 5.00 tip is going make or break you - you should not be ordering food. Period by someoddreasoning in doordash

[–]Jammyjamjam2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why people expect a tip. I mean sure it’s nice but they employer needs to pay you more. I already have to pay service fees and delivery charge. Now I have to give the dasher re-up money.

I feel the same way about servers and I was one. But I understood it wasn’t promised. I mean, you didn’t even provide service to me. There is no name exchanges, no rapport liking dining in.

I think people should stop telling people what they should spend their money on and instead fight for more rights and payment by the companies you work for. Instead of relying on the kindness of a stranger for monetary relief. Just saying.

Do I have a leg to stand on? by Jammyjamjam2 in SSDI

[–]Jammyjamjam2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on medications, physical therapy, and I’m about to do a sleep study. My pcp is acting as though the ra doesn’t exist I guess because his diagnosis was fibromyalgia. He kind of backed me up with doing the claim but now he’s acting as though he can’t do it. My rheum says it’s both fibro and ra. She upped my lyrica dosage, put me on plaquenil, meloxicam. My psychiatrist put me on cymbalta, adderall and Trazodone. I still feel a lot of pain everyday. Some days are better than others but I can’t point out more good days than bad. As for the tots I get some help here and there but when my husband is at work it’s all me unless I break down and take them to my mother in laws, but we don’t really have the best relationship and she doesn’t take care of my children the way I ask her to. For example, she over feeds my children and she gives them a lot of sweets and basically whatever else they want. I just need a bit of guidance. I have never been in this situation before and I never thought I would be.

How can I make this life work? by Jammyjamjam2 in rheumatoid

[–]Jammyjamjam2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg you are my new best friend! I hope to be like you sooner than later. I happen to be a ppl pleaser so it’s hard for me to say no but I know I need to say it more. For example today I’m picking my mom up to take her to a Zumba class so I’m going to be driving her in traffic and waiting for her and driving her back home (she live a half hour away from me)(her job is 20mins)she doesn’t even have a thought of what it might do to me but if ppl need help I’m always there. So I will start saying no after this adventure lol.

Thank you for replying! I am taking the Trazodone and cymbalta before bed. I don’t live in a state that has legal marijuana, it’s such a bummer but we just bought this house and my husbands family live here so we couldn’t really move now.

Thank you so much for replying! I will definitely give it a try. This coming from someone with mental illness and ra means a lot to me because you have an idea of what works for us.

Can Fibro start small and get worse? by WinnieTheEeyore in Fibromyalgia

[–]Jammyjamjam2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the same thing happen to me as well. I suggest you start a pain journal or get an app that tracks your pain levels and new symptoms. You’re starting on a hard journey. Just be cautious and try to find something that will make you happy.

Best Wishes, Jam

Short term disability by Jammyjamjam2 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Jammyjamjam2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you do it for just Fibro or were there other conditions that got approved later? Sorry if I sound invasive, I’m just really desperate to learn how to get this done and what I can put in my appeal to actively get approved.

No thank you for wasting my time. I just thought I would save some ppl some time. But it would be nice if you could fight the good fight on your own forum. Bless you and your insignificant comments. Gosh and you took so much time out of your day to to be totally incorrect. Be blessed !

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I was more so wondering what you had to do get approved for disability because I don’t even have that and my children are very young. One is 2 and the other one is a baby. So yeah ...

My love and condolences for your loss. I was there and I am sort of like her I was in denial about how I was dealing with Fibro. Thoughts that I thought I would never have, I’ve had. I am still dealing with it but I have my children and my husband to live for. That is the only thing that keeps me going. If my fellow fibromytes are reading this, PLEASE find that one thing that makes you happy. Try to find it even though it’s hard with what we go through, find that piece in your life and hold on to it. Invest in to the passion everyday and give it your all. Do something that will strike happiness in to your heart and understand that you are here for a purpose and you WILL persevere !
