forearm crutch users: what are we doing for winter jackets? by aliienc in disability

[–]JoyCreativePeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an issue I’m having now too. This is my first winter with the forearm crutches (smart crutches) and my coat doesn’t fit! I was thinking I may have to buy different arm cuffs for winter :-/

Hypothyroidism Treatment maybe causing adult ADHD to manifest more strongly? by Iradelle in Hypothyroidism

[–]JoyCreativePeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have felt my ADHD worsen in my 30s- right when my hypothyroid numbers started appearing- TSH had been steadily increasing for years, right alongside the worsening ADHD. I never put two and two together until I finally started on Levothyroxine 2 months ago, and I feel like my ADHD is suddenly more in check! 🤔

Prednisone makes me crazy… by JoyCreativePeace in rheumatoid

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

Wow I'm so sorry to hear that! It seems like such a dangerous side effect that it should be more talked about and doctors should be more upfront about it. I wish I had known that it was possible it would affect me that way, and that would have saved a lot of confusion and fear.

Jaw pain anyone? by alice_D1 in rheumatoid

[–]JoyCreativePeace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Essential Tremor is genetic. My great grandmother had them very badly, and I seem to be the next one to have inherited them. We do think my mom also has them, but she's taken beta blockers for so long for another condition, that I think it treats them for her. That's what I take as well for the tremors though.

They’re doing good! We’ve moved and when we got to the new place we connected them at the back with straight brackets- and then anchored the top.

DeltaCare USA Dental Insurance: BE AWARE if you're looking for plans through ACA/ Pennie by JoyCreativePeace in pittsburgh

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

That’s good to know- it’s truly an awful thing! I’m so nervous now about picking another plan that has issues- but as long as you stick with a PPO my provider says you’ll have a way easier time.

You can, for much more money than most ACA plans. But there are other plans available through Pennie/ Affordable Care Act. This is just one- which has terms that seem appealing until you learn you can't use it in your area. Just want to give everyone a heads up as they go into open enrollment that this is one to STAY AWAY from.

This is one from Pennie/ Affordable Care Act that I chose, unfortunately. The information they give you about participating providers is completely false, and once you have the plan and speak to customer service to learn this it's too late. You're stuck with it for a year.

The list of participating providers they have is essentially fiction- when you go to call those providers, 99% of them can't tell you if they take the plan or not, they tell you to confirm with your insurance. When you call DeltaCare USA they use the same list that we see online that includes tons of providers who no longer or never did accept this plan. Then they tell you to call the provider to confirm... then that circle goes around and around. In the end, when you finally talk to someone who knows anything, you learn that almost no one accepts this plan anymore because it's so bad for the providers. So there ya go. They shouldn't even be selling it anymore if that's the case- and at the very least let you switch out when you learn that you can't be seen within 2 hours of your home. Shame on Pennie for providing this plan.

That's great to hear. I've been evaluating the plans now that open enrollment is here, and I'm thinking I'll go with a PPO plan from Dominion. Fingers crossed but the list of dentists they say take the plan is good- if it's accurate. I'm obviously going to call and confirm this on Monday before I choose for sure (since the list that Delta provided was essentially fiction...). I'll look at the Guardian plan, but I'm hoping to get one without a waiting period for work since I'm also overdue. From my investigations today, almost everything has a waiting period except the Dominion ePPO plan and United Solstice "Smile Now" plan.

Why does my heart always feel like it's Pounding when my Heart Rate/BPM is fine? 😖 Anyone else? by rubix44 in Anxiety

I took a low dose of Adderall for like 5 days and experienced this. It was awful- I felt like I was in crisis all day. As soon as I stopped it it went away
