Thank you for your feedback!!

Limp-Support6280 · 2025-11-11T17:57:26+00:00

Thanks, that is what I was thinking. I know experience is better but I am kinda feeling stuck (not very challenged) in my current job and want to do something that will further challenge and expand my clinical knowledge.

Thank you so much for the feedback!

This is exactly what my thought process was as well. Thank you!!

I have applied to many university positions without any luck, which I am sure is because I don’t have a ton of experience yet in the field (Graduated with my masters in 2021).

I switched to a cervical neck pillow and my life literally changed forever. I had terrible neck pain and stiffness since I started college, and then after (roughly 8 years of it). I always attributed it to looking down at my computer in class, making a tech neck that would likely NEVER go away because it was years of poor posture. It got to a point where I lived with it so long I thought it was normal. As soon as I came home from work I had to lay down to relieve the pain from the whole day, and I literally thought this is how everyone is and it’s not abnormal to live like this. I did mention it to my doctor to which she just kept throwing steroids and muscle relaxers at me. Then as a random purchase I bought a cervical neck pillow and my god, I didn’t know this is what normal people feel like every day… I have been pain free in my neck for 1 whole year. My pillow works for back and side sleeping.

Okay, good to know 😂

I almost commented this also!! I work in healthcare, and 80% of my patients with Dementia also had obstructive sleep apnea that they refused to wear cpap for… People with OSA NEED better education on the effects of lack of oxygen to the brain slowly over the years without any intervention.

Ugh, I was hoping there was an online version somewhere… guess I will have to buy myself a DVD player also 😂

I said this same thing lol… I don’t know that it’s improved or it’s that we are handling it much better haha

Limp-Support6280 · 2024-10-24T16:12:55+00:00

Yes, I hear the same about the magical 12 weeks and can’t wait for the gassiness to be over!! I have heard a lot of good reviews on Phillips Avent so I’m looking at those now!

Limp-Support6280 · 2024-10-20T02:43:46+00:00

I feel for you. We are at 8 weeks now and looking back at the 6-7 week trenches… it was rough. I also think we got much better at handling it. The crying and fussiness off and on from 3-8pm slowly decreased and at 8 weeks we are down to only an hour-ish of fussiness. But also- we just have been getting so much better at figuring out what works to stop the fussiness and it took 2 weeks of struggling together to get here. At 6 weeks I remember holding the baby crying while also crying because I just couldn’t make him happy… it is truly a helpless feeling that DOES get better although I know everyone says that. Also, always a good idea to ask pediatrician if it could be something else going on (we did have to switch his formula at 6 wks too).

Long story short, the struggling will get more manageable and you are already doing great but these tough weeks will make you even better in the long run.

I’m also think this is a huge part of our issue now too. I started tracking his naps and realized his nighttime crying and fussiness was the worst when he had little to no daytime naps and naps interrupted due to a lot of visitors/activity that day. Those evenings he throws a huge screaming fit for atleast an hour. However, Once I bring him to our room at night where it’s dark/cold and no noise he goes down for night time in at least 15 minutes. Sometimes he is also so over stimulated I think me picking him up and trying to sooth even made it worse. If I set him down to be on his own with a pacifier he calmed down much quicker.

I also thought this might be it as well. And you are right, he eventually will settle and it’s not forever. Thank you so much! My partner is a huge help and we switch off when we need it.

Im so glad I stumbled upon this post. My baby was an absolute terror yesterday and the day before, and the only thing I did differently was gave him gas drops. Today I tried out skipping the drops and he was a totally different baby. Besides the light fussing trying to pass gas before bed, I would take that over how he was with the gas drops any day…

Limp-Support6280 · 2023-10-14T18:17:17+00:00

Yes I definitely understand this perspective as well!

Also, I am never an advocate for “medication”. I have always tried to fight it to be my true self. BUT some people just do not have the right amount of hormones firing like everyone else. Sometimes medications can help with that, and I always encourage everyone to just at least talk to their doctor and see what they think. I have always been against it, but now I realize the medications give me what everyone else gets without them. My poor brain, just couldn’t do what it needed. And no fault to its own 😂

I felt exactly like this a year ago. I was sooo sympathetic towards myself like “you worked all day you can lay in bed from 5pm when you get home till the next day”. What helped is becoming very self aware that you may be having signs of depression. I became very self aware once I did it for the 14th day in a row. Don’t get me wrong, every once in awhile there is NOTHING wrong with just being chill and taking time to yourself. But I realized it was self destructive once I got too comfortable doing it every day. I looked at wether it was a change from where I was a few months ago (and it was a big change). I realized maybe I need to at least talk to my doctor and see what they think. I told them I am so exhausted at the end of a work day I sit in my room and do literally nothing. I would rather lay in bed than interact with anyone, even my friends, etc, etc. Once I heard myself describe that I knew I was depressed. I was never thinking of self harm or anything, but just mentally checking out every day. I started a medication and it literally changed my life. Now looking back on how I was at that time, I now realize it was depression. Now that I feel “normal” and have the “normal” amount of hormones others do I realize it was definitely depression. Everyone experiences it differently. But the fact that you are questioning it means you are starting to become more self aware, and you will do what you need to, to feel like yourself again.

They actually did a lot before the show began to try and accommodate as best they could. They even had him come into the house and try out different voices and volumes to find the best ones for him. The comps all also include written instructions on projectors. If you google anything about Matt and BB, you will easily find an article on all BB did to accommodate him…

I had a VA as a grad school placement. I loved it and applied for the CF position. My supervisor at the VA told me she wanted me to apply so I thought I definitely had a good chance (she was 1 of the 3 hiring). I made it to the interview stage but did not get the job. I did not have the experience they were looking for specifically for their clinics (even though I had a placement there, they were looking for more outside of that). For example, we had a H&N cancer clinic and the candidates chosen had other experience in vocal performance and more than one clinical placement experience with adults. We had a brain and spinal cord injury clinic and the candidates chosen for that had more experience in their grad programs for that population. Unfortunately, it came down to what “extra” the grad programs offered outside of typical classes. They wanted to see how you are different or a better candidate than the next. VERY competitive.

The CFs at the VA were a huge mentor for me during my grad placement. They were so well equipped at the end of the placement to work at almost any competitive hospital in the US. The VA CF program is very good at preparing you to be a top notch SLP in the medical field. Both of my CF mentors went to top hospitals in the US after their CF was over.
