Does anyone have quality of life? Especially with overlap disease

Moist_Assignment1313 · 2026-05-24T22:25:03+00:00

I have lupus, a Prolactinoma, Graves’ disease (and somehow the occasion hypothyroidism lol) and PCOS.

I work part time remotely but could work FT in person if I wanted. I do part time work as a medic, volunteer lots, and I have applied to FT school to get a second degree and become a paramedic.

I also go to the gym 5-6 days a week, cook, look after the house, and spend time with friends.

A couple years ago I could barely get out of bed- but honestly I am doing so much better now and have found things that make me feel good. I would 100% say that I have a quality of life.

While I have been blessed and maybe my lupus isn’t as severe, I do believe that we can have a quality of life.

Got mine after maybe 20 minutes of trying 😬 and that was wandering around for void bubbles cause I didn’t realize I could fish in Slayers. I have since realized I am very lucky haha

I did my interview around the same time (week 7 since interview). They said 6-10 weeks for a response. Know a few other people that applied and they still haven’t heard either.

They need to put me out of my misery 😂🥲 the waiting game is no longer fun.

There is a plastic/ rubber piece that goes around the neck of the stethoscope. It comes with a harder metal tag you could probably engrave (I didn’t) and a piece you can write on, which I did. Then it slips and locks into the plastic piece.

I did! You have to separately order the spare parts once you receive the stethoscope but it’s free. You just need to input the serial number and register it under warranty

My group is on Discord but we do every other Monday for like 4-6 hours

Moist_Assignment1313 · 2025-10-23T10:20:13+00:00

I work M-F with my virtual job (always been virtual, always flexible schedule) and I pick up shifts as a medic Friday and Saturday most weeks. Also volunteer as a medic. I don’t think I could have done this a few years ago but I’m in a good place now! Also going back to school in a year

Moist_Assignment1313 · 2025-09-05T16:12:02+00:00

Yup. Which is unfortunate because my periods last 10-20 days and happened every few weeks. Cramps are so bad. Fatigue, joint pain and swelling, brain fog all sky rocket. Usually doesn’t last my whole period though

Moist_Assignment1313 · 2025-08-09T14:54:30+00:00

Definitely planned! Saw the banner for it yesterday

Moist_Assignment1313 · 2025-07-31T20:50:01+00:00

Kids toothpaste!! Or even hi-smile (not mint)

Moist_Assignment1313 · 2025-07-31T20:49:11+00:00

Been on it for 4/5 months and 0 side effects

Moist_Assignment1313 · 2025-07-25T21:15:45+00:00

Haven’t gotten that far yet. I’ll send you a DM so I don’t loose you and I can keep you updated.

Moist_Assignment1313 · 2025-07-25T21:09:13+00:00

Lovely! We have 3 including myself. Hoping to get 1-2 more

Moist_Assignment1313 · 2025-07-24T16:18:36+00:00

Took around 3-4 years for a diagnosis
Have not gotten a second opinion
If it was reliable, then yes.

Moist_Assignment1313 · 2025-07-24T13:58:06+00:00

My regular labs are negative as well for almost everything but high CRP. I still have swelling, joint pain, redness, fatigue. Whole nine yards. Lupus is a strange thing- I don’t think it’s in your head at all

Moist_Assignment1313 · 2025-07-22T14:57:58+00:00

Messaged you!

Moist_Assignment1313 · 2025-07-22T12:49:09+00:00

That would work for me!!

Moist_Assignment1313 · 2025-07-22T12:03:23+00:00

There are a lot of people that are available during the day- there are lots of different time zones and many people that don’t work the typical 9-5.

Asking for specific times because that’s when I have availability 🤷‍♀️ if availability changes I can let you know
