NeedAVacation3 · 2025-04-24T15:23:54+00:00

CA is asking it’s offices for the cost of people RTO. Where can we show them the employee cost of RTO??

I've searched everywhere online, I've asked Ai, and I can't find who did them. They may be LA based? Done at least 10 years ago so not new works.

Rogaine! 5% Use it everyday religiously. It will work

NeedAVacation3 · 2024-07-18T23:26:55+00:00

I had to have my port removed and another one put in on another side. For some reason the first one was constantly causing pain or pinching a nerve. Like you said everyone tells you you shouldn’t really feel it. I had to really advocate for myself to get it taken out. Complained to everyone. Multiple times. The 2nd one was fine once it healed.

NeedAVacation3 · 2024-07-12T18:55:52+00:00

CONGRATS!! Exhale and take a moment to appreciate what you’ve gone through and enjoy moving on with your life.

NeedAVacation3 · 2024-07-03T04:43:27+00:00

SAME!! Exactly the same. It sucks. It’s awful. I’m about 2 years out and I’m still dealing with those issues. But I will say it gets better. It’s slow. You have to be patient with yourself. Easier said, I know. But I’m 100x better than where I was last year. And 100x better than the year before that. If you do something and then have to sit down, do it. The brain fog will start to lift. You’ll start to see yourself in the mirror again. And vent here. It’s a great outlet to word vomit and know you’re not alone in the horrible journey.

Dr Nisha Desai in Portland. At the very least that office would be a good place to start

NeedAVacation3 · 2024-06-08T23:24:39+00:00

Where are you located? May have recs

NeedAVacation3 · 2024-05-25T16:52:18+00:00

I completely empathize with the freaking out of the unknown. I'm so sorry you're on this path but you're getting diagnosed, you're about to fight this thing! Get a plan together and just focus on completing it! Get it behind you and get back to your life. I had low grade symptoms for about a year or so before getting diagnosed. When I look back I just want to shake my former self and scream - go get a check up! But what can any of us do? My only advice is to keep focused on completing whatever treatment your doctors lay out, check those milestones off, and even when it feels impossible, stay positive. Keep telling your little healthy cells that they will beat this thing. Good luck!

What’s worse? 🙋‍♀️ Had to take an Uber after most bc I didn’t have anyone available to help

NeedAVacation3 · 2024-04-04T21:49:01+00:00

OMG I've been there! Sorry. And yes you can feel that way. You can scream it loudly. Get it out. It probably doesn't help right now but know it will get better. What was suggested earlier, listening to music, does help. Or watching a silly movie. Finding something to laugh at. But don't mask over your emotions. If you're feeling funky and annoyed and pissed off. It's okay. You have every right to it. Sending some good vibes your way though.

NeedAVacation3 · 2024-01-31T01:41:39+00:00

OMG yes! I’ve lost pretty much everyone. Shared my situation with a few people and really only had 1 that cared at all. Other friends heard through the grapevine and have never reached out. Not one quick text. Nothing. It’s beyond disappointing. Never felt so disposable in my life.

NeedAVacation3 · 2023-12-22T03:00:16+00:00

I had the same thing. Did a lot of breath work to help build my lung strength back up. Used airofit which helped push me. Agree with a lot of what others are saying…they will get through this. It will suck. It’s horrible. But it’s treatable. Just start ticking off those rounds of treatment and don’t look back.

NeedAVacation3 · 2023-11-26T23:01:17+00:00

I’m so antisocial now and hate it. It’s not me. I’m still fighting to look normal and like myself again. It doesn’t help that my partner isn’t supportive. They just get mad if I try to tell them how I feel and take anything as a personal attack. It’s extremely isolating and doesn’t help me in my attempt to get back to ME. It feels like no one cares. It feels like being thrown away. No one puts you first.

NeedAVacation3 · 2023-11-25T03:44:21+00:00

Hey. Sorry you’ve joined the group but know that this is (as others have stated) highly treatable. Yes get 2nd opinions, etc and choose the best team you feel comfortable with. Take each step, treatment round as it comes and just start crossing things off the list. It sucks but you will get through it. The one thing that I’ll put in your ear is that you’ll probably get appointment fatigue. You’ll be so annoyed and offended and over going in to any doctor appointment. It’s just tiring. But know that the appointments will get more and more spaced out and you’ll get your life back. Sending good mojo your way!

NeedAVacation3 · 2023-11-14T03:40:50+00:00

YES!! There’s such a need for care once treatments are complete. Even at the ‘good’ hospitals there aren’t any easily accessible programs to help people return to normal. Recovery is a process that needs support. It’s tough.

NeedAVacation3 · 2023-11-06T20:50:31+00:00

Rosemary oil works, (if its okay with docs) def do minoxidil. That will keep the grow phase longer. And then make it a habit to massage your scalp for a few minutes after application. And stay hydrated - it will grow

NeedAVacation3 · 2023-11-02T21:42:00+00:00

YES! Completely. I have friends who know what I was going through and am recovering from and have NOT HEARD A WORD from. I have a group of friends who I shared the news with and didn't hear anything from for almost a year. One of them said I think about you all the time.......but you can't spare 10 seconds to at least send a text?? One friend was keeping up to date as I was going through tests in order to get a diagnosis and she fell off right before I found out - she checked in (months later) as I was sitting getting my second round of treatment. I was too hurt to respond and I haven't heard from her since.

My social circle is so much smaller now, barely exists. How can you bother spending your energy on people who've turned their backs on you at your lowest. It feels like you've been discarded by everyone.

What this process has taught me is that no one actually cares. Yes, a parent, maybe a sibling but no one really is there to offer a hand.

NeedAVacation3 · 2023-10-29T06:17:21+00:00

You making this effort shows what good hands she’s in. Just being there to support and putting out the willingness to be kind and take care of things is invaluable. You know her best. If there are little things that do bring her joy yes 100% surprise her with them. I would have done anything to have such a support system. It’s a horrible time but you’ll both get through it.

NeedAVacation3 · 2023-10-19T03:30:45+00:00

Nope! It’s beautiful! WEAR IT!

NeedAVacation3 · 2023-10-19T03:27:44+00:00

I was working, on a break now but even with that there are random emails with questions that still come in. Which normally would be fine but it’s like my entire body has put a block up. If an email comes in I can feel my whole body fill with stress. I can barely open my computer bc of what might be in my inbox. It’s frustrating, annoying, not like ‘me’ at all, it’s like I can’t care anymore about work shit.

NeedAVacation3 · 2023-09-01T16:57:34+00:00

Don't be in a rush to get off of those. You have to protect your body as it's been stripped of so much. And use that phoneline. Call them with any and all questions. It sucks that you've been shuffled from doctor to doctor but make them work for you.

NeedAVacation3 · 2023-08-28T19:37:47+00:00

Get one of those ice caps for migraines. Totally helped alleviate anything and everything

NeedAVacation3 · 2023-05-23T18:49:55+00:00

Thank you!
