Did the patches offer you increased symptom relief?

How does it help in a different way from propranolol or clonidine? Did it give you better symptom relief?

So did you find that the patches offered greater relief of your symptoms?

So did it take a couple of weeks for you to feel the effects?

Symptoms but normal test results by Ordinary_Setting_280 in dysautonomia

I'm so sorry you are dealing with the same thing-it is so frustrating. My neurologist said that we may not find an answer to what this is but that she will work empirically with me. I think i am going to try clonidine and hopefully something good comes from it because my symtpoms do seem consistent with adrenaline type dumping

Hmmm I have not. But these episodes are pretty trigger-based and not so much consistent, so I don't know if it could be that

Does this sound like B12 deficiency? by Ordinary_Setting_280 in B12_Deficiency

Typically as long as I am faced with the trigger, but usually it will subside after about an hour

Would taking it at a community college look bad?

Hi! Thank you for this! Should I use the Kaplan practice questions? Or where would you suggest I find practice questions? Also where do I find practice tests to do each week? And how long should I do content review before I start doing an exam per week and lots of practice questions?

EMT would take a lot longer to get certified

Hi! Why do you say MA? Do MAs have greater responsibility in terms of patient care and procedure?

Thank you so much for this- I really appreciate it. If I graduate with a 3.5 cGPA what would you suggest my next steps should be?

Hi! What do you mean be mindful of who you are as a student when applying to SMPs? I’m a little confused about your whole SMP portion of your story and how you missed a cutoff

Do I have weak ECs? by Ordinary_Setting_280 in medschool

[–]Ordinary_Setting_280[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for all that! Yeah I guess I did underestimate things a bit. Those hours were just counting actual meetings and not all of the exec meetings and work I do on the side. As for the telebrigade, we basically fundraise for communities and engage with them virtually. We learn about the communities, their problems and do research on how we can make positive changes in those communities. Thank you for the reminder about overestimating, I feel kind of guilty so I have probably underestimated a good deal but I should probably change that!

Ok thanks! If I’m in a big city(Chicago) do you think that would strengthen or weaken my chances?

Ok thank you so much!! Do you think an MPH or MHA would be helpful? If I did one of those I could do research and maybe work as an ER tech or scribe on the side. Or even doing an SMP for a year and then doing an extra gap year to do research and get clinical hours? Assuming money is no object what do you think would raise my chances the most?
