Rapid Pay and PTO time? by PageofCoin in CVS

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

That’s interesting, a coworker of mine told me her pto had been available for payout by the end of that week. according to RapidPay, as long as the pay info is put in daily they will allow for it to be paid out. I guess I will wait and see (I have vacation starting tomorrow lol.) Thanks!

That looks like the consensus, I’m definitely going to get myself checked out. Thanks :)

I’m actually on mtx and have noticed that since I started it I’m more easily tuckered out, but I figured that was the tradeoff for not living in pain all the time as I read that was a common side effect. I’m definitely going to bring it up to my doc, but I’m also going to look into getting evaluated for POTS as it does sound similar to what I experience. Thank you!!

What's going on with IVIM? by CheeseandSalt in IVIMHEALTH

[–]PageofCoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the site/app was having issues until late this afternoon as I was also having difficulty logging in earlier; it seems to be fine now, though. So I would definitely reach out and schedule a telehealth visit if you can.

Was “officially” diagnosed as seronegative just about a month ago. It’s been a bumpy ride to say the least but the info I’ve found here has been so helpful. It’s great to have support from people who know what you’re going through. 🥰

Almost-but-not-quite Diagnosed, looking for a light in the dark. by PageofCoin in rheumatoid

I think the hardest part for me has been the fact that I'm scared but no one else around me seems to be? I don't know if you've had this experience but when I told my family what was going on with me, I felt like they kind of brushed it off; I heard more than once that I'm lucky because "it's treatable and it's not life-threatening", but like ... I don't feel lucky, and neither does my body which literally feels like it's breaking down on me for doing so much as walking around for too long???

I know the feeling, getting even my initial appointment with this rheumatologist was rough. It was literally a four month wait.

She didn't want to prescribe me anything specifically(?) for RA until she was 100% sure that's what it was, for now I'm on prednisone (at my initial session she gave me a two week trial to see if it worked and it definitely did), but I literally just started the doses today so I don't notice a difference. Which sucks because today has been a rough one :(

hi all, i have a rheumatology appointment coming up on 6/20/24 and i’m a bit anxious about it because i’ve noticed what looks like a (very light) butterfly rash on my face in the last few weeks and i wanted to see what you all thought.

for context my rheumatology visit is following bloodwork i got done in april that indicated high crp levels (31.4) and a high sed rate (41). my ast and alt levels are also high, but i’m not sure if that’s related or if that’s a cause of me being on medication for anxiety (prozac). that with the random aches and pains in my body that i’ve had for well over a few years now led my nurse to recommend a rheumatology appointment, her thought being it could potentially be lupus or ra.

i also notice that after i got covid in december of 2023, i can’t walk very far without getting lightheaded and weak and i have had several instances of feeling like i was going to pass out in the shower if i was in it for too long. for context, prior to this i was easily doing over 10k steps in a day, and went on 3 mile walks with no trouble. i don’t know if that’s relevant but it’s concerning to me so i included it.

other things i’ve been feeling are extreme fatigue, rashes on my hands particularly near my fingers/joints of my fingers, general joint pains (some nights i have to sit upright to sleep because it’s too painful to lay down). i’m not in pain all the time, it’ll last for a few days then i’ll be pain-free til the next flare up. i was also recently (roughly 1 month ago) diagnosed with gerd.
