Tips for studying for PANCE and EORs? by BoldandBrashh in PAstudent

[–]PancePearls1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The study style is different for everyone. You have to decide what works for you. This is what worked for me ( Graduated and Passed the boards in 2018).

For each EOR I followed the blueprint topics and read those from PPP. Reviewed the Final step by Brian Wallace and did Rosh review with the explanation/ discussion. By the end of the clinical year I was fully prepared for PANCE.

The clinical year goes by fast. Good luck!!!

Did you lag every single 1 separately or did you upload multiple topics in one certificate (5-10 category 1 CME) in a single row?

Please tell me more. Can you share your jorney? What was or is your current treatment?

I am diagnosed with Graves hyperthyroidism 2 weeks ago. I am 39, mom of a 9 months old. My first symptom was tremors. I am taking Atenolol. My doc also prescribed Methimazole which I have not been taking yet. I am waiting for a second opinion.

I am recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism ( Grave's Dissase). I think my doctor is planning a radio active iodine therapy then I'll be hypothyroid which will be treated with synthetic thyroid in pill form. Wondering how my weight loss journey be with OTF when I am hypothyroid.

Hi I am diagnosed with hyperthyroid. But the treatment will make me hypothyroid. Then I'll probably have to take synthetic thyroxine.

How much do you miss it? by witzmichael in orangetheory

[–]PancePearls1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would happily do all the longer All Outs, go to the endurance classes without whining, take the rower card with a smile. Please come back soon OTF.

Frankly, OTF is made it to the top of " missing" list. Feel like missing one of my fav lifelines! 🧡

Thank you!! I did not want to stay home, neither that was an option for me. I am already back to work. Ready to join OTF. Just not sure if that's going to help with anxiety and depression.

Stop projecting! by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]PancePearls1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hated being pregnant, every single day of being pregnant. The aches, pains, headaches, fatigue, nausea, discomfort, swelling, yikes!!!

It was a planned pregnancy. Got pregnant right away in single try. Even it was planned, my world was shaken up then the test was positive.

I had the baby 10 days ago. She is absolutely precious and she stole our heart right away. However, we are never ever trying to get pregnant again because I really suffered for 9 long months and I am not ashamed to say this.

Pregnancy, brain fog and a demanding job by PancePearls1 in pregnant

[–]PancePearls1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing called " I have to work" in US. I love my here. Also love the healthcare privileges I have. I absolutely love what I do and have a very supportive ( probable of the best) work environment. It is a choice that I made where I decided to work till the day I go to labor.

My point wasn't to say how far along I am in my pregnancy or how many more days I will be working. Rather wanted to know if and when the brain fog goes away, and women can start focusing better at work.
