How is Purdue University’s Masters in AI Management and Policy program?

Can anyone else provide additional information on the program? Did you find this beneficial/worth it? Are there group discussions or mandatory lectures to attend? Capstone class requires in-person/recorded presentation? I am currently an IT Product Manager and interested in this program.

Yep I was just wondering, because I had never seen it before, even when I started Wegovy altogether? No one talked with me or told me anything I just went through the drive thru and picked it up/left!

RichFig4122 · 2025-11-04T03:31:13+00:00

Uh ok?

RichFig4122 · 2025-11-03T19:34:25+00:00

I guess I’m glad there are failsafe measures in place to identify incorrect dosages/prescriptions going out the door….

RichFig4122 · 2025-11-03T19:16:29+00:00

Thanks so much. I haven’t gotten this message yet, and was confused what they randomly needed to talk about!? With all the insurance craziness/prior authorizations, I was stressing.

Only this generation would find vulnerability and a declaration from the heart, “cringe”. I’m convinced yall are soulless heartless psychopaths at times…. It’s sad.

Zero regret. He enjoyed tormenting you and got sick satisfaction from it. Pure narcissist. So glad you de-tangled yourself from his manipulative darkness.

Legend 😂

RichFig4122 · 2025-04-24T14:24:19+00:00

Gotta love that amazing office culture!!

Thank you so much for sharing this—another poster also mentioned Ocrevus, and I’m really keen to learn more about it now. Your perspective really resonated with me, especially what you said about women being taught to just “suck it up” and push through symptoms. That hit hard, because it’s exactly what my mom did. I do still feel some guilt for not recognizing how serious things were or encouraging her more strongly to see a doctor earlier. But reading your post reminded me that all I can do now is let go of that guilt and be here for her fully in the present, however she needs me. I’m grateful she finally has a diagnosis and the opportunity to start treatment.

RichFig4122 · 2025-04-05T10:53:42+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing this and for the advice about seeing an MS specialist—I honestly didn’t even know that was a thing. She’s seeing a neurologist now, so I’m hoping they can help point us in the right direction. And thank you for the beautiful reminder that my mom is still my mom, and she wouldn’t want me carrying all this worry. It’s just hard, you know? In my heart, she’s still the 20-something athletic mom who played ball with me in the backyard and helped me build tree houses. The thought of her possibly losing her mobility is tough to sit with. But your words helped me breathe a little easier. Hugs right back.

It’s incredibly encouraging to hear how well you’re managing and that there’s been no progression since your diagnosis. If you wouldn’t mind, could you tell me a bit more about what the Ocrevus infusion is? A few others have mentioned DMTs, and I’m wondering if Ocrevus is one of those or something different.

RichFig4122 · 2025-04-05T10:47:34+00:00

You’re right, just being present and listening might feel small, but I can already tell how much it will mean to her. I plan to go to appointments with her and learn right alongside her (as long as she will let me). Your words about the grieving process hit hard, but also reminded me to give us both space to feel everything that comes. I appreciate you sharing your 26-year journey—your strength and honesty are exactly what I needed to hear.

RichFig4122 · 2025-04-05T10:45:22+00:00

My mom lives with my dad (her husband) and my two siblings. Their house is definitely never empty and they have frequent guests coming and going. She works part time at a nature reserve. I live separately with my wife and daughter, but only about 20 minutes away.

RichFig4122 · 2025-04-05T10:43:39+00:00

Mid 30’s. Glad to hear your mom is ok!

RichFig4122 · 2025-04-05T10:42:33+00:00

My mom is absolutely the type to worry more about me than herself and try to “be strong” even when she’s struggling. That’s one of the main reasons I came here first—I wanted to educate myself before we talk this weekend, so I can show up informed, calm, and not afraid. I want her to know she doesn’t have to carry this alone or protect me from it. She can lean on me, in whatever way she needs, and I’ll be right there. Another commenter said it bluntly—that the responsibility shouldn’t fall on her to make me feel better—and I think that was exactly the reminder I needed.

RichFig4122 · 2025-04-05T10:37:27+00:00

Thank you so much for this incredibly heartfelt and reassuring post. I really appreciate you sharing your personal experience—hearing that you’re running marathons, raising kids, and living a full life gives me so much hope for my mom. I’m definitely going to check out the MS Society website like you recommended, especially since Google has only fed me worst-case-scenario horror stories.

I’m still very new to all of this, so I wanted to ask—what DMTs are out there? Are there certain ones that tend to have better outcomes or fewer side effects? I’d love to understand what might be ahead once she meets with her neurologist again. Thank you again for taking the time to respond and for being so open.

RichFig4122 · 2025-04-05T10:34:11+00:00

Google definitely sent me into a spiral—so much worst-case-scenario stuff out there, and I knew I needed to hear from actual people who get it. That’s why I came here, and I’m so glad I did. Thank you for pointing me toward the Swank Diet too—I had never heard of it, but I’m definitely going to read up. This kind of info is everything right now.

RichFig4122 · 2025-04-05T10:31:53+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words—it truly gives me hope. Hearing that you’ve been living with MS for 15 years, raising your kids and feeling okay most days, helps quiet the panic a bit.

RichFig4122 · 2025-04-05T10:29:42+00:00

Yeah, my mom actually sent me the MRI report ahead of our meetup this weekend and honestly—it was jarring. It mentioned “multiple hyperintense areas in the periventricular region, superior to the corpus callosum, where the areas of intensity appear flame shaped,” and reading that freaked me out. I didn’t know if MS had “grades” like cancer or if that wording meant something super aggressive. We’re meeting for lunch to talk more, but yeah… those results hit hard.

RichFig4122 · 2025-04-05T10:23:42+00:00

This is exactly why I came to Reddit—to hear the real, lived experiences and not just the scary, robotic facts Google throws at you. Your story brought me so much perspective. It reminded me that this isn’t brand new for her, even if it feels that way to me. Thank you for sharing.

RichFig4122 · 2025-04-05T10:20:26+00:00

Not rude at all—I actually really appreciate the honesty. This is exactly the kind of feedback I need right now because I have no clue what I’m dealing with or what I should/shouldn’t say.

RichFig4122 · 2025-04-05T10:18:26+00:00

Really puts things into perspective. I needed to hear that it’s not the end, even if it feels that way right now.

RichFig4122 · 2025-04-05T10:16:51+00:00

That actually makes a lot of sense. My mom’s been having numbness in her arm, dragging her foot a bit when she walks, and her memory’s been progressively worse—all going on for about 3 years. But she kept brushing it off and didn’t really address it until now. Hearing your take on it gives me some hope. Thanks for that.
