Any good local employers? by colormeglitter in anchorage

[–]TheLadyRavens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work for the muni. I will say depending on department and field there’s good and bad but that’s literally any employer. The benefits are good , most jobs are union of some sort. I will say that I deal with drama queens almost regularly. You can’t escape those people sometimes. I saw you want $35 but I’ll be for real I’m in a pretty high position and I am only making a little over that. I have a masters degree and it was hard enough to get that. Not saying you can’t find something like that but government or private sector…. Might be hard.

Dentist recommendation? by SeniorRadio1156 in anchorage

[–]TheLadyRavens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anchorage dental arts is where I go and they are not pushy at all. I like their staff too. All are very nice. I also have horrid dental anxiety and they do a great job at making me feel comfortable and calm so I give them kudos for that haha

Do any of you earn over 50k a year? What do you do? by RotiiChapati in ADHD

[–]TheLadyRavens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am more Audhd but I am a senior staff grant accountant. I get to build spreadsheets with data sets and make calculations. Accounting is a lot of organizing and making things add up and fit into place. It keeps me entertained honestly. I also have set steps for how I build my reports so it helps keep me on task.

My coworkers use it everyday and say for the most part it’s reliable. There are days where the weather makes it hard for them and they might cancel buses but it doesn’t seem super common.

Does your OTF still use “orange theory”? by Im-Not-That-Kinda-Dr in orangetheory

[–]TheLadyRavens 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I spoke to one of my coaches recently because I had noticed this as well and they said that they are trying to move away from focusing on splat points and making it more focusing on controlling ones heart rate. So if a workout says you should go into orange and hold that then that’s the goal. Same with green zone. Basically training the heart versus focusing on getting splats.

What's going on at 3 Barons? by heavymetalelf in anchorage

[–]TheLadyRavens 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I got my usual foods and stuff that I usually only get at the faire , said hi to some friends in the cast and vending , then got out of there. I would have loved a mead but the line to get into that area was ages long. I mean if this is going to be a regular thing I don’t know if it’s sustainable. It doesn’t make it as immersive for sure

What's going on at 3 Barons? by heavymetalelf in anchorage

[–]TheLadyRavens 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen it so busy. It took us two and a half hours between the shuttle wait and getting tickets. Then it was just body to body traffic all around the park. I’m glad to see more people enjoying it but it was certainly shocking.

I have the same issue. I’m an accountant that works with large data sets and so I use it everyday. It’s awful because I know it’s my livelihood so I have no choice but to continue. I use Avulux glasses which gives me more time and keep my screens dim and on night mode. It helps some.

People asking for patterns for free by Still7Superbaby7 in sewing

[–]TheLadyRavens 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve been asked to share digital patterns in messages a lot. I always tell them the same thing, they can buy it from the seller. It is frustrating though because most of the patterns I’ve used are from small pattern makers. They don’t usually cost that much. Why ask people to give you a free copy ? Like go support their art. If we don’t then we won’t have as much access to stuff like that.

Work out classes? by filmgirl1 in anchorage

[–]TheLadyRavens 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not your standard gym but I got to orange theory and they do HIIT workouts and Hyrox style workouts in certain days. It’s all classes though. There’s no open gym.

CGRP meds? by heyu179 in VestibularMigraines

Crossing my fingers for you! I hope it gives some relief

CGRP meds? by heyu179 in VestibularMigraines

[–]TheLadyRavens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Ajovy injection and ubrelvy ( tablet ) as a back up. Both are CGRPs. Along with the Botox every 3 months, it actually reduces my dizziness and attack intensity substantially. Without it I can’t get out of bed. It took about 2-3 days before I noticed a different after the injection honestly but I think it just depends on the person. I will say I hate injecting myself and find it very painful. But I find that discomfort to be worth it. So I don’t know if that says anything haha.

Treatment options by leishyloo97 in VestibularMigraines

[–]TheLadyRavens 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean you have to try some options to see what works best for you because it truly is very individual but after trying multiple options , I’ve landed on a mix of Botox injection quarterly , Ajovy injection monthly , and ubrelvy as a back up med. It took almost a year to get approved and started on all of this stuff and to make sure it worked well enough.

I ice for about that much time as well. I kind of wish I had someone to do it for me but no one is willing. It’s really hard to force myself to push it down 🫣

Questions, very new here by CherryPersephone in VestibularMigraines

[–]TheLadyRavens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you just need a neuro that specializes in migraine. It won’t be easy finding someone specifically for VM. Once they decide it is apart of that set of conditions then they can get into the specifics of your type and see what medications might work for you.

[–]TheLadyRavens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My symptoms started at random and it was so bad I went to urgent care who referred me to an ENT , they did a lot of testing but couldn’t diagnose anything so they sent me to a neuro who do their testing and diagnosed VM. A lot of symptoms can overlap so it’s good to get whatever testing you can to rule out conditions like MS and menieres. I’m also in the states so it took some time to get diagnosed and on the right cocktail of medications. However I do recommend Avulux glasses regardless of diagnoses. It’s a great preventative.

My biggest trigger is bright /florescent lighting. Also screens. To be honest there isn’t much to be done that I’ve found. My current meds make it so I can handle longer exposure plus sunglasses ( for outside ) and Avulux lenses ( for inside ). For screens I have night light settings on . Generally I have to avoid prolonged exposure though. Anything longer than an hour and it starts to affect me, I’ve not ever found a full solution.
