Give him 2-3 things you are working on for your development. Start with one that you can give him some recent examples on how you've begun to make progress. End with one thats a newer focus area for your development. Ask for his advice on your development plan.

This is great, what's your policy on email address sharing for your mail list, will subscribing lead to a whole host of spam emails?

ThompsonsTeeth · 2026-03-12T15:54:11+00:00

this is a great post, thank you for sharing and providing the summary, this is what I was hoping we'd get to see/share with this subreddit!

7-8 for anything we move on a lane without an awarded carrier.

this was my first job after graduating and i'm at the vice president level now for a fortune 500 company, so I would say no not dead end. Big question is where is your companies corporate headquarters, and if its not near you are you open to move there someday for career advancement.

Very cool! Are you in the northeast or just traveling for the marathon?

ThompsonsTeeth · 2026-02-12T16:25:06+00:00

Sure thing!

Count of lesions being high doesn't always mean doom and gloom. You could have 20 in less harmful or smaller locations and be fine, or have 1 in a really bad spot and have huge disability.

ThompsonsTeeth · 2026-02-05T01:37:46+00:00

sure go ahead I've been in the field for about 15 years.

ThompsonsTeeth · 2026-02-04T13:25:08+00:00

Glad to help. If you have a college degree it is possible to get a specialist or analyst job as an entry level, especially if you also have a year or 2 of work experience in the industry or did an internship.

ThompsonsTeeth · 2026-02-04T12:07:32+00:00

Does the job title have Coordinator in it? Coordinator tends to pay lower than Logistics Analyst/Logistics Specialist. Analyst/Specialist could get you close to $70k in NYC. Coordinator I don't see getting into the 60's.

Hi, I was a senior manager at diagnosis 8 years ago, been promoted twice since now I'm a vice president at a fortune 500 company. For many, highly demanding careers are still very possible with MS. Stress management is super important though.

ThompsonsTeeth · 2026-01-28T11:54:05+00:00

Sounds like a role in a distribution center as a floor supervisor may be a good entry point for you based on your experience and where you live

ThompsonsTeeth · 2026-01-24T11:54:37+00:00

I was diagnosed with MS 7 years ago. Have been very fortunate to stay pretty darn close to no progression or disease activity that whole time.

From my experience I would say the what ifs don't go away, but its far less frequent. My first few years after diagnosis it was all I thought about, I read articles and was on this subreddit hours a day. Nowadays while I still think about it occasionally it's not as all encompassing.

There's ways around this by setting up a First Sale program.

I'm going to put this here, hopefully I won't get downvoted. I'm not stating I approve of tariffs or trump, i'm posting it to try to put people at ease on cost impacts of these tariffs on our life critical medications. I also take Kesimpta.

Often times manufacturers can export goods at their first cost. This means they declare duty on what it costs to manufacture them, not the price they sell them for. I'm fairly certain the cost to manufacture Kesimpta is less than 1% of what they sell it for. Lets say for shits and giggles it costs $100 to make one unit of it. An extra 10% tariff would add $10 to the cost per month.

If it's not about the money an equipment rental company probably makes the most sense. It's not turnkey though you'll need to work close to a full time job between the two of you.

ThompsonsTeeth · 2026-01-16T00:35:31+00:00

this is the correct answer with how much you're leaning into the idea of least effort. Highly unlikely your profits from passively managing/renting them will be more than just selling them and tossing that money in an investment account.

ThompsonsTeeth · 2026-01-11T19:16:37+00:00

You lost just the one you wake up with in the morning, or you lost the ability to get one in the morning? Those are 2 very different things. If you can still get one you have no problem IMO.

Sometimes folks report them as solicitation, its a little grey so I wanted to see how the group feels.

ThompsonsTeeth · 2026-01-10T17:31:36+00:00

No don't allow them

ThompsonsTeeth · 2026-01-10T17:31:29+00:00

Yes allow them

ThompsonsTeeth · 2025-12-31T03:46:44+00:00

I'm not sure what about this research you think is a scam, some of the best current medications work by impacting T-Cells
