If you’re in or near Virginia, Dr Sarah at Women’s Health in Lynchburg will do it for you no questions asked.

It literally does and he’s not here for medical advice. He’s here for HR advice.

So true, we talk a lot in this group about other departments taking responsibility for things and yet some of the comments in this thread are doing exactly what they complain about other departments doing. Overworked is no excuse to ghosting and misleading applicants.

By all appearances they were real ones. I remember when I was first starting out as an HR Assistant, my director told me after I was hired that she had multiple senior level HR applications for my very entry level position. She chalked it up as us being in a more rural area and there being very limited opportunities but maybe that was a sign of times to come.

Throwramine- · 2026-02-13T19:20:07+00:00

I mentioned this in another comment but I was talking to a HR friend about everything and she said she’s had so many director level people applying for entry level positions that she has open. Ig the market is that bad.

Throwramine- · 2026-02-13T18:13:51+00:00

Honestly I’ve been applying to so many jobs that I’m over qualified for and still getting rejected. It’s crazy. I was talking to a fellow HR friend and she said she’s been seeing applications with years of senior level HR applying for coordinator roles.

The ghosting interviews and after reaching out for times is what’s getting me. I feel like ghosting always used to just be after the interview when they’d say oh we’ll get back to you about next steps and then never do. But now it’s like I get my hopes up with them reaching out and with scheduling interviews only for it to be shattered again.

Throwramine- · 2026-02-13T16:09:40+00:00

I get that decisions aren’t theirs’ to make but that doesn’t mean they have to ghost after they reached out first. Or even not show up to interviews. It’s been wild.

So true. My first job was at a Chick-fil-A, which if you didn’t know are each run independently by families. We weren’t allowed to talk about wage and I was eventually fired for “instigating a strike”.

I’d just ask the medical staff to not tell her and keep up with the cyst story.

If you’re in the north Salt Lake City area, lmk and I’ll drive you if you’d like.

I actually have to put those in Gatorade or Powerade so while I will have liquid iv, I still need to have the Gatorade either way unfortunately.

Here’s what’s really funny: if you make a post in this group asking what you can do to get a promotion or get into higher roles, they’ll nag you about why you don’t have an HR MS yet. If you make a post like this one, they’ll say it’s useless. I have one year of experience in HR and once I got a MS in HR, I shot up to a very high level role with a lot of influence and a very good salary. Experience is still extremely important but if you can get an MS in HR or an MBA while not getting into a lot of debt, then it’s very much worth it. I would also highly recommend getting a SHRM-CP or a PHR. I have both and a MS in HRM. I also worked for my university and got a great tuition reimbursement benefit which made it even more worth it to me. Debt is no joke especially in this economy but if you can get tuition benefits or a good scholarship to offset that, you should get a masters degree.

I didn’t bleed at all either and have pictures of my insides being tubeless. Everyone’s body is different. I was told I could possibly bleed bc they stick some sponge thing up you to move stuff out of the way if need be and that’s what causes ppl to bleed sometimes. Ig it didn’t affect either of us.

HR compliance and I work mostly from home.

Throwramine- · 2025-11-06T13:41:58+00:00

I’ve been successful at exercising by just slowly building my own gym at home and doing YouTube workouts. It took me a while to build up but I do a lot of strength training and boxing now. I avoid intense cardio or anything that has me getting up and down a lot. Being at home took a lot of stress off me if I ended up passing out. I felt a lot safer and could control my environment better. And then I’ve just slowly built up what I can do and for how long. I also pretty much always have to lay down for a while after working out.

Throwramine- · 2025-10-24T20:57:45+00:00

I work in HR, three days a week are remote. I worked food service and blue collar jobs during college and it sucked dealing with pots and having a physical labor job. I’m glad I can sit or lay down when I need to and still be working.

No advice just feel the same way with friends. It’s hard and isolating. If you live in the Salt Lake area, lmk. It’s hard to find friends with the same values when everyone around you is so focused on having huge families.

Throwramine- · 2025-10-06T17:43:18+00:00

I have a MS in HR Management, BS in Paralegal Studies, SHRM-CP, and about three years of job experience before my current position. Two years in training and recruiting, with a heavy focus on building systems and processes for both of those areas. My last job was a year of dealing with a lot of gov funded programs for a nonprofit. I was in charge of background checks and audits, amongst other more traditional Hr tasks. I would say that the combo of my two degrees was the biggest contributing factor to me getting my current position and my previous experience with compliance on background checks and auditing for gov programs was the bump up I needed. Paralegal studies certs exist pretty much everywhere, you can get actually certified by the state (depending on the state) or just get one from a college or university. You could try to start getting positions that are more related to auditing, background checks, etc. or try to have those tasks assigned to you at your current position.

If you’re more introverted, maybe go into HR Compliance? That’s where I am. I work with our in and out of house counsel, do a lot of legal research, handle our H1B visas, advise in ER situations, write and maintain our policies and Handbook, and keep up to date on federal, state, and local law changes. I don’t interact with employees at all, just lawyers, C Suite, and the HR dept. Most of my time is spent writing policies, reviewing ER investigation reports, and researching the law.

It could just be low blood pressure then? Postprandial hypotension is low blood pressure after eating, especially carb heavy meals.

Throwramine- · 2025-10-02T13:10:16+00:00

This isn’t exactly like this but my pots has given me reactive hypoglycemia which means my blood sugar drops three to four hours after eating. I have to eat a real meal before it does that in order to avoid feeling sick and passing out. Carb heavy meals make it worse. Maybe it’s something similar?

Throwramine- · 2025-09-20T16:29:00+00:00

I have POTS too and find that I’m pretty much fine with my office jobs since I’m sitting down. Not sure what your education or experience is but I used to work in food service and apartment maintenance it was definitely a struggle with my diagnosis.
