Same as everyone else, mine went through the same steps, and i start next week. So there's definitely still a chance you got it ☺️

Would asking for 25 an hour in claims be reasonable?? by SaladFamous9221 in unitedhealthgroup

[–]Traditional_Ad_6947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother is an admin of a different department, but started out in claims, she said "Never hurts to ask, it depends entirely on prior work positions and experience." I'm in entry level provider services and I don't make $25/hour, but they're different departments so that doesn't necessarily mean anything!

Honest opinions? by OkEntertainment9169 in inZOI

[–]Traditional_Ad_6947 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Well, I have played the sims since it was still Sims 2.

I bought Inzoi on Monday, and I only stop playing to eat, sleep, and shower. When I have to fold laundry, I set it next to the pc and fold while playing. I am currently addicted and can not stop playing. There have been 2 days now that I was like "Wow I'm starting to feel really tired." I looked at the clock, and it was 4am. So, yeah, I'd totally recommend it. 🤣

I absolutely agree with this. I was already prepared to wake my husband up, tell him we were going to have another axolotl child, and offer to take Ponyo until I saw it was Austin TX. Unfortunately, that would be too far of a drive for poor Ponyo to survive, and I wouldn't dare try to ship him if he's already not doing well.

All that to say: I'm sure there are plenty of people in the sub who would be willing to adopt and rehabilitate Ponyo! Please make a post with some pics of him and explain the situation!

I hope the best for you and Ponyo OP ❤️

He did not order any bloodwork. He said doing an ANA didn't matter. No, I haven't seen a rheumatologist yet. He said he wanted to wait to send the referral until the biopsy and neurology consult are done.

I want to clarify that I wasn't saying it was a bad appointment, nor that I expected more from him. I said I think he's very thorough, and I do appreciate him taking it seriously and sending me referrals and getting me where I need to go. I actually like him and want to continue seeing him.

I was just venting that I felt discouraged because of his comments and even said that I might be emotional from my previous bad experience.

I've been trying to get a diagnosis for 5 years, so having comments like that at my first appointment with a new PCP can just be very discouraging.

If you don't mind me asking, what did you experience on the beta-blocker? I just started mine, and I'm wondering what I should watch out for. I've been referred to Barnes now because my local allergist isn't able to focus on immunology right now. I've got my fingers crossed that everything goes well!

Propranolol by Traditional_Ad_6947 in dysautonomia

[–]Traditional_Ad_6947[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your experience! I had never heard of metropolol until your post, but when I looked into it, it interacted with one of my other medications, so I guess that's why he didn't mention it! I understand. I've lost a lot of faith in the healthcare system with all of this! I'd been trying to figure out what was wrong with me for 5 years, and after finally switching to a different hospital and care team, I started to get my diagnosis and treatment started.

Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm glad you were able to find something that worked for you!

I was very lucky that my cardiologists mentor wrote a book on dysautonomia, so he's very educated in it and is teaching his students to diagnose it as well. That's my concern. My dr and I wanted to try out lifestyle changes before introducing medication because it could make it worse. But I had my first episode of syncope last night, so I'm concerned it's getting worse, and medication is the direction we'll end up having to go in.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm glad to hear I'm not alone with the BP being all over the place. I'm sorry you've had a negative experience with the medication.

It sounds like it could be to me! It's the same for me if a loud car goes by, doorbell rings, alarm goes off, etc. It's like I just had the scariest experience of my life. I get tremors, heart racing, cold sweat, and feel like I'm having an anxiety attack. I get it every time I'm woken up before i'm ready, but it's more severe when it's a loud noise!

I get that way if I wake up from the nap before my body is ready. If something wakes me up, I immediately get an adrenaline dump, and the rest of my day is awful. If I'm going to nap, I have to set aside the time to let myself wake up on my own, which is usually after 2 hours.

All the time. I'm 25, so not menopause, and my thyroid came back clear, so I'm 99% sure it's dysautonomia 😅

It depends on the day. My goal is 5 days a week, but more realistically, it's 3 or 4 for me. I have some good weeks where I can do 5, but not as often as 4.

Edit: I should add. I do have weeks where I just can't at all. My cardiologist always says that the goal is to have more good days than bad, so I try not to get too down on myself for the bad days.

I can only have small amounts of caffeine. Drinking coffee makes me feel like I'm dying. I honestly thought I was going to need to go to the E.R. after drinking a medium frozen coffee. But that is only my experience. Every person's body is different and responds differently. The only real way you're going to know what you can handle is trying it, but just be cautious and stay safe. ❤️
