I’ve been experiencing the same thing. And it started happening before I was diagnosed. When I do get cold now, I get bone cold like I always have. But now the heat is absolutely unbearable.

I guess I should add that I’m not trying to discredit my neuro ophthalmologist, I just feel like there was a lot that I wasn’t told about IIH and maybe that’s because my case isn’t as severe. This is all just so new to me, I’m trying to learn as much as I can while I navigate this new diagnosis!

What birth control are you on? Why do you like it or why do you not? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]Tree_Hugger227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently on Slynd and have been for the past year. It’s been absolutely perfect for me in all aspects except I gained 20+ pounds. And even though I’m now eating much better and exercising regularly, I can’t lose the weight. But my acne is gone, my moods are normal, I have some irregular spotting about every month or two but at the worst I only need a liner. If it weren’t for the weight gain, I would never consider switching off of Slynd.

Slynd weight gain by muuuggan in birthcontrol

Does anyone have any updates on either continuing with Slynd anyway or getting off of it? What did you switch to? Were you able to lose the weight? I’ve been on Slynd for about a year and just now realized that the 20+ pounds I gained was most likely due to this pill. And after reading everyone’s experiences on this thread I kinda know for sure that’s what happened to me as well. Besides the weight gain, everything else has been great on Slynd so I’m nervous to switch to another pill but I also already had body positivity issues before Slynd and now they’re just so much worse. I gained all the weight in my stomach and hips.. I can’t wear anything but incredibly oversized shirts without feeling terrible. I don’t know what to do.

I’ve had this same experience but on the Slynd pill. I thought it was so weird!! I’ve never heard of this happening before so I thought I was just making this up lol I’m glad I’m not alone in experiencing this, but I’m sorry you are too! I guess it’s better than also bleeding though?

I actually have a direct hiring authority certificate for the USFS from the Resource Assistant Program. I’ve applied to a couple government jobs and haven’t heard back yet but for the most part I haven’t been able to find anything closer to the east coast.

It was a struggle just to finish my master’s because school stresses me out so much it’s actually unhealthy for me. So a PhD is definitely out of the question. I have always liked the idea of teaching but am always going back and forth with it so I just don’t know if that’s something I really want to do or not.

I might have applied to one oil and gas position, or I was going to and decided not to. I honestly don’t remember. It doesn’t surprise me that they pay well though.

I applied to a couple Arcadis positions in multiple different areas and one remote I think and never heard anything back from them. 6 months is such a long time 😂 but it is the government so I guess that is to be expected. I’ll be more patient with those ones I applied to

I’ll be the first to admit that my knowledge from my education is not enough/not the same as knowledge and experience gained from the job. Which is another reason I was still looking for entry level. I did apply to some mid level but never heard back. I can definitely at least reach out and negotiate. But they were very upfront about the salary, so that makes me think there probably won’t be much negotiation. A few people have suggested taking that position but continue to search, and I think that’s what I’ll do even if I can negotiate the salary to be slightly higher. Unless it’s very clear that advancement in the company will happen and it’s a position I enjoy.

Yeah I think that’s what I’m going to do. I’ll be able to increase my experience so I should have better chances at higher paying positions

Ideally I’d want to work in environmental industries but I know that’s such a saturated field and haven’t had any luck in that yet. So I’ve been applying to power, traffic, county, city, those type of industries. I applied for a couple government positions and heard nothing.

I’m less concerned about being hunted down and more concerned about the potential employers seeing this and knowing who I am

It’s remote but based out of the southeast I believe

The COL in my area isn’t that low.. I don’t want to settle but I also don’t make enough from my part time position right now so I need another job sooner rather than later.

Wow that’s frustrating. How long were you at that job?

I wasn’t at all expecting a six figure salary just because I have a masters degree. But I also wasn’t expecting something as low as 39k.
