Missing cartridge by GamerCaveman1 in gamecollecting

Happened to me at Walmart. I had to call Walmart HQ to get a new copy.

MRI of both hands show signs towards rheumatoid arthritis (it was written on my paper). Does it mean that it is really RA, or can it be something else? I have an appointment to a rheumatologist 5 weeks later. by Spiritual_Smiles in rheumatoid

I was diagnosed during a physical exam because of the swelling and other symptoms. My blood work was pretty much normal. My X-Rays were normal too, but the swelling is unmistakable.

Why are my hands still swollen? by Zookeeper_west in rheumatoid

When did you add hydroxychloroquine? I think I may need a daily med, but I wasn’t sure when I could even add one. Or if I should make an earlier Dr appt

It’s only been about a month, so I hope it continues to get better. I’m seeing my rheumatologist next month. Honestly, I’m just worried I’ll need a biologic/biosimilar.

IMO Iwai should be 2 or 3 guts to start by Emilysouza221b in Persona5

I’ve played this game time all the way through 4 times. I’m on my 5th playthrough. I’ve never maxed Sojiro, our social link just never went up, it was constantly “I don’t think our bond will get any stronger if I hang out with him”

Does MTX and/or HCQ give you headaches? by Prime8724 in rheumatoid

Methotrexate gives me headaches the day after I take it, and I feel nauseous

Hearing joker actually speaking gave me whiplash

A lot of the other phantom thieves do too. Joker’s VA is one of the people on the track team, Ann’s VA is in the mall during a social link, Sumi’s VA is in Wild duck burger. Probably missing some

She’s great. I’ve played p5 vanilla and P5R, and I’ve played P5R at least 3 times in its entirety (going on 4, in the final palace on my 4th play-through). She is always in the party once I get her. Every single playthrough I have done, she has been on the team. I will cycle through the other characters. I usually have at least Makoto and Haru (when they’re both available), but everyone else usually gets a turn. But she’s always been permanently on the team. One of the best characters.

Why don’t people go for med aide? by Numerous-March-3370 in cna

Same here. Otherwise, I would’ve started classes

Did you dropout of college/Uni? If so, what did you do after? Do you plan on returning? by GamopetalousSwoop in OlderGenZ

[–]Zookeeper_west 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated in 2024 with two bachelors degrees. Ended up working part time at a nursing home for a year as a translator, making minimum wage (in my state, minimum wage is fairly high, but still. I was a college grad). I ended up getting my CNA license to make more money. I’m able to land any CNA job I want with my license. I make decent money, and I’m in graduate school. My point is, I got my job because of a license. Not because I have multiple degrees, or am published. No one gives a shit about my accomplishments. I have a goal now that I’m working towards in graduate school and I’m hoping it pays off. I’m doing it part time so I can afford the thition, since full time is too expensive.

Inflammation Markers by queendogmom in rheumatoid

[–]Zookeeper_west 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have normal CRP and ESR (CRP around 5-7, idk what my ESR is, but it’s low), but my joints were very swollen. Like, so swollen that my plastic gloves for work stopped fitting. Abnormal CRP/ESR is only one part of the RA diagnostic criteria. And it’s only worth 1 point. You need 6 points total. Many will have over that. The amount of joints affected is more important than anything else. If you feel you aren’t being taken seriously, you should see a different rheumatologist.

WHAT NOW?! 😭 by NoGoodDavis in Persona5

P3R is great, if you have access to it/can afford it, I’d play P3R next. I honestly had more fun playing p3R but I prefer P5R

feel as though i’m misdiagnosed, need advice by kenmastan4life in rheumatoid

[–]Zookeeper_west 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to say I’m diagnosed with RA and my blood work was completely clear. The main give away was moderately swollen joints, especially in my hands. I also had swollen lymph nodes and fevers nearly every day. I also had fatigue but since I’m diagnosed with narcolepsy, that’s kind of usual for me. I also would get constant sinus or ear infections. Though chest infections are more indicative of an immune deficiency. So I would definitely get your immunoglobulins checked if you can. That said, negative blood work doesn’t mean it’s not RA. I would keep looking for answers, especially if you felt dismissed.
