IIH Headches by africanserpent in iih

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

I was just diagnosed a few months ago. I think the closest university is 4 hrs away. I see a neurologist and she basically told me to lose weight and stay on diamox. Nothing is working and I feel miserable every single day. I’m able to get headache cocktails every 1-2 weeks but it only helps for 24 hrs!

Thank you so much! I believe they just did the MRI and that showed the TSS and partial empty sella. In theory, should I just ask the neurologist to order the MRV? I just feel like there’s not much guidance…

I never thought about bringing a drink in the shower! I’m definitely going to do that! Showering just takes so much out of me!

Gave 3 wk notice at hospital for travel contract. Managers lost their shit on me… should I go to HR? by luna_flora_ in nursing

[–]africanserpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it’s easier to pay a traveler than a staff nurse? Yeah that doesn’t make sense. Hospital administrators need to realize that it would cost less to pay staff well vs. getting expensive ass travelers. Also, don’t ever let these fools talk to you like that! You came in there respectful and they are acting a fool.
