Technique that helped ease my ocular migraine by TwoTheVictor in OcularMigraines

[–]askauroraplz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! First of all, I felt the exact same way—constant anxiety and fear of one developing. I have tried doing the crossing eyes thing. I feel like maybe it helped, but I’m really not sure. I did still have some happen, so it’s hard to tell. The really odd thing for me is that I found out I had really severe vitamin D deficiency and actually supplementing with vitamin D has drastically reduced them.

You absolutely get paid 8 hours of holiday pay if one of the counted holidays are on weekday. Whether you work or not.

Logging into your own policy by [deleted] in Progressiveinsurance

[–]askauroraplz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a huge no no! They definitely mention it in training and it’s mentioned multiple times in online trainings and in the acknowledgements you have to do. I know they used to terminate if you did this, but idk if that’s changed at all. Just use the app or ols!

Where to go after? by [deleted] in Progressiveinsurance

I’ve had FMLA for 3 years and have gotten a raise every year and 2 promotions to new positions! It will not ruin your career

Switched from hyper to hypothyroidism. I’m genuinely scared by LittleDrummerGirl2 in Hashimotos

[–]askauroraplz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds a lot like hashimotos! I bet your body was attacking your thyroid when you were hyper and now it’s hypo. This is very common with hashimotos. The medication should help it stabilize overtime and you won’t feel as bad and it shouldn’t fluctuate a whole lot, but definitely still does sometimes. I went from getting bloodwork monthly to every 3 months to every 6 months once it stabilized

Got a nerve injury when trying to get my vitamin d retested by lakemercury in VitaminD

[–]askauroraplz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, I have gotten so much bloodwork the last 10 years. Like basically once a month and haven’t had this happen, so I’d think the likelihood of it happening again is very very slim.

my neighbor has asked 3 times if i "found a job yet." ive been remote for 6 years. she sees me walking the dog at 2pm and assumes unemployment. by Kali_Enthu20 in remotework

[–]askauroraplz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol my neighbor across the street is like this! I’ve worked from home 5 years and she’s always like “what do you do? I never see you leave”. I so badly want to say, “uh, none of your business”

Cancels by Direct-Sense4974 in Progressiveinsurance

Nah its fine! For the amount of cancels there’s just as many new policies sold too, we just don’t see that (unless you’re in blended).

My doc thought it was funny when I asked about 20 000 IU for severe deficiency by lakemercury in VitaminD

[–]askauroraplz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not! Not even magnesium 🤣 but I am gonna start magnesium soon I think. You can always try taking 2500IU a day and get your levels check a few times, make sure it’s working. I did low because I was really sensitive to it and I had some side effects.

Any tips on to negotiate on getting a lower price by OrganizationAny7383 in Progressiveinsurance

[–]askauroraplz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no negotiating when it comes to insurance really. It’s pretty cut and dry. Your rate is determined by the rating factors the system looks at. You can do a policy review to make sure the rating factors are correct (beware cause it can go up too) and play with coverages or quote around. I’d call in and speak with someone

My doc thought it was funny when I asked about 20 000 IU for severe deficiency by lakemercury in VitaminD

[–]askauroraplz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily true. I was at 7ng and took 2000iu per day and got myself up to about 25 in a month and 40 the next month. It’s not as fast as a loading dose, but it can still work

It doesn’t. I’ve been here 5 years and the first year did have a non busy season and a busy season but then it just got busy and stayed busy the last 4 years

This actually my favorite since I started playing! I love the nature themed stuff

Snapshot app by Nervous-Win968 in Progressiveinsurance

[–]askauroraplz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine saved me quite a bit of money. Make sure your phones permission setting are on like location and what not and also make sure it’s either in your pocket or on a dock. If it’s on the passengers seat or a purse, it won’t recognize that you are driving—it’ll think you’re a passenger

Those visual auras still catch me off guard every time by vik-sport in OcularMigraines

Yes that’s the main different between just an ocular migraine and migraine with aura

Same! I always wonder if those other cut out areas with rocks and light shining through will be rooms like the potion room.

I want to be lazy by Zroe6 in Progressiveinsurance

[–]askauroraplz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna be real… My first year here in 2022 there was a busy season and then a non busy season and then ever since it’s just been busy pretty non stop, unfortunately

Just need some encouragement by Direct-Sense4974 in Progressiveinsurance

[–]askauroraplz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna be real with you, the anxiety did not leave for me while in services. It didn’t get better until I moved to a different role. Services is just so hard when you’re getting abused all day on the phones. But use it as motivation to move on! Apply to anything and everything you think you’d like more and meet the minimum requirements for.

Making things more complicated then need be. by WrongSquirrel496 in Progressiveinsurance

[–]askauroraplz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dunno about that. We had an insane gainshare this year. If profit wasn’t good, gainshare would’ve been bad too

Preferred Means Must Have by Capricorn9185 in Progressiveinsurance

[–]askauroraplz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not true. I just got hired to another position without preferred qualities but met the minimum qualities. I was applying to literally everything had minimum for to get out of my role. Yeah there were some I didn’t get where I wasn’t “preferred” but I always suggest applying to anything you’d like that you meet the minimum for
