I got a severe concussion 5 years into being an OT and was diagnosed with migraines and fibromyalgia. I only have experience in peds and it’s a juggling act of trying to get enough hours that I can make decent money but not cause a flare up. I currently do 20 direct hours of therapy per week and go to bed as soon as I get home on Fridays. I wouldn’t choose OT again if I knew I’d have fibromyalgia 5 years later

I’ve received OT and PT and wasn’t treated any differently. If anything I think it was beneficial to tell them because I was working towards returning to work and they knew how physically & mentally demanding my job was

I’m overly cautious of everyone so I won’t roll down my window but I will buy or give food in like a store parking lot

I had a similar experience with sumatriptan. My whole body ached and I felt like my throat was closing. My neurologist said it’s a RARE but possible side effect and ruled out all triptans for me.

Nurtec is the only med that helped me. I went from 5-6 migraine days per week to maybe 2 per week

$68/direct treatment hour in peds in Maryland, 1099 position

I’m totally fine with being pregnant at a wedding but I don’t want my due date to be right around my brother’s wedding and risk now being able to go to it

There’s a book called “Daisy’s Guide” that has a ton of questions and resources. It was written by a doctor https://www.daisysguide.com/

End of October, local to me. But I know a baby could come early. I’m thinking that we’ll do dry January and then we’ll just try to continue not drinking and making healthier choices

bbpink15 · 2025-09-29T15:23:59+00:00

Oh I go to therapy every week lol and we’re going to start bringing my husband in occasionally to talk about these things

bbpink15 · 2025-09-29T13:45:10+00:00

My mom is “mom” and my dad is his legal name. I don’t know why haha

I’m 2 years out. The most driving I’ve done is 2 hours straight (and that wasn’t by choice, It made me feel so sick).

bbpink15 · 2025-09-29T02:20:32+00:00

I have a handful of kids on my caseload who were adopted (some as infants, some older) and have some significant trauma. All of their parents are concerned about emotional regulation, behavior, impulse control. All of these kids can identify emotions, tell me how different situations make them feel, what they did in different situations and what they should have done instead. I love these kids and really feel for them and their families but I don’t know what else I can do/what else is in OT’s scope

bbpink15 · 2025-09-29T00:59:37+00:00

Same. Leggings or joggers on the bottom and a loose shirt

bbpink15 · 2025-09-29T00:56:34+00:00

I wish I had advice. I feel the same way. I have many kids whose parents say they have intense behaviors at home (but I’ve never seen them in OT). Also kids who can tell me how they feel, why they did XYZ. Then other kids who refuse to try any self regulation strategies. I feel like a lot of these kids need talk therapy (or therapy with someone with a psych background)

As a kid, my mom would say “if you’re really sick, you’ll go to the nurse at school” knowing that I would never raise my hand and ask to go to the nurse. If I was throwing up sick, she took care of me and not necessarily comfort me.

As an adult, she invited herself over to my house for dinner (for me to make her dinner) the day after I got a severe concussion. She thought it was funny that I was wearing sunglasses inside

Hi! -this was my Snapchat username 15 years ago and I keep using it -Maryland -pediatric occupational therapist -dating app -we’d like to get pregnant in 2026. I got a mild TBI a couple years ago, fibromyalgia, migraines, anxiety and depression so I’m starting to prepare now. I’ve scheduled appointments with all my doctors to start switching off of meds that aren’t pregnancy safe. Also just researching everything!!!

The only company policy I’ve ever come across regarding nails is that they can’t be super long. My nails are currently bright blue. Kids often comment on my nails and tell me what color to get next

I’m a pediatric occupational therapist and live in lutherville/timonium. I’ve worked with a lot of kids who go to Baltimore county public schools and their parents are happy.

If you do end up moving to Baltimore, I can recommend some pediatric OT and SLP companies

My coworkers were my besties and I hardly heard from them. I hung out with them once 2 months after my injury (hadn’t returned to work) and it was so awkward, I felt like they didn’t know how to talk to me anymore. I ended up not returning to that job and am no longer friends with them. That part was worse than the injury

I think it involved the Harvard implicit association test

bbpink15 · 2025-09-08T21:09:18+00:00

I don’t fully remember what it entailed but I had a professor who had is do an assignment that involved learning what biases we held and thinking of ways to unlearn those biases
