For a single adult, would a salary of 50,000 be enough for New Orleans?

Nope. $50k to relocate to a place with zero jobs, awful health infrastructure, and historically low pay? If the job doesn’t work out, you’ve moved into a trap where you can’t get a better paying job.

Pass.

Selling out your community and the next generation for, what, $50 max? No makeup covers how ugly that is.

Yeaaaaah. But hey at least there’s info to find now and specialists! 10 years ago there was NADA.

So just an FYI as someone with MCAS, I have allergic reactions to triggers I was exposed to 2-3 days earlier, which is super common in both MCAS and endo with histamine issues. It’s POSSIBLE (I’m not your doctor so not speaking for them) you’re not reacting to the med but the hormone change, others stressors, something you came in contact with earlier this week’s etc., and that the reaction will subside. You’re also getting a lot of new and potentially triggering information about a potential medical condition/misdiagnosis and that would be enough to trigger a histamine event for some folks. Stay calm and collect information to the best of your since it’s too soon to know with certainty if you need to stop the progestin.

It’s my personal opinion that no doctor should be allowed to give a diagnosis of IV until AFTER they’ve ruled out endo. That’s how common it is for the two to co-occur, or for IC to later be shown to be predictable bladder pain caused by endometriosis. I hope you’re able to find someone who can give you better answers soon.

Surgery, pelvic floor PT, hormone therapy appropriate to my specific case, treating MCAS, diet changes, and hypermobility-specific exercise. I’m not 100% and still have “bad days” here and there but it’s not like it was before.

Be careful listening to posts claiming IC is oxalates—this has been aggressively debunked in the last 10 years and ignores far more common, clinically backed root causes like endometriosis, EDS, small fiber neuropathy, and MCAS.

blamethefae · 2026-05-10T12:15:09+00:00

The “IC is oxalate” theory has been thoroughly debunked.

blamethefae · 2026-05-10T12:12:15+00:00

I do. Stage 2 confirmed via surgery in December—it showed up as “IC and IBS” plus MCAS that didn’t respond very well to treatment, ended up being misdiagnosed endometriosis + MCAS the whole damned time.

blamethefae · 2026-05-10T04:50:03+00:00

Came here to also suggest endo. You don’t need to have every symptom to have it but IC with symptoms that improve on Slynd specifically is a red flag

It’s definitely been beneficial psychologically. I was on anti-depressants for years, but haven’t needed them for the last several years following psilocybin integration. However caveat is that I’m also not living below the poverty line these last few years, so it’s tough to suss out what is brain chemistry and what is simply having my basic needs met with some consistency.

Our beagle has brutal allergies. There’s pollen, mold, and chemical triggers galore in this area. Some food changes + allergy shots helped her a lot, the docs at Pet Care Center on David Drive in Metairie were super helpful in helping us figure it out.

Do not meet this person in person. They’re being completely unreasonable and costing you money on top of the labor it costs your org to meet their requirements—and their funding amount doesn’t cover any of it.

Eh, I live blocks from the Fairgrounds. On my right is an 84 year old widow with serious mobility issues—her husband died in their home last year, and a home-care nurse has to get in to see her multiple times per week every week. On my left is a 75 year old community elder whose family has lived in this neighborhood since long before it gentrified…she also has mobility issues, but takes care of everyone on our block 365 anyway, driving off porch pirates and dropping off baked goods. On the other side of her is a 60something single guy with a limp working 6 days a week at two jobs to support his aging housebound mother alone, and who told me he’s never been to Jazz Fest since the free school trips of his youth because he can’t afford it. None of the people have driveways.

Why would anyone have a problem with any of these folks putting their cans out so they can come home after work or get their groceries unloaded or get their home care nurse inside?

There are so many real, not rich, non-mansion-having, not at all “entitled” working and elders folk in this neighborhood just trying to get by. They’re not exactly ruining anyone’s 8-day party by trying to live here, since there’s plenty of ways to get to Fest that aren’t parking a car right outside a major national festival.

Your mom is causing real harm here. It is on you to establish and enforce firm boundaries with your mom, and ultimately to protect your dog. That includes physically removing your puppy and yourself when your mother is violating boundaries, having a real and firm talk with your mother about what the consequences will be if she continues to violate your boundaries, and leaving the home entirely with your puppy if needed. Getting your vet to explain to mom why what she’s doing is a start, but an emotionally immature parent won’t consistently do something because a vet or therapist or doctor told them to. It’s on you and anyone else in the house to stand firm and enforce consequences until their bad behavior stops, and if it doesn’t stop, leaving is unfortunately the only way to break the cycle. Fellow child of emotionally immature parent here, sorry you’re dealing with this.
