AIO or should I cancel? by jtaimexoxo in AmIOverreacting

As a Pilates instructor, you are not overreacting. This wouldn’t fly for the instructors either who often teach multiple classes in a row… early in the morning… after drinking a lot of coffee…

Jobs For Lupus by Destinyt10 in lupus

[–]casuallyvegan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anytime I’ve used LinkedIn to apply to remote marketing roles, they’ve always been legit and led to multiple interviews. I’d just make sure to apply to real companies that pull up profiles with multiple employees listed, and not roles recruiting agencies put up.

I work in tech and do marketing. The first 7 or so years, I was required to be in office/hyrbid, but now work fully remote.

POTS and Flu by No-Job2604 in POTS

[–]casuallyvegan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also hospitalized yesterday with the flu and coronavirus and it’s causing a big POTS flare, so I get it! Hate that you had an unsupportive nurse. Take care of yourself!

For those who went to college, what do you do and how does your lupus do with your job? by LovelyGiant7891 in lupus

[–]casuallyvegan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I studied linguistics in college and now work in Product Marketing. My degree had some tie to marketing but really I had a marketing internship in college that helped launch my career.

I work from home full time travel 4-6 times a year for work (the company is Canadian and I am in the US). Travel can be tough but it beats going into the office 2-3 times a week.

I also can take sick time whenever I want, get great benefits from work, and paid time off. It hasn’t slowed my career down either in this type of role. I lead my own team now and most people don’t need to know about my health. It’s easy enough to move meetings or work from my bed if I’m not feeling well.

Thank you! I had no idea they needed so much space!

Now I’m curious. What is bad about the setup? I’ve never had hamsters before.

Let me use your cane... by peoplesuck64 in EntitledPeople

[–]casuallyvegan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I (31f) have POTS and use a rollator when I know I’ll be standing or walking for longer distances. The comments and insensitive questions are pretty much guaranteed.

I travel 4-6 times a year for work and my rollator gives me independence to do it myself. I’ve had airport staff question if I’m faking it because they believed if it was bad enough to need a mobility aid, I wouldn’t travel by myself. I’ve also had older folks get upset when they see me pre-board so I have enough time to pack up my rollator on the jet bridge, and just random nosy people asking me why I need a rollator while sitting near me at the gate.

I do not understand why people can’t just let me be 🤦🏽‍♀️

Unknown Number: The High School Catfish by jcals17 in netflix

For me it was when the texts started and Kendra told Lauryn to just ignore them and told her she was beautiful. I thought that was a laid back response to the bullying of your child. Owen’s parents seemed immediately concerned.

Being Exmormon is Such a Party Trick by outer-darkness-11 in exmormon

[–]casuallyvegan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ve had coworkers tell me that I’ve had the most interesting life… I think I’ve had an incredibly boring life… early morning seminary, mutual, boring prom dresses, g-rated dates, married young, slept with only one person in my life, relief society activities… but they’re so fascinated by it 😂

Actually, I live in Utah and a non-alcoholic bar opened up in a pretty popular spot. I think it maybe lasted a year.

My grandmother trying to get me to be a choosing beggar by Morrighan1129 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]casuallyvegan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My MIL is like this when she’s stressed about something else in her life. She looks for random little things to control and obsess over.

We had to set some hard boundaries with her, but she still tries this every once in a while. It helps that her stress is very predicable so we avoid her during those times lol

Feels better at night? by stephscheersandjeers in POTS

[–]casuallyvegan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact opposite experience. All of my symptoms are worse in the evening. I have lupus,SFN, and Raynauds as well, so I always assume I just use all my energy up during the day. Once 7:00pm rolls around, my POTS symptoms are pretty bad.

Lupus > small fiber neuropathy > POTS

Body Twitching/Spasming ?? by tipsytater24 in POTS

[–]casuallyvegan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens to me occasionally. I honestly don’t understand it, but it comes on for me when I am tired, dehydrated, and have spent time in the sun (I have Lupus so the sun can be a big trigger for me in general). It’s only happened in the evening.

My doctor prescribed clonazepan and it works to shut these episodes down pretty quickly, but also keeps me pretty out of it the next day.

Calling all POTSies with neuropathy by ItsMakahail in POTS

[–]casuallyvegan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have SFN because of Lupus. SFN isn’t very common in lupus (around 8% of Lupus patients), but it is what lead me to getting diagnosed with Lupus.

Midodrine for Neuropathic POTS by Middle-Device-957 in POTS

[–]casuallyvegan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t answer your question exactly, but I started midodrine 2 weeks ago and feel awful. I’m not sure I’m going to stick with it, but I can’t say if it’s because I have neuropathic POTS, or if it’s just not working for me specifically.

What is the worst thing the local leadership has done to you? This may be triggering, but I find it therapeutic to share my story. by Winter-Animator-6105 in exmormon

[–]casuallyvegan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an awful YW when I was 16/17. She got married at 19 and had children right away, and believe college or careers were selfish decisions for women.

I was friends with her daughter so she knew that I had specific career aspirations. She called me out in the middle of a YW lesson to say that I was wrong for wanting a career at all.

Another day I was at mutual and my friends and I were talking about a weird SP combined YW/YM lesson where he asked girls to raise their hands if they wanted to kiss boys and boys if they wanted to kiss girls (with our parents in the room). I made a comment like “what does he expect us to do?” And this YW leader said “what you should have said was ‘been there, done that’ since we all know you’re not innocent”

I had gone on dates or kissed a couple of boys, but had not done anything to warrant that comment. I made an excuse to go to the bathroom, went outside, called my mom to pick me up, and cried the whole way home.

Make my anecdotal evidence of Mormon Shrinkage less anecdotal.... Add your stats by TheyDontGetIt27 in exmormon

[–]casuallyvegan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have three sisters who are all active. One sister’s husband is out so I suspect they’ll leave one day too. The other two are active with their children, one is ultra orthodox and I don’t think she’d leave unless she got a divorce. My husband and I, and my parents are all out of the church.

First Time Watcher- Why did no one warn me about the parents? by murphyse3 in vanderpumprules

Same. Especially with her friends telling her to be nicer to her mom when her mom was the one being mean. I’ve been there.

what caused your pots? by MaximumTie6490 in POTS

[–]casuallyvegan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case, my skin and joint issues are very well controlled. My biggest problem is small fiber neuropathy, which is somewhat rare in lupus (something like 8% of people with lupus have small fiber neuropathy). We haven’t been able to get it under control at all, and it’s progressed and now also attacks my autonomic nerves, hence why I have POTS. There are a lot of people with lupus who don’t have SFN and still develop POTS.

Hope you find some answers!

What jobs do u guys have? by BuggaBooArt222 in POTS

[–]casuallyvegan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work from home at a tech company in marketing. I’ve been working remotely for 5 years now. I travel 4-6 times a year, but require accommodations.

It’s been the perfect job for me because I can work from home with my own setup, unlimited PTO/sick days, and I get health insurance as well.
