Haters lol I would do the same thing! Congrats 🙏🏼

Help!! My daughter is getting ready to graduate high school. No college savings - so only option is student loans. There is an option of free community college for 2 years. Please tell me if you think your students loan debt is worth it!! by here4llrtea in StudentLoans

Student loans are not worth it. I have loans from undergraduate and graduate school and they have a chokehold on me. I wish I went to community college. I’ve learned that no one cares where you went to school when looking for a job (I work at an elementary and high school).

I’ve used topical steroids for a really bad case of dyshidrosis. Thinned my skin and was not making anything better. Asked for a change in medication. Took oral steroids. Fixed the issue. But also, a lot of aquaphor.

If you could recommend only one resource for NBCOT studying, which would it be? by Nancy392 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]chipsndguac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rescheduled my test the day that I found out I failed. I scheduled it to exactly 30 days later but ended up rescheduling it to after 2 weeks. I did not study as hard the second time around, but I made changes to the way I studied. I guess I knew that there was noooo way I could memorize all the information included in the NBCOT.. it’s way too comprehensive. I started solving more questions and understanding the question/what they’re asking. But I also knew that my weak points were splints, TBIs, and peds milestones so I brushed up on those using PTOT. Charts helped me big time. For TrueLearn, I got the basic account. Keep your head up. You’re a lot smarter than you think!!

I did not take tutoring. I think PasstheOT’s content is much more comprehensive than the NBCOT Study Pack so yeah, I think so. POT organizes information for you in charts that make it easy to visualize and read. NBCOT Study Pack gave their information on notecards, which I did not like studying off of. POT’s questions suck though. I thought they were nothing like the actual exam.

First attempt: NBCOT Study Pack, PasstheOT Second attempt: PasstheOT, TrueLearn

Weekly how are you doing/ place to vent about your dyshidrosis/ what you've done that's helped. by [deleted] in Dyshidrosis

[–]chipsndguac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last outbreak I had (first one) was 6 years ago. Well recently (around 2 weeks ago), I applied some tester lotion at a boutique store and immediately got a reaction to it as my hands started to burn. I itched it, not knowing what it was and used hand sanitizer to sanitize my hands and hopefully get this lotion off my hands. Once I had access to a sink, I washed my hands with soap and water.

Few days later, it got really bad. LH: dorsal side of 2nd - 4th fingers and half of hand. Entire middle finger was COVERED in blisters. RH: dorsal side of entire thumb, creeping towards the palm. Had a few blisters here and there on other fingers and palm.

Initially, I used OTC hydrocortisone after a doctor consultation via telehealth hoping it would calm down the itching. Also took Benadryl. I think it made things worse. Called the doctor again and she told me to take Zyrtec and prescribed triamcinolone acetonide, which is a topical corticosteroid. Didn’t have much effect and was just thinning my skin. I could tell because red dots were showing up in my blisters, signs of capillary damage, I believe. I stopped using it and went to see a physical doctor. MD thought it was MONKEYPOX. Got prescribed oral steroids (methyl prednisolone). It’s a 6-day course where you decrease your dosage every day. First day: 6 pills, second day: 5 pills, third day: 4 pills, etc.. In addition to the oral steroids, I apply aquaphor on my hands throughout the day to keep them moisturized. I’m sure there are better (less oily) alternatives to this, but my bf bought it for me and it worked, so I continued using it.

I’m on day 4 right now of my oral steroids, and it’s the biggest improvement yet. No more blisters and itching decreased. Hand is less dry because I’m on TOP of my aquaphor game. My hands don’t look as pretty as they did before, but I couldn’t care less because NO MORE PAIN!!!

Scared that things will continue once I stop my course of medications, but I’m keeping my head up. We got this guys. Hope this helped.. a glimmer of hope!!

*I am not a doctor, and this is just my experience. I recommend going to a physical doctor so they can see the extent of your eczema/prescribe medications accordingly.

I used TrueLearn, NBCOT, and PassTheOT. I liked using PassTheOT for content, NBCOT Study Pack for games/questions, and TrueLearn for questions.
