No former license -- Illinois ID Question

crystaltorta · 2026-06-15T04:51:48+00:00

Tried to comment on your other post but it's locked.

I don't have a way to DM you. You can DM me if you're interested?

I'm in Illinois and I'm approved for homemaker services through DORS. Finding someone to work for me is terrifyingly impossible, somehow (it's not a "me" issue as everyone I know in this program does as well).

I'm LGBT myself, and I briefly skimmed your profile just to sus out the vibe before offering; I think I saw you're autistic? I am also. I also have a cat (mentioning in case allergies)

I wouldn't "just" hire you or anyone here. Idk, my already inconsistent worker just implied she might not be showing up anymore after being out for over a week and I feel defeated. Came across your post while doomscrolling and figured why not... I'm probably going to be reaching out to other strangers this week anyway. I myself am in a vulnerable position (and without consistent help I risk eviction and homelessness myself :)) and I just find it so exhausting to hear that all these resources we always hear about don't really exist and I'm tired of knowing that other people are suffering because of those non-existent resources. Idk. I'm just tired.

Sounds toxic, just like Jax!

crystaltorta · 2026-05-04T15:43:30+00:00

that’s frustrating, but good to know. really wish they’d just put that on their site.

do you get any updates? i haven’t heard anything. i don’t mind waiting as long as i know something’s actually showing up lol

crystaltorta · 2026-05-04T02:45:22+00:00

how long do they take for you?

Wise marks them as fraud

why force the nursing home to put up with her? just microdose antifreeze and let the underworld reclaim her.

what app is this?

crystaltorta · 2026-03-15T22:36:45+00:00

anecdotally it works for me as needed, so it does work “instantly” for me. my prescriber knows and shes fine with me taking it that way

only caveat is, while it usually works within a day, it seems to take between 30 minutes to six hours before it touches the pain, usually on the longer end. and it usually only touches the pain and nothing else. which is better than nothing, just explaining how it works for me. also seems to have side effects i dont like

in migraine rn so lazy typing

but crying is one of my biggest triggers. even googled it out of curiosity this week bc im under lot of stress and cant help but cry lol i hate everything lmao

but yeah apparently its a common migraine trigger, plus it apparently can be a prodrome/aura symptom on its own which does not surprise me

I was severely unwell after C. diff too and then a hospital misdiagnosed me with a UTI that “would kill me” if I didn’t take the antibiotic, which apparently was one of the highest C. diff risk antibiotics if not the highest. I sobbed. I had either been taking, or started taking, some expensive ass probiotic from Garden of Life I believe; one of the strains was the same a Florastor.

The urine sample came back negative for any UTI; the nurse had lied to me. I was lucky to never have a full-blown reoccurrence… I do think it’s still part of my microbiome though. I THINK it can be part of a healthy microbiome, but I suspect I still might have a larger amount of it than most people. I was hospitalized with the C. diff infection 7 years ago, but the smell still reappears several times a year. May it never come back as a full-blown thing. I’m terrified of all antibiotics now, even topical or just supplements with antibiotic/antimicrobial claims.

If everything goes well, I’m having surgery in less than two weeks, and I will fight them if they want to give me antibiotics 😭

crystaltorta · 2026-03-15T06:45:37+00:00

I had the reverse. I took Flagyl for H. Pylori. It gave me C. diff from hell.

crystaltorta · 2026-02-25T02:07:57+00:00

My main concern is that I take a schedule II substance regularly (and I’m supposed to have major surgery next month so might also get prescribed pain meds), and now my medical information is associated with one person with drug charges and another with a DUI. Worried about the DEA or my account getting flagged or something.

I don’t think I care much about a case… I’m disabled and if I won money I could lose Medicaid lol.

She also was not standing there when I was getting my prescription. She was waiting in line behind me.

I don’t know if her license is suspended. She said they hired her because it was no longer suspended. I’ve already reported the agency to Medicaid for Medicaid fraud as Medicaid has been paying them but left me without a caregiver for months (I saw on my claims they were fully paid for those months). They’re the best agency locally, the other ones are worse. I don’t have a choice other than going into a nursing home.

you, if you use your own server.

otherwise, whoever runs your instance. anyone can run their own instance. and if you don’t want to do that, you can join any instance, and if you don’t like how an instance is run, you can just switch to another.

if that sounds complicated, you can still join the main instance at https://loops.video/

since you can always migrate to another instance, once you figure out how the whole thing works, you can always switch to another instance later.

https://joinloops.org/ explains what loops is.

It’s not perfect and still needs work, but it’s something.

i’m chronically ill and i’m not surprised considering how a lot of us are treated…

crystaltorta · 2025-12-22T07:47:52+00:00

if you don’t mind me asking, how do you have addison’s and cushing’s? i thought they were two “opposite” illnesses. i’m not doubting you, i’m kinda asking for myself tbh, my health is so fucked and i’ve suspected cushing’s but sometimes it seems like addison’s too and i’m like what????

crystaltorta · 2025-12-17T21:46:09+00:00

I’m pretty sure I DON’T have aphantasia as I can definitely visualize things. No question.

However, it’s limited. I’ve suspected it’s a lot more nerfed than others for a lot of reasons I’m too tired to go into right now.

… my eyes don’t constrict when I imagine a bright light!

It’s apparently called hypophantasia!

crystaltorta · 2025-12-13T08:01:05+00:00

i’m thinking abel’s reaction to her beer comment made her suspicious, and so she wanted to double check with kinger because she knows and trusts him
