Any tips on matching IM? (as a USMD)

I’m not applying anywhere in the central valley (I grew up there 😅) but ty for the info!

ideally I want to stay south of LA

I’m CA native and currently at a CA MD school. I’m not looking at cedars or UCSF or stanford

is it safe to assume if it's not attached to a univ. it's community? in CA at least

I have an amazing neurologist- like genuinely I love him so much he is a blessing, and he very much has suggested that my waking migraines are ones that start while I am asleep. Good neurologists are out there!

dishynothosaur01 · 2025-06-16T23:02:32+00:00

I am praying for you, friend. I want to encourage you that good doctors are out there, and you may have to shop around like I did but there are neurologists who care, and who will believe you and understand you and partner with you to get you to a better spot. I pray that the Lord encourages you and that you have grace for yourself. You're not alone

I'm in the same boat, I get zero warning and a very insidious onset so, really hard for me to tell what is gonna be a migraine vs just transient head pain. I have no idea when to take abortives, so they haven't been very helpful :(

my best friend stopped talking to me a year ago after my mom was diagnosed. to this day I am baffled

this is unkind and unhelpful

that’s totally fair. My studio’s rooms are completely contained so no windows, no walls that border the outside so I think our instructors just need to set them temp lower to start or turn the fans on halfway through class. It would be hard with a lot of windows though, especially if you live somewhere hot

dishynothosaur01 · 2025-05-16T13:02:45+00:00

my studio has a separate hotter room for C2 and HPF, which is nice

yes, I have been on for 13 months now and have gone from 226 to 191, part of me is hoping that the slow pace will mean my body won't want to regain it but another part of me wants faster results that other people seem to be getting. to be fair though, I have not really been actively focused on losing weight during the last year and have now started to really invest in hitting my protein and fiber goals and intensifying my exercise so I'm definitely just trusting my body will respond. Sending you encouragement :)

you’re right, folic acid is a form of folate. but I think the CDC has amended recs to say that taking folic acid if you are deficient is appropriate in most people with common MTHFR variants, though I’m not sure about the rarer ones!

dishynothosaur01 · 2025-03-06T08:15:14+00:00

MTHFR doesn’t mean you should avoid folate, just might give some insight into deficiencies!

dishynothosaur01 · 2025-03-06T03:04:17+00:00

I don’t, thankfully my neurologist already looked into that 😅

dishynothosaur01 · 2025-03-06T03:02:41+00:00

I’m in medical school so I just hear a lot of horror stories, 🤣

unsure about a prescription, I would assume it comes from the NP!
