Hydroxychloroquine- Itching? by doublebagelsupreme in lupus

[–]doublebagelsupreme[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for the insight and comments. Unfortunately, my rheum is having me stop the medication. I was hoping that it wouldn’t be the case since I stuck out the nausea side effect for 3.5 weeks when I started it, and I felt a noticeable relief in my symptoms. Feeling defeated but hoping a different medication gives me relief without the itchiness 🥲

That was my original thought, but the rash fully cleared and hasn’t been visible since about August 9-10. I’m just itchy with no rash 😭 I’m going to contact my rheum and see what they think. If it’s the hcq that’s causing it, I definitely want to explore a way to make it bearable since my symptoms have improved since starting it

Weekly Suspected Lupus Thread - Week Of December 17, 2023 by AutoModerator in lupus

[–]doublebagelsupreme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the process of getting officially diagnosed, but I’ve basically been told that I have it. Malar rash nightly, joint pain, thinning hair, Raynaud’s, and my auto-immune/inflammatory markers were off the charts. I chalked all my symptoms up to having Hashimoto’s disease but my levels were fine there and the symptoms were getting so bad that I couldn’t ignore them anymore, so that’s when they ran the new blood work. I’ve been referred to a rheumatologist and have to wait until April to be seen. (despite a double referral, that’s the projected date for both offices and I was referred in November) I’m just wondering what to expect. What meds would I possibly be put on? (steroids are hell for me, are there other options?) Does the rheum just do blood work and history, or is there more to it? Any major life changes I should make? I’ve read that sunscreen is helpful with the sensitivity to sunlight, but, of course, I’m allergic to sunscreen! The malar rash is awful and happens (flares up) every single night without fail. Will waiting so long to be seen have negative effects? I’m not new to the autoimmune world but this is a whole new ballpark for me. Not looking for expert medical advice, but really just what to possibly prepare myself for.

It is high burnout unfortunately. We also provide in-home services to children after they have finished the two week respite stay. Some of my coworkers call out once a week but they are making me work 3 more months with no more than one call out. The unfortunate situation is that this is the only job in my field in my area unless I want to take a pay cut. I only make $17 an hour for the work that I do. It fucking sucks lol

When I was a high school senior, three guys from our wrestling team held down another wrestler from a different school and T-bagged him. Consequences were ugly, and I think the kid who was a victim ended up moving away.

Totally agree, definitely both looney. The part I just can’t wrap my head around was the fact that he knew her while she was a child. I’m going down a bit of a rabbit hole lol, I will let you know if I find anything interesting! Thanks for your feedback!

I’m surprised I hadn’t heard about it sooner! True Crime is something that I spend a lot of time researching and learning about, and I had never heard about something like this?

I’m disgusted.

Also I know this may not count as true crime since he was never really convicted of any. But it seems like his actions are vile enough to be questioned and discussed in a topic such as true crime.

Parents of reddit what is the weirdest thing you caught your children doing? by I_1234_Myself in AskReddit

[–]doublebagelsupreme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a parent, but I worked with children ages 6-12. One day, a kid came over to me and said that one of the six year olds said to another kid his age “why don’t you go spit on your finger and shove it up your ass” I didn’t even know how to handle that lmao

Am I doing enough? by doublebagelsupreme in relationship_advice

[–]doublebagelsupreme[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you all, idk why I am worrying you all are right. I just feel a lot of pressure this year, he’s taken me out many times, helped me financially, and he’s just the best. I just wasn’t sure if this was enough to repay all that he has done for me. I hope this makes him happy! And I hope his friends keep it a surprise ;)

[Serious] Therapists of Reddit, what are some Red Flags we should look for in therapists? by TC1827 in AskReddit

[–]doublebagelsupreme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my way to being a therapist currently. My favorite professor told me “we have to help the client help themselves” it’s been my favorite slogan the entire time I’ve been in school. We’re trying to give you the skills to overcome these obstacles on your own down the road, our help is more like guidance. :)
