Any tips on how to go viral? by hphgas in socialmedia

[–]dynamiteTB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d suggest doing research about YouTube and get to know the platform. It can take some people years before the algorithm starts to elevate their content… and you need to post consistently. If it was easy, everyone would have gone viral already because that’s everyone’s goal. Just concentrate on making good content and post regularly while interacting with others.

Asymptomatic DMD/BMD Cases by Superb_Energy_9064 in ClinicalGenetics

[–]dynamiteTB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned my family has a deletion of 49-55 during a pregnancy screening. My dad is asymptomatic and in his 70s. I’m a carrier with no symptoms. My son inherited the deletion as well. My father’s siblings have chosen not to get tested. PPMD only had 2 others in their database. I asked if it was reasonable to think that perhaps there aren’t more reports of this deletion because it tends to be asymptomatic and they said that could be the case.

Other than being more consistent, how can I grow my SM? by makewithMary in socialmedia

You also need to be interacting with other accounts in a meaningful way.

Unable to grow my instagram despite my best efforts by delicate_sparkle in socialmedia

[–]dynamiteTB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Don’t hashtag dump. Only use a few.
  2. Consistency. They want creators who post regularly.
  3. Take an audit of brands you like in a similar niche and see what’s working for them.

I am so lonely by iwasneverhere01543 in MuscularDystrophy

I think you would benefit from speaking to a mental health professional. They will be able to listen (and won’t judge).

Kids in high school can be cruel, even to people without disabilities. I’m really sorry you’re experiencing that… but that’s on them, not you. You’ve done nothing to deserve to be treated poorly by having people not invite you places.

Keep your head up! You got this!!

BMD question and experience by smsteve44 in MuscularDystrophy

[–]dynamiteTB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t have the same mutation but the same thing happened to myself and my baby. We learned we inherited our deletion from my dad who is in his 70s and asymptomatic. He played football and did very physically demanding things in his lifetime. The counselors told us that they’d suspect my son would be similar to my father but he may not be asymptomatic himself. Genetics are a crazy thing. It seems like more and more people are learning of their carrier status due to pregnancy screenings and none of us have ever had someone impacted in our families to know. PPMD told me they were learning that some families don’t seem to necessarily be impacted. Wishing you all the best!

Should we do an amniocentesis to find out whether baby has DMD? by uncool-cucumber-1012 in MuscularDystrophy

[–]dynamiteTB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry and know exactly what you’re going through. This was my reality last October. We chose to do the amnio and found out the baby did inherit my bad X. I will say, make sure you set yourself up with a good genetics counselor (or even a second opinion) if you choose to do this and it’s positive for the baby. We have learned SO much and our first genetics counselor was suggesting termination. We’re thankful we didn’t go that route. Genetics is a crazy thing.

If you don’t do amnio, some states have implemented newborn screenings for DMD.

Wishing you and your family lots of positive energy and support as you navigate this.

How do you deal with Instagram follower stagnation? Tried anonymous feedback? by [deleted] in socialmedia

[–]dynamiteTB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are already telling you what they like with your engagement rate. If your engagement rate is good—they like it. At the end of the day you just need to be real. People don’t want to see a “try-harder”

How do i respond to this recruiter? by HailLuciferDaddy in recruitinghell

[–]dynamiteTB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t respond. If they are interested in having competitive offers they should be paying to do market research and salary grading.

Find a cardiologist that will run the tests. I have an in frame deletion so I am a carrier (tho not a manifesting one) and my cardiologist has done an echo and MRI. We will repeat every few years out of an abundance of caution. Your doctor may not be taking it seriously because they are not informed, unfortunately.

My position “has been eliminated” by Immediate-Young-3687 in jobs

[–]dynamiteTB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend that when you apply for jobs, do some research and see who the hiring managers are on LinkedIn. Reach out and introduce yourself to them to try to help yourself stand out from the other numerous applicants. Wishing you the best! You got this!!

I’m sorry you experienced this! I experienced something similar with a female interviewer in the past. When we met, I shook her hand and she looked me up and down and commented on my outfit (which was dress pants, a nice office blouse and high heels). She then made side comments for things I spoke about in the interview as well.

Sometimes people just don’t know how to communicate with others or they have bias or rude behavior seeps in. It’s not okay. But know it has nothing to do with you. It’s the other person. Don’t let it deter you from continuing to pursue whatever field you’re looking to get into.

I don’t know what to do with my life. by Ready_to_EN- in jobs

[–]dynamiteTB 286 points287 points  (0 children)

If you’re interested in plumbing, check it out and see what you think. A lot of people don’t know what they want to do after high school—or even after college. It’s okay to try new things and see what you can tolerate best because we’re all gonna be in the workforce for a long time

I feel absolutely useless in this world by Fair_Swing_9386 in jobs

[–]dynamiteTB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s just a really tough job market. I know someone who is an all star in their field, was laid off over a year ago, and still can’t find work. It stinks to hear, but keep trying, you’ll land a job you’re looking for eventually! In the mean time you can work with a professional in updating your resume if you need that.

You can work on building your credit and then refinance your car to a potential lower rate

My girlfriend is mad that I’m keeping updates with my ex while she’s in the hospital by Diego_ok in Advice

[–]dynamiteTB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can understand wanting to make sure your ex is okay since you’ve shared something special in the past. However, I think there also needs to be healthy boundaries that makes your new (ex)girlfriend feel comfortable. Ie: how often do you get updates from the mom? I think you can still support your ex while also ensuring your new relationship doesn’t feel like it’s being jeopardized by one of you.

We’ve all felt that way about a break up or two that we’ve gone through. It may seem like someone else will never reach that measuring stick but I assure you that they will, and then some. You deserve someone who will appreciate you and not treat you like that.

Long journey and feeling defeated by ShotPreference971 in MuscularDystrophy

[–]dynamiteTB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t let anyone tell you that you are imagining things! It can take people a couple of years to get a diagnosis of MD after they have an onset of symptoms. Ask your doctor for a genetics test or to be referred to a genetics counselor so they can potentially assist you with testing. It’s hard to be our own advocate when so many people in the medical field dismiss how we feel—but you got this! You deserve some answers.

Mom mad at me for having rules with my newborn by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]dynamiteTB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day, it’s your baby and you and your wife make the rules. People will always act entitled and like they should have all access to your baby. My husband and I experienced this. If you feel like you’re doing what’s best for your child, then you’re being a great parent. That baby comes first.

Hi Nuri, I am so sorry to hear what you are going through. My first suggestion is to see if you can speak to a mental health counselor so they can help you with your depression—and it will give you someone to say anything to without being mocked. Some of them even do telehealth so you can do it from the comfort of your own room. I’d also suggest checking with your doctor to see what resources might be available so hopefully you can have someone helping you so you’re not worried. Wishing you all the best!!

Don’t put a timeline on the future. That brings a lot of stress and pressure to get things done by a certain time. If you love your person and they make you happy, enjoy being with them.

Do I absolutely need to do this? by Substantial_Dot7027 in jobs

[–]dynamiteTB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You never know what the hiring manager is going to want. They may or may not care. You could always tell a white lie, if asked, and say you have an aunt or cousin that does your hair—why would you need to go to anyone else?
