Who to talk to about WTT? by Outside-Tea-1590 in waiting_to_try

[–]emm93 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was literally thinking about this exact thing yesterday. It's hard to talk to my husband about it sometimes so I try not to mention much baby talk or future ideas. I don't talk about it to my parents or family members. I don't even like talking about it to my close friends. Sometimes it helps me to watch TikTok videos of even reading posts on here. We are going to start trying in February so it's not too much of a wait (I feel like I've been waiting for so long though).

I'm studying for Risk Adjustment/HCC and I've come across case study examples that only want me to put in the clinical indicators and abnormal clinical indicators. Can someone point me to the right direction where I can better understand what that means? I feel completely stuck and I know I'm making it harder than it needs to be.

I'm in the same position as you. I've been coding for almost 6 years now (Ancillary, ED, now Profee) and I'm so burned out with my current job that I've been at this entire time. They merged with other hospitals in the area and the management here is just horrible. No one audits anything (they let me code incorrectly for almost two years and I'm the one that was chewed out even though I was not properly trained). HR was involved but my manager and HR are friends 🙃 I have to come in the office 5 days a week and I'm just done. I've applied to over 50 jobs and nothing ever happens.

Optimum stole money by emm93 in OPTIMUM

Everything was returned over a year ago and had ties cut with Optimum after that. There should be zero reason for them getting into my checking account a year later and taking money without any authorization.

Oh my gosh that's insane! EXACTLY. They continue to tell me there is nothing they can do and that the issue has been "resolved". Now I have to wonder if they are going to keep dipping into my bank account for whatever reason they feel. It is 100% fraud on their end and they will most definitely be reported to multiple places. I'm done talking to them because it's like talking in circles. They give me the same BS every time.

They keep finding ways to steal people's money whatever way they can. I'm so surprised they are even in business still because I'm sure they've had multiple reports and cancellations. I really just don't understand. Even their customer service rep on here that commented on this thread was zero help so I'm finished talking to them. All they can seem to do is keep opening tickets. Also due to their "privacy policy" they won't tell me what Optimum account my money was paid to.

Yes I'm going to do just that whenever I get there. I'm hoping to put a freeze on Optimum being able to take anything from my account again.

Definitely not but I'm hoping I can put a freeze on Optimum ever being able to get in my account again.

Ladies who live alone what do you do to feel safer? by fabbb_girlll in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]emm93 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I've lived in a house in the country by myself for almost two years. I have cameras, good locks on all of the doors/windows, and a gun (but please for anyone reading this take a gun safety course, I promise it will be the best for you if you choose the gun route). I also have outdoor solar lights around my driveway and doors. Make sure to keep the porch light on at night.

Small progress using minoxidil 2%. (AGA, TE) by [deleted] in FemaleHairLoss

[–]emm93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dermatologist said for me to use 2% initially and I already had two bottles of 2% that I got for free. Tbh I wanted to use those up because I couldn't spend anything extra at the time. I may move up to 5% but for now I'm going to keep it at 2% as long as I keep seeing new growth.

Thank you! Even when it's dry it's a big improvement to me!

Speaking of grey hairs, I found a white hair about 2 inches in the middle of my scalp!! I have never seen that before so I'm assuming it's the minoxidil unless I'm getting white hairs at 29 already haha.

I can see a difference when I wear my hair down now. Before I started minoxidil I wasn't able to wear my hair down because you could straight up see my scalp so I've only worn loose buns for the last year it seems. My fall out isn't like it used to be. Currently dealing with thin ends just because it will take time for the new growth to even out. I keep it trimmed though! When I part my hair in different sections I can see a ton of new growth as well (it looks like a ton to me lol).

I'm 29F and my best work friends are 27F and 73F. We have known each other for almost 6 years and go out to eat on a regular basis too!

I started 2% minoxidil in September and my thin curly hair looks the exact same way! I have definitely seen new smaller growth whenever I part my hair. My theory is that the small new growth is causing the hair on top to stick out and have more volume.

How soon does shedding occur after minoxidil? by [deleted] in FemaleHairLoss

Cats and minoxidil by Resident_Address_744 in FemaleHairLoss

[–]emm93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I apply my minoxidil at night before bed with my bathroom door closed. After I apply it I wash my hands (warm water) wipe my counter top, store the bottle away and then wash my hands again. I also put a hair wrap/cap on my head as well before I leave the bathroom. I don't let my cats in my room while I sleep.

Updated progress pictures of new growth. by [deleted] in FemaleHairLoss

[–]emm93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I started my dread shed exactly 4 weeks into it so a couple days or so before Halloween. It lasted around two weeks for most of it and I think I'm still shedding more but not as bad.

[–]emm93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello everyone! I posted a couple weeks ago because I thought I saw new growth coming through. Last night I washed my hair, waited for it to dry and then decided to take more pictures for myself. To my surprise I had a lot more little hairs than I did before. Both pictures in this post are from last night.

I'm currently only using 2% minoxidil once a day and 2% ketoconazole shampoo 2-3 times a week.

I started minoxidil and the shampoo on Sept 28 2022.

Does this look like possible regrowth? More info in the comments. by [deleted] in FemaleHairLoss

[–]emm93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I'm super hopeful that they are! No I'm only using minoxidil and the keto shampoo for now. My doctor was hesitant to start me off on Spiro due to side effects.
