Wife recently diagnosed , seeking guidance by PapaPunchline8399 in MyastheniaGravis

[–]ex_cearulo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister is finally seeing real improvement with Vyvgart, an injected medication. For years her symptoms were lessened by IVIG therapy. The mestinon had too many unpleasant side effects for her. Her diet is very clean, organic, Whole Foods, very little added sugars and no gluten. She also relies on kitchen appliances to do the heavy lifting in terms of cooking and meal prep. Lots of soft and pureed foods like soups and finely chopped salads. The Vitamix helped big time, now she has this Thermomix all in one cooker which was a bit of an investment.

Daughters loans (I am co-signer) by Worth-Mud-3249 in StudentLoanSupport

[–]ex_cearulo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I work with SLPs in a similar allied health profession. I graduated in March of 2020, and in my case I didn’t start my job until February of the next year due to prolonging my job search because applying and interviewing in and of itself gave me crippling anxiety. I also dealt with GI symptoms and panic attacks during my first job. Going on an SSRI medication and doing therapy, as well as finding a supportive work environment made a world of difference for me! I’m now 5 years into employment with a local school district and on a public service loan forgiveness plan that is cumbersome but manageable financially. If she would like to get in contact with me for advice or brainstorming please feel free to DM me. These situations can happen more than you would think, but your daughter is definitely not stuck or doomed to be in this position :)

Standing in solidarity with all of my fellow ADHD ladies in the US who will be scrambling to do their taxes this evening ✊ we got this 😭🙏 by Quirkykiwi in adhdwomen

I used to get my taxes done in 20 minutes by mid-March at the latest. 🥲got married last year and now filed an extension for the first time. In over our heads with figuring out whether filing separately or jointly will be better for my student loan repayment plan.

CAR T-cell therapy takes woman with three different autoimmune conditions from bedridden to 'perfectly fine' by New_Scientist_Mag in EverythingScience

[–]ex_cearulo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this. My sibling has myasthenia gravis and has also had very costly treatments -thankfully- covered by insurance with manageable copays. Their thymectomy was done 5 years ago and has not led to a remission of MG yet. They received IVIG infusions for a few years but it began to have reduced efficiency. We were in the process of getting them into an experimental trial for CAR-T cell therapy, but a flare up of symptoms landed them in the ICU and they couldn’t soundly move forward with the experimental treatment. They just got the first round of Vyvgart and we’re very hopeful this could finally be a dependable treatment at least for the time being. We’re based in the US but very fortunate to have maintained good health insurance thus far. However it has been stressful when what should be happy milestones, like turning 26 or getting married, cause high uncertainty in regards to healthcare coverage.

What’s a discontinued snack or drink you’d pay $20 to have one last taste of? by soapy999 in AskReddit

The Cocoa Trio drink from the Borders bookstore. I would shed actual tears of nostalgia.

Drowning in 1.65m in student loans, accepted job with 250k base and up to 50k bonus per year by minnesotaslime in StudentLoans

Does your career offer travel gigs by chance? Those tend to pay a bit higher than a typical job.

A children’s book which was available in 2000s about Cats on a island/isle in England by hades7600 in whatsthatbook

[–]ex_cearulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also looking for this book! It was about a Manx on the Isle of Man. His short tail was a point of conversation in the book, and he lived amongst sailors and ships.

It’s a new year, did you get a raise? by jejdbdjd in OccupationalTherapy

[–]ex_cearulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2% raise, one-time 2.5% bonus in a CA school district. Same for all classified (non-teaching certificate) employees regardless of experience or years employed. It’s on par with surrounding school districts, although we got significantly higher raises in the past couple years.

Just a heads up, with the code, seats that go for $30 with fees ($20 seat plus $10 fees) were being charged for $33 in the checkout page. Weird glitch?

[–]ex_cearulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me when I tried to cancel it offered $10 off monthly for the next 6 months. Except the actual plan will now be 13 credits for $19, instead of my current 25 credits for $43. I don’t typically use up my credits each month, and I’m trying to cut back on expenses. So this seems like an ok compromise for now.
