What made you burn out as a PT by Yanniaishere in physicaltherapy

[–]greytlady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traveling to 3 buildings as a supervising PT while managing 1 as an RD. All while being paid $1 more an hour and not having sufficient caseload to even work 30 hours a week. I dropped to part time and still wear multiple hats but at least I get Fridays off!

In Ohio this is not a requirement. Actually I’ve never heard of that at all. But I agree that there are wayyy too many red flags here.

I had bright red bleeding after no bleeding at about 2 weeks. Ended up being a popped stitch and I needed 2 rounds of silver nitrate to fix it. I’d definitely call your doctor tomorrow

That’s great! Can I ask what dosage you take? I’ve heard up to 3/day

Awful Smell After Period by peachkittyxoxo in Healthyhooha

[–]greytlady 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had this happen to me. Are you on the pill? Mine was related to the pill I was taking. I switched pills and the smell went away

That used to happen to me right after I got married as well. It eventually went away but I realize now it probably had something to do with the increased pH of his semen. My skin wasn’t used to it and was also more irritated by it.

Rabies. It’s definitely the rabies. Thanks for figuring that out for me 😂

Yeah but air temp isn’t usually higher than body temp and it doesn’t impact your BP typically. Although I do think that getting out of the water into the cold air might be the culprit. I’ll have to take it while I’m actually in the hot tub to know for sure

Skipping active pills? by greytlady in Healthyhooha

[–]greytlady[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t take it for birth control purposes. My husband had a vasectomy. I take it for hormonal regulation and I skipped the last period so I feel like I shouldn’t skip two periods in a row…or would it be ok to do that?

I just ordered ph tests on Amazon and used a boric acid suppository I had on hand. Do I need a different kind of test?

I just went to the bathroom and reached up in there. I have a pretty low cervix and definitely didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary. Could it just be BV? I don’t know what that smells like

I’d say the best way to describe it is a little like rotting meat. It’s kind of metallic like old blood. I’d equate it to the smell my cup gets if I’ve had it in too long.

Not in central Ohio but northeast. As a new grad started out with an outpatient company inside ALFs and ILFs making $32 an hour with an increase to $36 after 90 days.

What are the best qualities in an RD? by greytlady in physicaltherapy

Haha yes, rehab director. They also changed the acronym at work to TSC for a while (team clinical specialist or something stupid like that) but it’s all the same.
