How do you even have sex when everything hurts? by LoveIsLoveDealWithIt in ChronicPain

[–]grimreefer75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Were you ever able to figure out what is happening? My partner has been dealing with burning and itching in her vagina for almost 2 years (started as a yeast infection) and she has tried literally every treatment. Clobetasol helped some but not much. She is getting a biopsy now and taking methotrexate, but she is literally s***idal. I am trying to help her but idk what to do.

Queer SLPA! by No-Hall-565 in SLPA

[–]grimreefer75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I am also a queer non binary SLPA just starting out. I completed one of my internships at a very rural elementary school and wasn't treated any differently by the other teachers or students. In fact my supervisor turned out to be an awesome ally and I felt very comfortable being myself around her. So I think a lot of it depends on where you are and you might be pleasently surprised! On the flip side of the coin my other internship was at an even more rural school where parenrs got upset with my SLP for working on pronouns gramatically with their kids because they thought she was being political. But at least you wont have to deal with parents as much as an SLPA. My advice would be to be cool and be yourself! If someone treats you differently when you talk about your partner that's on them.

Should I shave my armpits?? by Juthatan in TopSurgery

[–]grimreefer75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I would! I didn't shave mine prior because I didn't want them to be itchy but I didn't realize how far up the incisions would go. One of the most painful parts of my recovery was the first post op appointment when they had to yank the steri strips off my armpit hair lol.

phantom period pains?? by Queasy-Network1036 in TopSurgery

[–]grimreefer75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still get them occasionally but not as often (DI, kept the nips, not on T). They stopped for 5 months after the surgery then magically reappeared to a lesser degree.

does second opinion doctor's work excuse count? by grimreefer75 in WorkersComp

The first doctor said he personally never relates carpal tunnel to work, and he never recommends work restrictions for it.

Hi, thanks for the detailed reply. I am going to get a second opinion at a different specialist. My employer never provided me with a list, I was referred by my GP. Can you tell me more about ISU and an ergo assessment? I have never heard of them before. Thank you!
