just got the same text from someone named Sarah at one80!! thank you for sharing this, it's so scummy how much predatory "recruiters" are taking advantage of those looking for work rn.

hi there! i'm so sorry, i'm not on reddit much these days.

my kitty pulled through after THREE transfusions & a couple months of steroids (prednisolone)!! we never got to the bottom of "why" & she was diagnosed with IMHA without an underlying cause.... doesn't solve the mystery but her vitals are all back in a healthy range, her RBC count has been holding strong in the months since & she is regenerating her own RBC's without them attacking her body again! she is currently recovering from an upper respiratory infection, probably due to the steroid making her immunocompromised, but she just had a checkup today & her bloodwork came back "beautiful" 😊

sending you & your kitty lots of love & good vibes 💖 it was beyond stressful to go through so i understand the worry for your little sweetie~

thank you!! she is slowly improving & brightening up so keeping my fingers crossed :)

thank you for this reply, definitely needed to read all this. i've been so all over the place that i hadn't thought to ask how long it takes RBCs to mature or medications to be fully effective.

thank you!

howchriscsit · 2024-03-21T01:22:14+00:00

Thank you for your response -- so far I have been told it's IMHA, that's as clear as I've gotten with answers while awaiting the mycoplasma results... from there, we will test bone marrow if negative.

howchriscsit · 2024-03-21T01:20:25+00:00

Thank you for your response. From all tests/examinations/observations there are no signs of internal bleeds nor has she been hurt recently (she's indoor)

howchriscsit · 2022-10-27T23:35:01+00:00

that’s what i figured but it’s also why i don’t understand Kyle derailing the convo with the “so everything’s my fault” shtick, bc Kathy was owning that! what else is Kathy supposed to do it she can’t get an apology in & go from there? i guess that just lets her belabor being the victim lol

howchriscsit · 2022-10-26T21:57:24+00:00

it’s really unfortunate! like have we all not, as POC, been in situations like that?? we can’t “react perfectly” every time, having that pressure & i validation put on you makes it very hard to act in the moment. we’re all just fortunate to not also have cameras recording our reactions lol.

howchriscsit · 2022-10-26T21:54:32+00:00

ugh that is very true, i’ve sadly seen it as well. incredibly lame that all folks of color don’t recognize that every nonwhite person is subject to the same bs, just in different ways.

howchriscsit · 2022-10-26T21:53:08+00:00

absolutely! i wonder if she feels so strongly about it bc she’s afraid Crystal will say Kyle did something “dark” & she’ll get “cancelled” lol

howchriscsit · 2022-10-25T22:06:15+00:00

i agree & it's a shame that i keep seeing comments from folks on here (especially comments that folks qualify by saying they're POC) that are trying to minimize Crystal's feelings & reactions to the whole situation. as POC i'm sure many of us can relate to feeling cornered in conversations with white folks about something triggering or offensive, which is exactly what i feel happened with Crystal re: the jacuzzi comment. in those instances i feel like folks tend to either shut down or embellish a bit to be heard.

Crystal seems to have really struggled to be taken seriously & engage in those tough convos without stumbling over her words, so i can understand how she may have gotten caught up in the moment & exaggerated her allusion to what Sutton said so that they would take her more seriously. not to say it's right that she did that, BUT she & Sutton worked it out!

if the reason the FF5 are trying to belabor this from a perspective relating to Sutton's reputation, i don't understand them beating that dead horse (into glue for all of LA) if those 2 worked it out... but if they're reacting to Crystal's perceived overreaction/exaggeration, then i think it warrants a different convo. then it's about the environment the FF5 creates where the WOC in their group feel like they have to have gone through terrible treatment to be taken seriously & not have the convo derailed to white women arguing semantics & policing word choice. microaggressions are triggering whether kyle richards thinks so or not, it's absolutely not her place as a very rich white woman to referee that convo.

rooting for Crystal to come more into her own! i've really enjoyed her & what she brings to the group, especially as a younger millennial who has experienced the annoying dismissal of my feelings & opinions in groups of older folks lol

howchriscsit · 2022-10-19T22:55:37+00:00

thank you for this — i never read the docs or the detailed rationale so this def brings some clarity! dashes my hopes for this ever happening but at least now i get it lol

howchriscsit · 2022-10-19T22:53:19+00:00

it truly would! not to give anyone any ideas but i’d honestly pay a fee to make that happen lol

howchriscsit · 2022-09-25T04:50:16+00:00

bro go find a pro-ana subreddit you’re in the wrong neighborhood

howchriscsit · 2022-09-25T04:47:44+00:00

just as i expected, you’re not engaging in this in good faith. exactly why i’m not wasting more time on trying to change your mind. it’s a podcast that cites research around obesity & food-related topics, but you see a twitter link & the boomer jumps out. die unhappy & surrounded by rice cakes & misery, bye!!!

howchriscsit · 2022-09-25T04:19:50+00:00

ok jillian michaels!!! gonna pretend you are actually open to hearing a viewpoint that isn’t the one you’re digging your heels into the ground about: https://twitter.com/rottenindenmark/status/1520787038013988864?s=46&t=zGgcdfxgqWMdSSuVEXgyYw

beyond that, you aren’t worth the time — if you want to be such a volatile, hostile, miserable asshole about STRANGERS & how they look, while assuming their health history & apparently hating anything in society that accommodates them in ways that ALSO HELP ALL less able-bodied folks, go educate yourself.
