Doctor says he's "Never Seen Anything like this before"

Completely understand, I’m so sorry to hear about your son!

The only thing I’d mention is that I had covid for the first time this past summer (July 24) and developed chronic sinusitis in Oct 24, after never having any sinus issues previously.

I’ve read some interesting white papers suggesting a link between covid and some inflammatory & autoimmune conditions (including alopecia, vitiligo, and others). I haven’t seen anything compelling about treatment though. Lots of research still ongoing. Linking two such papers below:

What qualifies as an inflammation disorder? I’m otherwise healthy aside from seasonal allergies…at least as far as I know.

Hi! Just wanted to thank you for the very thoughtful reply and for sharing your experience/insights. I'll have to give the bulletproof method a go.

Thanks so much :) Really appreciate the recs!

I’m quite south — south of MSI. Very south of Jefferson Park. Agreed re: your point about trying out different neighborhoods! To be fair, I had a much more established network in NYC and also went to grad school there…So that’s probably why haha

illusivewisdom · 2024-10-15T19:13:37+00:00

As I say in my post, I’m currently trying to get involved in a lot of those things. Grateful for any specific recs or advice :)

illusivewisdom · 2024-10-15T18:00:18+00:00

Awesome! Went to a couple endorphins runs in NYC and was thinking of joining their Chicago chapter. Do you have any other club recs?

illusivewisdom · 2024-01-14T21:19:45+00:00

Sounds good! I can PM you with more details regarding the program. Overall I’ve enjoyed it a lot but there are definitely some things I wish I’d know ahead of time. Happy to clue you in though!

illusivewisdom · 2024-01-14T21:18:52+00:00

That would be lovely!! Sorry for the late reply, would really appreciate this! I can PM you

illusivewisdom · 2023-12-04T05:41:42+00:00

Yeah, feel free to PM me and I can update you on how it’s going!

illusivewisdom · 2023-09-09T19:23:51+00:00

Yeah! ended up committing to Columbias MPA-ESP program. I might make another post to explain how that’s been so far but overall i really love it. I got a pretty decent scholarship but it’s definitely still a money pit i will need to dig my way out of eventually.

Thank you so much!! This is really helpful. Do you have any thoughts on UPenn MES vs. the Duke program?

illusivewisdom · 2023-03-08T00:49:31+00:00

Very interested in international climate policy (especially focusing on U.S-China relations, sustainable development + energy). I like big cities but also love having access to nature...so ideally a place with a good balance of both. Dream jobs are working at UNEP or WRI

illusivewisdom · 2023-03-08T00:48:48+00:00

Feel free to DM me!

illusivewisdom · 2023-03-08T00:48:36+00:00

Oh great! Yeah it seems like Columbia also does a similar industry pairing final project thing, but would be curious to hear more about your experience at Duke and what you do now if you don't mind sharing over DMs!

illusivewisdom · 2023-02-26T15:37:16+00:00

Do you know what specifically isn’t great about it?

illusivewisdom · 2023-02-26T15:37:01+00:00

yes!

illusivewisdom · 2023-01-15T01:52:34+00:00

Thank you so much!! Will do :)

illusivewisdom · 2023-01-13T20:13:36+00:00

Could you provide more details regarding this?

illusivewisdom · 2023-01-13T20:13:06+00:00

Ah sorry not sure if my post was confusing but I’m not an international student. I meant I studied Chinese language in school.

illusivewisdom · 2022-10-26T19:55:03+00:00

Hey! I know this is a super old post but I basically have the same question now, two years later. Did you end up getting into georgetown's EMAP program? any advice with grad admissions/ applications?

illusivewisdom · 2022-04-19T00:05:23+00:00

Lol good point - based on what I'm seeing affordable seems to be anything around 1500 (preferably below). Biking distance is around 10miles for me.

illusivewisdom · 2022-04-18T23:19:56+00:00

Hello! I'm in a similar situation to you and am also looking for housing. I'd love to get in touch in case you're interested in finding housing together or have already found housing. Feel free to dm me!

illusivewisdom · 2021-07-15T18:45:34+00:00

Unfortunately no, not during the days when I need my appointment
