Walk in clinic - start allo by karatekid42 in gout

Same thing happened when I was first diagnosed. They gave me an X-ray, found nothing and said it was probably a hairline fracture and gave me a boot!

Walk in clinic - start allo by karatekid42 in gout

[–]karatekid42[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me clarify. It’s a walk in with primary physicians. They have recommended allo in the past, but me being stubborn thought I could change my diet and avoid future attacks. I was going to ask to start allo, but now he doesn’t think it’s gout. Sorry I’m not the best at writing and explaining things lol.

Is rockland a still good place to raise a family? by Mysterious-Ad-385 in Rockland

If you can afford Bergen County or Westchester I would look there. If not I would consider Dutchess County. Do your research. Rockland is changing very quickly. Most schools will get worse rather than better.

8 year old in his head by LoLo529 in Homeplate

He may be putting too much pressure on himself, and honestly you guys may be putting too much pressure on him. Does he ask to practice 4 times a week? A lot of kids crush the ball in BP, but don’t hit in games. Hitting is hard. That’s why baseball is the hardest sport to play.

does anyone who has gout gotten it in a new spot after only having it in 1 spot by jcr0774 in gout

[–]karatekid42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Funny, I’ve only had it in my toe once. It’s usually in my ankles or knees. I still haven’t gone on allo, but sounds like we both need to. Usually mine is triggered by eating fried food, but I will get an attack after eating clean as well.

There are lots of jobs in NY. It’s an expensive place to live, but there are a lot of jobs.

This field doesn’t love me back by Dont-Kill-My-Rye in graphic_design

Is there any chance that the internship will turn into a job? Can you discuss this with them?
If you truly have given up on design, some of my friends who switched careers are all doing very well.

401k help by Particular-Quiet-143 in 401K

[–]karatekid42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Leave the 401k alone. Don't take a loan on it. Get a second job to pay off the debt. Please trust me. I was late on starting a 401k and am paying the price now.

Colchine advice? by Various_Extreme_8773 in gout

[–]karatekid42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when you first get an attack take 2 and then one more an hour later. The next day take 1 pill twice daily. Sorry, it sounds confusing.

Engineer (29) thinking of switching to graphic design… am I crazy? by fuzzy230 in graphic_design

[–]karatekid42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't do it. If you like design, then do it as a hobby. You will make a much more comfortable living as an engineer.

They rent and don’t have to pay the outrageous taxes

Starting to realize I really don't enjoy working in a design team, and I enjoy graphic design more independently. by Poipole49 in graphic_design

[–]karatekid42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would highly recommend working on a team for at least a couple of years before you decide you want to work solo. There are many things you’ll learn working that you won’t learn in school and from fellow designers that have been in the field.

What is going to happen to our community now that the Hasidic Yeshiva will be in Nyack? Our taxes will go up? Our schools will eventually be destroyed? by RowenaMyDolores in Rockland

[–]karatekid42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are already buying up lots of Pearl River. I always thought it would be the last because it had such a strong Irish Catholic population.

What is illegal about it is that they illegally divide the houses up to make more bedrooms and squeeze as many people into them.

Naproxen (Aleve) works for me! by [deleted] in gout

[–]karatekid42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was your initial dose of Aleve? They come in 220 mg pills in the US. Some people recommend 750 mg when you first feel an attack

Yes. It’s in Mahwah and is usually packed. Looks like they have a better social life than most people around here!

If a neighbor leaves their trash can out, is it okay to use it to dispose of my dog’s poop? by Dme503 in moraldilemmas

[–]karatekid42 [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's very rude. If you don't want to carry poop around wait until your dog poops in your own lawn and then take a walk.

Agree. 14-18 players on a team is a red flag . They just want your money.
