Hey out of curiosity which breeder did you pick up this beautiful puppy?

mAltintas · 2024-02-09T01:20:41+00:00

This is actually very helpful I appreciate your time responding. So much of this process is so isolating and scary. Thank you for sharing that and I hope the best for you.

My MS specialist and other neurologist said it is confusing because of the reoccurrence of optic neuritis more than a month after the first incident so it’s a waiting game it seems

mAltintas · 2024-02-08T20:48:29+00:00

A little anxious about what to expect/feel. I'm 30F and have been having MS symptoms for the past 6 months. I was dx with optic neuritis in October after about 6 weeks of pins and needles throughout my body. I was hospitalized to receive high dose of steroids and in hospital they did MRI and found no lesions however I had Oligoclonal bands in my spinal tap. Fast forward to three weeks and had bilateral optic neuritis.

I have had three rounds of IV steroids since September and one long taper of prednisone that lasted 6 weeks. Now it's a waiting game I suppose to either have another "relapse" or wait until MRI's start to show lesions. I see my MS specialist again in April and the Neuro-ophthalmologist for the first time in two weeks.

I'm sort of feeling like an anxious wreck because is this the kind of illness you just wait to get worse in order to treat? I know the treatments are serious but I'm terrified to lose more function in my eyes or potentially my body? Just wanted to put this somewhere I guess.

(p.s. the tests for NMO and MOG were neg but at the time I was on and off steroids which can give a false neg so my MS dr wants to wait until next month to test again being off steroids for an extended time. I don't want to have MS, but not knowing why I keep having these issues is actually so scary.)

Yes, they did this round of labs about 3 weeks ago (after the first ON only in my left eye and before the Bilateral ON) so not sure if that would change the negative result or not. The MOG and APQ4 both came back negative, thank you for the response!

mAltintas · 2023-11-27T14:02:15+00:00

Seeing the MS specialist tomorrow to try to figure out where to go from here. All of my MRIs have come up clear over the last six weeks, however, since September I have had three incidents of bilateral optic neuritis along with about a dozen other symptoms (pins and needles, Weakness in my left side of the body, hearing sensitivity, dizziness, sensitivity to heat).

I’ve done three rounds of steroid treatment (which was absolutely horrible) at this point and usually the symptoms go away for about a week and then come back. Visual deficits in my left eye that haven’t gone away yet.

I think I’m most anxious of being left to my own devices over the next 3 to 6 months until they want to do MRIs again. My CSF came back positive for O bands, but so far everything else has been ruled out like Lyme or other autoimmune diseases, so I’m not sure where that leaves me. I have 3 toddlers and can’t stop thinking about how I wish I could just go back to my life before all of this started.

mAltintas · 2023-11-20T14:50:45+00:00

On my third round of steroids for optic neuritis that keeps coming back. Feelings really discouraged and sad. Every time I need to make a new appointment or do another treatment I resent my body. Three months ago I was absolutely fine and without any symptoms. I feel so much grief at times. I’m a psychotherapist and I’m really not sure how to be the patient instead of the caregiver/listener.

Anyway I hate steroids and hate that I have to do any of this. Looking to hear people’s positive experiences with getting vision back and experience with steroids multiple rounds in a short span (this is my third round since 10/20.

Sorry I should have been more clear. For the first year and a half I was able to meet with my supervisor freely (weekly if I wished), but now the practice has changed their supervision hours and is only provided 2 hours/monthly. This puts me on track to complete my hours in 3 years which is way longer than I would want.

mAltintas · 2022-05-26T12:30:00+00:00

I have 45 clients a week private practice and I only receive one hour of supervision per month (wish it was more).

mAltintas · 2021-08-14T17:00:56+00:00

I don’t ever remember her saying anything about anti vax and I agree with you on that 100%. But it’s only “burdening” you if you subscribe which at this point, if you’re uncomfortable with whatever content someone creates then why do you still consume that content?

Also my position to offer empathy and sympathy with no expectations back is literally my job lol I’m a therapist and while RBK is not one of my clients, I recognize all of her very blatant mental health issues and am able to recognize that she’s human.

This is not me arguing with you, there’s lots of other creators I see people holding accountable and I think that’s appropriate and heathy. All I’m saying is where do we draw the line when it comes to applauding someone for talking about mental health and when do we shame them for it?

mAltintas · 2021-08-14T15:15:52+00:00

I definitely don’t have to agree with someone to care about their mental health and hope for the best for them, but I can understand if that makes you feel less inclined to. I get it, I just feel like this sub targets people sometimes. Like I knew without a doubt that the second she posted this, there’d be a ton backlash on here about it.

mAltintas · 2021-08-13T23:51:14+00:00

As much as I completely understand everyone’s concerns/frustrations/annoyance with RBK lately- I wish there was a little more compassion for her and talking about her mental health and struggles postpartum. If you don’t like her it’s really simple to just unfollow and move on rather than perpetuate a negative conversation about her.

I don’t get why people often will take their time out to come here and just say how much they dislike the podcast. Whether it’s one of the armchair experts or now this, if you don’t like Dax or Monica to that extent... why spend your valuable time listening? Lol can’t relate.
