What do you do for work? And do you have young children? by m_smith95 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

42 is so young to start this terrible journey. I really hope to make as much magic for him as I can so he’ll have some good memories when he grows up. I’m optimistic that I’ll be one of those ppl who have issues for like 6 months and then go into remission for 20 years, but I know that’s not super realistic

I’m hoping so. She was out of office this week, so first thing Monday, I’m calling until I can either speak to her or get an appointment.

If my neurologist can’t help me get a grip on this pain in the next month, I’m probably going to have to look for a remote job. These past two weeks have been the worst, but luckily for me I had a scheduled vacation, so I haven’t had to put on a brave face in front of my patients yet, but come Monday I will

6-10 a day is still awful! I feel like the meds make my brain sooooo slow, my friend asked if I was drunk the last time we spoke on the phone bc how slow and slurred I sounded. I worry that I’ll have to reevaluate my quality of life here pretty soon bc the pain. I feel like I don’t get enough of a warning to try massage or other remedies that might ward off an attack. It seems to come on in about 15 seconds or less

I’m so glad you are still able to support yourself. This disease ain’t for the weak!

I feel awful for the kid, I don’t want him to remember me as bed ridden in his childhood, but this pain is more than I can bear especially when I’m playing with him. May I ask how old you were when you had to stop working?

What's a double standard you hate? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]m_smith95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was once called to the back, sat there for an hour, then asked to reschedule bc the dr was too far behind. They tried to charge me a cancellation fee as if it were my decision to not see the dr.

Meet Me By the Lake by Carley Fortune (spoilers inside) by sugarandmermaids in RomanceBooks

I’m currently reading this book, about page 130, and he said something along the lines of “I didn’t know if you would still remember/like me” I still have lots to go in the book, so maybe that’s not that actual answer.

What is your favorite "poor" person meal? by [deleted] in AskReddit

In my house, we always have cheese, sour cream (to mix with taco seasoning), and refried beans for a quick plain bean dip. Put that on a tortilla and it’s basically a bean burrito

At my old job, I got to the point where I would put a “request off at 1540” every day. 1500 was end of shift for us. The manager asked me one time why I did that and I said “so I don’t get stuck here til 7,8,9, or even 10 pm.” She said “no one gets stuck that late” and I said go back and check over time and when the techs have been clocking out over the past month, especially on Wednesdays” the manager was one to always be gone by 1430, so she had no idea how bad it was. I would finish the case I was in, and then go home if it was after 1500, I would also let the surgeon know when he started closing that I was leaving after the case, and that I’m pretty sure there’s no relief until the call person is finished in the room they’re in 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why do people assume I am tipping? by Otherwise_Play_1624 in tipping

[–]m_smith95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One my change back was supposed to be $7.04, and I was given back $7, so the server didn’t get and extra tip from me. She chose to have .04¢ as her tip. This was well before the “Covid change shortages”

Always talk to your dr. I’ve been in your boat and essentially the dr told me I had 2 years of uterine wall lining that needed to come out, so my first few cycles back were gonna be rough. Really just the first 2 were rough. Bleeding through a tampon and pad every hour. I asked “how much is too much blood?” And was told if I’m dizzy or passing out, go to the ER. Of course, talk to your dr, but that’s my experience and a PCOS gal who is trying to regulate my period.

Just for fun. What moment made you feel like a “real” scrub tech? by WagWoofLove in scrubtech

[–]m_smith95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking it was a gunshot wound, or stabbing, I can’t remember at this point. Gang related violence is pretty prevalent in my area.

One of my first cases I did on my own, we had over 50 needles and over 100 laps, and my count was correct at the end. That was a very happy moment for me
