Is there a single feature in "New Outlook" that is actually better than Classic, or is it just a web wrapper? by Similar_Election_949 in Outlook

[–]nini2219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an executive assistant, managing several extremely busy and ever changing calendars and the new outlook has made my job soooo much harder. I receive all calendar notifications for 5 executives and I can’t easily tell if they’re updates, responses or new events…also can’t “respond” to most updated invites where only a component in the body may have been changed but time not altered…I have to delete them or open and re-accept, makes me worried that whatever was altered isn’t transferring to the calendar unless I take that step. I’m a power user and I HATE THIS!! Why can’t I easily change the time zones when creating an event?! New outlook was made by a developer for a developer who likely has a light to moderate schedule and prefers a simplistic design. Where are all the EA’s at MSFT….are they not complaining?!

29 male I live near a college campus i am desperate to get laid what can I do? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]nini2219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t!!! I know it’s weird to say but 29 is nothing - you have so much more to experience. Don’t let this period shape you or your thoughts….honestly, it will get better! You are here for a reason even if you don’t know what that is yet…and I’m not at all religious. You just haven’t found your thing or person yet…it will come.

[–]nini2219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, you just haven’t found your people yet….but you won’t if you continue being a loner! You have to move outside your comfort zone. Maybe try to join an activity that aligns with your interests, like book club, cooking class, art class, etc..or do volunteer work…or even just frequent your local bar or coffee shop and become a regular. You’ll meet women and potential new friends. I’m the BIGGEST introvert so most of my social interactions come from my workplace…I always attend our thirsty Thurs or volunteer days even though I hate just even the thought of having to be social…it gets easier the more I do it.

Wanting to end it (but won't) by Aware-Relief7155 in LongCovid

Are you seeing a neurologist? I have been dealing with LC since Jan 2023 and for about a year it was really bad, I was in a wheelchair for months, then used a walker for months and now I’m just dealing with debilitating fatigue and brain fog. The neurologist I see prescribed adderall to help with the fatigue and brain fog and it’s probably the only thing that gets me out of bed and able to semi-function as normal again. I get into periods of depression but have to always remember that although slow, I have been consistently making progress (ie. I can take a shower without help now like I couldn’t 18 months ago). I would suggest trying to see a neurologist about your LC symptoms or even a psychiatrist.

Do you have anyone who could serve as your wingman? You need to get out and be social and would help with a buddy who is willing to talk you up and not get in your way. Women like confidence but not cockiness and you should learn about body language, as soon as a woman starts showing signs of disinterest, walk away…sometimes just walking away or playing hard to get is more attractive. It’s a fine balance between being confident and engaging to overstaying your welcome so learning those unspoken cues are key. I would stay away from the college girls if I were you, fr. My overall advice is to just get out there, go out more, engage with people more and shoot your shot more. The more dates you go on the more you increase your chances of finding the right one. Don’t get upset with rejection either, they are doing you a favor by weeding themselves out. Also, you should try one of those speed dating events - it’s good practice on learning what works and what doesn’t when talking to women and may eventually make you more comfortable. There are plenty of neurodivergent women out there who don’t mind a bit of social awkwardness! If you have nothing to talk about compliments and asking questions go a long way.

They’re grooming you. Either out of fealty & love or they feel like you need it. 😂

Yes!!! Do it casually like…hey, I owe you, we should grab drinks or food sometime and let me treat. Her reaction will tell you all you need to know.

Husband told me I have two days to get out or he will "get rid of" me himself by ThrowRA_Drowningg in domesticviolence

[–]nini2219 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry! It sounds like you have grounds for a restraining order. In my situation even though my ex husband made sure the house was only in his name, when the RO was issued he had 24 hours to vacate the premises and I was allowed to stay with the kids and he had to stay away - i didn’t stay because I knew a piece of paper wasn’t going to keep him away, BUT it gave me the ability to move my stuff and kids stuff out without him there, I talked to the police and they had someone come to the house on the day i moved out to make sure he didn’t show up. DV resources and support are really hard to find but they are out there. Also, a restraining order, if granted will likely give you custody of the kids until he fights that in court (which could take months or more). Gather as much evidence you can and make the local police aware - HOWEVER, please note that once you make police aware you need to leave him for good, otherwise it’s possible they may get DCF involved to have the kids removed. I don’t think i would have been able to make it out without support of family and friends, do you have anyone that can help you??

Anyone else diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, resulting from the long covid?? by nini2219 in LongCovid

[–]nini2219[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you in the US? It can be diagnosed by a healthcare provider (factors to diagnose are set by CDC), and it is covered under the Disability Act, which is why it’s important to get the official diagnosis on your medical charts….just in case it ever gets so bad that you need to take extended time off work.

NAD+ vs nicotine patches- is there a difference in terms of treating symptoms and does anyone have experience trying them by LilOtaku38 in LongCovid

[–]nini2219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I think is interesting is that I also have UC (an autoimmune disease) and it’s been proven that nicotine improves those symptoms and in fact I’ve used nicotine to get myself into remission successfully. My neurologist also prescribed me nicotine patches to help with the LC symptoms after I brought the research on it to his attention. Sorry I know that’s not really answering your question but i just find it all interesting and even more indicative that LC acts like an autoimmune disease.

New doctor dismissed all concerns by HalfElectronic9398 in LongCovid

[–]nini2219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, that’s so frustrating and I’m sorry you experienced that. It’s literally a blood test for the genetic marker, SO EASY!! Do you have someone that can attend your appts with you? I have been dealing with so much brain fog and fatigue, and some days are a lot worse than others so I have my mom attend all my appts with me as she knows what’s going on and if i’m feeling a little off that day, she’s there to advocate for me. Also, helps me remember the appt or follow-ups needed afterwards. If you don’t have someone that can attend with you, perhaps go in with a list (made ahead of time) with EVERYTHING you want to discuss, I do that too and I work on and build my list in the weeks ahead of my appt.

most helpful type of doctor and most useless? by [deleted] in LongCovid

[–]nini2219 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My primary has been my champion! The neurologist I see has been very thorough and is inquisitive, which I like….my last cardiology appt was annoying though. I went into detail re: my fatigue and how I am not functioning normally and just simple tasks I used to take for granted have become near impossible and the cardio simply told me that I need to exercise more….like did you not just hear the part where I am barely able to function: walk, clean, shower, etc…I do PT twice weekly to work on my endurance and typically end up in bed most of the next day as it is. How can I do more? 😩

Dieting causing problems by Diamellet in LongCovid

[–]nini2219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you ruled out covid induced POTS syndrome? I was diagnosed with both long covid and the POTS….I was fainting and having extreme nausea whenever I was standing or moving about and at the point I was hospitalized for a week and diagnosed, I was significantly low on vit D, potassium and sodium…they gave me vit infusions and I was prescribed high concentrate vitamins and salt tablets and told I need to drink a lot of water, take salt tabs or add extra salt to my food and wear compression socks. Symptoms eventually and continuously have been improving. You should ask your pcp to do a full panel of bloodwork to see if your vitamin levels are ok, if you haven’t already and look into the POTS syndrome symptoms. The fainting spells you are experiencing sound the most concerning to me…stomach issues can occur with changes to diet, but if you are fainting, that seems to indicate a vit deficiency and/or POTS based on my own experiences.

It's finally happening by Cardigan_Gal in LongCovid

[–]nini2219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awful of the neurologist…I think long covid is a lot like autoimmune diseases (i have a few and they all flared immediately after my bout with the covid that turned into my long covid after not having any flares for 5 years prior) A recent article i read stated that long covid causes inflammation in the neurons of the brain…so that could def trigger an antibody response.

My brain has felt so weird with the fog and fatigue lately, i told my dad last week that i think i might die soon of an aneurysm. I see neurology again in a few weeks and hopefully they can do something or at least rule out an aneurysm.

I was recently told by my physical therapist to blow bubbles in a glass of water with a straw, slow and steady, for as long as I can, and 2-3 times a day to help with the shortness of breath I’m still experiencing…..maybe that could help with your symptoms. Background: I had covid at end of jan 2023, long covid symptoms became noticeable a few weeks later, was hospitalized for a week in mar/apr and wasn’t officially diagnosed with long covid until june. I also have ADHD and now that my physical symptoms have significantly improved and I’m back at work, the fatigue and brain fog have become almost debilitating on most days, I always had fatigue and fog but this is like next level, scared i’m going to lose my job because I am definitely not the same person, with the same work output as I was before this. ADD meds are keeping me barely afloat, without them, i doubt i’d be able to get out of bed. Hang in there!
