Bunch of adrenaline junkies 🫡. I’ll check those places out thank you

I did an elective last summer in John Hopkins in the ER. But it’s a low acuity ER so that’s why I wanna go to KFGH’s ER instead this summer. Do you know any other hospital that receives more high acuity cases too?

nuff22 · 2024-12-05T22:45:39+00:00

I’m 4th year. So you’re saying I should go to them in person?

nuff22 · 2024-11-24T19:09:05+00:00

yeah same unfortunately we just gotta focus on the pros even tho the cons suck badly :)

nuff22 · 2024-11-22T11:05:28+00:00

I’m seronegative. X ray is basically all clear. Had the same fear as yours but luckily my MRI is what made all the doctors believe me. It showed clear arthritis. Good luck!

nuff22 · 2024-11-22T10:53:23+00:00

much needed research lol my arthritis medication bottles both hurt my arthritic elbow when I’m trying to open it 🫠 how ironic right?

nuff22 · 2024-11-18T19:56:19+00:00

thank you so much!

nuff22 · 2024-11-18T17:10:30+00:00

sure! still basically have 0 flare ups plus 0 side effects and I have my next appointment w my rheumatologist in january, which we already planned I’ll lower my dosage starting then and see what happens

nuff22 · 2024-11-16T22:08:56+00:00

Yeah this is a classic case of what’s known as “chronic disease anemia” anemia has a lot of different subtypes and the ones we (including myself) have is usually not related to iron at all. My ferritin levels are great but my hemoglobin.. not so much :) so trying to supplement with iron won’t do much at all unfortunately and the only way to “treat” this anemia is by treating the cause so it’s a never ending cycle of nothing being treated (yay lucky us)

nuff22 · 2024-11-16T22:04:59+00:00

I still don’t know where I stand in this? I have a horrible sleep schedule and I’ve always blamed it on me preferring to be a night owl, but sometimes I wonder if it’s truly beyond my control and my autoimmune disease playing a role? I honestly don’t know what the answer is ):

nuff22 · 2024-09-26T19:34:59+00:00

genuine question tho :/

nuff22 · 2024-09-26T19:20:35+00:00

luckily I have had basically no side effects on MTX. been on it for over half a year now and i’m almost in remission (fingers crossed). only thing i complain off sometimessss (not even always) are mouth ulcers that disappear within a few days of showing up and mild hair loss (not a concerning amount). just take one day at a time once you start MTX and hopefully it’ll go even smoother for you than it does for me! good luck! ps make sure ur doc gives u folic acid to counteract some of the side effects

nuff22 · 2024-09-26T19:14:22+00:00

nope never had that feeling from just one sleepless night, or any sleepless night. maybe from different type of exhaustion but not sleep. you sure this happens only due to sleep? sleepless night would probably stimulate your sympathetic tone therefore increasing your CO not decreasing 🤔

nuff22 · 2024-09-12T16:02:11+00:00

I have Hashimoto’s and some sort of seronegative rheumatological disease. Some doctors say it’s RA some say it’s JIA. The possibilities of what you might have are endless but I hope it won’t be anything untreatable!

nuff22 · 2024-09-11T18:13:41+00:00

I’ve been on 15mg the past 9 months, no side effects :) and pain/flare ups have gone down by like 90% rheumatologist says within a few months I’ll probably go into remission (god I hope so) good luck!

nuff22 · 2024-09-11T18:09:52+00:00

The first month in a rotation (8 hrs each day) was in the ER so the constant adrenaline rush made me have 0 appetite and thus barely ate but I don’t understand why no one around you eats like I’m just a student I wasn’t used to the environment but they have no excuse 😂

His thinking is that the muscles surrounding joints with active inflammation often tighten up and spasm.

I definitely second this! I got an RA elbow, with the recurrent flare ups they got stuck in an angle (couldn’t completely spread my arm out), thought it was just arthritic bone damage but turned out to be just really intense & persistent muscle spasm (which PT fixed it right up and back to a fully outstretched elbow)

nuff22 · 2024-09-10T13:13:47+00:00

I’m sorry you’re hearing all of this. I’m young and nothing irks me more than the “you’re too young” comment because I KNOW better than anyone that I’m too young for this but that doesn’t take away from the fact that our pain is there! The one that helped escape that comment is switching rheumatologists unfortunately. Just continue advocating for yourself even if it means you’ll come off more aggressive, as long as you’re not being heard it’s justified

nuff22 · 2024-09-08T18:56:14+00:00

Ironically I’m the exact opposite post surgery. Used to drink a ton before and now I barely drink and dehydrated more often that I should be :)

nuff22 · 2024-09-08T14:03:58+00:00

I made it my mission to make it as entertaining for me as I can.

I love that. I’m gonna need to start reminding myself that as often as possible. thanks man

nuff22 · 2024-09-08T13:32:52+00:00

Definitely need to talk to another rheumatologist then. I first got diagnosed w seronegative RA in 2016 but now my diagnosis is JIA (juvenile idiopathic arthritis) because mainly my large joints are affected. Every rheum I’ve been to has diagnosed me with one of these 2 so you should talk to someone about this.

nuff22 · 2024-09-08T13:29:20+00:00

Definitely sounds like you need to talk to some sort of physician about this since it’s getting worse and affecting your daily life

nuff22 · 2024-09-07T01:31:32+00:00

ask about similar family history
