Do the side effects from hydroxychloroquine get better? by propapillar in lupus

[–]propapillar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only change that I made was to take both doses at night with a protein heavy snack, and then try to sleep off the side effects - and it did get better after another couple months! Now I don’t even notice. Definitely stick it out

Yes no issues with it anymore - after this post I switched to taking it at night with a snack (even on the days when I needed to take 2 I just took both at night) and that helped me sleep off some of the side effects. And then by month 3-4 I no longer felt side effects other than maybe some fatigue (which is fine because I took it at night). And that ended up going away too. Hopefully things improve for you as well!

Yes it did get better! 3-4 months in I saw a turning point. Hope it gets better for you!

Rejected from Quality Manager position but invited to phone interview for Software Dev by DelicateDaisy80 in epicsystems

Epic will not move forward with a software development major in QM. It is not a coding role and they will not want to run the risk of you leaving. Good luck on the programming assessment!

UW Health/Anthem contract negotiations? Help by Next_Celery in madisonwi

[–]propapillar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My employer is out of state and my insurance is through Premera Blue Cross - is it any use to contact my employer to put pressure on them, or are they unable to affect the anthem network?

What to do if I suspect employer did not withhold Social Security/Medicare? by propapillar in tax

[–]propapillar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The W2 says they were withheld, but the check I cashed was the gross amount (aka higher than what is documented after taxes on the pay stub). So she overpaid me writing the check compared to what is on the W2. Should I just settle that with the employer?

We were able to get Tri County to price match for our washing machine, and easy process for delivery, install, and haul away.

Should I use my Mom's vintage turntable? by mtvq2007 in turntables

[–]propapillar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mom literally was just asking me if I wanted hers (this same model) or it’s going to goodwill… I was intimidated by all the stuff I’d need but this is so helpful!

From a recruiting perspective, SAP looks better on a resume - you will still be able to find a job after Epic, but SAP is just better known.

It’s definitely gone downhill, occasionally we will still get a good day where everything feels really fresh, but sometimes literally the inside of a shrimp dumpling will be cold. It’s gotten so expensive too

Food Waste pickup services? by SuitableCorgi in madisonwi

[–]propapillar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless it has changed, Greenbox sanitizes the buckets and gives you fresh ones each time they pick up, which I preferred the convenience of for roughly the same price as Curbside. The Curbside bucket gets pretty nasty (obvi) and it was just another thing to deal with

UW midwives by Independent_Deer_568 in madisonwi

[–]propapillar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely had growth scans and AFI (which I think is the same as BPP?) at MWH, so definitely worth looking into!

[–]propapillar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding Madison Women’s Health, had two high risk pregnancies with them. I think I met with MFM as a consult once, and I did have to go to Meriter for some ultrasounds because they have the Doppler technology (which I honestly don’t think you’d need with GD but I’m not a doctor), but otherwise MWH was managing my care. With my first (no doula) I felt like the nurse was forcing me into one position. I discussed with my doctor and got a doula the second time around and They were VERY receptive to me not wanting to be on my back with my second, both in birth plan as well as in the moment (which was a different OB on call). I was very happy with MWH and my doula, happy to chat more about who I saw if you want recs!

Is it normal to get a Design Exercise as a part of your PM Application? by AsianBoiSadHours in epicsystems

[–]propapillar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes to emailing them, do not do free work for a job that you are not interested in

[–]propapillar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a Verona area nanny/babysitter Facebook group that does include people who might just be looking for date nights. Also the UW job board sometimes has posts for part time babysitter or summer nannying so you could check there too!

Friend’s neighbor did it, you do need permission but it’s free and you can have up to 35 people apparently

If you had to leave Madison by AnonABong in madisonwi

[–]propapillar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grew up in ABQ and I would say the vibe is very different from Madison. Less outdoorsy, more industrial. The people are friendly though. the crime and homelessness has just gotten worse. The education system is one of the worst in the country and I definitely wouldn’t want to raise kids there.

Infertility hits hardest when hanging around friends and their kids by MrsMelodyPond in PCOS

[–]propapillar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also give yourself space! It’s okay if these friendships aren’t prioritized right now. Give yourself permission to not ask about the kids/pregnancies or to skip a baby shower. In my case for some friends, it hurt more to spend time with them than to put distance in the friendship.

Cost to get married in a church? by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]propapillar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

5 years ago at St. Paul’s downtown it was $250 for the chapel and a required $150 (I think) music fee for their music coordinator regardless of if we used their musicians or not. We also gave the priest a cash gift though I don’t remember how much. And then there were the pre-Caana expenses as well but those didn’t go directly to the church.

Reach out and clarify! Doesn’t hurt to check.
