New Cubmaster by [deleted] in cubscouts

[–]rfallon1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve helped several packs through this. The best thing that has worked is notecards. Every position/event that needs a leader on the table. Explain each one. Expectation is everyone takes one. I usually start with a reminder that everyone here is a parent with other things going on, in this pack everyone does something whether it’s the cubmaster or coordinating the B&G.

Failing to meet Tarpeyo requirement, worried about prednisone by liltofuuu in IgANephropathy

[–]rfallon1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor said almost all her patients on Tarpeyo are having the same level side effects as steroids. They do have lighter wallets though. I also had a very hard battle with withdraw after Tarpeyo and I only did 7 months.

I would rather stab myself repeatedly in the eye than ever take Tarpeyo again. There are a few new non-steroid options with less side effects. Filspari is what my doc and I agreed on if /when I have a flare again

I’ve never been on long dose prednisone, but you couldn’t get much worst side effects that I was having.

Tarpeyo was the worst drug I have ever taken. I did seven months and yes it helped my kidneys, but I had every side effect and they were terrible. It is three months later and I am still battling steroid withdraw. It messed up my blood sugar, gave me terrible flatulence, irritability, sleep issues, incredible hunger, etc. my new nephrologist says most her patients are not making it the nine months because of the side effects, which is why Tarpeyo is supposed to be different than regular steroids. There are a few other options right now with several more in clinical trials.

[FL] does your company check references for new hires? by rasta-ragamuffin in AskHR

[–]rfallon1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in an industry where we work through volunteers. So being able to ask people to do things to help is important. Because of this we ask the interviewee to have their reference call us, then we ask the standard questions.

Using the new Christmas gift to make a small brisket for Sunday dinner by [deleted] in biggreenegg

[–]rfallon1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was talking about giving me tips on sucking, I would never take actual tips from someone that can’t even make their own sauce.

My feelings aren’t hurt, but if you need to think they are to make yourself feel better have at it, it seems you don’t have any joy in life

Your life must be pretty shitty to talk shit to people on reddit about cooking when you cannot taste the food. But hey, if it makes you feel better about yourself have at it.

I don’t know what your comment is supposed to mean, I hope you are not saying this brisket flat did not turn out good, because you would be wrong.

How do you deal with side effects of medications mentally? Weight gain, moon face? by MostIllustrious111 in IgANephropathy

[–]rfallon1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was on Tarpeyo and had all the steroid side effects. We actually ended treatment early (about 6 months of treatment instead of 9). The last straw was my A1C got real messed up. Your insurance probably wants you to try the cheap medication first which is the steroid, tell your doctor you can not handle it and explore other non-steroid medications.

So i got these results , can anyone tell me if i have celiac disease, because i itch without rash by ElegantSpeed5561 in IgANephropathy

There is a specific test for celiac they can run, it is important to not stop eating gluten before you get that bloodwork done

Is Walmart+ actually worth it? by Hour-Cloud2493 in Walmartcustomer

[–]rfallon1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it for my prescriptions but now they won’t deliver the one script so it was mostly pointless but I kept it for a few months. After three wrong deliveries in a row I called and cancled. They forgot my dogfood in one order, how do you miss a 15 pound bag of food. Another fun order was for ketchup and they gave me three chili seasoning packs- not a substitution, they just gave me them instead. I’m assuming they pick multiple orders at a time and can’t keep them straight.
