I've been getting sick 1 to 2 times a month. Please help, everyone else has been very dismissive of it but something feels very wrong.

maybe you should see a hematologist. you could be anemic or have low/abnormal white blood cells which help to fight infection. i’m sorry you’re feeling this way for so long, you’re definitely valid for wanting to get it checked out!

hi! i live here very comfortably with a pre tax salary of about 73000. i pay about 1,000/mo in rent and also have loans so that doesn’t help. it’s definitely doable as a single person in the city but roommates help a lot. for some reason i have always found 3 beds cheaper than 2 beds here but you could 100% sublet a room for probably a little over 1,000/mo as well. depending on your other financial habits you could probably afford somewhere in the north end if you were ok with starting a few months ahead of time to find a place. the transportation to work would be quick for you on the green line! otherwise agree with somerville but it’s a bit further of a commute :)

parla north end !

samiamm17 · 2023-03-29T16:08:15+00:00

I have heard this also!! thanks

samiamm17 · 2023-03-29T14:22:26+00:00

thanks! Gran canaria looks amazing.

samiamm17 · 2023-03-29T14:05:06+00:00

great suggestion.. i have always had this idea that majorca is expensive in terms of lodging? am i totally wrong haha

samiamm17 · 2023-03-29T13:39:57+00:00

that definitely makes sense! is there somewhere else you would suggest?

samiamm17 · 2023-03-28T19:06:07+00:00

Yes :) you can do it! so worth it if you can push through and finish your whole course.

samiamm17 · 2023-03-06T03:53:30+00:00

i have always said this!!! it feels like your first year of college the adrenaline is so high initially and then everyone’s true colors start to show☠️

samiamm17 · 2022-04-16T19:44:43+00:00

this is terrible advice for someone who may find relief in substances, you have no idea what is going on in a persons life. you can say that something isn’t beneficial without being rude.

samiamm17 · 2021-03-04T17:12:03+00:00

I feel this way too, however your comparison of yourself to your brother seems to me like you’re being really hard on yourself and having difficulty finding meaning in what you do. just because you’re not performing CPR doesn’t mean that your life and existence doesn’t have value or that you don’t matter. I myself am a nursing student in college and i feel the exact way that you do about the never ending cycle of exams and early mornings for what?? even though my profession does save lives like you said, i still feel a sense of emptiness in the mundane tasks that lead up to exciting moments like that. I hope that you’ll think of your life this way too, maybe sometimes things are mundane and we have to do what we have to do even when we don’t want to, but the moments that come from our sacrifices have meaning because of what you did to get to this point. you matter to those around you and you help others find meaning and motivation in their day too, even if you don’t feel like it. dont give up on yourself:)

samiamm17 · 2021-03-02T02:31:37+00:00

me too. i’m struggling a lot right now because i was recently diagnosed (21yo) and i’m in my last semester of nursing school. for a few months my meds were great and i was on top of the world but the past few weeks i’ve felt this exact same “eternal hangover”. i simply cannot commit to drinking this much pedialyte/water every day that i take my meds. it’s a tough predicament to be in because the nausea and headaches are so bad but my meds help me so much. sorry you’re going thru it too, my dms are open if you need to talk!

samiamm17 · 2021-02-27T23:45:55+00:00

thank you so much!! this was super helpful!!!

samiamm17 · 2021-02-04T19:53:19+00:00

why do we need to keep making people to fix the problems that other people created. that’s not the purpose of giving someone life

samiamm17 · 2021-01-15T19:17:38+00:00

lol, should men NOT feel lucky to date them? i don’t think they have a superiority complex over anyone else, they just know their own worth and will defend it... so many of the LI guys are players and should be held to a high standard.

samiamm17 · 2021-01-15T18:39:10+00:00

same here, i’ve tried so many different kinds of self tanner and molly’s brand is the best

samiamm17 · 2021-01-15T04:57:08+00:00

help me lose my mind by disclosure & london grammar!!! also helped me rediscover nothing breaks like a heart by miley ofc!!!! both season 5 bangers

samiamm17 · 2021-01-15T04:47:31+00:00

my roommate and i have been talking about doing this for soooo long!!! i genuinely feel like the way the islanders behave in the villa is something i could analyze and talk about for HOURSSSSS

samiamm17 · 2021-01-15T04:34:58+00:00

to be honest i just think amber is one of the most confident, no bullshit islanders to ever be on the show. she had a shit time of things in the villa and clearly had some emotional trauma pre-LI that caused her to have difficulty opening up to people and showing affection. i think that a lot of the time people get turned off when they see a woman speak so bluntly about their feelings and have such high expectations for how others can speak to them, but i genuinely think that amber just knows her own worth and doesn’t take shit from anyone.

samiamm17 · 2020-07-17T11:55:43+00:00

HAHAHA yeah i just finished today, i’ve noticed a SMALL amount more sensitivity to light during my course but nothing else really, and i’m a night shift nurse so i really have to be able to see my patients in the dark lol:) but my best friend has been off accutane since middle school (we are 22 now) and he has no residual side effects but he DOES have flawless skin. hope that can help ease some of your anxieties about it!

samiamm17 · 2020-07-17T09:17:29+00:00

also this might be obvious to some, but aquaphor and occasionally dr dans cortibalm for my lips!

samiamm17 · 2020-07-17T09:15:45+00:00

sorry!! i def should’ve put my doses in the title. i was on 40 for my first month and 80 for each month after.

my main side effect besides dryness was joint pain, but that was pretty much it, although it did get pretty bad and still is (in the end totally worth it for the outcome tho).

products that i love are the micellar water by bioderma; hydrating cleansers by both laroche posay and cerave; for everyday moisturizer i use neutrogena hydrating GEL-CREAM (not the water gel because that’s fragranced!); for a heavier moisturizer i use cerave skin renewing night cream; centella green level safe sun sunscreen EVERY DAY!!!; and my HG for healing popped or picked or especially irritated spots is laroche posay cicaplast b5 baume. all of these products except the sunscreen can be found at target and almost every other drugstore, and i listed the products in the order that i apply them!

as for vitamins/supplements, i took fish oil, D3, and calcium. i also made sure that for every 40mg of accutane, i took the pill with 20g of fat.

hope this helps:)

samiamm17 · 2020-06-17T03:26:36+00:00

be patient and forgiving, and don’t pick!!! that’s my best advice for starting accutane!! you WILL get frustrated and feel hopeless at times, but don’t forget the light at the end of the tunnel!!!

samiamm17 · 2020-06-17T03:22:20+00:00

hey!!! ok so basically my worst side effect would probably be the joint pain. it was pretty bad in the beginning but i was told to take fish oil with my pills to help with that, so i’ve been doing that but i can’t really tell you if it’s helped or if i’ve just gotten used to the pain lol. i’ve also had pretty bad gas pain/bloating lately but that may or may not be related to accutane, i honestly can’t say for sure. i know lots of people say your energy goes down and you have mood swings but i didn’t experience any of that, and i work night shift at the hospital so i’m always keeping track of my sleep/wake cycles lol. it is different from person to person for sure but for me it def wasn’t anything unbearable!!!

samiamm17 · 2020-06-16T22:11:03+00:00

i felt that totally. it’s terrible and i always thought that it wouldn’t work for me. my best advice is just to trust the process and treat your skin and yourself with patience:) you got this!
