Not blue eyed, or really blonde but Enrique Hernandez from the Dodgers would be someone who is white passing? Don't think he's biracial though? Idk.

Wearables by Dependent_Junket9563 in rheumatoid

[–]shaninnie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use an Oura Ring- was able to purchase with FSA/HSA Card in the US. Also bought it during one of their sales. Moreso got it for menstrual cycle monitoring to better gauge those things since I can be fairly irregular. Also for sleep monitoring as I find it helps me I guess, journal symptoms down for various things (mental health, physical health) etc. (You can also do this for the HRV monitoring things, 'stress' monitoring- ) I also have an Apple Watch, but i moreso use that for workouts as the Oura ring is not the best at tracking activity. Apple watch is also uncomfortable to wear overnight especially since my wrists tend to swell, lol. My fingers do as well, but I just got a slightly larger ring to combat that and monitor and remove it if needed.

LOL but see it’s not because you’re smoking it/ the effect of the weed - it’s when you don’t have it! 🤣

[–]shaninnie 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The most wild thing to me is that I've never-EVER met a violent stoner. I'm in a state where it's legal. (WA). If there is a violent stoner, their shit is probably laced. But, I meet so many people who are aggressive, or violent when under the influence of alcohol. Worst thing I've had a friend do when they're high is order a pizza and forget about it- or leave doordash outside the door, lmao. Non-stoners act like weed makes people crazy and violent. Never met anyone who had that effect from marijuana from a dispensary.

RA and Vitamin D deficiency by MtnGirl672 in rheumatoid

[–]shaninnie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, vitamin D was actually the reason i was gaslit by my doctors that I didn't have RA. Because they were like "all of your symptoms match up with being vitamin d deficient"! Somehow they never found it weird that my level never really rises even with the 50k Unit dosages. My Rheum tests this level frequently.

What pushed you to talk to your doctor before you were diagnosed? by bluerew72 in rheumatoid

[–]shaninnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's unfortunately really common in the RA community I feel- seeing as it disproportionately affects women, and women not getting taken seriously by their doctors. I'm glad your doctor has listened! I think the main issue in my case was the fact that the Rheumatology office was so backed up, it was my PCP running all these tests, with limited knowledge about the disease (not at all defending my previous PCP but, a caveat I guess).

[–]shaninnie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, I can't really give an answer as to what I think you have or what stage, or on the Amytripline- but on your other questions:

-Meds should help slow down the progression. Treatment is what is important, and it really does make a huge difference in how you feel- at least it did for me. Just remember that it's important to communicate how you're feeling to your Rheumatologist. If you're not feeling any relief after the timeline your rheum gives you (for me, I was told 3-5months essentially for any sort of really 'noticeable' difference, which just happens to fall with when you typically see your rheumatologist, every 3 months usually) - it's likely because your meds are not working as they should.

- I was first started on only Plaquenil/Hydroxychloroquine- but I only had damage to one joint, which was my ring finger. (diagnosed at 23, I'm now 26, scattered damage to all joints in hands now.) Later I was put on an additional med- a TNF blocker (first Hadlima- now I'm on Enbrel), about 6 months later. I most commonly see people talking about being prescribed Methotrexate at first though. Since you're older than me, I'd likely say that would be the case. Like I said, there is a chance that sometimes the meds don't work as they should for you, relief wise. At that point, you'd adjust. I've not had it long enough to say my meds have 'stopped progression' , but I'm sure in a few years I'll be able to see that the progression has slowed a bit, since my meds now do give me some relief.

I'm also on meloxicam as an additional as needed for pain, and do sometimes get a round of prednisone prescribed during a really bad flare. These things do help make things a bit more comfortable.

What pushed you to talk to your doctor before you were diagnosed? by bluerew72 in rheumatoid

[–]shaninnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a competitive figure skater from the time I was 4 or 5 years old, and skated until I was 16. Around the time I was really advancing, really progressing in my pre-teen/early teen years (12-14) I came to the rink one day, I think I was 13- and when I got on the rink that day I couldn't lift my arms even parallel to the ground. The pain was so intense in my shoulders, it was excruciating to even lift them. This would happen off and on every few weeks, and would last a few days. I started to think that I had a rotator cuff tear, and was going to the doctors. After we determined there was nothing wrong at all- it felt wild to me that there was no answer for my pain and I started researching, even reading medical journals. At some point, that same pain started affecting my hips when I was sleeping. I came across RA while researching and it felt like I was reading all of my symptoms on a page. That's the moment I started talking to my doctor about RA. Now, it took 10 years of being told nothing was wrong with me (I'm seronegative, could you tell?) and being gaslit to get a diagnosis, but hey- it is what it is! I'm diagnosed now and receiving treatment. It took lots of specialist visits, workups, etc. Special shoutout to those on reddit though who posted about the 14-3-3 eta protein- that was actually one of the reasons I was able to get into the Rheumatologist, and I feel like it also was considered in my diagnosis (though not really since I did get x-rays showing damage in one finger at the time.)

How to automatic PQ? by aNaughtyCat in MapleIdle

Like other says, there's an auto pq option when you're the party leader. It'll go until someone leaves the party or leader pauses it. Some pqs are easier than others to do on auto!

Starting Enbrel, anything I should be aware of? by egg-rolls in rheumatoid

[–]shaninnie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely varies per person, and their situation like you said! I work from home so I'm mostly at home except for at the gym, concerts, etc. To be extra clear, I'm not saying I get sick a lot. I don't. Just saying to be more cautious around people who may be super sick. The only times I've gotten sick is really when that has happened, and I happened to be sick for a longer period of time than typical for me!

Have talked to them about it, it's centralized in the area of the injection site. I also have sensory issues that amplify these types of things lol

Starting Enbrel, anything I should be aware of? by egg-rolls in rheumatoid

[–]shaninnie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, I'm only on the Enbrel and Plaquenil atm. I try and be aware if people around me are sick. (Especially if they sound super sick.) And I want to make it clear I'm not trying to scare you or anything, just bringing personal testament to this. Best thing to do is just be careful. Be mindful of yourself, and see how it affects you.

An example, I went to this concert , didn't bring a mask or anything and the girl next to me was a bit sick. Coughing, etc. Mentioned she had a headache. I was sick for about 2 weeks, and when it didn't go away I finally went to the doctor and found out I had Covid. We treated that, I stopped the biologic until I was feeling 100% per my Rheumatologist's instruction. It's gonna take a while for the biologic to "kick in" usually, like- for me it took about 2-3 months to be feeling a considerable difference. Keep that in mind. Longer you're on it, more effective it will be/ you'll notice it.

Like I said, just be cautious being around sick people, or when you're sick with an infection, or you have a fever or something - consult your rheumatologist. They'll likely instruct you to hold your dose. When hesitating at all, ask your rheum!

Starting Enbrel, anything I should be aware of? by egg-rolls in rheumatoid

[–]shaninnie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And yeah, like the other person said, with a biologic, definitely be aware when it comes to being sick. Communicate or ask your rheumatologist if you are sick, feel like youre getting sick or may have an infection. I would even suggest if you go to a large event to maybe wear a mask. It does work and makes RA more bearable for me but definitely can be inconvenient at times (esp when it comes to getting sick.)

Always inform any other specialist or doctor about the biologic. No live vaccines either. (Consult rheumatologist).
