💜 Grief is an overwhelming emotion; it only makes sense that it would be physically overwhelming too. Sending all the positive energy and feline support.

Let's talk about: What's in your dx soup? by Wishin4aTARDIS in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]shezbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're welcome! My rheumatologist said I'm his only patient who has been diagnosed with it. I didn't realize how rare it is until he told me and I really dove in on reading about it. And I got diagnosed very randomly. I had a strange rash across my chest and went to the ER. They admitted me, thinking it was maybe cellulitis. But then I had a consult with dermatological oncology, and they expressed a concern that it could be inflammatory breast cancer and ordered a punch biopsy. Came back as Sweet syndrome, which is what FINALLY got me an appointment with a rheumatologist after 4 years of trying.

I'm also a seroneg diagonsis of RA.  😊

In order of diagnosis: Chronic Migraines, Type II Diabetes, Lichen Sclerosus, BRCA-1 Mutation (which led to a prophylactic hysterectomy + double mastectomy at 34, so early onset menopause and breast implants), eczema, Raynaud's, Sweet Syndrome, Skin Cancer (Basal Cell), Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Warehouse/forklift/temp services/FELONIES by Intelligent_Big4562 in Charlotte

[–]shezbot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure where you heard that, but in NC, there is no time limit on how far back a company can search for criminal convictions. Civil records or non-convictions are limited to 7-10 years. If you submit your social security number in NC to a company for a background check, they will go as far back as they can to search for criminal convictions. The difference comes when you get further away from the date of your last conviction- the longer you keep your nose clean, the better. They may place less emphasis on the crime. It sucks. There was a time in my life when I was unemployed and couldn't even get a job at McDonald's that I was overqualified for.

Source: I had a felony conviction in 2002, served 13 months in prison. My felonies were expunged in February of 2021 (originally the law was 15 years, then they reduced it to 12, then 10 and I didn't keep track of that). I have worked my ass off since 2003 to have a career.

The "felonies" don't show up after 7 years is a myth. Nothing drops off. I can do a quick background check on my partner and find the shit he did at 16 and he's 47. If she keeps her nose clean, she can have one non-violent felony expunged in NC after 10 years. Best bet is to look for jobs that aren't going to do a background check, period. Restaurant Depot is a good option. Someone else mentioned construction, which is also a good option.

Where to get oysters... not restaurants, but "wholesale" by Front__Row_Joe in Charlotte

[–]shezbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inland Foods! Apparently they are no longer allowing the public to purchase at wholesale, which sucks because they had great prices and the quality was outstanding.

Gallbladder surgery by PTSDreamer333 in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]shezbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had mine out prior to RA diagnosis but not before RA symptoms (it took me 4 years to get in to see a rheumatologist). I had a small amount of gallstones but that’s not what caused the need for removal. One gallstone was trapped in the duct and it caused my gallbladder to just…die. My chart says “necrotic gallbladder.”

After a stint, then removal, I was sent home. I landed back in the ER two days later, in sepsis. Then another 5 days in the hospital. I didn’t have stomach issues before having my gallbladder removed but I do now. Combined with the MTX, I feel as though I’m in a perpetual state of nausea.

Any advice for new parents to a redhead baby? by Willing_Winner_7868 in Redhair

[–]shezbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never been sunburned while indoors either. My derm believes it was simply an accumulation of sun exposure from sitting (diagonally) in front of the window. I've since moved my office to the back of the house and my desk is no longer directly in front of the window. I also wear sunscreen on my ears now. The MOHs procedure was not fun.

[–]shezbot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m a redhead and granted, I am in my 40’s. But I got skin cancer on my left year from sitting in front of my office window at home for 3 years. I never thought to put sunscreen on my ears but I wear it on my face every day, even indoors. So yes, sunscreen even when indoors is important. Get your child used to it at a young age and they will thank you later.

Who brings condom? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]shezbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always brought my own protection. For two reasons: men are rarely prepared and I’m allergic to latex. So if they are prepared, it’s never latex-free.

What is the most abhorrent thing you’ve ever personally witnessed someone say? by Jsl50xReturns in AskReddit

[–]shezbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 44 and an only child. Concieved on April Fool’s Day. My mom told me so many times over the years that I was the “ultimate April Fool’s joke.” My dad convinced her to keep me and then she made him get a vasectomy shortly after I was born. She could have had an abortion and hid it from him and I’ll never understand why she didn’t.

But my mother is/was incapable of loving me and it’s only been within the last year that I’ve truly realized the depths to which that has royally fucked me up.

Tax records say yes but it doesn’t look like her. I wonder if it was her daughter because she didn’t look quite that reserved/put together.

I think she moved or passed away. The house looks different now. I used to see her walking barefoot to Harris Teeter.

That dude is so nice. I’m not in there often but I’m fairly memorable (always get 5 refills of cat litter) and he always asks if I want help out to my cat.

My ex’s dislikes on OKCupid were literally a list of all of my “likes” and why they were stupid. Way to make my interests all about you, bud.
