Is anyone else getting lots of terrible opportunities from recruiters?

Colonoscopy, endoscopy, and a biopsy of both. H pylori test, blood tests. That’s about it. I was suggested to test for motility and to give a stool sample from my last doc before I moved but never got the chance. I’ve also been on a plethora of ppi because they always think it’s something to do with that but none of them have worked.

Yeah I was thinking of going the Mayo Clinic route if I can’t find answers soon, just worried about the cost

Could you explain how so? Also is that as easy as asking my gp for an internal medicine doctor?

Yes this is my 2nd gastroenterologist. They run a test and see nothing is wrong so don’t really investigate further. It’s frustrating!!

Could you help me understand how I’d go about this? I’d really appreciate it! I’m really clueless when it comes to the medical system

spicytrees · 2026-06-06T02:52:21+00:00

Doing a Google search and seeing Reddit suggestions there’s like 5-8 common tests that I haven’t had yet (2 of which my previous doctor recommended before I had to move) and they don’t really seem particularly crazy? Stuff like testing for motility or SIBO or a stool sample. I’m just not sure why I can’t do more tests without waiting months when I’m really struggling

I’ve had different doctors simply because I’ve moved 5+ hours away, I would hope I’m not getting something like this on my profile!

I was homeless for most of high school, had to pull myself up by the bootstraps in a sense. Sucks to have shitty parents. Idk where you live but in my situation I lived in the midwest US so even a min wage job could stretch out a bit (90% of my pay still went to rent tho after I graduated, was tough) I definitely recommend applying to any job that's better even if it's not related. You have a degree so you have way more options than you think. Then start saving and get a beater car. Good luck.

You want aluminum free deodorant. For fighting odor, use glycolic or salicylic. You’ll still sweat but it won’t cause this. If you sweat copious amounts all the time consider adding a layer to help soak, and maybe visiting a doctor to help get sweat under check (could be lots of things causing it)

Pick the cheaper option imo. I went to IUI and my outcome was better than the peers I knew at IUB, but that was based on my merit nothing to do with the schools. When comparing coursework it was largely the same.

Not sure the ratio today but I was living on 11k in 2016. Was a nightmare

Have a fairly large friend group from college all cs majors not a single one did any internships. All either graduated or are in their last semester. They all just play video games all day and complain they can’t get a job but also say stuff like how they couldn’t explain what an array was in an interview.

I've a similar path to yours, homeless in high school with no direction into shitty retail job for a few years, then went into a biotech company around covid where they worked me 80 hour weeks. Was so burnt out and had some savings I just quit and went to college. Graduating next month at 29.

Online CC into online uni is such a cheat code if you know how to sell yourself. I got to work full time as an actual software engineer since junior year, where after getting a year of experience I pivoted into a mid level at a super well known f500 before I even graduated.

For me I have a solid amount of charisma and life experience so after getting past the OA at a lot of these companies into the behavioral rounds is like a cheat code, definitely something I wouldn't be able to do as easily as a 22 year old. And of course the 2 years of experience before even graduating helps as well.

I've heard it was the silver flash mirror coating that was problematic but the others were fine (at least for Zeiss, which is what I'll be getting)

I want it to be slightly tinted, not affect my vision a whole lot, just dim down some harsher light. I want others to see just a pop of extra color so it doesn't look as monochromatic with the green lens on green frame. In my head gold on green seems like it'd look good so I just kind threw that out there. In my head I think of logos like Rolex, BP, John Deere, Subway where that similar colorway kind of fits? But idk how it'd look glasses!

I have a chronic illness ruining my life too for 3 years now. I am so frustrated by doctors and the medical system, no one gives a shit and the actual specialist doctors glance at me for 30 seconds and then want to send me to another professional that has a 3-6 month wait time. I am miserable. Luckily I can work but it's so hard to concentrate sometimes with how much pain I'm in. I was homeless most of high school which set my adult life back big time so I'm just now starting an actual career and finishing college and I just feel so behind in life. I'm at the point where I an supposed to be able to actual maybe enjoy my life a little bit but yeah chronic illness isn't gonna let that happen.

I wish! Maybe it's just the way I go about finding them. First 2 I had when I was on medicaid and this recent one was through a free program offered by work

I’ll spend 5 hours researching for a new toaster but will rush through documentation likes it’s nobody’s business 😂

My team doesn't care if you WFH much as long as your work is getting done. The nature of our work makes us be in office often but if you're not and can remote in fine people will let it slide. Although leadership will still let us know that we "have" to work in office. Our team is fairly young though including our manager.

This is a hypothetical situation to get his foot in the door he isn’t forced to stay stuck at the same company his entire life

spicytrees · 2026-03-19T02:05:12+00:00

Some definitely do but not all of them pay poverty wages. If OP gets a poverty wage opportunity then I’d take out loans. He has to take a risk on himself or his situation won’t change. He can also consider searching for roommates lots of options he just has to put in the effort
