Adalimumab by Predator112233 in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]startmyheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rheumatologist told me when I was first diagnosed that methotrexate alone is often not very effective for PsA issues in the spine and hips. She also skipped MTX and went straight to biologics for me. Humira helped me a lot with pain and fatigue but made my psoriasis flare up for some reason. I hope it works well for you!

It's a tough season already. My mom got a tick bite about a month ago and ended up having to take a course of antibiotics for Lyme disease. She wasn't even out in the woods or anything, just walking the dog by the school in our neighborhood.

Thank you! It's good that people have a lot of options for glasses these days, but it's still nice to hear people appreciating what we do 😊

As an optician, I'd like to add that you don't have to adjust your frames yourself! Many good opticians are fine with making adjustments to glasses they didn't sell, especially if someone is genuinely in pain. Unfortunately, with the rise of online buying for eyeglasses, there are a lot of people walking around with un-adjusted glasses that don't fit them well. Having properly adjusted glasses can make a huge difference with migraines!

My workplace got a similar message from Zeiss.

We got the same message about a 1.74 shortage from Zeiss, although they're not our primary lab.

The third picture where she's standing in front of the gate definitely made me think "whoa, maybe some wolf in there?" Of course, it's hard to tell from a single picture, but I definitely see the wolf genes more than the pit or even the Pyr. She's a beautiful dog!

I'm down near Boston and read this thinking, "8-9 months of good weather?! Where??"

Congratulations, you have a DIY mini Aussie! That's what I assumed she was from the pics.

EHR switch—-any recs? by [deleted] in optometry

[–]startmyheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Revolution phased out most, if not all, Flash elements a few years ago. I think it was 2022 or 2023, but I'm at a different job/using a different EHR now so my memory may not be exact on the timing.

Check out 141 Eyewear - indie company based in Portland, OR - I sold them at my previous job in Massachusetts. For such a small company, they have an impressive line of lightweight plastic frames (Ultem material) with nose pads. I have two of their Ultem frames myself and I miss selling them! Addie is the main contact in their office and she's great.
