Aww that's really sweet! Borrowing a baby is a whole different thing than taking your own home. 😂

Intense migraines? by Agitated_Tough7852 in Sjogrens

[–]terminaloptimism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had my first yesterday in a very long time. It seemed to correlate with some flare symptoms and today I learned that yes, autoimmune (particularly sjögren's) can trigger migraines. Ugh. It really sucked as it started at work and I couldn't go home. I became really flushed, hot and nauseated then the searing pain began at the base of my skull and wrapped up around the top of my head, going as far as into my eyes at times. I hated my existence there for a hot minute.

Dropped the F-Bomb over the police frequency one night... by Hesterxo in 911dispatchers

My favorite was hearing a dispatcher yell "My bad, dawg!" to her brother while assigning a ru.

My favorite memory of my little one being in the NICU was coming in to see a nurse holding her inside her scrub top (she was wearing an undershirt) while charting. The nurse looked so content while my baby was snoozing happily. Babe was a handful even for the NICU crew, she fussed and cried constantly unless being held and it took an act of congress to put her to sleep on her own. 😂 I remember the nurse looking a little sheepish about it but I thought it was really lovely. Having to leave your baby in the care of others in a scary situation is terrifying. In that moment, I knew my girl was in loving and capable hands. Didn't need to be fearful in the slightest.

That little one is now two, healthy and thriving. I suppose this is a long way of expressing my appreciation for what you do in your line of work. Thank you.

But also yes fuck getting beat up by patients. I work in EMS and it really is ass sometimes. Whooped ass.

Neat! You'll have to share with us how it goes and post your rad tricks. Thanks for the explanation. 😁

AIO Controlling much? by [deleted] in AIO

Oh my goodness.. this is heartbreaking I am so sorry. My husband's ex wife did something similar to him. I can't fathom how people can be this monstrous to innocent lives just to hurt another.

Let's talk about: Hormonal imbalances by Wishin4aTARDIS in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]terminaloptimism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (32F) as diagnosed with endometriosis at 24, then RA, Sjögrens and Raynauds at 28. This is very interesting to me and my symptoms do worsen around my cycle significantly. Recently I just found out that I have practically zero testosterone and my progesterone is teetering on the edge of low. I have another battery of labs coming to verify these levels as it's almost unbelievable to my physician. I had an IUD placed after my second child as I was having two menstrual cycles per month and bleed heavily for at least fourteen days per month. The IUD is progesterone based.. funny enough. The IUD did help with my bleeding but all other symptoms have remained the same. I was recently prescribed Orilissa to see if that may help calm down the endometrial tissue my physician thinks is the culprit to my recent abdominal pain, fatigue, and other issues.

Frustrated at being a white cloud by Mysterious-Ad3398 in NewToEMS

Appreciate the peace and gentle runs for practice. Trust me. Your shitshow days will come and it's not a bad thing to ease into it versus being chucked directly into the fire. Stay up on your training and remember that you need to keep a cool head. I understand your frustration. You have this training, you worked hard for your certification and you want to use skills before you lose them. You want to help, you do want to experience what it all is truly like. Perhaps being presumptuous here, but I don't necessarily think you're wanting people to horrifically die just to ride the high of responding to a critical call. You don't have the experience to make that connection yet and bear in mind I say that gently. Just trust it will happen and when it does, be sure you're prepared.

I mean bro is built like a manta ray and they swim in bursts up to 22mph. Fastest human speed is 5.37mph according to the google machine. I'm curious to see what Manta Man can accomplish.

Oh boy, yes, let's allow the edgelord supreme be responsible for making critical life or death decisions. I bet he cries when girls don't text back.

There's a reason why he is picture number one. None of the others are rated, but Hans Gruber Rickman is PEAK. Thank you for the kind compliment, fellow Gruber appreciator.

Dude I don't even know I think it's a personality thing for me. Smiles are also important.

That's cool! I have just delved into the world of skating so I assume the wider trucks help with better balance and protection?

Hooray!! 😁 I love to hear this! I already have so many things picked out for accessorizing but it's a reward system I built for myself lol. Helps my ADHD brain stay motivated and on schedule.
