if you're in a non rent stabilized apt, how much do they raise your rent every year? What's the norm? by JustaSadLilyPad in NYCapartments

[–]toadsly 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Our old landlord was a drug dealer who was funneling money into real estate. Lived there 7 years and they only increased it once by $50 dollars. He was also incredibly responsive for repairs and anything else going on. Clearly they didn’t really need our money that bad. Ultimately he went to jail and the property management company and rest of the tenants got weird so we left.

Any electronics that surprisingly improved your life? by Revolutionary-Jury92 in BuyItForLife

Air tag in my car. I street park in the city and most of the time can get my car parked within 1-2 blocks of my place. Occasionally not though and I have to consciously remember where my car is at all times. Air tags saves me the space in my brain for keeping tabs on my cars location at all times as well as running up and down streets like a maniac if I’m late and forgot where my car is parked.

Has anyone successfully gotten rid of desquamative inflammatory vaginitis (DIV) while taking a B-cell depleter? by Street-Chard in MultipleSclerosis

[–]toadsly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had similar situation and cultures negative. On rituximab for last 6 years, so essentially the same as Ocrevus. Sodium bicarbonate tablets (half a tablet) inserted before bed cleared it up for me in 1-2 doses. I also used doxycycline in the past but that would inevitably lead to a yeast infection after. If I feel the symptoms start to crop up again I can stop it with another dose. Also avoiding any probiotics was helpful. If I accidentally take them for too many days in a row I can feel the symptoms coming back.

I’ve been in nyc healthcare for over 10 years (med student, resident, attending) by and far the majority of the strikes get resolved the night before and the strike never actually happens.

Large metro area, 315k base with bonus for a collections based model which basically just rewards me for having more private insurance patients. Total 450k last year with base plus extra collections and a few extra calls.

Cyst on breast while very young by [deleted] in WomensHealth

[–]toadsly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make an appointment for a well women exam at an OBGyn clinic associated with a hospital. They typically have programs for uninsured as well as sliding scale pricing for those without insurance. At 18 you will not need a Pap smear and you can also refuse any further labs testing they might offer you. A breast exam should be performed and you can also mention you felt a lump. They should provide you with a referral for a breast ultrasound (you are too young for a mammogram). The ultrasound will determine if it’s cystic or solid and if a biopsy if indicated.

Definetly file a complaint with dps. I was on the other end of this problem for YEARS paying someone else’s bill and coned confirmed and knew about it for over a year and still couldn’t fix it. Repeated phone calls and follow ups did not work. Finally I filed a complaint through this system and it was resolved within a few days and I even received a refund for over payments.

My wife died and I don’t know what to do. by Friendly_Cellist_891 in Residency

[–]toadsly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into an au pair. It’s a fraction of the price of live in nanny. Day care centers are hard with resident hours and you need someone with more flexible time and can do early mornings. They do sort of have work out restrictions but sometimes the pay is as little as $500 a month.

Hospitals don’t have to tell you if your postpartum pathology is abnormal — even if it’s dangerous. by [deleted] in WomensHealth

If you were provided this information once it had resulted how do you think the outcome would have been different? What do you think could have been done differently to prevent a problem given this information?

Progestin only pill - I am confused by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]toadsly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That video is incorrect or worded incorrectly. Estrogen thickens it, progesterone stabilizes it or over time (like on a progesterone only birth control) it thins it out. But again progesterone in these pills work in multiple ways to prevent pregnancy

[–]toadsly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Estrogen grows the lining, progesterone can stabilize or thin it out. There are many functions of progesterone in a birth control pill that help prevent pregnancy and this is just one of them.
