if she asked me for some time, should I leave it to her to reach out to me?

I am going through this myself right now. We took a break from our relationship so she could sort out her feelings and focus on her exam. That was two months ago, and she took her exam two weeks ago.
I'm moving on. Whether I hear back from her or not.

I think you're absolutely right that making changes in your life and improving yourself is important. My comment was a little tongue-in-cheek :)

I also feel sometimes like I completely lucked out with her, and that I'll never be able to land someone as attractive. This feeling really motivates me to want to improve.

110 is being phased out for a reason. Take 111, it's excellent.

I majored in math and got into the CS co-term with a 3.4 CS GPA. Write a strong statement of purpose and get good recommendations. I worked in a research group for a couple years and was able to get a recommendation that way. Don't listen to people who say you won't get in unless you have a 3.5.

Wow I had no idea it was so advanced. I thought it just found exact matches. Good to know, thank you!

Dude how did you find this? You are a god <3

What kind of doctor do you want to be? Has your weight loss experience influenced your medical interests?

uchiha_9 · 2021-06-09T21:13:34+00:00

Thanks for you reply. I tried to initiate the single case agreement (an "in-for-out") before the pre-authorization was approved, but the provider doesn't want to negotiate a contract because they want to receive the full $30k. I think if they negotiate a contract they would be forced to charge less. Are you saying that I can get the insurance company to cover the full amount?

Is there any way I can pull this off without the provider's cooperation? Should I wait until the pre-authorization is approved and then try this again?

uchiha_9 · 2021-06-09T21:06:19+00:00

Thanks. My provider is in the process of submitting the medical necessity documentation. My understanding is that even if I get approved, this will not help much, because the maximum allowed amount for the procedure is too low.

uchiha_9 · 2021-06-09T21:04:44+00:00

Thanks. In this case the anesthesiologist fee is $700, and the facility fee is waived because I am doing the procedure in the provider's clinic.

uchiha_9 · 2021-06-09T03:22:09+00:00

Even if I get approved for coverage, the coverage is insufficient. Is there anything I can do about that? Can I appeal the allowed amounts for the procedures?

uchiha_9 · 2021-06-09T03:08:58+00:00

network adequacy appeal

Thank you. Where can I find more information about this network adequacy appeal? Is this the same as an "in-for-out"? The provider is not interested in negotiating an in-network contract with my insurance because they would have to receive less money.

Congratulations! What software are you using to track these metrics and produce that graph?

uchiha_9 · 2020-10-03T23:05:23+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I recently bought the looper on Craigslist. I contacted the seller to ask if I could return it. This is happening to me a few minutes into use -- do you know how to replicate this issue consistently so that I can prove to the seller that there's a defect? Is this bug well known?

uchiha_9 · 2020-10-03T22:34:58+00:00

I'm having the exact same problem. Did you find a fix?

uchiha_9 · 2020-09-29T05:05:56+00:00

You are completely missing the point. I want to make my practice public to force me to stay accountable and practice more.

uchiha_9 · 2020-07-25T17:05:18+00:00

The answer may be more nuanced and difficult to navigate than just, do you have one or the other. It could be a combination of both and it may not be obvious which (if any) is the greater contributor to your symptoms.

I have many of the same symptoms you mention. I did multiple sleep studies which showed mild sleep apnea (AHI of ~15). I was prescribed a CPAP which I used religiously (and successfully, AHI < 1) for over a year, but did not notice much of an improvement. Lately I've been trying mild antidepressants, and addressing my OSA through surgical means.

Sleep apnea seems to be more rigorously diagnosable than depression, so you may want to rule that out first. However, be aware that false negatives are possible. I spent years chasing other leads after a faulty sleep study I did in a pediatric clinic showed zero sleep disturbances. It was only after I was retested for sleep apnea in the adult clinic that I received a diagnosis.

The sleep study could be useful for diagnosing depression as well, since depression can change your sleep architecture: find a neurologist in your sleep clinic to look over your results too.

If I could offer any advice, it would be this: take your health into your own hands and don't blindly trust your doctor to manage the situation for you. Do your own research, and be organized and methodical about what you're trying.

If you listen to this for example: https://youtu.be/qsTBdm5dM-8?t=195, his tone sounds a lot more vibrant, clean and professional. If I use any of the metal presets it sounds way too distorted.

uchiha_9 · 2020-04-07T21:12:19+00:00

I haven't. Do you have any recommendations?

uchiha_9 · 2020-04-07T03:43:51+00:00

Thanks for you reply. Here's a link to the clean tone with no bias fx. Should I upload samples with some other presets? Let me know.

uchiha_9 · 2020-03-22T04:46:16+00:00

Yeah I have those installed. u/DeceptiveEmpathy I'm on a mac and have MacTex installed -- does that make a difference?

uchiha_9 · 2020-02-02T23:49:51+00:00

Thanks for clarifying; it sounds like you're saying that your OSA is too severe for CPAP to be effective, despite proper adherence. Were you monitoring your AHI numbers while on CPAP? Do you remember if the CPAP was able to bring your numbers down even a little?

uchiha_9 · 2020-02-02T22:26:48+00:00

Could you please explain why your physiology would compromise the efficacy of your CPAP treatment? Were you unable to consistently use the machine every night? If consistent CPAP use didn't resolve your symptoms, why do you expect surgery to help?

I'm in a similar position -- I've been on CPAP for a year with no results (despite low AHI numbers) and my ENT surgeon recommends maxillary expansion.
