Anyone taking or have taken the test who is migrane prone? I tend to get (relatively) painless ocular migranes where my vision gets blocked for upwards of 45 minutes. I can see in the peripherals in emergencies so that's OK.

The thing is, it leaves me feeling messed up all day after until I hit the hay. I'm afraid it'll happen on test day. It's one thing to go partially blind it's another to feel foggy head pressure the rest of the exam/day.

Any recommendations for a personal trainer? Looking for someone for 1:1 classes in South Boston. Thanks

Mental Health, inherited or choice? I am finding myself struggling with processing that ADD, Depression, or Bipolar is a chemical imbalance in the brain vs. behavioral therapy. The best analogy given to me is you would treat diabetics with insulin so why not consider prescriptions to help mental health. 2020 has thrown more at me than I’m able to handle. Has anyone here noticed a significant improvement after a prescription to help psych issues?

I have IBS but it’s much worse when I eat out. Even when I order healthier options . Creams and dairy to bother me also . Do enzymes or dairy ease products work?

Anyone a manager? I’m recently diagnosed (26F) and I can’t help but beat myself up everytime I fall short of my to do list. Makes me feel like a huge disservice to my team. I’ve been trying vitamin D and working out, but it makes my “highs” and “low” SO extreme. The simplest things are so complex in my mind.

If anyone feels similar, how do you manage these feelings? I’m personally considering switching to an individual contributor role, but can’t help but feel like a disappointment if I do.

Is it me or do some of these diets sound like eating disorders? I do IF to help not snack before bed, but then there’s OMAD, AFD (alternate day fasting) etc. it just sounds as sophisticated starvation

My father had a sever case of Covid and he made it out successfully. I’m very grateful for this.

Is it true that most personal trainers at commercial gyms aren’t great? Or is that a misconception? I’ve heard this from a few people and I’ve also had a couple bad experiences.

Been keto for 6 months and feel great. But friends and colleagues constantly keep nagging about “arteries might be clogged”. Has anyone here had their bloodwork tested?

Taking my REG retake in one week. Got a 71 the last time. I purchased ninja and was planning on drilling MCQ, sims, and reading ninja notes for the next week. Do you guys think this will be sufficient?

Anyone waiting for scores today?

Used Gliem for Reg and Roger for BEC and Aud. Really liked Roger though but heard its not good enough for Far.
Please recommend any good review course for FAR

Taking FAR soon! Currently reviewing the book and wanted to see if y’all had any advice on what modules/sections to cover more then others? Been hearing Gov/NFP is a big one. Anyone care to share what the exam was like for them and what it mainly covered?

Exam scores are up!
