Been there, done that! I keep a mini fan and a water bottle at my desk. Also, I try to schedule my more demanding patient interactions for the morning when my brain fog is a bit less intense. It's all about adapting and prioritizing self-care during those tough days.

I swear by black cohosh and maca root supplements. They've helped me tremendously with hot flashes and energy levels. Of course, talk to your doctor first, but don't be afraid to explore natural remedies for symptom relief.

I've found it helpful to be open with my colleagues and supervisor about what I'm going through. It's nothing to be ashamed of, and it's amazing how supportive people can be when you let them in. Plus, it takes the pressure off when you have an occasional brain fog moment!

I'm starting to realize that a lot of my life problems are from me trying to treat my depression with alcohol. This is the most sober I've been in a long time and generally I feel a lot better but it would be so easy to get drunk. Physically the consequences are what are keeping me from doing it. It makes me feel really good though and I miss the high, I am grateful that I can resist it now but at least temporarily it was a cure that worked it made me feel accepted and whole.

Hello all,

I'm a PA in the PNW working for a private group staffing ED's in several hospitals. Recently the group has asked the PA's to take on a couple new roles (triaging and rapid track from triage i.e. straightforward ESI 4, 5). With these changes the PA's are considering asking for increased pay in the form of an addition of a COLA (cost of living adjustment) to our normal salary. Was wondering if any other PA's in the ED have these in their contracts and at what rate.

-Thanks
