I find it so hard to connect with patients with things like chronic pain or fatigue. Disease just feels so obscure and multifactorial to me

Which kinds of patients do you find it easier to connect to then?

As someone who struggles with non-medicated chronic pain, all I want is for someone to find out what exactly is wrong and the best way to fix it not cover it up. That said, compassion fatigue is real. Have you tried asking how the illness has impacted their life and how many providers have really tried to get to the bottom of their issue?

I can understand that. I have fibromyalgia myself so I can easily relate to people with similar circumstances. Its def not easy to understand if you don't experience it yourself.

It can be really hard to understand if you don't deal with it yourself. One of the reasons I wanted to go into healthcare was to help other people (like me) who have dealt with mysterious chronic pain for years have someone who understands them able to help them.

I might need a little bit more context but I agree with the point of diseases being mutli-factorial. I think lifestyle is a huge variable for it.

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

I want to do work that makes a difference. ☹️
