I took unisom for a week to avoid jet lag while traveling, and now I'm off it completely to not become dependent... And boy is it difficult to get even two good night's sleep in a row. Any tips on consistently sleeping better when you're trying to get off sleep aids?

(my sleep history this week: the one big night in the middle was the night I got back from the trip, and every night after that I haven't taken it)

Anyone know the hydroxychloroquine dosing being used for prophylaxis?

Who else needs a drink(s) right now?

I feel like the parts of ADHD that don't suck aren't talked about that much (and I need a reminder, desperately). The one thing I like is my ability (when I can get my brain to work) to focus hard and get something done in a short amount of time. If I'm really locked in, I can get a serious amount of work done fast. feel free to add yours (please lmao💀).

I hate my job, but I’m staying because of the money.

I’ve been a tech consultant for 4+ years and I’m good at it and I love the company I work at, but I noticed that I get really bad anxiety anytime I start a new project. I’m not sure if it from the role or from consulting but I always feel sick to my stomach and I feel like I’m not expanding my knowledge because I’m literally surviving everyday. Please what should I do? I want to quit but I also know theirs good money in tech. Please help!

Wedding coming up and while the Crest White Strips are effective, they hurt my teeth so much! Anyone used one of those LED kits? I hear they're supposed to be good for sensitive teeth.

One of my superiors said something racist about the coronavirus to me (I’m Chinese) and now I’ve just lost all respect for him.

This is probably a long shot.. but any OR RNs at Virginia hospital center in Arlington VA?

Has anyone else had long haul covid symptoms negatively affect your work? The brain fog and extreme fatigue make it very difficult. I find myself making “careless” mistakes, not because I’m being careless (I never used to be) but I just seem to miss things. How have you handled it? My fear is seniors and partners thinking I’m not reliable or that bright.

Just had my NIPT/Nuchal Translucency at 12w4d IVF pregnancy and the sonographer said everything looks fine but she wants me to come back in 5 weeks and then again a month later to do the scans again so she can get a clearer picture. She said baby is measuring slightly lower than it should, but it could be that doctors were a few days off on due date (is that a thing with IVF??). She also referred me to get a fetal echo at 20 weeks. Is this normal? I called OB, waiting for her to call me back.

Qualys is very bad company, nothing positive, only good thing medical insurance and 1 month np

I’m coming back to work from FMLA soon but when someone mentioned work, my face turned super hot and my whole body turned ice cold. I felt stuffy. I lost my trend of thought. Did not feel like dying though. I’m not sure if this is a panic attack? Is there medication that helps with this? Thank you!!

I wanted to start a thread. What vitamins / supplements / medications are you taking for your menopause symptoms? I’m supposed to take Estradiol pills twice per day but sometimes am horrible at remembering. I should be taking D3 per my Doctor but when I ran out earlier in the year I never bought more. The same goes for my multivitamin although I’m sure I really need one! I wonder if I should just use natural remedies like Black Cohosh, but that didn't work well for me.

I've been on the road non stop for the past year and this has led to a 15lbs added. What has helped you eat healthy on the road? I'm barely home and every meal is ordered on an app/eat at restaurant.

I AM/was a night owl, almost insomniac, bad habits of sleeping 4/5 hours, latest at 3am. But ever since turning 30 during quarantine, I've started to take afternoon naps, and now at 31, my eyes get tired after 11pm. Wth is this?!?! 😵‍💫💀😭 Anyone else too??

(No kids, but had restless nights lately) how would I even survive when I do have kids then... Lol

Did anyone take dexamethasone along with gonal and menopur shots? I am reviewing my plan and it has a pill everyday. I might have to ping my doctor for info as she didn’t discuss the need for it. Thanks.

Any Good Tips/ Suggestions for Honeymooning on Points?

Just found out my SO messed around with someone that works in the same company as me but different city and she knew he has a girlfriend. What should I do?

I’m expecting to go on maternity leave this summer, but I hate working at my current company. The work is uninspiring, the people are mediocre and I feel myself torn between quitting and finding a new job, but possibly losing paid leave, OR, sticking it out and taking mat leave then quitting. Any advice or insights?

Hi all, I have about 7 years of professional experience but only one year as a Customer Success Manager. I work on mid market accounts currently. I love my job, but would prefer to support a more robust platform that will allow me to add more value for my customers.

I’d appreciate your thoughts on what compensation you might expect for a CSM transitioning to a new company with one year of experience.

To clarify, I don’t have an offer yet, I’m just looking to make a move.

Thank you!

I am a 38 yo woman, always been very active (I run 20 miles/week), normal BMI, and eat healthy. I just had a routine blood test and while my HDL is 70 and triglycerides 53 (both good), my LDL is suddenly 132 (normal is up to 130). Any tips on what to do?

Does anyone know why I lose more weight when I eat 2000 calories vs when I eat 1200 calories? For reference, I am currently 5’7 F and 128 lbs. I cannot work out for another month due to an expiring CPA exam so I am definitely losing muscle mass.

When I calorie count, I account for every little thing such as the vegetable oils or the tbs of salt. The 1200 calories is usually an extremely large meal + fruits + soup. The 2000 calories is usually a meal from a restaurant + fruits + a sandwich.

So tired at work today, how do you manage to stay awake on difficult days?
