I’ve been on the same dose of Vyvanse since fall 2019. It still works. I notice a difference when I don’t take it. But I think I miss the rush I used to get when I would feel my meds kick in — like I could handle anything and I knew my meds were working. That plus the hyper focus that was still within my control (not the time blindness hyper focus where you fixate). Does anyone still get that? Is it worth trying to change my meds? Or is this just what it feels like to be “normal” now?

Is it too much to ask a home health company for someone to shadow/orient? I was just hired PRN and that was something I asked for during the hiring process and the recruiter agreed. Never heard back and it’s been several weeks yet keep getting texts from the schedule if office to see patients. Is this typical for home health or a red flag? I have only worked in SNF and acute so I am new to HH plus this company specializes in lymphedema therapy. I am a CLT but want just a little but of training.

I had an amniocentesis performed at 16 weeks and found out today (19.5 weeks) that the chromosome analysis and microarray to test for microdeletions came back normal. Had they not come back normal, I would have aborted. I am distraught that others will not have this choice now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade.

Started Zoloft a little over a month ago. I’ve been taking it around 9am with breakfast. It’s helped me a lot so far with anxiety and mood. But it’s making me so tired. I go to bed around 10-10:30 and naturally wake up around 7. But I find I wake up often during the night which makes me not have restful sleep. Should I try taking it in the evening? During the day I’m usually very tired by noon and wanting to nap.

Hot take: BMI is relevant to the vast majority of people. No, it is not the only metric we go by to measure health, but it does give you a general idea of where you stand if you're the average Joe Schmoe.

Yes, I know there are gym rats and body builders who would not be considered in the "normal" BMI ranges, however, we're talking about the outliers. How many of you can truly say you fall into that category? Cause I for one can't.

Let's stop lying to ourselves and eat healthier/hit the gym.

Just here to say I’m so thankful we have this safe space.
