I am in the process of evaluating how to continue for my wrongful termination claim. NYC, New York, USA.

**Background/Timeline:**

* I was involved in a car accident causing chronic pain. I attended medical treatment and physical therapy during my employment. * **I** worked remotely during my recovery. Months later, I informed my manager I could not attend a required onsite meeting because I was physically unable to travel. My manager reacted with frustration and annoyance. * A few months after that interaction, I was terminated during a layoff. My most recent performance review was "good," and I believe the layoff was pretextual, as a peer with less tenure on the project was retained. * I have received an EEOC Right to Sue letter. My 90-day filing window expires in approximately a week and a half. * My employment contract contains a mandatory arbitration agreement. My current counsel is only retained for pre-litigation negotiations and has explicitly stated they will not represent me in formal arbitration. The choice of law is new york and I don't think current counsel is even licensed for new york. * The employer is currently offering only the basic severance small amount and nothing beyond that. 15k. I have interviewed a handful of new york attorneys on the phone to find someone for the arbitration, most just decline it and say it's not something their firm can handle right now. I have not find anyone that can represent me. I don't know how strong my case is on merits. I have not tried looking for an hourly lawyer, that could be slightly less difficult but I heard rates of 750$ an hour so it's expensive if Im not even sure my case has chance of winning in arbitration.

So basically I am trying to evaluate weather it's worth filing pro se to extend the deadline and hope to god I can find counsel, I have no legal experience, or accept their their low 15k severance. To complicate things further, I am living far from new york now since being layed off, so if I do anything it would have to be remotely.

If you touch the plunger during reconstitution, do you have to toss the vial?

I reconstitution using 1ml insulin syringe, small.

Because of the suction, I guided the plunger with fingers obviously.

Target was 2 ml, so pushed the plunger back in and drew another 1 ml BAC, and did it again.

It then occured to me that I might have introduced contamination on the plunger. I can't seem to find any posts on Reddit about this issue. I guess most people just use large enough syringes from the beginning.

Is it salvagable with a filter or ok without a filter? It's KLOW, expensive and difficult for me to get now

So I tested and had high homocystene and I have SIBO.

I immediately started taking high dose b12 sublingual and a b complex. Both the methyl kind. I did this for about a week. I was doing 5000mcg b12 about x3 a day

I normally sleep a lot, 10 hours ish

I noticed the insomnia which is rare for me. Trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. Averaging 3 hours and having to try to force naps. It was hell so I asked myself what changed, and then I search this sub to find that insomnia is a side effect of b12 supplemention.

So I stopped the supplemention, this was like 5 days ago.

Well I'm still waking up early, averaging 3 hours, waking up a bit restless and alert so quickly

Side note... this effect sometimes happens to me when I take even a small dose of melatonin, I will wake up earlier. But I'm not taking melatonin now

I feel like whatever controls my sleep was broken. Has anyone experienced? Is this a wake up symptom? Why has it not stopped, is it related to b12 if it stays after stopping the supplement?

I have had bloating and treatment resistant SIBO, slow motility and hard stools. Also fatigue.

I have been testing and trying every therapy for SIBO. I did a 2 week elemental diet. Bloating did not reduce.

I recalled a long time ago, as part of mental health work up, I had the methyl gene tested and it was positive for something

So I asked doc for homocysteine test and it was... Slightly elevated?

Reading of 23, reference range normal is less than 15. Is that high ? Note however this was with a few days of supplementing activated b12 before the blood draw because I didn't want to wait.

Does this mean I need b12 shots ? Or sublingual is ok?

When can I expect my gut to feel better.

After just a few days of b12 I feel...like my stress response is a bit elevated, not very comfy, is that normal

I am constantly bloated/distended and it is driving me mad. For 5 years it's been this way, 99p of the time, but it gets worse through out the day as I fill up and less in the morning.

I finished 14 days of peptamen whey based elemental diet plus some added MCT oil. Then I added chicken and eggs to the diet for 5 days, and since then I have reintroduced low fodmap cooked vegetables for a few days, so I'm on day 21 and I'm still bloated.

I'm also taking 1 mg prucalopride and 1000mg ginger a day. And also taking megaspore and boulardii since I finished first 14 days of the diet.

In the past I have tried many things including rifaxim multiple times and herbals. Tried a bunch of different probiotics also and other supplements

I rarely hear my stomach being loud so I thought maybe I have a motility problem but no idea why. I had pelvis MRI and enterography with no obvious findings from the typical radiologist.

What the **** is going on ?

I'm on day 13 of elemental with near zero bloat improvement.

AI told me that if I lay on my back and the bulge disappears, then it's APD.

Is it true or no. I do look skinny when I lie on back

I've been having some bleeding with BM for 5 months but the pain was mildish. Never had problem sleeping.

Finally get it checked yesterday. Doctor did a proctoscopy. It was only for a second but I cried with pain. Then after the pain seemed to die down until night and then it became really loud.

He found a pea sized hemmerhoid and a small tear, according to him.

Well now the fissure is much more painful and idk what to do. It took many hours and Tylenol to fall asleep last night. It feels much worse and I'm afraid a BM might send me the hospital or infect an open wound

I've been on a liquid diet anyway trying to treat SIBO but only doing that for 2 more days

Will I be ok ? What should I do
