Hi! Does anyone know why she doesn’t discuss Aveda products?
I have been using them for decades! Took a break for a bit & got a terrible dye job that damaged my hair. So I found her method and have been using the products she recommended.
But thinking of going back to Aveda, the products just go really well with my hair type….
I wasn’t sure if there was a reason she didn’t include Aveda.

If anyone has good Aveda substitutions advice please lmk!

I was thinking Invati, Botanical Repair, the new all in one elixir, and nutriplenish? Keeping k18 in the mix. I really don’t like the glosses she recommends so I skip that. Elizavecca is awesome so keep that. I didn’t like Epres (but botanical repair is bond repair)….

Anyone else rejected by Mayo Clinic to be a patient. Like what??? That’s so weird.

Anyhow - I’m looking for a second opinion, fresh set of eyes.

Where have yall had good experiences (in the US). I have pretty good insurance so coverage isn’t an issue.
I have adrenergic dysautonomia

Thanks!

I can’t do this anymore
I have been working so hard and have come such a long way
My work is definitely going to fire me for discriminatory and retaliatory reasons.
My lawyer predicted it.
They’re making vague comments about my “attitude” and “behavior”. Like I’m not chatty enough. Like yeah cuz I can’t breathe and I have chest pain.
I don’t want to be here anymore. I just dont want to exist. Why work so hard if this is how it ends up (my work made me sicker & prevented from getting better)
I worked hard to improve my health so i could land on the other side. But im still sick and now im being treated terribly.
I cant sustain the abuse any longer.

I had family members who died of covid & I wish I could switch place with them. They are so missed.

I even told my dog im sorry I wont be around anymore.

I just dont know what to do

I have to admit when I have been working all day, hungry, thirsty, tired, chat pain, palpitations, and due for meds - I might not be friendly. I might even be a bit short and cross. But like, wtf can I do? (Don’t even bring up work accommodations because that’s a farce where I work.)

I don’t think it’s fair when you are pushing through and “being resilient” to get criticism for minor things.

I was told I made someone feel “unwelcome”. I said how? They said I rolled my eyes. Like 1. That’s ridiculous. 2. I probably closed my eyes and took a deep breath to center myself. Like sorry you don’t feel welcome but my job isn’t in hospitality????

I hate this and I want to die. I don’t know how much longer I can do this. What is the point of feeling terrible every single day? And then getting criticized because you aren’t chipper while feeling that way? What am I even doing anymore? What is the end game???? I don’t have kids so like, I’m doing this just to continue to experience misery forever? I don’t get it.

For anyone who works from home - is there any specific office chair you have used that you found helped/didn’t worsen your symptoms?

I find that my body is very sore after sitting in a regular chair all day. I think mostly because I’m pretty deconditioned and have lost a lot of muscle mass from LC. But it’s exhausting to sit in them all day even after taking several break.
Thanks :)
