Hi everyone
Have a bit complicated question regarding conversion and adoption.
I’m Jewish by birth. My niece is adopted. Her adoptive parents are Jewish by birth. She converted before her bat mitzvah. Her biological parents are Catholic.
At 30, she’s having a crisis regarding Judaism.
She is angry that she had to “jump thru hoops” as she says, as a young girl, to become a Jew. Asking me why Judaism forces you to do certain things to become part of the tribe. She already felt a bit lost being adopted and resents having to do things to belong to become Jewish.
We know a Rabbi, who never converted and has a mom who converted to Judaism.
I find that very odd.
She is asking me why she had to convert and our friend the Rabbi, did not convert?
Hope this makes sense and someone can help me, help my niece with an answer.
Thanks for reading

Hi everyone
I had a horrible dr visit
Cardio & nephrology are passing me back and forth
Now nephrologist is saying I need the opts clinic at MT Sinai bc if I even sit up/stand hr goes to 170/180
I’m height red sweating and a look ending most of time laying
Also have high bp, apnea, diabetes, chronic Lyme, MCAS, CIRS
autoimmune dis & on &
on
I’m chasing my tail
No one is helping
I’m seeing all the specialists but can’t afford the ones out of pocket
Nor can I function
I heard the Sinai pots clinic was sophomoric in how they treat
I’ve had pots badly for the last 5 yrs and mildy for 20 yrs
There’s not one medication I haven’t been on
Trying to figure out if it’s worth $400 to get into city
I just can’t have another horrible visit anywhere
At my wits end

My drs say I am a cardio metabolic mess and at risk for all scary cardio things, so even though after 15 abdominal surgeries. I have motility problems alskk ok from POTS and am usually clinically dehydrated from lack of much of colon.
Everything I read terrifies me bc it is hard to stay hydrated plus I’m already on a motility drug.
Literature says it’s dangerous to be on that drug and glp.
I guess bc of heart, my drs are saying risk/benegit I should try 2.5 tirzepitide.
Any thoughts? Terrified

He had written a few books on autonomic dysfunction
Just found his website
No meds are helping bc I have many other diseases affecting autonomic system
My cardio’s keep throwing be into er which is useless

I am clinically severely dehydrated 24/7, due to colon surgeries
I have POTs, which is a disorder where iv fluids help bring down pulse
I can no longer get iv fluids
The balance between bp & pulse are a nightmare
I am doing low protein, low carb, little to no salt, dairy free, sugar free & gluten free plus no poultry or meat
Have been in er 2 weeks in a row now bc of high bp and high BUN, dehydration
But I cannot have salty fluids as I am constantly swollen with high bp
Any thoughts appreciated

I am not at all bossy, in fact I avoid conflict…well healthy me used to and I certainly was never referred to as bossy
I was the helper to all, totally over extended myself
After fighting for so long, 25+ yrs with these illnesses and more, I have ptsd and think I’m stuck in battle mode
I’m sure it’s spilled into my relationship as I’ve also noticed my personality is not what it was before illness
Anyone feel so misunderstood by loved ones in this way?

Hi everyone
I’ve had misdiagnosed chronic Lyme, Bart for over 25 yrs
Pretty complex case with many other illnesses attached
I’ve lived alone for 30 yrs all this time, but recently tried having my best friend/bf live with me for a few weeks
My behavior is foreign to me
I start going into rages over the slightest things, seemed to have developed a kind of ocd as well
I flip out over nothing
I feel flu ish just thinking abt any kind of intimacy and the toll it will take…so much so that I avoid it altogether
I also have CIRS, mold illness and unstable POTs along with MCAS
It feels like literally everything bothers me, annoys me, and I have always been pretty laid back
I feel like I’m loosing it with the rage episodes
It’s not violent but more like my attitude is nasty
I am known as, and I know myself as, an extremely kind person
This is seriously upsetting me
After my mouth opens with unkind words, almost minutes later I cannot remember what I said or why
Can anyone relate to this?

So up to 1 vile cromlyn…supp to take 4/day
I just about passed out while standing for a second earlier
I had the acid earlier in day
But the dizziness even laying down is bad
Is it supp to be this bad?
