Hi! I want to find a hair color that makes me look good and not dull or harsh. I’ve done jet black in the past it made me look harsh with my undertone if I didn’t wear makeup. I’ve tried warm brown and I also didn’t like the red and orange tones on me. What colors would make me pop with my undertone, I’m finding that going based on undertone really matters. I’m Olive neutral

Hi! I have a hard time swallowing pills and can never get it down no matter if it’s super small. I want to prove to my mother that there are people out there who actually can’t swallow pills and I’m not the only one. I have to take medication for my whole life so because I can’t swallow pills for the life of me I do liquids and for over the counter vitamins I find gummies. My mom bully’s me for this saying I’m just over thinking it but I genuinely can’t it doesn’t want to go down no matter what technique I try. I’ve swallowed some small pills in the past but when I did I get the feeling like it gets stuck in my throat. I feel the pills stuck in my throat and there have been times when I was scared to go to bed or I would still feel the pill stuck the next day. I’ve just been taking all medicines in liquid form even if they are supper bitterrr. Any advice or help? Anyone with the same situation?

Hi! To those people who are on or have taken Saphnelo injections what are your experiences and thoughts on it? I’m currently on benlysta which was taken to help with my kidneys and protein in my urine which has been really great for my lupus. I felt my fatigue has gotten way worse so I made the note to my doctor and he suggested that I can switch to saphnelo to help with that since my kidney numbers are good. I also have constant low wbc numbers everytime I check my labs every 2 months, so he said the saphnelo would also help with that.

Looking to play a new survival world with someone or people! :)

Looking for someone who wants to play right now, start a new survival world! :)

Hi I’m 21F. Minecraft has been popping up on my feeds lately and it’s been making me want to play Minecraft again. I prefer to play a survival world with no mods or add ons since I want the true Minecraft vibe. I would love to play with friendly cool people! :) I’m honestly looking to play right now lol.

I’ve had lupus since I was a kid, but for most of my life I never really experienced the extreme fatigue or lack of energy that I hear people talk about. I honestly felt like I was in “remission” for a long time because even though I had lupus, I didn’t feel the symptoms at all. This changed after I started having real/bad flares. Ever since then, I feel like my lupus hasn’t been able to fully stabilize, and the fatigue has become one of my biggest problems.
Before all of this, I was the type of person who hated being bored at home. I was always finding something to do. I loved doing crafts, baking, or just finding random things to keep myself busy. Now I’m completely okay with sleeping all day, lying in bed, or just being on my phone because I feel like I have no energy or motivation to do anything. I’ve also noticed that if I have somewhere to go or things I need to get done, I have to go out in the morning. If I wait until later in the day, I feel like I lose all my energy and end up getting lazy and not wanting to do anything. It’s almost like I only have a certain window of energy during the day, and once it’s gone, it’s gone. The same thing happens with work. I would much rather work a morning shift because when I get home, I still feel like I have some energy left and can actually do things with the rest of my day. If I work a night shift, I feel like I waste the entire day before work doing nothing because I’m trying to save my energy for my shift. It’s also starting to affect college. I’ll have assignments I know I need to do, but I feel like I don’t have the energy to start them, so I keep postponing everything. Then I feel bad because I feel so unproductive compared to how I used to be.
I’m currently on prednisone, Plaquenil, Benlysta, mycophenolate, and vitamin D. I’ve tried taking B12, but I haven’t noticed any difference. I’ve seen some people mention B12 injections for fatigue, and I was wondering if anyone with lupus has tried them and whether they actually helped. Obviously I would talk to my doctor before doing anything.

For anyone who deals with really bad lupus fatigue, what has actually helped you? Did anything improve your energy levels, or did it mostly get better once your lupus was under better control? I’d really appreciate hearing what has worked for other people because this fatigue is probably one of the hardest symptoms for me right now. Huh

Hi! I live on Oahu and I’m looking for affordable places to get my pants hemmed. I have a couple pants that are too long and want to find a place possibly in the waipahu/ewa/kapolei area! Anyone know any good affordable places?

Best driving lessons/instructor for adults in the Kapolei/Ewa Beach area?

Looking at HPU’s OTD Program! Las Vegas or Hawaii locations. I’d love to hear from current students or graduates! :)

- How was your overall experience?

- How are the professors and clinical placements?

- Did you feel prepared for the NBCOT exam?

- Was it worth the cost?

- If you had to do it again, would you choose HPU?

Hi! I know this is a very specific topic but I wanted to know if there’s anyone on here that have or is attending HPU’s OTD Program.

Hi! I’ve done a lot of research and asked questions on this Reddit page, and I’ve been hearing from many people in the OT field that taking on over $100k in tuition debt for an OT doctorate may not be worth it compared to the salary afterward. I’m currently feeling really stuck and unsure what to do. I live in Hawai‘i and unfortunately can’t relocate out of state for school, and my state only has one OT program, which is a private doctoral program with very high tuition. I’m also almost finished with my bachelor’s in pre-OT and only have about a year left, so it feels scary to change directions now after already investing so much time and money. Growing up, I always dreamed of working with children and helping teach/support them in a way similar to teachers, which is what originally drew me to OT. When I first discovered OT, it honestly felt like the perfect fit because it combined so many things I love. But now, after hearing so many professionals talk about the debt to income ratio and the financial stress from loans, I’m starting to question whether pursuing OT is the smartest decision financially long term. I’m just looking for honest advice from people who have been in similar situations. If you were close to finishing ur degree but felt uncertain about taking on large loans for OT school, what would you do? Are there related career paths you explored, or do you still feel OT was worth it despite the debt?

How do you guys justify paying 100k+ for grad school tuition?

Hi! I’m a 3rd year undergrad student majoring in pre occupational therapy. I was originally majoring in elementary education then made the switch to pre ot. I always wanted to become a teacher but ended up switching to ot since it was similar in a way but a mix of healthcare/teaching and I still get to work with helping kids. It’s almost time to apply to grad school so I just want to hear people’s opinions. I live in Hawaii so everything here is expensive and I believe OTs here don’t make much. The only school we have on island is for a doctorates degree therefore tuition is 100k. I’m not picking OT as a profession because I wanna make money but because it was a job that was a mix of what I wanted to do when I grow up. I don’t see myself moving out of Hawaii any time soon so Im questioning if OT would be okay. I also have a health condition so I don’t really wanna be overworking myself to make a living and pay debt. I see so many cons vs pros on Reddit so I don’t know what to believe. Anyone have advice?

Hi! After so many tries of trying to find my perfect shade match in my foundations and trying every single undertone. Buying foundations but it looked too dark, too orange, too yellow, too light, and ashy. Returning foundations after buying them but no foundations matched and just took my loss and wore foundations that didn’t really match. I think I have found my right undertone, Neutral peach undertone. Anyone know any great brands with neutral peach undertone foundations? I don’t see many?
