re: Child with PFAPA: UPDATE PAGE 2

Posted by Saint5446 on 4/4/24 at 9:28 pm
Wanted to come here and express my gratitude to Stringed Instruments. We have been giving my child vitamin D at your advice and the advice of our pediatrician and my child has only had one, short lived fever and no missed days of school since. He used to run fevers of 104-105 regularly for 5-6 days ...

I am really grateful you shared this with me. Seriously, it’s been hard on this poor kid and you’ve given me a little hope. ...

Got it. One more question if you don’t mind, how long did it take for you to see a difference with vitamin d, and do you have a type you prefer?...

Thanks for this response. It was one of the things we are going to try. Who was the rheumatologist and would you recommend them?...

Child with PFAPA: UPDATE PAGE 2

Have a 5 yo going through this. One of the things recommended to us was to see a pediatric rheumatologist, or an ENT to talk about removing tonsils? Anyone have a child who’s gone through this? Brutal for the child. ...

Something tells me the big reveal will be more about the activist girl’s death at the hands of the evil corporation than what actually happened to the scientists. What a mess. ...
Honestly thought this was the weakest episode and I’ve been decently invested up to this point. Characters just all suck and it’s kind of boring. Too much random shite happening that doesn’t really directly relate to the only compelling part of the show, which is what were these guys so afraid of...

Recently pulled money from financial advisor and had my decision confirmed in another thread :lol: Looking for a book or two to read about allocation, self managing a portfolio, etc. Something that gives somewhat of a 50,000 foot view of investing over one's lifespan. Thanks in advance. ...

Thanks. Ultimately the annuity is up about 20k after surrender charges. The whole life policy I gave the ax to last year... well we won't talk about that. I think I learned enough throughout the process to just chalk it up to a learning experience and push onward with the businesses and start moving...

re: Do I have a bad financial advisor?

Posted by Saint5446 on 1/29/24 at 8:26 pm
What drives me nuts is I had brought up a company 401k before getting put in the whole life and annuity bullshite, and he told me that the fees to set it up as a company would be high and would also be an admin burden, which is true to an extent, but not nearly as bad as he made it seem. Dude was ste...

Yeah I have thought of this myself, and now he's primarily appealing to my emotions and our past relationship. I probably should have called him before, but I know he would have talked me out of it. I really like him as a person but not sure he's really been looking out for me. Guy is over 75 years ...

re: Do I have a bad financial advisor?

Posted by Saint5446 on 1/29/24 at 3:05 pm
Yeah. Guy is requesting a meeting now wanting to reinstate it. Think it was a pretty shitty deal for me but I he is a much older, wealthy gentleman and I can’t figure out why he’d put me in this, because he really does not need the money. Live and learn. ...
