Just opened up my first bank account when I moved down to the states a month ago. Paid my credit card bill on time. My bank account shows that I have a credit score on the website, but for some reason it's not showing up on transunion and lease gets automatically rejected. Can't even try to see myself online on transunion cause they can't 'verify my identity'. Anyone had the same problem?

I opened up a chase bank account about a month ago, paid my credit card on time and received a credit score from the chase app. However when trying to lease a car, transunion reports that I don't have a credit score? Anyone else deal with this. Their online platform said they couldn't even 'verify me'. For reference I just recently opened a bank account in my life in America, so I wouldn't have any other credit etc

I dont have insurance, in Ontario. To the Canadians, how are you affording Xolair? How much does it cost without insurance. My allergist briefly mentioned about the drug to me, I went home and did research and was shocked to see the price.

How have you been managing chronic urticaria? I’ve researched xolair, how much are you paying without insurance for it to keep your hives manageable?

How much did xolair cost you in Canada? I don’t have insurance

Got a apartment likely a starter apartment till I find something cheaper, looking for furniture such as couches and chairs etc. Trying to make it look like some place I’d want to return home to and keeping it minimally simple so I can easily pack my shit and move around if finding something cheaper after intern year. How long did it take for your apartment to look like “home”. And where did you buy your starter cheap but comfy furniture? I’d love to slowly start decorating and make it look like home but everything is so expensive!

Moving to Syracuse and need to buy sofa for my first solo starter apartment, any reccomendations on where I can purchase online and have it delivered to my apartment in June (and assembled). Tried ordering from IKEA but the website gives me issues and won’t process my payment :/ can’t actually come to Syracuse until June so anyone have reccomendations for any other reliable place online? (Not marketplace I have bad experience thanks). Basic comfy sofas for a solo person.

I’m on day 20 now, and every morning I wake up covered in hives. I’ve tried switching to hypoallergenic detergent, changing my diet, even sleeping in different places, nothing seems to make a difference.

I saw a dermatologist who said it should eventually go away, but it’s hard to stay hopeful when it keeps happening every single day. Right now I’m on 50 mg of prednisone and taking 4 antihistamines daily it’s already been about two weeks but still hives.

I’m in my 30s and have never dealt with anything like this before. It came out of nowhere and I can’t figure out a single trigger. Honestly reading post from people who’ve had chronic urticaria for years makes me anxious (no offense to anyone going through that). I just feel really helpless right now. It’s affecting my mood a lot, I don’t even feel like going out or living my normal life anymore. Has anyone gone through something similar where it just suddenly started and then resolved? Any advice or reassurance would really help.

Has anyone taken Rupall (rupatadine) and bilastine together? I know they’re both antihistamines so I’m not sure if combining them is common or recommended. Bilastin was prescribed by my family doctor 20mg while rupall (4 pills per day as needed) by a dermatology doc. Not sure if I should take both?

I’m also currently on a 30 day prednisone course (tapering down) for hives. For anyone who’s been on a similar course, did you experience noticeable fluid retention especially in your face causing like moon face?

First time urticaria widespread. Day 15 of hives.

I’m starting residency soon and as a first-year resident I’ll be making around $68k. My rent will be $2,000 per month(couldn’t find anything cheaper) plus I have car payments, utilities and other general expenses.

For those currently in residency (or who have been through it) how do you budget and stay on top of your finances without feeling like you’re constantly drowning?

Do you use any budgeting apps or specific methods to track bills and spending? Any tips on managing money during residency would be helpful as I do not want to be a broke bitch during residency.
