Does anyone know what the rates are? Or have any recommendations for apartments near uw (with approximate rates)
I have noticed a lot of the websites don't have rates posted :(
Hello this is my first and most likely last post here.
I just need to say a few words before i go. All my life ive been a good kid yet somehow everytime i felt happy life managed to fuck me over.
At only 19 years old i went with my friends to the mountains to play with ice and have fun and i remember i got quite a cold whiplash on my neck so i warmed it with a scarf and went on with my day.
Right as i came back home immense pain started at the top of my neck and radiated through my whole right side body.
At first i did not care at all i just took paracetamol and waited. After few days i realised moving my right arm on top of my neck pain was becoming almost impossible.
I went to a dr and fast forwad mri i have c5 c6 c7 discs bulging and pressing on my spine. I was ok cool and what now. The dr told me there is nothing we can do just wear a neck collar and thats it.
I did not trust that dr and tried to find other solutions i asked a friend of mine whos a chiropractor and told me to visit him and he will "press back the discs into place"
And this was the mistake that will cost my grave. I went to him and after like 15 sessions of neck manipulation by him which each lasts like 1 hour over the course of 2 months.
My shoulder socket popped and deltoid atrophied immediately my whole right shoulder triceps biceps and right side of my back became bone.
I panicked and was like what the hell just happened. He told me do not worry just take a muscle relaxant and everything will be fine.
There is not a single drug that i have not tried on my body. Muscerol 3, lioresal, divido, airtal, gabapentin, duloxetine, neurobion, neurobion forte, paracetamol, vitamins b and c and many more.
Name any dug i have tried it and nothing has helped the injury inflicted by my friend on top of my neck pain.
After seeing more than 6 doctors and the last one being the most important dr in my country.
He diagnosed me with severe brachial neuritis or PTS and he is not even sure of this diagnosis but this is what it seems like. And on top of my shoulder basically not being there my serratus anterior also died. To my delight he also looked at me in the eyes and told me it is not so severe and told me you re spoiled and need to be slapped for wasting your life like that.
So now i am 25 in march i become 26 i have back pain neck pain atrophy in shoulder arm and serratus anterior i get tired from just drinking water and just breathing or eating feels like heavy duty for me. Now rec

I had my 1st occurrence back in 2013, which resulted in complete paralysis of serratus anterior on my left side. The pain was severe and constant from the first day. I felt it in my neck, shoulder and whole arm. It lasted for about a week, and I got winged scapula right after the pain was gone.
I had my 2nd occurrence in October 2020, which resulted in supraspinatus and infraspinatus atrophy on my left side as well (still not back). This time the pain was bit smaller than the first occurrence, and it felt similar like the first time (neck, shoulder and whole arm).
And my 3rd occurrence happened 10 days ago, but this time on my right side. The pain was bad but not as bad as the first 2 occurrences, and it did feel a bit different. I felt the pain mostly in my lower bicep, the pain wasn't constant (I was able to position my arm in certain ways to avoid pain) and my arm felt really tight and it was painful when extended. On the 4th day, I woke up with a severe pain in my whole forearm. This pain was constant and lasted for about 4-5 hours. After the constant pain was gone, the weakness started right away. I lost most of my strength in index finger, and solid amount of strength in my thumb and middle finger. This makes me think it hit the median nerve.
I was in contact with my Neurologist. We did a bunch of blood tests and the results were normal. My EMG is scheduled in 3 weeks, and I will get MRI done and start PT next week. When I got MRIs done after the 2nd occurrence, the results were normal, so my Neurologist ruled out the mechanical injury reason for it. I also got tested for SEPT9 gene to rule that as genetic disorder, and the results were normal. My neurologist believes it's still the genetics cause, even though I don't have any nerve issue history in my family. It's very rare to have an episode of PTS, and this is my 3rd occurrence which is super rare.
I am a 30 year old male. Was an athlete for the most of my life, and never had any serious illnesses. Didn't get vaccinated or had any type of illness close to my last occurrence.
I'm very interested in hearing your thoughts. Any thoughts on root cause for this or recovery process are appreciated!
So I'm from the Lynnwood area, and I really hate the idea of commuting 1+ hr on the bus, or driving through Seattle's traffic. I've also heard that it's way harder making friends when commuting. 🥲 However, I'm leery of signing a lease in case UW goes back online and being stuck in Seattle for 12 months. Should I just suck it up and commute or take the risk and sign the lease?
(As a side note, any opinions on NORA/NOLAN or the Parsonage?)
There is a missionary who runs his own congregation and mission, and his personal residence in a suburban neighborhood is categorized by the state as a "church or charitable property" and building description is "parsonage". The congregation he runs meets in a local church, not in the home. He purchased the property in his own name in 1995 for $160,000 and "sold" it in 2010 to his religious organization for $700,000, which is listed as the owner, at the same address. Though, I did a search of tax-exempt organizations on the IRS site, and did not find the congregation.
It seems fishy to me, like he did it just to avoid paying property taxes, which are very high in the area. (The annual property tax bill for the house next door is nearly $20K).
My parents (around 70) are wondering if it's a good idea to refinance ~50% of the value of their home with the prospect of repaying the mortgage using parsonage income. Here are the details:
- Total annual household income: $70k. No debt, but also not any real savings or retirement or life insurance policies.
- Home value estimate is $450k, completely paid off.
The idea is to cash out between 200k and 250k on a 10 or 15 year (hopefully around 3% interest) loan, then pay the mortgage with parsonage income. The amount that would go to pay the mortgage (~$25k annually) is currently being saved, so they're thinking that in a way this would immediately be cashing out what they can save over the next 10 years at a low interest rate (if that makes sense).
Additionally, my dad is a rabbi so home expenses can be taken as parsonage tax free, so this would lower their annual taxable income significantly and they can save there as well (according to my quick calculations, maybe about $3000 per year).
One extra wrinkle is that my parents are currently both around 70 years old. Being that they have no retirement, it's an extra reason to possibly cash out. On the other hand, there's concern about repaying the loan over its duration. The plan would be to continue to receive a salary (at least enough to pay the mortgage) for the duration of the loan, which they expect to do barring a tragedy (my dad is also the director of the organization). Obviously it's impossible to know what happens 10+ years into the future.
You can see that the details aren't fully sketched out yet, but the general concept is there. Do you guys think this is a worthwhile idea or should they leave the house alone and not jeopardize their equity? Or is more information or research necessary?
Thank you for your help!
As the title states, we are a non-denominational church with a 501(c)(3) status. The senior pastor offered to purchase the parsonage. He has offered less than FMV. The church board and congregation are concerned about selling because of our non-profit status. I have personally spoken with a CPA and two attorneys and none of them can give me a written statement I can use to help the board make an informed decision. Am I looking in the wrong places for an answer?
Hi. Just wondering what his health has been like since he handed it on to that other guy. Nobody can get him on Messenger or E-Mail. Radio silence in the newspapers too. Anybody with info? Thanks.
Hello,
I was diagnosed with Parsonahe Turner Syndrome 2 years ago. Im still dealing with it and working on recovery.
Its an inflammation of the brachial plexus, and if Im not mistaken, its categorized as a neurological disorder.
I reached out to the neurologist at Columbia hospital who diagnosed me with it and waiting for an answer.
But does anyone know by chance if this qualifies me for the vaccine?
Thanks in advance
Hey all,
Demographics: 35, male, 6'0, 195lbs, taking clonazapam PRN (and not within past 6 months), Prednisone taper for the condition listed here -- completed mid December. Non smoker.
Past medical conditions: Generalized Anxiety disorder, mild depression, generalized weakness in left shoulder while completing heavy weighted lifts (200+ lbs, bench / shoulder press -- saw sports medicine clinic November 2019 about this, no diagnosis or imaging was done)
Back in first week of December 2020, with very little warning, I began experiencing the WORST PAIN OF MY LIFE in my left shoulder. This lasted for ~2-3 weeks at this intensity. I'm a very active person, between the gym, sports, martial arts, skateboarding, snowboarding and rollerblading I've had my fair share of bone breaks, abrasions, and gnarly injuries. This was something COMPLETELY different. It felt like a combination of a deep bone bruise and being stabbed with an ice pick, and it would pulsate about every 3-4 seconds.
I saw someone at a sport's medicine clinic and after getting an MRI he said that he "thinks it looks like Parsonage Turner Syndrome" or something similar to it, due to the damage around the infraspinatus nerve. I've been told (by my doctor and doctor google) that the recovery is between 6 months and 3 years to whatever my "new normal" will be. 70% of people recover the majority of their functionality, the other 30%....
At present, 3 months after the "attack" I am doing PT with 3lb weights. I can't carry groceries up to my apartment. I can't cook myself pasta because I can't strain the water at the end.
I feel like there should be some kind of improvement and am hoping that someone can look through my MRI and see if they see something else (I'm already out $2900 between the MRI and the office visit with no insurance) and maybe there's some hope of me getting better treatment.
Cheers and thanks for the time,

I'm Luke at the Humanist Society of Greater Phoenix, the organization that's challenging the parsonage exemption. It's a provision of the internal revenue code that allows religious clergy to receive housing allowances without reporting them on their taxes, but doesn't give the same benefit to secular leaders.
HSGP is a nonprofit community for Humanists, atheists, agnostics, and freethinkers of all types headquartered near ASU. We do everything from educational speaker meetings to community service to activism. We think the parsonage exemption should be available to Humanists as well. I'm the executive director of HSGP, and ordained as a Humanist celebrant, meaning I can perform weddings and funerals in the same way a traditional priest or pastor would. As a former Christian myself, I hope this will encourage more nonbelievers to find positive community at places like HSGP. We do team trivia at Boulders on Broadway every Tuesday night at 6:30 if you'd like to check us out.
I'll be on from 1-3 to answer questions and check back periodically after that.
