Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
It is an even better story if you could hear my DH tell it . DH is pretty good at impersonations . So he impersonates Steven Tyler . DH is a very good story teller and funny . He thought about writing for comedians part time for extra $$$, when he was young . But he didn’t have time. Comedians don’t all write all their own stuff that they perform in stand up . They purchase material as well . DH would have stage fright , he could never perform .
DH has many stories from his travels which include , tornadoes , hurricanes , earthquakes , blizzards, and many years ago a (minor ) airplane crash on takeoff when the airplane was about 30 feet off the ground when an engine decided to die so they came back down hard on the runway and then ran out of runway before the brakes could stop the airplane . They crashed through a fence and ended up in a cornfield .
It’s no wonder I have grey roots !
How fun! Aerosmith is great.
If it would just warm up a little I wouldn't mind so much, it's just wrong to be shivering while the trees are pollinating.
Came home yesterday and all the sudden had runny nose and bit of headache, sneezing even today.
Might be a cold or covid? Some people start covid like that.
Just a friendly reminder to those with unusual cold like symptoms to be careful around the vulnerable people in are life.
You may need an advocate to get you through the paperwork of it all. An advocate would be a social worker, a geriatric case worker, or an attorney. etc.
I don't know you, but it was not that hard to get diagnosed for my loved one.
The psychiatrist took one look in a 45 min. session and diagnosed him, even though he appears 'normal', or typical. He could not have done this on his own, even though he is high-functioning.
After that, you are correct, he went to a psychologist for testing to qualify for disability, and it was either free or under $25.00, because SSDI sent him.
BTW, no one should be living in the presence of black mold. You should also not be cleaning it, or in the presence of any toxins at all. It would make anyone sick, but with aspergers, it could increase your symptoms and lead to: (poor coping behaviors)?

I am doing this myself for what seems to be a vestibular disorder – not vertigo, but stress-induced balance problems, which is much less common. I’ve had every test the doctor can think of (I’m still waiting for full-spectrum blood test results and my new spectacles), but I’ve actually done better with the net. I’s a 6 month wait for a neurologist appointment. I’m about to take what I’ve found back to my very good GP, because he’s stumped.
Twenty years ago, my previous GP was highly offended if we seemed to know anything - “Where did you get YOUR medical degree from?” was his line. I knew an old one who really resented a new requirement for compulsory update sessions, “after 6 years study” and “the human body hasn’t changed”. Now most new research is on the net, and intelligent sufferers can do a lot themselves in a field which is changing so much more. Try it for Aspergers!
Also it can be called niro divergent.
Margaret that's really interesting about vestibule deases. I suspect it's not as uncommon as they say. I've wondered if there was at times a relationship between anxiety and vertigo. It seems some people get vertigo at times there stress is really high
Because I have an undiagnosed son, he is awesome, and doesn't need help, but my undiagnosed step son. He does well, but works as a janitor, lives with us. I don't mind, I enjoy his company, and he dosent bother us. But I worry about him and his future, would love to see him socialize more, and get a better paying job for his future. His dad gets frustrated with him, and sometimes I'm all he has.
So any information you get may be helpful to me.
I'm picturing 30 year olds taking care of there parents there while adult life.
Nature has its reasons for what it does.
May you both receive courage, strength and wisdom to face this challenge.
My heart is broken for you. I am going through this with a family member. He is 15 months past diagnosis, removal and treatment and the last two months has developed many new issues. Every so many years it seems that someone I know has a glioblastoma. Only thing in common is seems to have happened to them in their 60s. So sorry.
hothouseflower, I am so sorry about your friend. Prayers
