My specialist prescribes my adderall for fatigue and it works really well for me. It won’t do much if I don’t get enough sleep, so sleep is the first line of treatment, but getting enough sleep + adderall gets me to normal levels of fatigue. I’ve read about people using pretty much any of the stimulant ADHD meds in a similar way. The only problem is that insurance doesn’t like to cover it for fatigue. I had an ADHD diagnosis prior to my MS diagnosis, so that worked.
I haven’t been able to get my Adderall in years. I’m pretty sure most insurance doesn’t want to cover most of these medications for fatigue, because I have to pay for the nuvigil I get now. Which is useless. I’ve come to realize that the Adderall gave me focus and energy. So maybe I actually needed it? But my fatigue is so bad and nuvigil isn’t in the same category as Adderall. I get maybe one or two hours of a bit of energy, but I still feel out of whack. Totally out of focus. I really miss my Adderall.
Thanks! I really appreciate it 😊 might try to find another but my wedding is coming up pretty soon (sept 2 2023). Might have a hard time finding someone else 😬
I was a M/U artist for years, but I worked at a cosmetics counter in a big chain store. We were always booking side jobs with our clients. I’m not sure what or where your artist is working from, but it might be worth looking into one of your favorite cosmetic counters.
OP, whatever you do, have in mind that not many companies do this (and this says a lot about them) and you might not wanna burn any bridges, things might improve in the future and they might want to connect again.
Thank you! Because my kids would never do this crap! All I had to do was give them the look and they knew what was coming. And it wasn’t time out.. They were brought up to show respect, give respect and act respectfully.
Fuck you! Beat my kids, hell no! I never beat my kids! But I also never put them in time out either! There’s many different types of disciplining your child without beating them. So go sit in the corner with your siblings and don’t judge what you don’t know.
I'm not sure if you're being snarky or not, but I'm an RVT (been in the field 25 years) and I've found that tail wagging, in all forms, means they are interested. Maybe good interested, maybe scared interested...but something is holding their attention!
Honestly I don’t know if my intentions were to be snarky or not. I mean no disrespect, I’ve just seen so much hate for this dog. When it’s clearly the owner who is the problem. I think I let it get to me.
All good! I didn't know if my lil' bit of career knowledge would be wanted or not, that's all. Thank you for clarifying, it's hard to interpret tone via text sometimes! And I agree, this is not the dog's fault. Not at all.
To me, knowledge is the key to success. But it’s what we do with said knowledge that makes our success/life worthy. I learn something new everyday, and sometimes I don’t like what I learn. Actually it’s been a lot that I don’t like in recent years, but that’s life!
I was diagnosed in early 2019. Bought a house later that year— 2 story. Of course I thought about everything, but I can’t live in fear of something that may never come. I can always figure something out. Or move to a different place years down the road. Currently have a handrail on stairs. As Ichabod said, there’s always something you can do. Live your life. ❤️
Thanks for the reply. The place we’re looking at has excellent handrails. The stairs also turn, so I could put a stool or something on the landing in case I need to rest halfway up. And the stairs are wide so if someone needs to go up the stairs with me, there’s room.
I feel if you have a full bathroom on the main level, then you’re good. I sold mobility products years ago, there are so many different types of products available these days. A hall closet can be turned into a dumb waiter or even an elevator, yes it’s a bit pricey but definitely adds value to the home. Could be worth it if it’s in someone’s budget. But the easiest thing is being able to access a bathroom and not deal with stairs if possible. While it might not be the best option to turn a space into a makeshift bedroom for a few weeks or more, it is something that has been done for decades right?!? We do what we have to do to get back on track… We are warriors and we will always get back up…
Take it from a physician - stopping a monoclonal antibodiy medicine without replacement can lead to a disastrous relapse the likes of which you may never recover.
Great comment! I don’t think many of us think of this if we’re younger and/or not married. Having someone that has totally different views on our medical decisions in charge could be a nightmare! We should all have our living wills in order. Including myself 😬
This is very sweet of you, and honestly anything you do for her will be greatly appreciated. And very helpful, she may not ask for help or say that she needs it. But if she experiences fatigue like most of us do then she definitely needs help. Even the smallest chores are difficult for us, but we all have different levels of fatigue. For me, I can do one chore then I’m done! Literally done, my body just gives up. So if you think of your daily needs, that’s exactly what she needs help with. And she’s got young children who need her. Hopefully they are helping with chores if possible. Making her dishcloths is sweet, and I’m sure she loves them. But getting your siblings together for dinner and clean up afterwards would make a big difference in her day. Even if you can only do this once a week, I can tell you that this gesture would bring tears to my eyes. So I can imagine that she would have the same feeling. Every little bit of help is priceless, as a mom we are used to being the ones that take care of our families. We have a hard time asking our children to do things that we feel we should be doing for them. I’m probably rambling, but I just wanted you to know that every little thing you help with is huge to her.. 🤍
Yeah no.... why would she be asking to change the plan and then try to claim you never had a plan? She knew exactly what the plan was or she wouldn't have anything to change from.
Yep! I was there a few years ago and couldn’t get over how much everything is these days. Just the basics blew my budget lol. Thankfully I get free boarding when I’m there.
I lived on Kauai before moving to Kona. Kauai & Maui are my favorite islands. I’d move home if I could. Just too damn expensive. But visiting family is good for now.
I’m stuck on “the honeymoon phase is over” after two months. That new relationship energy can last up to two years. If it’s gone in two months it was never real. If someone wants a break from me after two months, we’re over.
Yeah you're missing the point. Do any risky behavior. Then act surprised when it goes wrong for you. The person who took the risky behavior is partially responsible for the bad outcome.
I’m sorry but this is completely false. You are essentially victim blaming. If you were on a jury panel would you honestly set a rapist free because the woman invited her rapist to dinner? Refkndiculous.
If you are a woman and home alone and you invite a man over to your house you are risking getting raped. I don't see how that's controversial. And certainly not demeaning. If people drive drunk they risk getting in an accident and killing somebody. Telling them that is not demeaning.

I bet he never regretted selling it. Not one bit.

This 100x over
Fuck yeah, I'll charge them
Definitely charge them! Like littleglazed said, THEY asked!
One of my favorite redo pictures yet! Such a sweet picture, even with Grandpa’s bandage!
Omg, this is the validation we all needed
Me too!!
This started with GenX parents. Boomer kids are in their 30s now

You could also wear a ball cap
Yes, a cap is good but the sun will bounce off the road up off the bill of the cap. Hats should be used in addition to sunscreen.
Plants scream when cut
Interesting.. Thanks for sharing.
I LOVE this!! 🪄
And they're legit real? Not dyed/heated/man made?
Heated doesn’t equal bad.

You definitely should be feeling good about this one! Actually, you should be feeling great!

Thank you for sharing this! I hope people will take it to heart..
So… now you know your mother’s advice should never just be followed without question. Good to know.
Great comment! I don’t think many of us think of this if we’re younger and/or not married. Having someone that has totally different views on our medical decisions in charge could be a nightmare! We should all have our living wills in order. Including myself 😬
If your daughter had a bf who said that to her in front of you… what would you counsel her to do? Do that.
This needs to be said with a bullhorn! We need our daughters to grow up strong!
This is very sweet of you, and honestly anything you do for her will be greatly appreciated. And very helpful, she may not ask for help or say that she needs it.

Excuse me while I toss my art supplies in the trash.
I was just thinking the same thing.
One of my paintings
Sweet!
Yeah no.... why would she be asking to change the plan and then try to claim you never had a plan? She knew exactly what the plan was or she wouldn't have anything to change from.
I’m gonna say she’s flaky AF, even IF she wanted a way out. Like seriously, lol morning people!

When I take too much, I definitely get more irritable than usual. Unnecessarily loud noises especially irritate me
I came here to say this… Taking more isn’t always a good thing. Especially when it comes to Kratom…
I’m in love with Remi! This has been my favorite photoshop request yet!
I’m stuck on “the honeymoon phase is over” after two months. That new relationship energy can last up to two years. If it’s gone in two months it was never real. If someone wants a break from me after two months, we’re over.
My thoughts exactly!

Yes, but there are better ways to tell people. And most people did. But of course there’s always someone that has to be the one who goes all out.
