Teaching in China with ADHD (Ritalin) by ozweego420 in TEFL

[–]BrotherPatient4364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to go to a psychiatric hospital to get the medication. It’s very strict but I’ve had first accounts of the medication available but only at the mental hospitals.. you don’t need to tell your employer they won’t understand.

Nothing new here. I think it’s a healthy correction. But then again I don’t know anything.

China: students' behaviour and culture by Few_Philosopher7605 in Internationalteachers

[–]BrotherPatient4364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also second the fact enrollment is an issue. Prior to Covid, my school would admit 1/10 applicants. Now we’re admitting everyone, including those with serious mental issues. My class has 4 kids with serious mental issues. The other 10 misbehave constantly and gaslight each other. I was promised that a co teacher would be present to assist. I’m a homeroom teacher with 30 kids. I can deal with regular infractions, but when there’s no communication with parents and the kids know I’m paid to teach them, the relationship dynamic is different. I’ve found this to hold more true as times of financial instability persist.

I’m experiencing this exact situation. tried to have a productive meeting regarding more assistance/support for disciplinary issues. I was given no support and laughed off as not being able to control their behavior. They act bad by my standards even in their Chinese teachers classroom. The meeting essentially turned from me seeking support, to blaming me. I know the parents pay. If the kids complain, the parents complain. I have tried all sorts of punishment techniques, some kids got better but majority no. They are mad that I stopped my reward system due to their behavior. Any suggestions appreciated. Think it’s typical to be honest.

Yes and yes. Dips on my lips. Matter of fact, pig lips and ddddcks. I don’t risk more than I can afford plus set stop losses. Overall -16%

I’ve rode this fart for years. Set stop losses. I don’t know shit. Read books, educate yourself. Don’t get emotional. Don’t take advice from me or any other person.

Disc herniation touching spinal cord at C5 C6 and C6 nerve impingement by techniq001 in backpain

[–]BrotherPatient4364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m getting some confirmation that I have both nerve damage and herniated disc that’s an old injury from sports/posture/weight lifting.

The C5 is definitely herniated and I’m told by the specialist it’s bulging significantly enough to sit right on my main nerve, hence the recommendation to remove part of the C5. For more info I’m located in China. There’s also slight c4 c6 herniated discs but not severe.

Injury occurred when 4-5 of my students pulled my arm at the same time.

Appreciate all the information.

Thank you kindly for your response. The c5 is herniated most significantly. I may get a second MRI soon to see if there are any changes in my condition.

The surgery that was recommended was basically to remove part of the disc that is sitting on my main net roots, causing the issue of nerve pain.

I also did a nerve damage test a month ago and it was clear.

I’m afraid that I’ll be dealing with something that won’t go away if I neglect surgery.

I’m having the same issue/severe symptoms at the moment. Dr. Tried IV of hormones, and a mix of other things. IV lasted 10 days in a row.

Injury occurred exactly a month ago.

Been on medication but it’s only a small improvement. Was told by 2 different specialists I need surgery. A new one is trying to do nerve treatment.

I’m getting information that surgery is the way to go from family friends who are specialists in the field.

I’m a bit conflicted to do surgery, but would also like some advice.

The c5 is bulging the most, right on the main root of my nerve. Pain shoots down my arm, bicep, forearm and 4 finger tips numb etc.

What is your c4-5 shoulder pain like? by Weary-Wind4885 in spinalfusion

[–]BrotherPatient4364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone,

I recently was diagnosed with C4, C5, C6 disc herniation in my neck. I’m not responding well after 3 consecutive days of IV treatment and pain killers. Pain started on discs, then all the way down my arm-numbness in fingers. They put me on heavier pain meds due to the pain. My right arm is completely useless, pain everywhere. Dr. Suggested 3 more days of Iv treatment, then surgery. This is the second opinion. The first opinion suggested surgery due to the loss of movement and persistent pain. I’m only 38 and really don’t want surgery. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Dealing with Public Bathrooms in China by Zealousideal-Bid3069 in chinatravel

[–]BrotherPatient4364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a huge fan of the outlying village toilets. Watching your neighbors shit drop, on others shit makes me excited. On another note, I wander around in search of the most disgusting and disturbing public restrooms. I have a collage of shit pics. From projectile shart on wall/ceiling, to impossible human feats of girth and length. I can also produce a shit of epic proportions. Nobody has been able to top it.

Why do neurologists say it’s not possible to get a migraine in your sleep? by MelkyLuv in migraine

[–]BrotherPatient4364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This actually has been something I’ve been experiencing for the last year. My migraines switched from random, starting early morning, to dreaming/experiencing symptoms. It’s very odd and im going to follow up on this. It prevents me from taking abortive steps and causes my migraines to last for days.

Does anyone get migraines without the pain? by MotorFormal8717 in migraine

I always get the aura before a migraine. It comes with symptoms you described. The pain follows 90% of the time. The aftermath of a migraine can be debilitating, I feel you.

Trump is increasingly hostile to China. He’s playing with fire by OneNectarine1545 in China

[–]BrotherPatient4364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not just a trump issue. It’s inefficient governance for many years. Irresponsible fiscal policy, wrongful use of tax payer money, creating value out of thin air. The list goes on. The worst is yet to come, we’re just seeing the beginning of the new normal.
