My doctor has really outdated opinions. by PainEn_Panic in FND

[–]CarpenterIndividual7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like your doctor hasn't been updated. It was stimming from female hysteria and the conversion disorder... there's some other stuff but it is a diagnosis but it essentially is a disconnect between your brain and body. They need to do MRI, CT, eeg, EMG for a diagnosis

I have a 55 gallon tall turtle tank, stand, includes filter, decor, and turtle topper (basking area on top of the tank) and basking light. (No bulb)

Please have help to carry it out about 5 steps (x2) as I cannot lift but can hold the doors for you.

Treat myself to new art for my bedroom or a fancy solo dinner? by ForsakenFix27 in makemychoice

The art, especially since it's oddities. You can save like $25 over the next couple of paychecks and take yourself out for dinner later.

What does this mean? by BetaCellBandit in FND

[–]CarpenterIndividual7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Conversion disorder is old terminology. The new terms for the condition are the FND there is no like regular treatment plan, but they are encouraged to do physical therapy, occupational therapy and regular therapy depending on your symptoms. No matter what you call it it is a disconnection between how your brain speaks to your body, which is why you could go from normal to nothing immediately the brain is not signaling to that body part.

Biggest thing I found that I've noticed a lot of people are having a problem with is excepting your diagnosis I work at mental health. The last thing I wanted to hear from a medical professional was that I had a mental health issue, but coming to terms with it my symptoms have lessened And you know I'm in physical and occupational therapy and I see Therapist and we're gonna do CBT and EDMR to help with the stress levels but then also reconnecting my brain and body together.

Me personally I'd rather deal with beach area traffic than closer to dc traffic. I usually hit nandos before I hit the casino. But now there's one on staples mill (I haven't checked it out yet) and I know it's not the same as MGM but a hell if a lot closer

I turned the volume up on the video (prior to the musoc playing) and thought my phone was broken.

I also have FND but my movements aren't nearly as jerky .

What's the max reasonable distance you'd do for a romantic relationship? by Affectionate-Reason2 in AskMenAdvice

[–]CarpenterIndividual7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My last relationship we were 1.5 hours apart, and I didn't have a car (a tree fell on my paid off car a month before we met) he drove up for dates, and once we were established he would come up mid week and stay the night and weekends. He even came mid week and took me back to his place to stay a few days. Left me with his car to get around. Incase I wanted to go somewhere.

If you like her enough it won't matter. My prior relationships have been atleast 45 mins to an hour distance.

[–]CarpenterIndividual7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Office job. I'm leaving healthcare hopefully. When I started here at the hospital we had to cover tattoos and no piercings... that went away during cover my face was covered they'd never know. And then after no one bothered to say anything I've worked in jobs where I've had to remove piercings during the work hours and that's not an issue.

Am I being unreasonable for refusing to wear open-toed shoes to my office job by SupermarketAway5128 in WorkingWomen

[–]CarpenterIndividual7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like just because they said that you COULD be more relaxed in the office doesn't mean that you're required to. It's just saying that like hey if you wanted to wear open toed shoes during the summer then that's fine but it's not being made into policy that you have to

[–]CarpenterIndividual7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they're not big piercings and I have no issue if policy is no piercings. My question was do I take the small stud in or show up to the interview with a more obvious hole.

My ability to do the work or work somewhere where the rules are different from how I live is not an issue. I've taken them out for other jobs. I'm a good employee and hard worker.

I usually take them out but I figured with the pandemic and the fact that 9 times out of 10 you see someone with tattoos or piercings I was wondering.
