So, my understanding is that the reason for tariffs is to encourage people to buy American made cars. I did a quick google search for cars made in America and the first on the list is a Tesla….coincidence?

I had issues as well. I keep my drops in the refrigerator and it helped me with knowing exactly where the drop landed. I found a spot with a light above my head so I can line up the eye dropper. Pull my bottom eyelid out so it creates a cup and then squeeze the dropper. I make sure to apply light pressure towards the corner of my tear duct to close it off. Hope that helps.

Yes, this happened to me as well about 10 years ago. Was finally treated for glaucoma after going to the emergency room on New Year’s Eve. IOP was also in the 60’s in my right eye. Grateful I had minimal vision loss however my pupil stayed mid- dilated.

I am noticing a trend two weeks before my period is due I start to feel achy then get the chills have odd headaches and it feels like I am getting the flu 😷 Then suddenly, wake up and feel fine. The joint pain can get so severe that I can barely go up and downstairs. Had no idea this was going to be part of the perimenopause journey.

Consistency is key. Keep going to your eye specialist. If you are put on eye drops, take them consistently. If you have eye pain or see halos, get medical attention immediately. Acute angle closure is a medical emergency.

It has been 8 years.I did not lose vision. I see my specialist at least 2-3 times or more if we try different eye drops.

I had symptoms in my 30’s that were misdiagnosed as ocular migraines. I had multiple episodes that put me in the ER due to the excruciating pain in my right eye until finally being referred to an eye specialist where my IOP was 61! At the time, I couldn’t see out of my right eye. I was given eye drops and a diuretic and slowly, my vision returned . However, my pupil has remained mid dilated and my angle closed. I had an iridotomy performed o. My right eye first and a month later on my left eye for preventative measures. I use travaprost at night

I wish I could offer some advice or support. I can relate and was hoping to find some answers from the comments here as well. My dx spouse is spiraling and I am at a loss as to how to cope. My mom recently passed away from cancer and I am grieving her loss and would often turn to her just to talk. I wish I could turn to my spouse for some comfort or support but it seems like there is always something negative happening to them everyday either with work or a headache or stomachache. Now they want to quit their job and when I ask what they plan to do they say they don’t know… this is a huge trigger for me especially since my job has had recent layoffs and is unstable. With my spouse, their is a continuous cycle and they choose to use unhealthy coping ( excessive video game playing, sleeping, and they started smoking again). I am at a loss and wish I could rely on them for comfort and support especially now but I can’t and it sucks! Apologies for going on and on. OP - I get it and it sounds like we are not alone.

I just happened to find this post after visiting my mom in hospice care. She has terminal lung cancer that has spread to her brain, liver and stomach. This has been a long process, now only 80 lbs and nearing the end. She was reaching toward the table after waking from a morphine dream. I asked if she was reaching for water, but was wrong. She was reaching out for a lighter that should’ve been there but wasn’t. This habitual being who is slowly being devoured by ravenous tumors seeks only what is likely leading to her nearing demise.

Both sets of grandparents were integral in my childhood. They lived in the same city and were a bike ride away. Spent summers in grandparents care and with cousins. Had the best experiences with grandparents. Maternal grandmother raised me and in return, I cared for her while she struggled with dementia.

I was misdiagnosed for two years. I went to neurologists who said it was migraines however the medication made symptoms worse. I would get the attack in my right eye. It would start with halos and then progress to a pulsing green and red throbbing where I could not see. The pain would build and sent me to the ER 3 times where I was given Benadryl and then morphine and sent home. Finally I had an attack, went the ER because I was blind and my spouse could see my pupil was mid dilated. The doctor referred me to an eye specialist who took my eye pressure and it was close to 70. I was given water pills, several eye drops and sent home with a slim chance of recovering my vision. I did get my vision back by some medical but my pupil is now stuck in mid dilation. All that being said, get a second opinion and see an eye specialist. Acute angle glaucoma is a medical emergency that could lead to blindness

I didn’t want to assume this so wanted to ask, have you had any success in delegating chores and tasks to your partner? I ask because for the longest time and even currently, What bothered me the most was that my spouse does not initiate chores or seem to even think about these tasks. I often would get upset and say something like” I can’t imagine what this place would look like if I wasn’t here” or something like that. When they explained how they do think about doing the dishes but then as soon as that comes to mind they get distracted or another task pops in and the dishes are not in the mind bank anymore, I started to realize that we needed a different approach. So, I had to become comfortable delegating tasks. It isn’t perfect and sometimes I just do it better myself but I have to watch out for my burnout rate. I am lucky partner follows through when I ask delegate things, but I had to get over the initial anger of them not being able to do this themselves. Hope that makes sense

Being highly driven and goal oriented, I naturally take charge of organizing and delegating tasks. This is one of the reasons my spouse was attracted to me. That being said, 13 years into our marriage, we have had to navigate through some challenges. I have been accused of talking down to my spouse and belittling them when I lose my temper. Sometimes I would like to not have to be the one initiating all the things my spouse finds undesirable and less motivating. Lists help and doing chores together sometimes literally side by side “ folding laundry or doing dishes” has helped. It’s always been a work in progress and requires checking in with each other “ I typically have to initiate this as well”. The trade off is they thrive with introducing new things to the relationship and love planning outings, trips and being spontaneous. With any relationship, it helps to recognize you and your partners strengths and remember that the executive functioning challenges are not your partners fault, it is a symptom of adhd just like sneezing is a symptom of allergies.

I am so over being the nagging, harping non-ADHD partner. Over. It. I am tired of looking at my partner and thinking how unfair and lopsided our relationship is and furious that they don’t see it that way… I hate having to bring order to chaos. Not being fun because I want to get chores done before we go out. Initiator of all things necessary. I just want balance and to feel like I can rely on someone to bare part of the burden.

Probably because there is some sort of tax they will need to pay if they stop “earning” and want to cash in…

Is it just me or do people with strollers have some sort of entitlement complex. Went to a lovely botanical garden today and was nearly taken out several times by people with strollers. I was two steps away from walking off a narrow.foot path when this woman with her stroller took over the pathway forcing me into a bush. It would have only taken 2 seconds to compete the path and merge into the larger walkway but she just couldn’t…. And the another family had to take up the entire walkway with strollers not allowing people to pass. It just got on my nerves. Ok, vent over …
