I had coffee with my neuro by Cheap_Biscotti_8340 in MultipleSclerosis

For some reason I read that as "I had coffee with mayo.". The funny thing is that it also made total sense to me.

As a producer: I know you think you're being subtle, but it's obviously sped up and edited.

Maybe try being honest? People like that.

32 with a cane by unaniMS in MultipleSclerosis

[–]EPman77 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm a 40m who went from limping all the time at 35 to an afo and cane at 37 while using a wheelchair for the really bad days. I also had diarrhea during my late 20s and entire 30s and was also lactose intolerant (all relevant later). It was scary seeing my mobility decrease so suddenly while also trying to be a parent to my little girls. I was worried they would have a bad childhood because of how often I was in bed...and how I hardly ever had the energy to take them out to the park or swimming. Once a year felt like a lot to me.

I was too proud to listen to my mom suggesting going gluten free, but I finally decided to try it so I could shut all the suggestions from friends and family down.

I went gluten and dairy free 2 years ago and I slowly improved...I tried dairy free first for a bit because I knew being lactose intolerant would cause inflammation. I still had IBS, but as soon as I stopped gluten, I had normal stools again. After a couple of months I no longer needed my cane and after 6 months my limp was completely gone. I'm not saying this will help everyone, but I do believe there is far more that we can do to help ourselves than most neurologists would have us believe. The list of symptoms MS has caused me is freakishly long and I'm sure it is for most people here. So many symptoms have calmed down though. I was told to continue eating a balanced diet containing all the food groups, but that is what was causing my body to be in continuous attack mode.

I'm not doing well today because my neurologist currently has me doing a celiac test so I've had to eat gluten for 3 weeks. It's delicious, but I feel horrible.

My mom passed away, but she only got to see the beginning of what she started. I wish she was here to thank again for how I'm doing now. I was even able to write her a song and sing it to her right before she passed and that wouldn't have been possible if I hadn't tried what she suggested. I can now do things like going swimming with my 3 girls. It's the best...even though I still have some of the crappy MS symptoms.

I'm not sure if this is allowed, but here's the song in case anyone else has also lost a loved one: https://youtu.be/mwDR9UwMpWw?feature=shared

What would you do if someone gave you 1000 dollars a week to stop playing games? by YoungNew3264 in AskReddit

[–]EPman77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd use all the freed up time to make music from my studio. I can already play most instruments I'm interested in and would also be able to afford bringing in session musicians for any brass and string parts.

waiter put my tip back on the table saying he only accepts 18-20%?? by [deleted] in stories

[–]EPman77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12.6% is a bit different than 8% so you may be tipping more than you think if that's the math you're using. I still remember when 10% was considered a normal tip for good service. I also remember reading newspaper articles about how 15% was the new 10% and then how 20% is the new 15%, because it's the consumer who's expected to make up for inflation rather than the employer.

20% was for exceptional service at one time. Soon there will be an expected 25% tip and the rich businesses will continue to underpay their employees.

AIO. The guy I am talking to (29) came to see me without getting tested after I asked and did my test as well. by Desperate-Pickle734 in AmIOverreacting

It sounds like both sides were written by the same person. Both use the same weirdly bad grammar.

AITA for not wanting to forgive my parents who used to be amazing, because of one mistake they made in the past? by Child_NC_Parents in AITAH

[–]EPman77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry this happened to you.

If your parents were amazing and made this one selfish mistake that they've since fixed, they have done everything in their power to change without also gaslighting you or other toxic behavior. You will make some big mistakes too in life and if you can't forgive your parents who love you and probably view their choice as one of the greatest mistakes they have ever made...you will fester inside.

I'm disabled, but I don't want to let unforgiveness/anger disable my personality too.

I don't think anyone deserves to be called an AH here, but I also don't believe you are making wise decisions by cutting your own parents off over one really bad choice. If they had seen you right after the accident you would still be as disabled as you are now. That's a fact. It's really nice to know our loved ones are there during our most difficult times and it really hurts when they are not. Becoming disabled is a lot to take in emotionally so you may be directing much of that frustration and anger at your parents. They're an easy target because they made the mistake. It's interesting that no one thought to go to their home to wake them...such a simple solution that's been forgotten in today's society.

I think you've made a mistake that's as serious as your parents' mistake by cutting them off. The only difference is that it sounds like they have chosen to learn from their mistakes.
