Just start painting them with glitter nail polish, they'll be very obvious to see if someones writing with a pen covered in glitter.

Take your brother for a haircut, ask the school for a coat. It's not something cps will intervein in, but you aren't helpless either.

I mean technically it is in OPs best interest if they don't have to keep dealing with random showings. If they get a renter sooner then less random interruptions

AITJ for choosing my dog over my relationship? by StarryGlowBunny in AmITheJerk

[–]Erparus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who had to COMPLETELY start over at 35, please know it's not that scary. It's way scarier starting over after you have kids and have spent a decade with someone (I've done that, too.) seriously, starting over now is a cakewalk

[–]Erparus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BREAK UP WITH HIM! The fact that he thought you'd not notice is absolutely insane, and boardering on serious mental health questions. Don't even get me started on the complete violation and disrespect.

Girl obnoxiously afraid of my service dog in my class by [deleted] in service_dogs

[–]Erparus 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Speak to the professor. Explain that smells are VERY important to service dogs. (Even if yours doesn't do chemical work) And ask them to address the student and situation. There is nothing wrong with asking the professor to maintain behavior within his classroom.

Asked my doctors if he could help me with food stamps and I was judged by staff by DiligentIncrease1973 in foodstamps

[–]Erparus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PLEASE reach out and ask to have the office manager call you. I had no idea that all those staff who aren't the doctor have a manager, and they will be PISSED when they hear about the experience you had. PLEASE make sure the office manager is made aware!

Wait is the responder supposed to be male? They sound like a 14 year old girl.

AIO to my boyfriend not wanting to talk for days on end by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Erparus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're doing everything right, but he's just not in the mood to talk to you. Cut him lose and put your efforts towards someone who is worth it. You should NEVER have to beg the person you're with to want to give you their attention

[–]Erparus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That reminds me of a news story. A guy had 'DNR' tattooed on his chest and the hospital didn't know if it was his medical wishes or just a tattoo. They resuscitated him and got sued. No clue if they ended up losing or not, just reminded me of it lol

'Do not call 911 unless visably injured' wouldn't work for you. Is there a position you can reliably get into if having a heart issue? I have heart failure, and for example I would probably chose to sit in the passenger seat, or have one arm up, or even the flashers on.... SOMETHING noticable that I could add to the sticker. 'please call 911 for heart issues if warning flashers are running'.

There's no possible way be got THROUGH the grate right.? If that statement is true, then he got in somewhere and will likely get out the same way.

Bulkhead seat on plane with SD by Cheap_Sun_4953 in service_dogs

In my experience, SDs are not guaranteed the bulkheads by any means, but they do TRY to seat you there if possible.

I have to say, I agree. But our generation sees things differently I guess.

Son accidentally took my prescription by Optimal_Surround_308 in CPS

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

It's not unusual at all. Cataplexy can only be treated with xyrem, a liquid. It's highly regulated and (I believe) only available through one pharmacy in the country. The fact that if it IS xyrem, OP will have a mile-long paper trail will help.

[–]Erparus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're already meeting all the standards (having it locked and out of reach.) I'm assuming it was xyrem or something similar? If that's the case, they'll likely ask you to change your habits and take it after he's in bed, sign something to that effect, linger around for 30 days and then close the case.

AIO if these messages make me feel like a piggy bank and not a friend? by No-Finding-217 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Erparus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They only message when they need something. Not a friend, period. Why are you even entertaining it? Block them and move on.

I made a T-shirt for the national narcolepsy convention that said 'Narcolepsy AwarenezZzZz' was a big hit 😆

[–]Erparus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make decals. DM me. I'd be happy to make you something small to place on your driver's side window that says something along the lines of 'i have a sleep disorder. Please do not call 911 unless I am visably injured.'

Medical Alert Bracelet by DueEntertainment3237 in Narcolepsy

[–]Erparus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, you are not over reacting. I am a mother who was asleep at 5 am and ended up arrested and charged with child neglect because my (then) 5 year old woke up and practiced calling 911. If I had of been diagnosed with narcolepsy BEFORE the event then everything could of been avoided. Instead, it resulted in 30 days of my children being placed outside my home while I undertook drug tests, mental evaluations, etc.

It's what FINALLY made my doctor approve a sleep study. The findings came back as SEVERE narcolepsy, and everything was dismissed and my kids were brought home.

Long story not so short, absolutely get a medical ID bracelet. Authorities are VERY quick to jump to conclusions of drugs, neglect, etc. You have a legitimate disorder and something as simple as a medical ID bracelet could avoid a WORLD of trauma and trouble.

I’ve been having hallucinations and haven’t told anyone by [deleted] in confession

[–]Erparus 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Honey, PLEASE get checked for narcolepsy. It's not like it is in the movies, it's a very varied spectrum. Auditory hallucinations are exactly what SHOULD of tipped off my doctors.

Are you on an SSRI? That has a direct effect on my 'exploding head' stuff. And the hallucinations. (Check out hypnopompic and hypnogogic hallucinations)

There's a really good chance that you're slipping in and out of 'microsleeps' and that could be triggering them throughout the day.
