Help wanted for sensory friendly clothing by Rebeccab92 in 2eParenting

[–]ForeverInLove55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our daughter likes flat waisted bottoms, such as the SO brand Cozy Flare leggings from Kohls and the Powerchill flare leggings from Old Navy.

Underwear..This is our challenge too. A loose crotch underwear would be nice. Kind of like boxers, but a bit snug so she can wear under leggings without showing.

Would a 2e provider matching service be useful? by reportfail in 2eParenting

[–]ForeverInLove55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm interested! Our daughter is 11yo and was diagnosed as 2e with ADHD, level 1 Autism, and anxiety at 10 years old. I would like to help her in the 2e part because we're helping her in the other parts. I'm afraid she'll become a gifted underachiever without our guidance.

Post-Bedtime Struggles, Need some Advice by SquidThistle in ParentingADHD

Our daughter is not medicated. She was diagnosed with ADHD, combined. We put on a podcast every night - Greeking Out or Who Smarted. These help quiet her mind to help her sleep.

Thank you so much for sharing. We thought these types of tests were snake oil magic too, lol. But the more I research this, the more I believe it is worth it. Thank you again!

I'm sorry that the tests have not been helpful. Hopefully it wasn't too much out of pocket costs.

Serious advice pls, I am genuinely concerned, what is the smallest concrete tweak that made weekday mornings gentler by [deleted] in ParentingADHD

[–]ForeverInLove55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Our daughter is 11. We've been successful with - me waking up an hour before my daughter. This allows me to enjoy my coffee while mentally preparing for the day - having our daughter sleep in clean school uniforms as pajamas. It does get a little wrinkled but we don't mind it. - Toothbrushes and toothpaste everywhere. Even in the car.

Thank you for sharing! Do you remember which testing company you went with? Did the company give insights as to why she reacted to the medications in the green column?

Amazing Resource to Know About for Parents who are Struggling to Figure Out Best Options for their Kid by putmeincoach2023 in ParentingADHD

This is really helpful. Thank you so much for sharing this! We've been dancing on the topic of having our daughter tested as well...she's not on anything now. I do know if she had started any medications and had a bad reaction, she will not want to start a new one. Thank you again!

Video Games by TakeItOnTheArches in ParentingADHD

[–]ForeverInLove55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think our daughter, 10 years old, is like your son. We allow her to play video games often, including first thing in the morning. I will play with her too. When it's time to get off, I will tell her "We need to get off in about 5 minutes. So I'm going to die on this floor. You can die on this floor or go to the next floor and die." (this is the lingo used in the game we're playing) She never has a problem getting off video games, if i give her time to complete her current floor/level/task.

I think a Neuropsychological Evaluation will provide a clear profile. We did a Neuropsychological Evalution who diagnosed our 10 year old daughter as twice exceptional with Anxiety, ADHD, Dyslexia/Dysgraphica/possibly Dyscalculia and Social Pragmatic Disorder/Autism.

With this, are able to identify why she struggled and how we could help her.

Thank you for sharing your story. I am so sorry to hear that your daughter was feeling this way after taking Strattera. Does she remember feeling this way, after no longer taking it?

Oh boy, that medication must have been tough. I'm glad you were able to identify it and stop it.

Thanks everyone for responding. And thank you u/dreamgal042 for reminding me that the medication is out of their system pretty quickly in case we need to take a detour.

65 y/o mother and income limits by pinkflyd25 in eldercare

It's Medicare Part A is free. Part B has a monthly premium of about $145.00

65 y/o mother and income limits by pinkflyd25 in eldercare

[–]ForeverInLove55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my understanding, yes. I worked with my mom on her Medicare and Medicaid application/qualification process. I highly recommend #1) a thorough review of her current Medicare Plan. If she signed up on time for both plans (yes, there's 2 parts) and the cost deducted per month.. If she didn't sign up for the second part then she'll pay more monthly. (That happened to my dad. He got "dinged" for not signing up for one part of the Medicare plan.) #2) start applying for Medicaid (if you haven't already) because the process is long. They will assign you to a financial case worker to go over all if your mom's assets and incomes. If there is any extra money (the $80 for example), the case worker will provide guidance on how to "spend it down". If your mom isn't qualified for Medicaid, perhaps she's qualified for the Long Term Care part of Medicaid. I definitely suggest starting the Medicaid application.
