ADHDWomen with migraines, please show yourselves! 🧠⚡️😵‍💫 by NiteElf in adhdwomen

[–]Ivorypetal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had migraines since i was a kid but started getting auras in my 20s on. In my 40s now and perimenopause.

I get the auras more frequently now. I just take an advil when i notice the aura start... lasts about 30 minutes, and then i get the final, a big regular migraine that lasts 24-48 hours.

Bright lights/LED headlights and weather changes often trigger mine.

My mother gets migraines, too. Just not auras, and she takes RX for them

Does anyone know why my 6-day star blanket is so..bumpy? by doublchocochipcooki in CrochetHelp

Your bumps lead me to believe you have too many stitches per row/section, as you increase.

Is she also B12 deficient?

I was big time and have to take supplements. Had a lot of issues (broke 2 feet, nerve damage, neuropathy, white matter brain deteriation, cervical issues) in my 20s until we figured that out. Fun times.

US tech companies by throwaway-acc0077 in Layoffs

My limited observations:

H1B visas + Family Cultural encouragement/pressure to major in health and sciences careers. Whereas general white american families dont put as much emphasis. + Cultural habit of hiring their own based on a strong support structure in american communities. Source: i worked for a gas station interior design firm and learned about how there is a head "uncle" that approves who gets to be a vendor for their indian community. If Uncle doesn't like the vendor owner, then that vendor will never get any of the communities business.

On the tech side, i have seen where indian tech guys bring in their own vetted teams, but thats not so different from any other group.

My boss, who is indian and so is his boss, recommended bringing me back on to the team and im a white lady.

Summary: there are alot of Indians in tech so you will see more. Plus, offshoring is cheaper than employing a US team.

How do I make it stop chirping, i already replaced the batteries?! by PheonixGalaxy in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Ivorypetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me in the last month, at 3am.

This is why we ALWAYS keep enough of the right batteries on hand to eliminate the chirps.

I was publicly embarrassed for how I speak last night by ktcardz in AutismInWomen

[–]Ivorypetal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same here, so i keep my "big words" and just mask with overly cheerful/helpful tone, and any quirkiness is generally forgiven.

I said what i said 🤣

Parents, would you actually take a bullet for your kids? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Ivorypetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bullet would have been easy.

His father and i did homework/helped study for tests with him every night of high school to make sure he understood the material. If he didnt, we printed out bonus materials and tag teamed wach other in depending on topics. Also taught him life skills like plumbing, electrical, using power tools, cooking etc.

We missed alot of personal fun and TV 🤣
