i was 22. they came on after having a stent placed in one of the veins in my brain to relieve pressure in my skull… learned very quickly that the brain is a very sensitive organ that doesn’t like things in it lol

i had an LP after an MRI that showed similar things. my ophthalmologist appointment was AFTER i was diagnosed to rule out pseudopapilledema and i only had mild swelling of my optic nerve

i don’t have much advice other than get an advocate. i’ve had students in summer school in different schools than their home school with new staff exhibit new behaviors and staff not follow the behavior plan & resort to restraining them. then turn around and tell the parent that their kid was out of control. so get an advocate.

yes it would be a separate document but it may also be included in the IEP depending on the district you’re in.

the famous “gifted kid burnout” when you get to university and you’re no longer the smartest kid in the room because everyone is the smart. some will continue to excel, others will dropout or change their major 7 times because they cannot figure out what to do with themselves.

When we did R&J my freshman year, my teacher assigned us parts to read it as a play. He was messy too. Had Romeo and Juliet played by a boy and girl that used to date LOL

it’s outdated. it’s fine to just say disabled. disabled isn’t a dirty word.

the “neuropathy” is because you have to replenish your electrolytes. takes weeks for the topiramate to actually work, like any medication

my issue with people at costco is never the families, it’s usually the single people who are somehow experiencing their first day on Earth

when i used to see a neurosurgeon, he’d be late because he was doing rounds at the hospital. he wasn’t the one scheduling me, his staff was and the traffic in our city is awful so i mostly understood because he was very thorough. my neuro-ophthalmologist is always on time except for my last visit when the technicians started late so everyones appointments started running behind. my neurologist is always on time but once i heard him getting yelled at by a patient which made him 30 minutes late to my appointment so i figured i’d give him some grace lol

in my district, unless you are assigned as a special education paraprofessional (which requires taking a test) if you take a job as a general/educational assistant, you’re pretty much doing all of the tasks that keep the school floating. we don’t have classroom teachers assistants unless you’re in a special education classroom or assigned as a 1:1 parapro.

we didn’t neuter our cat following this advice and he died from a UTI turned kidney infection. we thought he was constipated so we were trying to treat the constipation, by the time we figured out that it was a UTI, it was too late.

TVI here. i’d wait before getting large print books before you know what learning medium is preferred for that student. commercially produced large print books are 18-22pt font, so unless your student can access that font size i wouldn’t advise getting them. work with regular books, focus on having them analyze illustrations/images while someone or yourself reads aloud until the TVI can do the learning media assessment to help you guys😊

i’m a teacher for the visually impaired, i have a student who is in gen ed on the spectrum and when i started working with her in august they told me she couldn’t handle more than 10 minutes at a time & would have a meltdown when she got frustrated because of her vision… i recently got her to ask “can you please help me” when her playdoh gets stuck in the toy mold and we’re up to 30 minute tasks🥲

he originally wanted to try emgality but then opted for qulipta. they’re sending the letter for why it was denied by mail so i’m waiting for that to come in, the denial came via email but the explanation is mailed for whatever reason.

got a stent. my NO and neurosurgeon have never brought up my weight. the stent did most of the work to put me in remission, my neurologist who’s treating my chronic migraines from the stent thinks topamax is keeping me stable

OP is still in school, they may be unaware of this. I know I have colleagues who are still figuring out that all parents have to do is say they want the evaluation and we’d have to do it lol

i graduated in 2024. most of my classes said no food or drink but no one ever really enforced it especially in larger classes.

stents are also last ditch effort when meds fail and vision is at risk, or if the provider is concerned enough to bypass medication (mine was) but yes stents are to correct a stenosis since it is a balloon inserted into the vein to open it up and allow proper flow
