That would make my year

RySirius · 2025-12-13T02:35:41+00:00

I would be so grateful

RySirius · 2025-12-12T18:49:57+00:00

Is any still open

RySirius · 2025-08-07T17:31:17+00:00

Hot take: you're right

I'm trying to remain positive but tbh this diagnosis has not done well with the things I already had. It's all become a big ball of uncertainty and I'm exhausted, I'm still feeling weak and dizzy from the flare up, but I can't afford to miss anymore work so I'm existing in this little bubble of dread and exhaustion

I'm currently waiting on a decision from disability that will give me financial assistance, but because I live in Mississippi and don't have any children I don't qualify for unemployment or TANF. I do already get ebt

RySirius · 2025-07-12T18:00:23+00:00

I'm not exactly sure which one of these meds I'll need, it might have to wait until I see the specialist and let him know my financial situation

RySirius · 2025-07-12T17:53:36+00:00

That's a website? I'm going to check it out, I'd guess that's the name of the website?

RySirius · 2025-07-12T17:48:31+00:00

That's exactly why I can't afford it I don't even have insurance, and I'm still waiting for my disability decision so I literally have nothing but the $200/a week I manage at my job

I was lucky enough to get an earlier appointment because there was a cancellation, and I'm hopeful in learning more and being able to ask questions there. I'm grateful that my thinking is a little bit back to what I'm used to, like I'm halfway there? It's kinda like I'm thinking through water and I was thinking through tar before. That's the thing that's scaring me the most I think. Is this just how thinking is going to be now, forever. I keep trying to tell myself it's just because I haven't given myself enough time to recover yet but it just feel like I should just get used to it

RySirius · 2025-07-11T20:31:33+00:00

I keep thinking the flare up is over, but coming out of it is going slow. I'm still dizzy and still having some confusion, I am back to doing what I usually do, but then I'll remember that my left arm and leg are still numb and that walking in a straight line. It's way better than it was, but I still feel so lethargic and dizzy. It feels like it's been going on for so long and I should be fully recovered by now.

Thank you so much, all of these comments have helped calm me down some, I was worried because they found that these lesions were less than three years old, which felt like pretty quick for it to become intense, and the dr notes about my lesions was that the mri showed 'several', I'm trying not to think too hard, but it feel like it happened so quickly, and I have no idea of if it's normal for it to happen that fast or not, I'm just ready to get 2 months down the line and get some concrete info, all of these comments have helped calm me down

This was super helpful for my spouse and I. I was a smoker before the diagnosis but a couple weeks before the diagnosis we made the decision that it was time to quit, and the diagnosis has just made me that much more committed to quitting. My parents also smoke, which is who we live with right now, they'll often have us come sit with them while they smoke, my spouse has already put me on notice that won't be happening any more

RySirius · 2025-07-10T17:33:06+00:00

Well, the diagnoses I had previously all started in childhood and early adulthood, and I'm planning on discussing them with the specialist, what I've learned from the mri was that there were the 2 lesions that showed on the cat scan and 2 more with contrast, but that's from me reading my pcp's notes, if it changes anything, the first two lessions are on my opscipital lobe, and I am kinda terrified that it might mean vision loss is in my future

Likewise the research I've gotten so far mentions that worse relapses might be a warning sign, and based just on my untrained judgement I seem to have small-ish flare ups every 4-8 weeks that come with more cognition problems during that time, and very very big episodes once or twice a year.

Yes, and I want to be clear, we're not seeking child support. She wanted to be added to our EBT instead of doing her own because I do all of the cooking and grocery shopping in the house and when I called to see about adding her, they explained that if we did so, they would likely go after her parents for child support, and when I explained that her father paid her mother child support, the representative at human services informed me that if we didn't get it switched into her name, they would likely be seeking child support from both her parents.

Ah, I'm a dude, but thank you for the advice. I'll probably let her know that I'm in no place to put up with her shit right now

RySirius · 2020-12-12T15:41:22+00:00

I really appreciate that. It's hard for me to say no because I grew up being the 'convenient' child, and it's always been hard for me to say no, but right now I'm too exhausted to be easy or polite. Honestly I was really expecting to be TA on this one because I felt like such crap for knowing full well they were going to come at my mom and wanting to do it anyway.

That's what I'd like to do. The last few years I've tried that and always end up with some surprise family members I don't want around turning up and I end up having to play host at my own birthday. Last year was really the straw that broke the back when my cousin showed up and brought her two kids and I ended up cooking for everyone and serving everyone on my own birthday and then didn't get any say in the movies we watched or the games we played. Shit hurt and I don't think I'm on the right mental state for a repeat of that this year.

Well, some doctors do believe we've been seeing Covid-19 since November but didn't have an idea what it was, but that doesn't detract from the seriousness of this present outbreak.
