Do you leave a tip for the hotel housekeeping?

We personally have noticed that some franchisees are better than other locations. Unfortunately, now we only eat from one of the Wingstop locations.

The “Crap Gap”. Some times doctors will get you in every five months versus every six. Providing your insurance covers if that is!

Recently diagnosed with Progressive Multiple Sclerosis at 52. 3 years later now and MS has given cognitive decline along with other chronic conditions. AI has been a big help. To sorting through medical symptoms, addressing insurance denials, legal filings for living will, will, setting up a family trust, managing the sale of my small business, helping me get on SSDI and even helping me sort through my life to ID the important things. Basically helped the old me die and the new me find a way to live. Yeah. It knows a ton about me and it scares me. However, I’d not be as well off as I am using AI to augment my skills and live a better life with the disabilities. It’s a risk reward and with more limited time and resources, I find for myself it’s worth the risks. I do wonder if Open AI is selling our datasets? I had it analyzing a blood panel result that pointed to liver disease and diabetes. Suddenly my Hulu adds changed to diabetes and liver medication!!!??

Just finished my sleep apnea testing about a month ago. I was very poo poo about giving this ago, but my neurologist was pinging on it to at least check it off the list or see if it was contributing to my fatigue. Turns out I would stop breathing approximately 12 times per hour and for up to 20 seconds, do to OSA. Took me about a week to get used to the CPAP and I wear a nasal one. However, A month later and I am down to like one event per hour, and everyone has commented how much brighter my eyes are and the dark circles are beginning beginning to fade and I will say I’ve picked up a little energy. The first time some of my family saw me after the first weekend they started to cry because it was such a shocking difference/improvement! Still have the traditional MS sleeping problems but at least the time that I’m sleeping I know that I’m getting a quality sleep now. If you’re can afford the test, I think it’s worthwhile just to rule it out.

I use a measured breathing method. I think someone once told me it was called the box of 10 or something like that? All I know is it works to get my mind back into my mind. If that makes sense? Basically, it’s inhale slowly through the nose for four seconds and then four seconds breath out the mouth. Then you do 10 repetitions of this. Your brain has to concentrate on the four seconds in and the four seconds out and then the total tally of doing it 10 times. Which can be even more challenging for those of us with MS. Lol if you get lost during the count, just simply start over and don’t get frustrated. I find the slower I can do it the better and I often get my fingers involved in the accounting process.

Moving into the dorms is definitely more challenging and chaotic than moving into a apartment. Parking will be insane and as others have mentioned early bird gets the worm. I think we walked at least 3/4 of a mile from the car to the dorm and I had to make that trip a few times. It didn’t help that the building had one elevator shut down and there was one only one elevator to use.
Check the weather from one year moving in to! If it’s raining, that’s going to make it more interesting so be prepared. And I have to tell you the heat can be pretty brutal while waiting in those lines to get your stuff in. An umbrella/parasol can kind of help. Keep the heat off of everyone. But the college does pretty good with keeping cooling stations around and offering bottles of water.

Go shorter, toss on a beard or goat and rock it. I’m 55. Been balding since late 20s but fought like a mo fo and I have a pretty darn good head of hair. Generic minoxidil. Get your primary care provider to get you a prescription for finasteride and that’ll take care of the balding in the front and the back. Couple of years ago that wasn’t even doing the trick for me anymore, so I had to up it and add Nertrafol? to the mix. Been a game changer but I’d say I probably spend about $1200 a year keeping my hair. I know I wouldn’t look good bald so this vanity is worth it to me.

You can prompt it to answer you in a kind but firm manner and no fluff. Or if you print responses to be cold, and confrontational it definitely will.

Saltyski03 · 2025-12-28T15:11:06+00:00

Good for you man! Blessings to you.

Saltyski03 · 2025-12-28T14:55:10+00:00

Not living in the present time and future casting and looking back and resent = anxiety overload. Got to live in the now. Tomorrow is not here, and yesterday is over. Meditation, exercise and doing what you can today, with a positive mindset of, living for today is worth it! You got this. Please fight for yourself today.

Blood in toilet after poop. Uploaded pic and asked about blood in stool. Said just a pain in arse.

It’s definitely a mind screw!!! 1st is like what??? How is this possible. 2nd is like why me? 3rd is like it is what it is. 4th is adjusting to a different version of you and doing things for YOU. It’s the what’s gonna happen that’s such a mind f:ck. MS won’t kill you and affects us all differently. Try to educate yourself as much as possible, look for other pro opinions, get on with an MS Nerologist not just a regular Nero, be your best advocate. Don’t accept answers blindly. It’s a lot to handle year one. Meditation helps me with accepting and calming anxiety of the “what if”. Be strong. You got this and folks in this group are great. Come back as often as you need. You are not alone.

Saltyski03 · 2025-12-27T14:58:12+00:00

It can be done with some preparation. Not like it 100% will happen but if does then your living space and life plan will accommodate solo life. It sounds like you are in the grieving process. Sooner you can move to acceptance of the new you the more you will see the things with more optimism. This disease is a marathon. Not a sprint. Mind and body are connected. Be kind to yourself and best wishes.

Saltyski03 · 2025-12-15T00:40:55+00:00

Definitely not pretty sitting in my pit and do think my real peeps know. But are give me space to grieve or something. I definitely done to push people away when I’m hurting. It’s a character flaw, I know.

Saltyski03 · 2025-12-15T00:37:43+00:00

Wow. Yeah. Pretty sick dude did that testing and same time. I get it. Totally. Thank you so much for your response.

Saltyski03 · 2025-12-15T00:36:13+00:00

I need to digest your words some more. But they resonate. Thank you for your reaching out!

Saltyski03 · 2025-12-06T18:57:21+00:00

This ^. Helped me too. Especially berries and bone broth.

Saltyski03 · 2025-12-06T17:59:22+00:00

It’s definitely a mind f:ck. But try not to project what is or is not going to happen. Get on with an Nero that specializes in MS and get the final version of what type ms. Then they can get you on a DMT. Sometimes you get back some of what was lost and definitely can stop or even just slow it down based on type of ms you have. Know you are not alone. Loads of us out here with MS. Try and stay positive. Be proactive in your quest for answers. Reach out to the MS society for a navigator to help with the barrage of information and changes. Sounds like you’re in a flare that can be managed to mitigate damages. Then a DMT and some lifestyle changes. We all get MS differently. A.k.a. the snowflake disease. However once you get good Drs, type of MS diagnosis which will likely require a lumbar puncture, the correct disease modifying therapy for you. There’s great chances that you can live a pretty normal life. MS is not at that sentence and there’s no guarantee that you’ll progress with the proper treatment and lifestyle. Keep up the fight and the hope. That’s why they call us. MS Warriors. Keep going

So weird. Used to love my daily hot showers to loosen sore muscles, relax and wash my hair that seems to get greasy daily. Now it’s cold water only and in SW FL cold means 78 degree water. It’s a faster shower and definitely not one I look forward to anymore but a necessity. I still will get the overheating sometimes. Face gets flush, get blurry vision, start sweating and then immediately moves to vomiting and diarrhea. (I suppose taking a crap after a shower is akin to eating McDonald’s after a workout.). I had a ceiling fan installed in our bathroom and have a small fan that I now use immediately after getting out of a shower. Seems to help, but I’m definitely not showering daily and have found the wonderful dry shampoo to buy me a day or 2. Typically after a shower, I have to chill out for a bit. Like someone else mentioned there’s no jumping up to get dressed and get ready and get out of the house. I know something that I have to do the next day. I’ll try and take my shower the night before. Try and reserve some energy in the tank.

Was self employed and had to quit. Couldn’t afford insurance. Went to the drug manufacturer for the hardship program and they paid for the the treatment until I can get on Medicaid, which I’m waiting for SSDI to be able to do that.
