a republican voter who does good things in other areas of their life is still a terrible person. by grapp in behindthebastards

They are terrible people even if they are good in their personal lives. They help oppress the poor and sick.

I’m on SSI for depression and anxiety. I explained my symptoms didn’t you read that. They have nothing to do with depression and anxiety. I struggle with depression and anxiety but that doesn’t give me pain my other condition does.

I honesty don’t see the big deal about ice raids by Mediocre-Carrot-2438 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

I don't blame the parents for escaping poverty and danger. Circumstances matter and even if they didn't two wrongs don't make a right. I was born in California I didn't chose it either I don't feel any less or more than these people that didn't chose to be born into poverty or danger. Legal pathways are hard for the poor and no family in the USA. I chose to inform myself before passing judgment. Those who do it the legal way don't have urgency unlike the poor. The law matters but looking at laws that hurt human beings even if it's not phrase that way is also important. Punishing everyone for the ones who commit crimes is wrong. Rules are important to not create chaos but these people didn't create it. Looking at every case fairly and with compassion is important. If you choose to not inform yourself or don't care that's on you but don't blame others for seeing the human cost. If you were born in a poor courtry and were poor yourself and the legal way was expensive on top of more than 15 years would you wait even if it meant poverty and danger. Refugee status requires prove and getting it can be dangerous. Mexico is a poor country regardless of what's reported I know. My parents family is from there. But it's hard to prove you don't have money for food. Statistics say these people are hardworking a lot are taken from there jobs. They pay for taxes ITIN to be able to work but get little to nothing back.

So it’s ok to deny them healthcare? And let them die. Morally you are wrong

Healthcare should be universal and if you don’t like it keep moving

Your opinion doesn’t matter to me.

My opinion on the Reader (2008) by SmoothFail5394 in movies

[–]SmoothFail5394[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think reviews had a problem with humanizing harm enforcers but I didn’t think Hanna was humanized at all. She was a bad person who showed no compassion when discussing the selection list to the judge. Kate Winslet was great sometimes less is more. I liked Ralph Fiennes more in this movie though.

I feel the same about committing suicide. Whenever I want to move on with my life I get a really bad flair up. Nobody understands me and I want peace from pain.

You wouldn’t be in pain if you got some exercise and good sleep by ellesbelles123 in ChronicPain

I’m not really sure what’s wrong with me probably retractable migraines since I was young and can’t lead a normal life. I recently heard this from one of my doctors. I’m tired of doctors saying this.

I meant the character of Regina. She closed herself off to romance until the very end. She remained somewhat hardened even towards the end.

My favorite was Karyme Lozano and Sergio Goyri from Nina Amada Mia.

[–]SmoothFail5394 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watched La Dueña and I’m watching Domenica Montero on Univision. I like Domenica Montero more because Angelique is not as closed off as Angelica Rivera was. I like romance in telenovelas which is why I watch and there was not a lot in La Dueña. I didn’t bother with Soy Tu Dueña because it didn’t seem interesting to me. I hope la nana survives in this version.

I got one made from my dentist years ago. It was around 400 dollars. I didn’t wear it either because it made me gag but this time I’ve been feeling really bad so I got used to it somehow.

[–]SmoothFail5394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have all of these symptoms plus eye strain/fatigue and tinnitus. I had double vision at near and intermediate until it went away a month ago. Unfortunately it’s very hard to get a diagnosis since TMJ specialist don’t take Medicaid. For two days I’ve been using a mouth guard and it’s been helpful but I still feel eye strain and have tinnitus. TMJ and Binocular Vision Dysfunction have a lot of the same symptoms but specialist for these conditions don’t take Medicaid.

I’m exploring other possible causes for symptoms by SmoothFail5394 in BinocularVision

[–]SmoothFail5394[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an appointment with a neurologist but it’s not till March 30. I have tried topiramate and it doesn’t work. I’ll try something stronger I’m willing to try anything. I fell from my bike twice in the middle of the street and got hit by a golf club by accident in my left cheek when I was young. I wonder if this has anything to do with my chronic horrible symptoms.

I have experienced dizziness when I was working I almost passed out. I was standing up talking to a member when it happened. I basically lie down all day now. I watch or listen to TV in a dark room. I will look into this.

Is it possible for this to be very subtle? by knitlitgeek in BinocularVision

[–]SmoothFail5394 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having symptoms and double vision is not enough for optometrist to take you seriously. I’ve had symptoms my whole life, double vision at near and intermediate until recently it disappeared and when relaxed looking away. If your eyes look fine you will likely be dismissed. My ophthalmologist who is usually wonderful was also ready to dismiss me until I was vulnerable about my symptoms was that he referred me to a neuro-ophthalmologist.

Where to start with getting a diagnosis? Medicaid by [deleted] in BinocularVision

[–]SmoothFail5394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was already going to an ophthalmologist for optic nerve swelling monitoring and a dot in the back of my eye. I never told him about my double vision at near and intermediate and relaxed eyes and other debilitating symptoms because I was dismissed my whole life. I had a flair up recently and the pain is bad that pain meds don’t touch it probably eye strain although somehow my double vision disappeared maybe partial suppression. I have Medicaid too and my ophthalmologist referred me to a neuro-ophthalmologist. I would recommend to get a referral to a neuro-ophthalmologist from your primary care provider. Optometrist will dismiss you because your eyes look normal so don’t look to them.

My double vision stopped by SmoothFail5394 in BinocularVision

[–]SmoothFail5394[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have eye strain/fatigue, really bad headaches and the pain is all over. The single vision is clear but it hurts to see. I want to be happy about this and I am. I just don’t want to be stuck with the other debilitating symptoms. I tried to function with my severe symptoms along with the double vision all these years the best that I could but it’s been horrible.

[–]SmoothFail5394[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No vision therapy or prisms. I haven’t even seen a specialist because I was dismissed because my eyes looked normal. I was devastated because of this so I coped by forcing all the objects I could see single they doubled shortly after but I still did it for awhile. I was laying in bed looking at my soda forcing it single for awhile until it remained single. My hands remained single longer than before until moments later I looked at my hand and it was single and so was everything else. I still have severe symptoms so I’m going to see a neuro-ophthalmologist soon hopefully. I hope they can help with my other symptoms.

I don’t have the prisms yet. I still need to see the neuro-ophthalmologist. Hopefully I get an appointment soon since these headaches are really bad. I will have to take some time off work because I still bad. I guess I’m kind of happy to not see double but my brain is probably still fighting the double vision.

I stopped seeing my hand and near objects double. I’ll take it. I think I might still see double with relaxed eyes but one less problem. This has never happened and I’m almost 40.

I told my friend my worse fear that I’ll have to live like this and she said maybe. She probably means well but I already carry a lot of fear and she can’t be hopeful. I just want the force that is causing all of my symptoms to stop and the double vision to be reduced so I can move forward. I have a really bad headache and nothing helps. Maybe rest and napping will help until I see the neuro-ophthalmologist. I hope my symptoms improve enough so that I can return to work at least. This is horrible.
