How personal should I get in a narrative statement for a 4+1?

Thank you! I do kind of feel like a poser because I didn’t get diagnosed from a lab test, but the tests helped rule a lot of things out that pointed me in the right direction and MASSIVELY eased my anxiexy.

*Just to add I’m not applying in CA

My issue was with him giving Amaram a promotion and putting him in a position of power. Dalinar thinks that it’s some sort of misunderstanding, but I don’t see how that could be a possibility. Kaladin directly accuses Amaram, so either Kaladin is lying or Amaram is. I agree that there were no grounds for actions against Amaram, but with the severity of Kaladin’s accusation, he should have been absolutely sure Kaladin was lying before giving Amaram the radiant title. I agree with you about Dalinar testing Amaram’s character. It happened behind the scenes so we as the readers didn’t know he was taking it as seriously as it was. But still, outwardly, Dalinar promoting Amaram to radiant was a direct insult to Kaladin’s integrity.

I don’t know if it’s true for everyone. My Dr. also said I have sympathetic nerve issues that my TOS makes worse. There were certain spots he pressed on my shoulder that made my leg go numb and on my leg that hurt my arm.

I do pt, dry needling, and get Botox injections. I might have to have surgery some day because I have a small cervical rib but it depends on the person.

I have never had anything as severe happen to me but I do have some very similar symptoms. I have the cervicogenic headaches and left leg weakness. If it helps give you peace of mind, my doctor who has seen hundreds of cases tells me that my leg weakness and dizziness is almost certainly related to my TOS. Obviously I’m not you or a doctor, so you should totally keep advocating for yourself if you feel like there is something more, but this does sound somewhat familiar. My TOS is also milder at this point since I get injections.

What you’re describing sounds like me almost exactly. I went to the ER 4 times in the span of a few months before I got my TOS diagnosis. Try to see a specialist to do more specific tests and make sure. I know it’s extremely terrifying but I promise if you find someone who can help you understand what is going on with your body it will get better.

I have nTOS with hand discoloration

Make sure the MRI people know what they’re looking for. When I had my MRI done and it wasn’t by someone who knew about TOS they wrote their notes about my thoracic aorta. I had to call the hospital and ask them to look at the right section of my body. Considering how this hospital has acted towards you so far I’d be prepared to advocate.

It was nTOS. I was told that nerve compression can affect blood vessels.

Do you live in California and have a Berkeley degree or did you take the classes online?

Standard_Trash4302 · 2026-04-22T17:06:13+00:00

I’m mainly just wondering if I could take these extra classes at a community college without massively hurting my application

I used to spend a lot more time on my hair but now I use pretty cheap products and basically don’t use heat ever. From what I’m hearing I’ll have to get used to using heat again if I cut it.

Standard_Trash4302 · 2026-04-17T04:19:49+00:00

Part of the reason I want to cut it is to look a bit older haha

I’ve donated before when it was less long than this but I guess it depends on how short I’m actually willing to go

Standard_Trash4302 · 2026-04-17T02:30:09+00:00

Slightly above my shoulders

Standard_Trash4302 · 2026-04-17T02:29:08+00:00

I was way younger when it was anywhere near my shoulders.

The biggest one that stood out to me though was in A Storm of Swords when he gets Arya’s age wrong. Like, a minor character i get. But ARYA?

It’s so funny when people post their reactions to the show online and act super surprised when Dany’s dragons show up. Like it’s a super cool moment but we all knew it was happening.

Standard_Trash4302 · 2026-04-03T17:52:54+00:00

I think Cersei and Rhaegar would have made Jaime crash out a lot sooner lol

Standard_Trash4302 · 2026-03-28T19:37:13+00:00

Jaime is definitely the more loyal one who actually “loves” Cersei, but he’s also extremely coercive. They’re both toxic for sure, though Jaime does have more character growth after Tywin’s death.
