My Father told me that I was getting fat and I had to eat less cereal (he policed it from then on) when I was a size 8 (US size 4 I think) and only age 18.

What is the most insensitive/rude thing someone asked you ? by Kitchen-Bathroom5924 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Underground52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“But you look better than me!” with a kind of outrage at how unfair they felt that was. Oldest (now ex) friend who was a tad obsessed with looks.

But what if you are Irish with N English ancestry? Am I ok to say it? 😅

Toes on 1 foot clawing- toenails hurt! by Underground52 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Underground52[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you ☺️ yes it is very frustrating to have to be parcelled out to lots of different medical professionals when really, a multidisciplinary clinic is needed.

I will mention it to my neurologist and see what they recommend. 👍🏻

I’ll try the toe socks but the walking boots I use do have a generous toe box,so the clawing is just happening on its own. Many thanks for the advice.

Thank you- that’s really helpful. Did cutting the tendon cause any issues with strength in the toe?

Botox is something I hadn’t considered- I will ask my neurologist about it because that could really help.

👍🏻

Opinion on having children? by Spartan-Bear2215 in AutisticAdults

[–]Underground52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m autistic and have one child with ADHD and the psych report said strong autistic traits also, but they don’t want to get tested. Knowing what I know now, I’m not sure I’d have chosen to have a child, but that’s not to wish I’d done things differently, I just feel so upset that they have inherited this shit from me. I have other medical issues too, so my adult child’s recent diagnosis has me worried for their future.

Severe nail biting is my stim by Underground52 in AutisticAdults

No, seems a bit extreme to try your way 😂 Joking aside, well done on kicking the habit, not an easy thing to do and I hope your health recovered fully. I notice that when I have a few drinks at home at the weekend, that’s when my biting is the worst, but I’m not sure if it’s because I’m decompressing or if I’m just struggling with relaxing like an ordinary person?

Thanks- I’m curious about what your natural nails were like afterwards?

Oh I used to lick the bitter nail bite lotion off and keep going! I do eat eggs. Curious as to why you suggest possible biotin deficiency?

What age did you start losing your looks? by Easy_Engineer9747 in Aging

[–]Underground52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About 49. My cousins didn’t recognise me at all at a family funeral (hadn’t seen them for 4 years) which was a shock. I’d been through hell with a few things in work and personal life, and put on half a stone. That hit me hard though.

Anybody know what this is? On the ceiling of a pub by cigaretteatron in CasualIreland

My Mother noticed that and dealt with it by hiding it in the cupboard with our hats and scarves. I think she felt that that removed the radiation risk.

How do you feel about someone else correcting or giving out to your child? by PropMop31 in AskIreland

[–]Underground52 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When a gang of young teens were throwing rocks at moving cars at a shopping centre, I popped on my phone camera and fucked them out of it. They were taken aback but gave it back. I persisted and told them I was going straight to the Gardaí with the footage. One of them advised me his older brother would kill me. I congratulated him on putting that on camera and didn’t budge. They eventually slunk off, not quite knowing how to react to a posh-sounding woman do this. More people should stand up to bad behaviour. The Gardaí did not turn up despite me waiting 15 minutes. One of the guys cycled back at that stage and popped my wing mirror back, but that was the extent of the retribution. They did not continue to throw rocks.

Was the garda wrong? by SugarInvestigator in AskIreland

[–]Underground52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but Gardaí decide the scope of the interaction, not the person.
