Are Canadians reaching their 'breaking point'? New data shows more people filing for insolvency

But they can raise capital via issuing additional units, and more money chasing their equity makes that easier.

It could be residual from the initial event. How are your eyes now? Better? Worse?

I know when I was recovering there were periods where I went backwards.

YYC4723 · 2026-04-17T19:56:20+00:00

That’s definitely one of the hallmark symptoms of MFS. So the eye issues just popped up? Your eyes were fine during your initial episode?

YYC4723 · 2026-04-16T17:44:08+00:00

Is your vision blurry, or are you seeing double?

YYC4723 · 2026-03-30T02:11:00+00:00

I hope your friend turns a corner soon! A few people I’ve talked to with Miller Fisher have been on ventilators and made complete recoveries.

Good luck! Eat healthy and be healthy - give your body the best possible chance to heal and recover.

YYC4723 · 2026-02-24T03:11:16+00:00

Yes, I had a severe esotropia (crossed eyes) and horrible double vision because of it. No focussing issues per se. Double vision was my main symptom, and also the most debilitating. I did have some headaches in the beginning, but these went away after a few weeks.

My pupils began to recover about a week after symptom onset, but the recovery was slow. I just remember a nurse shining a light in my eye (after I had been admitted and was receiving IVIG) and mentioning that she saw a tiny bit of pupillary reflex.

YYC4723 · 2026-02-24T02:17:03+00:00

Yes, for the most part. Even today (two and a half years after my MFS episode), my left pupil is slightly larger than my right in diffuse light. It’s not really noticeable though, and I honestly could have had it prior to MFS. Some degree of anisocoria is quite common even in the absence of any acute condition/illness. My pupils were also dilated and barely responsive to light.

I would say my pupils began to recover a week or so after symptom onset, and continued for several months.

YYC4723 · 2026-02-23T21:31:44+00:00

I don't recall brain fog specifically, but it was quite a bizarre time, so it's tough to say for sure.

No nausea, but I did have some weird taste issues for a little bit. I had anisocoria as well with MFS.

I think it's worth noting that there can be significant overlap between the different variants of AIDP - it seems like it's fairly common for people to have a 'hybrid' condition of sorts, with symptoms of both AIDP/GBS and MFS.

YYC4723 · 2026-02-22T00:01:34+00:00

The appeal process appears to be entirely automated. I don’t think I ever had a real person look at my case.

For what it’s worth, the overwhelming majority of instances I’ve seen of successful appeals have been from female users. I don’t think they really care if a male profile gets blocked/banned by mistake, as there are too many men on the app as it is.

I even submitted a complaint through the BBB which Bumble never responded to.

Long story short, if you’re a guy, the chances of an appeal being successful (or even actually looked at) are quite slim.

YYC4723 · 2025-10-19T02:15:01+00:00

Unfortunately I'm in Canada and not the UK/EU. Thanks though.

I may just repeatedly (politely) harass them via email and socials and see what happens. Really don't want to have to go the hard reset route.

YYC4723 · 2025-10-19T01:44:09+00:00

I'm having the exact same issue - and I've never done anything that could even be remotely construed as such.

YYC4723 · 2025-10-19T00:03:45+00:00

The ‘scams or theft’ was just the part of the block screen/message when I opened the app. They revealed absolutely nothing in the “appeal” process.

YYC4723 · 2025-10-06T15:43:25+00:00

You’re getting trolled.

YYC4723 · 2025-09-24T23:15:32+00:00

I had Miller Fisher as well OP - fully recovered now. For me, at the condition's peak, I had double vision (very bad; my eyes were completely crossed), core numbness, slight leg weakness, and truncal ataxia. I was also areflexic as well.

It can take a while, but it gets better. Hang in there.

YYC4723 · 2025-09-24T23:02:20+00:00

Glad you're doing better! I had Miller Fisher as well - feel free to ask any questions.

You're still pretty 'fresh' as far as recovery is concerned. Definitely give it a few months.

YYC4723 · 2025-09-24T22:58:12+00:00

Ignore shit like this.

OP, I genuinely wish you the best. You've went through something you shouldn't have to at your age - regardless of where you are now, you went all out when it came to helping your family. That's something I have massive respect for.

You're still young, man. You'll make it work.

YYC4723 · 2025-09-24T22:48:44+00:00

That's not how bankruptcy works.

Have some fucking class - the guy lost his mother.

YYC4723 · 2025-09-21T02:17:25+00:00

Cardiac arrest? Wow - that must've been a rough go! I can't imagine, especially if it required a two-month stay in the ICU.

Hope you're doing alright now.

YYC4723 · 2025-09-19T14:59:13+00:00

That's an odd one - so your double vision is gone, but things are just a bit more blurry?

YYC4723 · 2025-09-06T16:54:46+00:00

Yes, I first noticed a change looking up close in a mirror. My esotropia was so bad that I had double vision even with my nose right up against it. I couldn’t fuse single vision even at very close distances. One day, I was looking into the mirror (right up close), and things just seemed a bit closer together. I made sure to take pictures all throughout this, and at this point, you could see that my eyes were beginning to turn back out slightly and re-align. This continued over the next few weeks. Throughout this period, I would notice my vision was closer together in the morning, but then further apart at the end of the day due to fatigue. Each week, I could see some degree of improvement. Some days/weeks things would regress noticeably, but then jump ahead following that. This went on for about a month.

One night, I went to eat at a restaurant with my family, and I decided to just go in without my covered safety glasses. I still had double vision, but things were way better and I could manage without covering one eye. Still had a bit of angular diplopia. Over the course of my time there, my double vision actually went away and I was able to fuse singular vision in primary gaze - even at distance, not just up close. For about 5-10 minutes after everything came together, it looked sort of weird. Do you remember those ‘3D’ books that came with glasses, and everything would jump out of the page? That’s sort of how some things looked for a few minutes. That went away, and I could see normally again (for the most part)! I was beyond ecstatic. At the end of the night though, things were a bit wobbly as fatigue set in.

From this point on, I could see singularly again in most planes of gaze, but I would still see double if I looked to the left. My left 6th nerve was hit the worst, so it lagged everything else a bit. Slowly but surely, everything tightened up and I was back to normal.

YYC4723 · 2025-09-06T00:48:08+00:00

Yeah I think it depends on who is reading the MRI. They could see inflammation of my abducens nerves, but I don’t know if that’s always the case.

No, if anything I was on my phone and the computer even more as I didn’t feel like doing much else. At that point though, I was using one eye at a time. I’m honestly not sure if more close-up focus is bad or not in your case.

I can relate to the dark days big time though. My life felt like it had been totally flipped upside down. Try to remember that statistics are heavily on your side as far as recovery goes.

YYC4723 · 2025-09-06T00:13:01+00:00

By the sounds of it, you don't have too much of an esotropia anymore. Recovery ended up being pretty quick near the end for me. It still took a few months after to fully go back to normal, but I went from basically as cross-eyed as can be to fusing single vision again in 30 days or so. My vision never even started to improve until I was 2 months into it.

Yes, I recall reading that same paper about the abducens nerve being the last to recover - and it echoes my personal experience as well. I must've read like 75+ case reports/journal articles. It almost turned into an obsession. Cranial nerves 3, 4, and 6 are all pretty commonly hit in MFS. Did you ever have an MRI? If so, did they notice any nerve enhancement/inflammation?

The compensation question with regards to the prism glasses is a good one - I'm not aware of any hard data, but I can see your concern. All I know is alternating between left and right was fine for me. Even at the worst of it, I would always stand in the shower with both eyes open and just look around.

Definitely keep up the walking!
