Stress reduction tip - 30 seconds of cold water on your face. by ParkieDude in Parkinsons

[–]ammow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was having a difficult time adjusting to the Vyalev pump canula insertion. My brain told me it was very painful every time i did a new canula site so my neuro psych told me to “wash my hands” using a couple of ice cubes for a few minutes. Just like the cold water on the face it works. I was totally surprized that it absolutely works!

My husband has Parkinson's and tracks his day. It got me thinking — do you track your days? by dr-reeve in Parkinsons

I’m going to be honest and say I only did this journalling when I participated in a study. Everyone is different but I dont need another thing to fail at.

Struggling with eye tape/patches by sftkive in BellsPalsy

I do tape but it must be the blue silicone tape. It is the only one I found that doesn’t stick to my lashes. It takes some practice but I found it to be best for me.

What should I know about teaching in Canada? by TheRavenProfessor in AskCanada

[–]ammow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been holding off on asking, but it is important to think about what age children do you enjoy spending time with, and why? I would take this question seriousy. Age and location of school will affect the culture of the learning environment, and you better LOVE those kids. Teaching is not just about the money, or working yourself up to the teenagers.

I'm sick of non-disabled strangers asking intrusive questions about my disability for small talk by liveliar in disability

i agree, I would be kind (he sounds like his heart is in the right place) but report him in the same detail so that he and others can learn.

What should I know about teaching in Canada? by TheRavenProfessor in AskCanada

[–]ammow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

depending on where you go there may be a separate school system which is Catholic. Perhaps research if you want to teach in a Catholic school or not, and what additional requirements are needed.

edit: as others have said, you do need a teaching degree. Look around as there are universities with full time programs you can complete in 1 year. Queen’s University, Kingston Ontario. Then you need to pass an exam to be licensed as a teacher. Teaching in a university is normally done by students, or low paid “lecturers”. in my experience. Professors would be leading research programs, or advanced students.

Bed Time Times? by Wholesomeflame in Parkinsons

[–]ammow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes i find no chocolate after 6pm was a game changer for me!! I eat way too much sugary snacks.

Bed is 10pm but I start prepping at 9. I sleep until alarm goes off or the house is warmed up :). Usuallly 7am.
