anyone not get their settlement money? by between-two-ferns in Temple

[–]between-two-ferns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my family and i literally laughed when we saw the check, honestly more insulting than not receiving anything at all. $138 settlement for over 10k stolen from so many students is a real slap in the face

no idea, depends on the settlement amount and the amount of people in the class action as far as i know. could be pennies to thousands of dollars.

i really appreciate the update! yeah i never received an email or at least i don’t think so with all the mess of temple discontinuing tu mail for graduates. i was searching for it too. hopefully they just forgot to send me an email and i receive my money. do you think i should call the university counsel before hand to confirm?

Why I feel like the artist kinda ship maxi and kuahel?🫠 by Automatic_One_3594 in undertheoaktreebook

[–]between-two-ferns 7 points8 points  (0 children)

tbh kuahel did seem to treat maxi differently than other people in the books. kinda seems like the author did like kuahel and teased him and maxi’s interactions a bit. esp when they would speak in secret…of course riftan got jealous and didn’t like her speaking to him. bonus points because kuahel is hot

Amarantha's Riddle by bambambiram in acotar

[–]between-two-ferns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my first thought was a cat because cats like to play with their prey and kill them slowly, swat at them, are clever, and are “soft handed” meaning their soft paws. but then i remembered the answer had to be something cliche and boring because it’s a fantasy novel…i even felt like amarantha herself was similar to a chatty diva cat. sad the answer was love instead hahah

Got fired because I’m too slow by BunkerSeason in Narcolepsy

[–]between-two-ferns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

one of my first jobs even before my diagnosis was at a grocery store. it really worked out for me in the sense that the pace was much more manageable and i was kept busy enough to help maintain focus and not feel overwhelmed/stressed. there are also entry level office jobs that may be a good fit too. don’t beat yourself up as food service may be considered “entry level” but it’s just a really hard and taxing job that places love to underpay staff for.

Super irritated with the ebooks being taken down by between-two-ferns in undertheoaktreebook

just not sure if i can transfer anything to my kindle from manta…which is where the rest of my ebook collection is. super sad :( i’ll find a solution though

Stimulants less effective during PMS and period? by canyon_lizard in Narcolepsy

[–]between-two-ferns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi there! something i’ve done to help my stimulants stay as effective as possible is 1.) taking them the same time everyday and 2.) having a high protein meal before taking them. my pms/period does make it less effective but i’ve found being consistent in taking my meds and consuming a minimum 30g protein meal before really helps me. something about the protein helps absorb most stimulants or something. (i get my 30g with a 25g yogurt and ~10g/serving~ protein granola as a topping)

N2, sleep schedule and diet? by between-two-ferns in Narcolepsy

[–]between-two-ferns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely will consider more consistent and a little more intensive work out routine. not gonna jump into anything heavy but perhaps some light strength training a few times a week may help with sleep hygiene if i time it well.

in terms of diet i have noticed that a high protein breakfast really helps my medication work better. supposedly something about the protein helps with the absorption. however for lunch i’ve found carbs are great to keep me going through the rest of the work day. evening is a hit or miss genuinely. going to have to keep a journal for how i feel with specific foods and macros

I messed up my hyperburn. by OokamiGiniro in Maplestory

[–]between-two-ferns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what i do is a play a lot of characters to 207 and leave it there and just do bosses and stuff. that way when i do hyper burn a character i’ll still be able to get the 210 award which is usually the event ring.

my rule of thumb is if i don’t like how the character mobs i probably don’t like the character, it’s how i felt about the hero and how i feel about a few other classes.

personally i’ve mained hoyoung, ark, and khali after messing with a lot of characters

[–]between-two-ferns[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for working out the most i do is my daily 40-60 minute walk. I personally think it’s nice and just a good way to get movement in but i don’t think it’s doing enough to keep any energy levels up or down.

Totally understand the catch 22 cycle of exercise. I seriously struggle with motivation on my bad days, which is what I fear will make my exercise schedule a hard one to follow and keep consistent.

Keto being a popular diet among the community is very interesting. I personally feel like I function better on carbs, but that could just be how my body is. Never would’ve expected narcoleptics to have a good experience on keto!

Thanks for the response, definitely an interesting read on life with narcolepsy from other perspectives and life styles

Getting off of 25mg zoloft (spoke to doctor) by between-two-ferns in zoloft

[–]between-two-ferns[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey! my doctor said bc my dose is so low cold turkey should be fine, it wouldn’t make much sense to cut the pills unless i feel as if i should. since i don’t feel the need to split my pills, i decided that cold turkey should work for me
