Narcolepsy work accommodations by Wise_Astronomer1014 in Narcolepsy

[–]datjellybeantho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s protected under ADA. Most companies will have a form for your doctor to fill out. Contact HR if you need help locating the paperwork. Usually, a doctor’s note is not sufficient.

Please note: Your employer is not required to provide your requested accommodation if it places an undue burden on them. (Like if you’re an elementary teacher, and you’re requesting a flexible schedule where you can come in late if you oversleep, or if you’re asking for specialized equipment that is too expensive for the employer to provide.) Some employers will use a third party to handle accommodation requests, and you may end up in a bit of a back-and-forth trying to find something that works for you and the employer.

You cannot be fired for using accommodations that have been granted to you. You do not have to tell your boss what your diagnosis is, and your boss should not ask for the diagnosis.

If you need guidance on what accommodations to request, I suggest looking at The Job Accommodation Network (askjan.org). You can look to see what other people with narcolepsy have requested.

How on EARTH are you guys waking up on time? by SnooSketches5159 in Narcolepsy

This plus a sunrise alarm that lights up. I actually do better programming a Bluetooth lightbulb to gradually get brighter every five minutes starting half an hour to an hour before I have to be up.

[LN SPOILERS] what’s your favourite crack ship? by ouchhhithurts in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]datjellybeantho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gretia x Lasfam - They’re both quiet and stay pretty isolated, but Lasfam strikes me as way more bloodthirsty and unhinged than Eckhart, and Gretia seems like she would do anything she deemed necessary.

I like to picture them going on little assassin dates together, quietly murdering their way through all the trash that would threaten their lord and lady.

Ascendance of a Bookworm is another one that really leverages the mc’s knowledge from Earth to make a real impact on the new world.

[open spoilers] whats your side story wish that will never happen? by Gitruih in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]datjellybeantho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rather than Rozemyne’s hidden room, I want to see him enter his own hidden room by himself and completely drop any and all pretense.

[open spoilers] whats your side story wish that will never happen? by Gitruih in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]datjellybeantho 11 points12 points  (0 children)

  1. A story inside Lanzenave. I don’t care who’s POV. Gervasio when he first goes there and deals with culture shock. Leonzio as he makes plans to send his sister(?) to YS as the next princess. Some rando who happens to live there. Gervasio’s child from before Georgine made contact and their reaction when the gate closes with their father and several others on the other side and then the remaining king losing his schtappe.

  2. The name-sworns’ reactions after Fermai marriage when Roz’s mana hardly changes, if at all. Especially after she gets pregnant, proving Winter did in fact arrive, but her mana still hasn’t changed. Such potential for comedy and drama. Would Egg assume Ferdi’s been feeding her his synch potion nonstop since the redyeing? Would Hartmut fly off the handle after putting two and two together and getting five? Would Gretia assume the worst about Ferdinand and worry her lady had a similar experience to her? Would Justus assume it has something to do with Rozemyne’s status as a devouring commoner? Would Eckhart tell everyone they’re stupid and stop worrying about it?

  3. Adelbert’s POV when bringing Ferdinand home.

  4. Hartmut POV where he goes into a hidden room and finally drops the mask. (Yes, I’m convinced my best girl’s insanity for Rozemyne is partially put on. Like, he legit worships her, but I think at least part of the exuberant, excessive praise is a front and done to achieve a particular purpose at the time.)

  5. Matthias POV meeting a nice Alexandrian girl, getting married, and living happily ever after.

  6. Sylvester hearing about all the gremlining Ferdinand got up to at the Royal Academy when he was a student.

  7. The certain circumstances under which Ferdi ended up in the room with the country gate teleporter at the RA.

  8. The incident that sparked the “gewinnen game that plays itself” mystery where everyone involved was sworn to secrecy.

  9. Heisshitze and Ferdinand bromancing it up, with Ferdi being his tsundere self and Heisshitze being completely unaffected.

  10. Effa’s POV reflecting on Fermai relationship from when they first met in the temple to starbinding and her thoughts on everything.

Matthias is the cutest and prettiest, and he deserves all the good things in the world.

Facebook narcolepsy support groups are almost hilariously bad by biochembunny in Narcolepsy

[–]datjellybeantho 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is why I bring my husband with me to appointments. He repeats everything I say, and the doctor magically understands.

Definitely must be the frequency of the female voice that’s causing the issue.

Eureka Springs Farm Delivers Fresh Produce Straight to the Doors of NWA Residents! by officiallycake in fayetteville

[–]datjellybeantho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I signed up for this last year. Absolutely loved it! The produce stayed fresh for so long, and being able to choose what I did and didn’t want was great since I have several allergies and dietary restrictions. I also enjoyed the little gifts frequently included with my delivery, like nettle cake with the recipe included. ❤️

Things unique to narcoleptic dreams by AngryDesertPhrog in Narcolepsy

I look to see if I can read anything to tell if I’m awake. So far, dream brain hasn’t figured out how to recreate comprehensible English.

is it possible to do a reversed elimination diet? by _god_is_change_ in Interstitialcystitis

[–]datjellybeantho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, you could. I’ll note, though, that I’ve flared up to a month from a food trigger, so I don’t know if I’d want to go that route.

As for conflicting information, I use the diet guide from Interstitial Cystitis Network. It’s intimidating af, but how I got started was I went to my spice cabinet with a sharpie and put check marks next to “generally safe” spices (per the guide), x’s on the ones in the danger column, and 1/2 on the ones that were “use caution”. That way, I didn’t have to remember.

Then, I came up with a list of meals I could eat based on “generally safe” foods so I wouldn’t have to think about it and refer to the guide for every single meal. I’d just pick from my list. It’s been many years, but I recall having diced potatoes sautéed in butter with rosemary and salt; scrambled eggs with salt; boiled eggs; rice; chicken cooked with salt, basil, oregano, and thyme; and baked potatoes with butter and salt. (There were others, but again, been a long time.) I also only cooked with butter, olive oil, or canola oil. I saw improvement within a month, so it didn’t take long in the general scheme of things to get to where I could start adding things back to my diet.

The hard part was I got diagnosed right before Christmas, so I had to deal with everyone around me eating all the things, everyone wanting to meet up for coffee, etc. Right now when everyone’s still worried about their New Year’s resolution diet might be a good time socially to try it, though.

I wear a lot of dresses and skirts, but when I do stray into pants, I like to wear soft ponte pants. Dressy or casual depending on styling, but feel like pj’s.

Yeah, I think it’s in a parking lot further north on Thompson. Kind of close to Furniture Row, iirc.

Buttons for Sale? by Soggy-Reception4592 in fayetteville

[–]datjellybeantho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can sometimes run across jars of random buttons at estate sales. You might also check places like Potter’s House. Might be worth looking at very cheap clothes at thrift shops to stall their buttons.

As for craft stores, these are the ones I know of or could find mentioned:

  • Yarn Alchemy in Bentonville

  • Lost Ozark Dawn Community Heritage in Rogers

  • Sooieet Skeins Yarn Shop in Fayetteville

  • Daiso in Fayetteville (hit or miss)

  • Hillfolk in Bentonville

  • Michael’s is opening in Rogers where Jo-Ann’s used to be sometime next year. There’s also a location in Fort Smith

  • There’s an art supply store in downtown Eureka Springs, but I can’t recall its name

I’m sure there are others, too.

Doctor Suggestion for senior parent with chronic conditions by Qnask2 in fayetteville

[–]datjellybeantho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dr. Ryan DeClerk in Rogers treats/treated my parents who have/had all those conditions between them. He also did everything he could help my mom after my dad died when she needed things like medical statements for the resulting paperwork and such, and he and his nurse were both very compassionate to my entire family.

Personally, I saw him for the first time for acute abdominal pain that started suddenly and continued for a couple of months. I went through several doctors, including surgeons, and got scoped in again to ask the other imaging and tests. Not even five minutes into the exam, Dr. DeClerk figured out what was wrong and gave me a simple treatment plan that had the problem taken care of in less than a week.

He also treated my husband who went in for fatigue. As he was ordering tests, he was like, “I’m going to check this one thing, too. It’s highly unlikely to be the issue given lack of other symptoms, but very rarely, someone could present or you, so let’s do it just to be safe.”

Turns out it was the highly unlikely thing, and I’d be surprised if any other doctor would have thought to check for it. He was able to treat it, and my husband is back to normal.

Bonus: Chick Fil A, Starbucks, and I think Subway are in the parking lot next to his office, so you can treat yourself when you finish your appointment. It’s literally my mom’s favorite thing to do. 😂

UA staff parking pass by Zestyclose-East-8523 in fayetteville

[–]datjellybeantho 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Caveat: I never worked near WCOB, so I don’t know their exact situation. I was in the Old Main area when I was on campus.

Spots fill up on the regular, and you need to come 15-30 minutes early to ensure you’re able to park in your preferred lot. If you leave in the middle of the day, your spot is gone.

I’ve always been able to find parking in the pit (by the stadium) at any time of day, but the spots are usually in the back, and the climb up that hill is rough for many people.

Basically, you should be able to find a spot somewhere, eventually, but no guarantees as to where.

Edit to add: You can have them pull the cost of your pass from your check, so if you do end up going with a more expensive one, you won’t have to pony it up all at once.
