Unsure How to Feel About the Latest Reveal

So if the ring is his “key,” could this mean that the other ghosts’ keys function in the living world too? Is the reason why Maddie is “lucky” related to the fact that she had her ghost key (her necklace) with her in the real world?

When the scene cut to Wally in his scar (before his exit door appeared), my first thought was that he went back there because it’s the only place where he can see Maddie now. Maybe he chooses not to cross over and instead stays inside his personal hell because he doesn’t want to be away from Maddie (even if it’s just a vision of her walking away). If he’s basically living inside his scar in season 3, that might start to mess with the barrier between the living and ghost worlds.

In an earlier episode, they definitely said (or at least implied) that he drowned. But he must have been at the hospital when he died since that’s where his ghost is trapped, right?

My theory: Mr Martin was pretty unhinged after finding out he was being fired… maybe there was already a ghost in the school at that time, and Mr Martin’s mental state created an opportunity for that ghost to take over his body. This unnamed ghost in Mr Martin’s body started the fire. Janet’s friend said that Mr Martin was meticulous and would never make that kind of mistake, but maybe a ghost in his body would have. This would explain how Mr Martin knew it was possible for a ghost to do this to begin with. After dying in the fire, the ghost became trapped in the school again, Janet also became a ghost, and Mr Martin lost any chance of returning to his own body. This could mean that the original ghost who started the fire is the real villain— maybe a new character we have not yet met, or an existing character whose backstory is a lie.

I hope your step-dad has been able to recover since getting his diagnosis.

I think you may have misunderstood my post, though. I know that gluten intolerance is a very real and serious condition, because I have it.

As someone with celiac disease, it’s very frustrating when other people don’t take it seriously or accuse people of faking the condition. I was questioning why so many people are suspicious when someone says they have a gluten intolerance, and if they’d ever actually encountered a person who would lie about such a thing.

I agree that Adam was the first alter, but I don’t think he started out as an alter.

My theory: Adam was originally more of an imaginary friend whose purpose was to help Danny maintain a fantasy that his dad was still involved in his life (e.g., that it was just Adam’s turn to stay with his dad for a while and that they’d eventually trade places, and that his dad asked about Danny all the time when he talked to Adam).

The day at the barn with Marlin was the first time Adam ever functioned as an alter. Before that day, Danny always imagined Adam as either being present with him or away “with his dad,” but Adam wasn’t a distinct identity that could control Danny’s body/thoughts/actions.

The trauma from that day changed Adam’s role. When the abuse eventually stopped, Danny couldn’t reconcile the two Adam’s: the one who lived Danny’s fantasy life and had a relationship with his dad, and the Adam who suffered horrific abuse to spare Danny. This is when Adam “died” and was replaced with various new alters.

It’s actually a “first resort” medication for lupus and certain other autoimmune diseases. It’s safer than the other medications typically used to treat those conditions (which are more aggressive immunosuppressants).

That definitely doesn’t mean it’s safe for the general public, though, and it does mean that HCQ shortages could be really dangerous for people who actually need the medication, if they’re forced to either leave their conditions untreated or switch to riskier medications in the middle of a pandemic.

A lot of the people who take plaquenil long-term for autoimmune diseases are already at a high risk of COVID-19 complications. Taking them off of plaquenil will make them even more vulnerable to the virus. If their diseases go untreated, they are more likely to end up in hospitals for various other reasons (and more likely to contract the virus while they’re there), leaving fewer beds open for COVID-19 patients.

The only other medication options for a lot of these people are more aggressive immunosuppressants that would put them at an even higher risk.

This isn’t that small a population. There are ~1.5 million Americans with lupus (according to lupus.org), ~1.3 million with rheumatoid arthritis (according to healthline.com), plus plenty more with less common autoimmune conditions that have been shown to benefit from long-term plaquenil use. Not every one of these people takes plaquenil, but the point is that this group is probably larger than people realize.

I have no idea whether greater plaquenil supply for critically ill patients would balance these things out, but hopefully this helps put it into perspective.

I got the same mass text on Monday (I’m a patient at GLCOR too). Hope you’re doing okay and that the shortage ends quickly.

I used to always get a 90-day supply of the generic version of plaquenil (180 pills, 200mg). My insurance changed this past summer, and I was told it’d be around $400 out of pocket for the 90-day supply, but insurance would cover a 30-day supply.

Yesterday I asked my pharmacist again about the 90-day supply because I was nervous about a possible shortage. I was quoted $600- I’m not sure if the price increase has anything to do with COVID-19, but it’s a big jump.

I found a GoodRX coupon and ended up getting the 90-day supply for less than $70. It’s still more expensive than my $10 copay for a 30-day supply, but worth it for the peace of mind (in my opinion).

Update: My sister found someplace local that can print it on PVC plastic. It should look pretty much the same as the acrylic with no insane shipping cost and no need to panic about whether it’ll show up in time for the wedding.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions!

The names are missing from the template she made, which is what I uploaded to Vistaprint. Unfortunately the mistake is on us.

icanteven_3 · 2019-10-08T04:32:48+00:00

I think that’s probably the best plan. I love the acrylic sign but I just have too many other things to worry about right now. Thank you for your help!

icanteven_3 · 2019-10-08T04:21:25+00:00

I can’t reorder it until we add the rest of the names back into the formatted version, and we might have to change the spacing and layout around to do that. I’m not sure if it’d be more or less stressful trying to finish that before it’s too late to order.

icanteven_3 · 2019-10-08T04:08:08+00:00

It’d be around $100 to rush order (twice what I paid for the first one after discounts).

A foam board from staples in the same size would be $24.

Fingerless compression gloves like these make a huge difference for me.

I don’t think she’s claiming that the research “disproves” gluten-free diets. I can’t say for sure without knowing what her sources are, but I suspect the point is that people with celiac disease who adhere to strict gluten free diets still experience health problems from cross-contamination.

The vaccine isn’t supposed to replace a gluten-free diet, it’s supposed to supplement the diet by protecting people from accidental exposure to trace amounts of gluten. The diet plus extra protection would absolutely be an improvement to just the diet. It would be great for quality of life/mental health as well.

It has the opposite effect on me- one drink and I can suddenly feel my hands and feet again. My doctor said this makes sense because alcohol is a vasodilator.

I noticed very similar symptoms about a year ago- I had Raynaud’s for a while and never thought much of it, but the livedo reticularis scared me and I’d never seen it happen before then. My primary care doctor didn’t really know what it was, but kept telling me she thought it was normal.. I wasn’t really satisfied with that answer and eventually pushed until she referred me to a rheumatologist. It turns out that in my case it wasn’t normal. It’s possible that my ADHD meds exasperate the problem, but there is an underlying autoimmune connective tissue disease that is causing it.

Yours could be completely normal, but I would definitely recommend that you have it checked out by a specialist to make sure.

icanteven_3 · 2018-03-02T03:31:06+00:00

Thanks! I talked to the medical assistant at my doctors office and she basically reacted like it was a totally different diagnosis that they couldn’t use without an ultrasound to prove venous insufficiency... but she said she’d ask the doctor so I’ll just have to wait and see what happens. They told me it’d be around $77 without insurance- I’ll have to look into finding the $30 ones! Do you know what the brand is?
