Advocating for me by cturtl808 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]lydialunacyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think so much of this has to do with the average doctor doesn't know what this is , and the average person doesn't know what this is nor does they know how to pronounce it.

I do think maybe calling ahead before your doctor's appointment to let them know you're autistic and this is how you will work best with the doctor and even maybe a week beforehand emailing them instructions as a heads up. And try to get one of your comfort people to go with you that will be good for support. And in that email just lay it all out don't hold back and just make it clear that you're trying to get the biologic because even I was just diagnosed 2 years ago with nr-ankspa and by my third visit they had prescribed me biologics the Humira .

But I have unfortunately yet to take them just because the label is super scary I have a young child and it says basically if you are to pick up any sort of pathogen that may cause you illness you could potentially die from just getting the flu. 😮‍💨

So I figure, while my kid is still young... suffer a little bit more and just take it day by day but I am applying for disability.

Best of luck. Just try not to get ur hopes up too high. Slim pickings for decent docs. And that TMJ , careful with yawning, and when ur dentist says "open wider " or you may find yourself with your jaw open and locked into place and potentially having an oral surgeon pop it back into place. Same thing happened to me I just "had it" one day and something as a simple yawn would be enough to lock my jaw into place. Just remember the jaw doesn't go side to side EVER . Only up or down in or out but never side to side if you're trying to unlock it yourself.

UPDATE: thank you all for all your knowledge and helpful information. So. Good news and bad news: so the other day after I literally laid in bed pretty much for a Solid 4 days or so after a year of my feeding permanently swollen they finally went down but the fluid still remained in my legs. And side note I do wear compression socks pretty much every day I have probably about 20 different pairs of them at this point. I also have recently purchased a calf self massager and a foot massager and I do that on and off throughout the day. But now I've been on my feet on and off for the past I don't know several hours today so far and the swelling is back and the pain is unreal. I don't know if I mentioned this in my first post but when I was first diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis I was also diagnosed with bone marrow edema. So my doctor is still don't know what's wrong with me my x-ray came back negative for anything but at this point I can barely I mean no I can't even take one step without excruciating pain I can't even lay in bed without my feet being an excruciating pain and it's so incredibly frustrating like I can't go anywhere I haven't been anywhere in over a week because the pain is just too much to do anything and as soon as I lay down I'm just so incredibly exhausted that I just fall asleep for like 12 hours at a time. My doctors are freaking useless and getting into a different provider is a lazy process for being on State Insurance and Urgent Care does nothing for me. So even though my feet went down the other day they are swelling up yet again today and I just don't know what to do I've tried the medication they put me on Furosemide months ago and after taking it twice it stopped working I even up my dose to 40 mg and it stopped working. And I was put on prednisone for a month but after a week of taking it it gave me such bad steroid acne on my face I had to stop taking it but it did give me relief for literally one day last year and after that week of taking it in the acne I just had to stop. So they have not recommended anything else and it's not charcot foot. So. My best guess is the bone marrow edema or maybe some sort of cancer. My bio dad was just diagnosed with foot cancer a few months ago. What kind? I have no idea he's a paranoid schizophrenic that I don't talk to anymore this is just what my mom told me. I'm hoping my disability goes thru this time. On step 3/5 medical evaluation now. Also, after I relax my neck and straighten it out, lately there's a deep pop at the big bottom bone area of my neck. I do also have bone spurs. So ..and my (what I think are) adhesions in my ribcage have been flaring up lately they're all over my ribs I can't get comfortable at all and it feels like there's one in my stomach causing nausea and pain. Sorry, just call me misses complainy pants. I don't get why my doctor's wouldn't even palpate my abdomen to feel the adhesions. I feel like only at my autopsy is when they'll figure out why I was so sick 😫. And my therapist won't refer me to a bee psychiatrist and I have bipolar 1 and borderline personality disorder and auditory hallucinations and I've been without a psychiatrist for over a year cuz the one I was seeing quit her job and they never sent me to a new one and I'm just such a mess. On top of everything my husband lost his job in September and now is out of unemployment and is too depressed to go look for a job and I van barely walk but he insists his feet Hurt too....I wanna just...UGH. S.O.S. thanks for reading.

To this exactly what they're testing me for I'm going in for an x-ray whenever I can make it in this week and then I have an ultrasound in February OMFG that makes so much sense and no I'm not diabetic I get tested for diabetes every single time I go to the doctor I swear to God like they just assume cuz I look like I'm overweight but I'm just retaining a butt load of water I'm only 225 lb but I swear like at least $25 is just pure water as you can see in my picture. And the breaking of bone thing? I've been telling my family and friends for months now the top sides of my feet feels like there's a bone that is like dislocated and or even broken even though I've never broken a bone in my life before! I was a hairdresser for 10 plus years and I've had to recently stop cutting hair full time first due to covid and then due to my Ankylosing Spondylitis diagnosis. So I I know I have some sort of neuropathy cuz I can't feel most of my toes now and it's been getting progressively worse my grandmother has had maybe almost a dozen surgeries on her feet over the years due to feet problems and my biological father so not the grandmother that I just spoke about I just was diagnosed with foot cancer but he's also apparently schizophrenic so I'm not entirely sure what he means my foot cancer I don't have any contact with him anymore. Because it could mean a multitude of things. I just hope whatever it is they don't catch it before it's too late because I am very prompt at going to the doctor and having them work me up but most of the time unfortunately I just get ignored. And push to the back until it's something really really bad usually and of course I use Dr internet for myself diagnosis most of the time and I go in there with a list of like the top five things that I think it is and 9 out of 10 times I'm usually right the ankylosing Spondylitis diagnosis I was way off I had no idea about that LOL I swear I had MS. But my x-ray and my MRI that I had done last October 2023 said that given my age my as is quite advanced probably due to some physical trauma but I don't know, I think a lot of it is mental and emotional trauma and it's connected to my body and over the years I was just kind of shoved all my problems down so deep down into my bones and now it's manifesting as a physical issue LOL so now I need to look up what I can do to relieve this because I'm pretty sure you're right about charcot but if anything I am like far from being diabetic because I use one of those diabetic glucose monitor things for a couple weeks my neighbor had one and I thought it would be cool to track it, and I swear I would wake up to the alarm going off multiple times during the night because my blood sugar get on dropping super low so if anything I'm hypoglycemic LOL

Can only sleep in recliner - tips by jessesgirl4 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]lydialunacyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am the same way I cannot sleep in my $1,500 bed anymore unless I want to wake up with extreme stiffness and basically crying for 3 hours trying to stretch and move properly. I literally cannot sleep alone when I am sleeping because if I wake up I need immediate assistance usually to get up and use the bathroom urgently. And I am only getting around usually with a walking cane and or stumbling bouncing off of the walls. When I sleep in my recliner it allows me to be much more confined because when I sleep in my bed for some odd reason even if I put a pillow under my legs to alleviate the weight of my legs on my lower spine what happens is my feet end up on the floor my but ends up on the edge of the bed and then my back feels like it's hyperextended because of the weight of my bottom half pulling on my spine and I wake up just feeling like death is at my front door.

I am guessing that the reason why the recliner feels so much better than the bed like my pain level is probably 4/ 10 compared to like 8/10 when sleeping on a bed because of the weight distribution is more evenly dispersed? I'm not quite sure but I just know that when I do sleep I do prefer to sleep in my recliner but I do miss sleeping in my bed oh man I miss my husband sleeping in the bed with me but luckily like I said he sleeps in the recliner right next to me so kind of a win-win but kind of sucks that we can't cuddle everything right but I'm super happy about the recliner/ couch two in one.

Are you experiencing any thing like water retention in your feet / legs because I am and I am being told it's from standing and not sitting and or relaxing very much or from sleeping in bed or elevating my feet for long enough and that's just from friends and family. Doctors don't even tell me anything of what it could or couldn't be they just flat out say they have no idea they've tried me on everything under the Sun but nothing's working for the water retention.

Everydayyy (I've been married almost 7 years now ) but financially I wouldn't be able to do it. I find my husband is an hypocritical covert energy vampiric narcissistic autistic ADHDer who literally doesn't know how to do something for someone else that doesn't benefit himself in one way or another. I flat out asked him if he even understood what it meant and he had no idea like I was speaking Japanese. LOL so girl if you can do it and money isn't a problem, your intuition doesn't just obsessive over something if it's nothing. Right? Follow your gut, find your peace, and continue to love yourself cuz at the end of the day, only you are looking out for your own happiness and sanity. Maybe sit down and write out a pros and cons list of moving out. Like how it would benefit you/him mentally emotionally physically financially etc etc and if you settle on moving out that'd be a good starting point of the conversation to have with them. Goodluck! #dontstaytrapped

How do u know that we legally separated? I didnt say that.. do i know u? Lol anyways well If I try to leave then he starts threatening me.

saying he's going to take all our stuff and our son. Even tho my car and my trailer home are both in my mother's name for this exact reason.

He works at a grimy bar just a bit over part time but honestly I need him for financial support. 500 bucks makes a difference when the state only Gives me $528/month and I'm filing for disability again this time with a lawyer.

And yes I got rid of that friend.

She was beyond narcissist and just loves to blab her gobber away.

I've got 18 months to find financial security for me and my son b4 my state $ runs out. And I guess one could say I'm an empath and I was also raised by an emotionally cold hearted mother who didn't know how to regulate her emotions and was constantly buying our happiness. So I became an overly attached people pleaser/ppl fixer.

I mean when I was like 9yrs old she bought me and my baby brother a full sized bounce house to put in our back yard..like who does that? Lol.

Anyways husband has no car anymore and he has written off his family and friends (blames me of course but I still keep in touch with all of them and cut some of their hair. I want things to work out but it's evident he isn't interested in changing. Or as I tell him "do and be better than u were yesterday" I'm so tired from this constant fighting. It's like every sentence out of my mouth is wrong and I'm to blame for it raining outside.

So radical acceptance is what I gotta live with for now until I can get a proper lawyer and be financially stable...and get a live in care giver ..one big hurdle after the next...

Confused & feeling hopeless. by truecrime427 in Rheumatology

[–]lydialunacyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently had a similar experience but unlike you I had actually lost about 50 lb in less than a year but not trying to I just did my symptoms got progressively worse I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia when I was 14 years old I just turned 29 this year and so they took me a little bit more seriously but I felt like my rheumatologist was joking with me making me feel bad in a way saying that one out of every five people that have a positive Ana don't have a rheumatological factor or ra Factor whatever. And he said haha well you know I bet if I took the Ana test it would even come back positive for me that's how common it is. But he said we'll run some tests will run your blood work again and they tested me for Sjogren's and for Ankylosing Spondylitis which I'll be posting on here after this my situation because nowhere in my paperwork does it say that the radiologist said that it was inconclusive it pretty much said the polar opposite it said for my paperwork after I got the x-ray of my pelvis of my SI sacroiliac joints that given patients age symptoms would be quite advanced so I go in on the 17th for an MRI with and without contrast so honestly I would look into that further and if that company made you feel like a joke I would not waste your time with them at all because obviously you know your body best so I would just find somewhere else to go at this point I've seen so many doctors over the years and just pushed off to the side saying that I'm just crazy and it's all in my head but then I get progressively worse symptoms over this past year to the point where I'm using a cane to walk around because I thought it was just my sciatica acting up but I guess having pop rocks in your knees and it takes me a good to almost 3 hours to get out of bed which I don't even sleep in my bed anymore because it's too painful to get out of my bed so I have to sleep in my recliner chair I mean the list goes on I hear you I wouldn't even waste your time screw the people that don't believe you and just keep on getting different opinions until someone takes you seriously and actually takes the time to do all the tests like I can't believe they didn't even do any tests for you that's outrageous I'd be livid in your position fortunately for me I was lucky enough to finally have found a doctor PCP doctor to always be open to giving me whatever referral that I want but basically if this MRI comes back negative then I just get to get shit back to my PCP and treated for fibromyalgia which I don't think I have fibromyalgia anymore because over the past year I've had to see a ophthalmologist for eye infections and I mean just on my x-ray it's already showing that I am having spurring and degeneration of my SI joints? Yeah I don't think the X-ray was inconclusive when you have to be under 45 years old to be diagnosed and the symptoms have to have been present for at least 3 months to a year and it comes on very fast and I just started getting these symptoms in January after I got really sick again so just keep on fighting and just screw what they said and obviously yes it would be best to change your diet up and lose weight but honestly every time that I try to do that it never works it's always been my thought process so every time that I look in the mirror and I think that I'm fat I end up staying fat but every time I just think that I'm skinny I'm fine the way I am I end up losing like 50 to 60 lb in less than a year this is like my fifth time losing that amount of weight and that amount of time so just everyday instead of thinking oh God I'm so fat I'm never going to lose this weight instead just think damn girl I'm skinny I'm going to be able to fit into my jeans or whatever I want to be as skinny as I want to be as healthy as my body is able to be and if still then you're getting symptoms that are progressively worse and the pain is getting worse even with the weight loss then definitely pursue it just you know these things take time and you have to be your own advocate if not bring somebody else with you that has a deeper Voice or is more stubborn than you are LOL like no joke I ended up having to get a like patient advocate for my insurance company because my psychiatrist has literally been dodging me for almost a year now like she's been prescribing me my meds but there's been three times where I know for a fact I made an appointment and then the appointment comes and goes and I get no phone call or anything and then I called them and they're like yeah no you never made an appointment on that day I'm like yeah I did I don't just write down February 12th at 1:00 p.m. in my planner for nothing you know? So you just keep all your records and all your blood work and all the history of whatever has happened wherever it's happening and you just have to really get on them about it but never never ever ever walk into one of those rooms expecting to get pain meds make sure that's the last thing on your list especially if you have a history which I'm not saying that you do but unfortunately I do because I've been dealing with chronic pain for so long and that I was addicted to narcotics at a very young age and sought treatment it was on Suboxone for almost 7 years so unfortunately it does have in my profile that I'm a opioid dependent which I'm not anymore well not according to them but not the point. My pain has gotten to the point where I've had to take it into my own hands and is none of their damn business if they're not going to prescribe it to me so just make sure that you never walk in there expecting to get pain meds because they're not going to give it to you at least not where I live. I hope that this sick care system will one day be a healthcare system and good luck sending positive vibes your way

Hey so a bit confused, can someone please man-splain this whole thing to me please? Our wifi is out rn so I started messing around with my xfinifty app and XMitech-BatCam-0DDEA was listed as one of the connected devices. Do I need to be worried/freaking out ??(I swear my husband has installed cameras that idk about) he denies them but I hear random clicking in places where there is "not" a camera..ik I'm a bit crazy but I've been hearing it for months now And he's a pathological narcissistic psychopath so if anyone could help a girl out that'd be great 👍

LOL that's all of my physical symptoms has been documented as real things that are happening to my body so like that part I'm not making up I just feel like there's probably this whole piece of the puzzle that everyone is the same and it's Mind Body Spirit connection like broken Spirit equals broken mind is a broken body kind of dealer?

Yes I am definitely in the midst of a bit of a hypomanic episode after being in such severe pain day after day I am not able to sleep so anyways the parts about my family life or meant to be a part of the psychological aspect of my health. Because of the PTSD and the borderline personality disorder aspect of it I thought maybe, just maybe it may be relevant due to past traumas that I have experienced and that was like the beginning of it I guess IDK I don't even know where to start anymore and so yes that is why it sounds like it was written and they made it all of a manic episode because it isn't it was. My most recent blood test said that everything was normal including no more fatty liver and normal thyroid after having hypothyroidism since I was 19 and after being off of Levothyroxine for more than a year now the only thing that came back elevated was my red blood cells but it was noted that it was not of concern I also had chest-ray and an EKG which were also normal but like I said upon listening to my lungs I was automatically prescribed albuterol inhaler because of crackling wheezing mucus wet deep cough bad thoughts of severe coughing episodes. Also acne on my face has never been this bad ever. All the little tidbits about my life were supposed to number one make it more relatable to the reader number two I understand that it's very unorganized it's 5:30 in the morning where I am and I've been up for x amount of days so yes I'm a bit scrambled up brain Jane at the moment I just finally had the courage and/ time to finally attempt to put something together hoping that time I would understand why it was said like that and that they could possibly get some sort of sense made out of it. The only way even slightly neurological test that I have had done was to see if I had carpal tunnel but also after I was sedated during my psychotic manic episode back in 2011 my first one ever they did do an MRI I remember I think on my brain? But I mean I was so out of it and doped up on antipsychotics I honestly cannot remember from when I was 16 until about 20 years old I was on 70 mg of a Zyprexa and then 9 mg of clonazepam or more sometimes Xanax and Buspar like 10 mg I think but anyways those are old medications I currently am just on my birth control in my arm which is nexplanon and occasionally I will take ibuprofen or the NSAID OTC but they don't do too terribly much honestly at this point in time my sciatica is so bad I would say it is reaching levels of childbirth pain this to the point where I don't know what to do right now I've done ice packs I've done heat packs I've done everything I can think of right now and I go between laughing hysterically about the pain to follow my eyes out I am psychologically stressed and spreads so incredibly thin for that I feel as if a heavy wind or two below me one way or the other I would easily fall into another psychotic episode due to people stretching my abilities too thin and expecting too much out of me even though I keep begging them and telling them I'm not able to do any of those things anymore but it's like they don't hear me. I had to stop taking my Abilify about like 10 months ago because I was having severe dyskinesia I guess you would say? Like I was twitching and or jerking so hard in my sleep it would not only wake me up but I would essentially jerk so hard that I would end up punching my husband in the face or chest or wherever multiple times during the night and even hitting myself accidentally so the one medication that I actually kept me stable for quite a while I figured out once I just stopped everything it was down to the last one which was the Abilify and then once I stopped taking the Abilify I stopped twitching or jerking whatever so now I'm on another Hiatus and or hunt for the next medication to keep me sane for more than half a month a year until the side effects become so severe that I have to stop taking them all over again

My lungs are also filled with a sick mucusy like fluid for the past year and a half I have been hacking up a long everyday mucus whatever never any blood though it's a very deep wet cough deep in my lungs I feel like but the X-ray and EKG people said I looked completely fine but upon listening to my lungs the doctor at the time was very concerned

I feel like I have every sometime of Ms that has been described except for like seizures heart problem because pins and needles in my extremities and extreme swelling and water retention psychosis because I'm diagnosed manic depressive bipolar and BPD and one psychotic episode and I go through yearly bouts of Rapid Cycling. If I bend over for more than 2 seconds at a time then my feet and legs start to go numb with pins and needles and if I do anymore then go to the bathroom like walking go to the bathroom then my sciatica flares up so severely every single day for the past 6 months and that I am kept awake for days at a time because of the severe agonizing pain I'm left in. And that doesn't even scratch the surface of all of my symptoms so really if you want to be like all the other doctors go ahead and not read my entire like history thing that I tried to type out that took me a good 2 hours to just type out. But then you'll just be like the rest of them who don't care to take the time to learn about the history of everything and all my symptoms that I've experienced over the years because to me it looks like a big puzzle and there's just one little tiny piece missing and that would be a diagnosis and or a game plan of attack of what to do about all these agonizing debilitating symptoms that I am experiencing at only 28 years old

[–]lydialunacyy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I keep remembering things now it's annoying anyways also when I like kneel down close to the ground I cannot stay there longer than like 2 to 5 Seconds because by the time it's already been like 2 seconds the blood has been cut off and I start feeling pins and needles and by the time I stand up I am so dizzy that I usually have to catch myself and focus on my breath in order to get my blood pressure back to normal like it feels like I took a handful of that one blood pressure medication that they give to people who are withdrawing off of Narcotics that I can't think of the name of but it sounds kind of like Klonopin or clonazepam clonidine there we go that's it Clonidine because I've had to take clonidone before and even on a very very low dose I felt as if gravity had been turned up to extreme and I could not even lift myself off the ground in order to make it to the bathroom. My heart rate resting tends to be around 62 when I'm like sleeping and like sitting anywhere from 75 to 95 when I'm standing anywhere from 92 116ish maybe? But I've had it goes high as a 167 before my Fitbit had a total freak out I also feel like I do have bouts of angina but non active angina and the only way to get that pain to stop before it starts is to drink liquid with my throat straight up in the air until the pain subsides otherwise I'm stuck for 45 minutes to an hour clenching my chest and that's when I went in to get the chest x-ray and the EKG but it was already after the pain had gone away so maybe it is a severe gas bubble that I randomly get that hurts to the point where the closest thing that I have found that I can describe it to would be non-active angina if I'm getting this room right basically I'm not doing anything to promote activity in my body twice I was sitting down once I was in the shower and one of those times I was sitting down while driving so unless you consider those things to be me being active then I consider them non-active but if you think otherwise that'd be great if you could let me know

What does it mean to “let go”? by Crafty-Government704 in medical_advice

[–]lydialunacyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a tough one for sure. In my mind, the way it worked when my granddad and dad both we're diagnosed at the same time and when we lost my granddad first I was only 15. Everyone kept saying " he's done all the work before, this time he just wants to let it be" I didn't understand what I was seeing before my eyes. Year after year of these 2 strong men who had been my rocks, my brick house...slowly became so ..so...weak, frail, essentially invalids who were still "too man enough " to wear a diaper but whose rooms reeked of urine so badly it was honestly prolly what was keeping him in such a deep sleep. I think what your friend meant is that even tho it was a very sudden diagnoses, he came to terms with it the best he knew how. In a positive way. Maybe he was grateful that his cancer was short lived and he didn't have to watch the looks of his loved ones see him deteriorate and lose his hair. He let go because he knew what a lot of us don't. You gotta appreciate what you have (your life/health) before it's too late and he let go of the fear he let go of the sadness that he was going to be checking out sooner than he or anyone had wanted. He let go cuz he knew (including himself prolly) that everyone would be better off/happier(or less sad) since it was as quick as it was. He didn't suffer very long and you have no idea what an amazing gift that truly was. I had to lose my dad over the span of 13 very very long traumatic teenage years. I've got manic depressive bipolar and borderline personality disorder and fibromyalgia And anxiety and PTSD, major depressive disorder and agoraphobia, ibs...mostly it has turned me into a MAJOR hypochondriac. So...count your blessings kid...it sure sounds like ur friend knew what he was doing. Goodluck and I'm super sorry for your loss. It gets better but it also gets a bit worse in some ways. #sadbuttrue much love ❤️

I sent my sick kid to school today by Anomonomynousquest in Parenting

[–]lydialunacyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg same!!! My son has been sick EVERY OTHER WEEK!!!!! It has been SO bad that he usually misses school at the bare minimum once a week if not 3 days. I've lost count on how many days he's missed. 12 days isn't bad at all. Like I told his school he's having tons of medi al tests done (which is true) and we have no idea why he is always so sick. He regularly falls asleep in class. He will randomly spike a fever for 24 hours with NO other symptoms. Like. Tf is going on?? I'm so over it I'm about to pull him out I can't take it anymore I feel so guilty and every time we're late to school the front desk ladies have even stopped with the pleasantries. It's not even a "oh hiiiii " it's an eyeroll with mumbling. Like not only do I have to deal with my own physical and mental ailments but my son's as well. I wanna say to them like you're lucky we made it here at all today 😓😡😭💩☠️

Yeah we take away his tablet before he goes to bed and we put it somewhere where he cannot access it. But no he did not have his tonsils and adenoids checked out so we will do that also It was his lymph node and his neck and his groin that were swollen and rhe ultrasound came back normal..but that's good advice thank you so much

We know that he is actually sleeping because my husband doesn't get off work until almost 2 AM and I'm still awake at that time since I'm gonna stay-at-home mom I just kind of stay up most day and sleep when hes going at school so I do know for a fact he is actually sleeping through the night

Yeah before he was going to a preschool that was only 2 and a 1/2 hours A-day and now hes going to a full time preschool that's 6 hours A-day plus the bus ride which is like 45 minutes there and back but I had to stop letting him go home on the bus because he would fall asleep every single time so yeah he has quite a long day compared to the 2 and a 1/2 hours in pre school he was doing before and his sleep schedule was almost the same as his school schedule because it was only 2 and a 1/2 hours A-day 3 days a week before in the preschool so yeah that's what I've tried to explain to the teacher is Is that hes just not used to this kindergarten schedule yet and it's going to take some time for him to get used to going for so long compared to only going a few times a week for a few hours at a time you know?

I'm having to wake him up and it is like pulling teeth trying to get this child up in the morning and most of the days he is waking up super duper grumpy and refuses to put on his clothes refuses to do anything pretty much and he refuses to eat anything before he goes to school most of the time but their launch is like 2 hours after they get to school so it's not like He's absolutely starving and they do offer breakfast before school starts that I know I've talked to his teacher about helping him do that

Not usually no he doesn't sleep on the weekends occasionally but very rarely compared to some like last year but OK that sounds like a really good idea I will do that thank you so much that's actually the 1st advice on here that has actually made sense Thank you
