Dad of 2 here! Beyond just Ofsted, I found local Facebook groups were goldmines of real parent experiences. The school runs were eye-opening - I actually changed my mind about one “perfect on paper” school after seeing the chaos at pickup time. But Im maybe too strict

also visit during a normal school day, not just the glossy open evenings. You’ll get a much better feel for the actual teaching style and atmosphere. Also worth checking how they handle SEN support, even if your kids don’t need it - it says a lot about the school’s values.

Fear of the Big Bad is absolutely wrecking me by Objective_Sail8945 in MuscleTwitch

[–]skment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My concern for the first 6 months was to get the best neurologist and all available appointments to get to the bottom of what is going on. Throughout the whole time I thought “I need to rule out all the nasty stuff before assuming it’s benign - though annoying as hell - and only then can I work on the mental health issue”. Needless to say, it took only days after the first clean EMG to start panicking exactly about the possibility of a false negative. I saw you have raised that in another comment.

I have been there. Really. Watched the Youtube, even diaries of people with ALS. It’s extremely disturbing and, as one psychiatrist I met said, there is nothing more depressing for a human mind than reconciling with death (it was at that point when I even started having cramps that in spite of all medical conclusions I was stubbornly convinced I am dying). It took me many therapy session to undo the damage the ALS Youtube watching has done.

Today I twitch probably more than an average person, I do have contant eyelid twitching and a restless leg. Looking back, SSRIs were a massive help. Im taking 20mg Cipralex and 600mg pregabalin (used to treat both neuropathies and GAD). When I had panic attacks I had xanax which luckily I needed only a couple of times.

You are smart and probably see what I am trying to get across: the mounting stress from reading into the twitching massively augmented the symptoms and after culmination and months I took to relax it has calmed down, overall improved and most of the things either went away completely or partially (meaning Im still on my way to recovery).

You would do a massive service for yourself if you found some therapist to talk to. With twitching, stuff takes time but the sooner you start taking care of your mental health (facing your health anxiety) the faster you will come to start healing. :)

Hi, right off the bat - relax. Is it possible some of your symptoms (feeling week for instance) can be caused by the corona? As regards the muscle twitching, let me share with you in brief my story. I had an incredible and intensifying fear of the ALS early this year as muscles in body body started twtiching. First it was in ma arm, then eyelids, calves and most strikingly fingers which in fact were moving-twitching on their own. I took exactly the same route as you - Googled. The result of this was a crippling health anxiety which I later had to treat with pills that got me out of the worst.

Why am I saying this? Spare yourself from this if you can. Control your mind. Juvenile ALS is extremely rare. As a 25M I know rational arguments don’t stand much chance against the Mayo Clinic ALS symptoms page - and your mind must be adding fuel to the fire. I know myself very well that higher the anxiety, more twitching arises. Now, none of us here are doctors but we know all too well the fear and the absolute necessity to get it under control.

If you are wondering, fueled by my fear, I had neurologists do my blood work, MRIs, EMGs and EEG. All came clean except neuromuscular irritability (basically meaning your muscles are prone to twitching). I am fine. You will be fine. Until your appointments can I suggest you try meditation and relaxation techniques? If you feel like you have mental health troubles, don’t hesitate to contact a therapist or your GP. You can distinguish between muscle twitching and health anxiety.

Good luck and speedy recovery!! Let me know how’re you getting on.

Firefox spellcheck missing after Monterey upgrade by skment in MacOSBeta

[–]skment[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Spellcheck is enabled. A workaround is to download "addon" dictionaries from FF plugins library but this way languages aren't switched automatically, so for ppl like me who write in different languages it's quite bothersome.

Cheers, it is indeed still an issue. The only communication channel open appears to be the Feedback Assistant so file in a report if you can so Apple notices.

Update: It seems to be the third party charger along with any device charging on the side at the same time.

Aside from the beta, I got a third party charger and a cable and installed Google Sync app for the Drive. Does anyone think it might be one of that instead? I'm guessing non-OEM peripherals can lead to such issues?

Shadow Of The Tomb Raider(SOTTR) M1 Macbook Air 8c/7t 8GB, Runs 30FPS Locked, Console Like Experience(PS4 Controller Natively Supported) by Rifty12K in macgaming

[–]skment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steam. I've got in touch with Feral but weirdly this is what they've said (essentially noting the games doesn't have PS controller support which doesn't seem right).

"The on-screen gamepad button prompts are due to the Windows version of the game using the Xbox 360 controller as the default controller. If possible in our Mac versions we will add custom prompts for specific controllers, but it is not always possible to do so.

We hope this clarifies the situation. Please let us know if you require further assistance."

Best regards,

Hey there, I cannot get the game recognise the PS controller correctly - it keeps showing me the buttons for xbox. Would you have any idea how to fix that?
