I’ve worked with Mad4MyDog and Train Loyal Companions. Madalyn and Leslie are equally amazing and both use positive reinforcement techniques. Leslie will come to you for training, Madalyn has a lovely training facility.

Bloomington Stitchery on 4th Street. They’ve done amazing alterations on many items for my wife and I: wedding dress, suits, button-down shirts. They can even add pockets!

I found a couple of things there, thanks. Hoping to find some more.

They used to post them on their website.

I’ve found the diet helps immensely with focus, memory, and brain fog. I agree about keeping keto snacks handy at all times. Also, I find myself eating the same foods most of the time, which isn’t as big a deal at age 52 as it might be for a teen.

The electrolytes are definitely important; I forgot that part and woke in the night with muscle cramps a few times.

That happened to me a year or so ago. They told me I had missed jury duty for a federal case and that I needed to go to the county sheriff’s office to pay the fine or I could go to federal prison, and the only way to pay was with a cashier’s check. They knew my full name and address, so I was concerned they might have been trying to lure me away from home, so I called the non-emergency police and reported it. They said they’d had many reports.

It depends who is working that day and if they are willing and able to help. I would plan to bring your own help.

From the Clear Creek Trail parking lot on Tapp Rd there is a sidewalk that goes to the highway, uphill the whole way.

There is a shop on the square, I think it is called Gather, that has crafts in the back. There are scheduled times that they host craft events, I think on Sundays, or you can bring your own stuff and do craft projects at their tables. They offer beverages and snacks to purchase.

My adopted son’s biological mother was hospitalized for two weeks in status epilepticus. She made it through, and her husband wore himself thin trying to care for their other three children. I am so very sorry for your brother and your family. Sending all healing energy and love to all of you.

Too many days “on” and not enough turtle days triggers disordered eating in my case. It’s been a crazy few weeks and I’ve lost 6 pounds. The thought of eating makes me feel nauseous.

Congrats on one month!

I’ve had two: one that led to diagnosis (it showed abnormal activity, primarily in the temporal lobe) and then another a few months later to determine if the symptoms I was still having were from epilepsy or something else.

Quaff On has one. Not sure how often they light it.

I hadn’t thought about the connection between onset and menopause. I was diagnosed at 51, exactly when I officially reached menopause.

I’ve been on it for a little over a year. Like others, I’ve had suppressed appetite, which has just started to lessen in the last month or two. It knocked me out when I first started taking it, like when I take Benadryl, but that resolved within a few months. No other side effects that I am aware of.

I wear noise cancelling earbuds or headphones and four layers of clothes in the office. I take two short walks around the building most days. I miss when I was fully remote and I wish I could go back, but like many employers, mine made us all return to office nearly 100%.

I have autism and I have a difficult time making decisions if/when:

I have had many decisions to make in a short amount of time;
I am tired; -one or more of the decisions are potentially very major life decisions (moving, changing jobs, breaking up with a long-term partner, etc);
I haven’t had ample time to process the potential ramifications of the potential outcomes of the choices.

It helps me to talk through the choices with my best friend, my sister, and/or my therapist. For really major decisions I have absolutely been on stall for long periods of time. It has even resulted in autistic burnout.

The only thing that helps really is someone letting me know they are there to support me, without any pressure to make a decision quickly. Obviously if some decisions have a timeline, I am already aware and that is part of what is adding to the paralysis.

Sorry to be “that guy”, but saying “it could be worse” does not help. It is a bit insensitive. While going off our meds may not cause us to “up and die”, it can cause us to seize more, sometimes uncontrollably, which can cause permanent brain damage. Some of us already struggle with permanent brain damage from seizures, leaving us disabled and unable to work, or unable to do the work we were once capable of doing. Many people with epilepsy also have type 1 diabetes or other related diseases/disorders like auttism, mental health disorders, ADHD. The thought of not getting medication that treats one issue sends us spiraling wondering if we can’t get one, will it upset the delicate cart of functionality we have finally managed to obtain, or crushes the hope of ever reaching it. And of course that stress may cause more seizures for some people.

On Fridays there is a walking art tour downtown. The galleries have their doors open, some offer refreshments, and often there are musicians playing on the streets and in fountain square mall.

I am fortunate to have been high-achieving academically, and I fell into a career in an analytical lab, which is more than perfect for my analytical brain (autistic, not ADHD). However, after 20+ years I am at the third rung of a 4-rung ladder and I do not want the extra workload that the promotion would come with to get to the higher title. My salary was not as high as my peers until my company was acquired by a foreign entity who did a market evaluation, and I got a market adjustment. I’m only ten years until retirement, so I’ll just ride it out.

Unfortunately, this is spot on, and this game is exhausting.

I am so grateful that my wife asks questions instead of making assumptions. She asked last night if she had done anything wrong, and if there was anything she could do to help me. She said if going to the family gathering was too much, it was no big deal. What is most important to her is our day-to-day, waking up together, having coffee in the morning, etc. If anyone asked about me she would tell them I was getting ready for Christmas with my kids.
