Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
ita, it sounds like your doc is a good egg. I hope he finds something to help.
You there's nothing like being dumped with a many versions of comments on a document without any direction on how to synthesize them. Only to be told while working on the final set of comments they need a summary of all the changes made. (And I'm in WP, where track changes isn't as easy.)
What is the calculation for when Hannukah occurs? I didn't know it was a movable feast, like Easter.
There was an episode of the NPR program The World that was about parents of kids with ADD/ADHD who then discover -- due to their kid's diagnosis -- that they themselves have ADD/ADHD. There was a portion of the show where listeners could call in, and one dad called in and he was just a seething ball of barely repressed anger. The way he described his son's behavior patterns did, in fact, sound super frustrating (although it sounded like the kid had ODD, not ADHD [not that I'm a doctor]). I don't deny that. But this dad was just so angry that it made me sad for the kid.
Frequently co-morbid. Very frequently.
Bonnie, I think the mother needs to be seeing a professional with kids, especially one with ADD/ADHD/ASD kids. (Because no matter how stubborn and angry she's being, she's also not wrong that you can't know. You can't. No non-parent can. I thought I did, but nope. I didn't. So she needs, as Msbelle suggested, to have that not be something she can respond with.)

I tried to give her a referral before we even started working together, and am at the point of wanting to refer her again. It will have to be handled really carefully, given the tenuous nature of her hold on 'help.'
I fear she will take the suggestion as me giving up...which isn't entirely without merit. I'm not giving up on the potential for change but on my ability to facilitate it.
I'm sorry, ita. This is, as you well know, so damn fucked. And finding the energy to manage it is nearly as hard as the disease itself. I'm glad your current neuro at least admits pain is a responsibility of his to manage.
Anyway, sympathy from a slightly less fucked continent of Migraine World. (I'm currently attempting to force Former Paradise to actually *give me* the disability insurance specified in the benefits list.)
I have nothing to offer but sincere sympathy; if you want, feel free to e-me and I can give you a list of the newest meds my specialists want to try on the very remote offchance there's something you haven't tried.
I didn't know it was a movable feast, like Easter.
The Hebrew calendar is a lunar one, which is why Nilly's birthday is...I don't know when it is, and I feel like a bad person.
My migraine specialist is less effective than I'd like, but he's my third specialist, and definitely my favourite, and I really don't want a fourth. I have a new preventative to try, and hopefully that arrives soon (shipped from Canada).
It's not movable the same way Easter is, Connie, it's just on a calendar that isn't 365 days long.

Huh, I can read it, but it hurts and I don't mean that figuratively.
