    • About Me

      Just started a web site blog, trying for days to do feeds but never work, studied internet a week now. >20hours a day. I will buy and sell RealEstate when I learn how. I pay birddogs for closed deals. Birddogging is fun, but I discovered I was not getting paid. I have made good money in the past, but this is a different scary market and I have a millionaire giving me advice. How exciting.

      From jaggededges September 22

      I agree that Aspies should not be forced to mainstream into proms, etc. I do not make my daughter put on a dress and go to the prom just because. She hates it and I won't force her to hang out with the "cool girly girls." She is unique in who she is and what you said made SO MUCH SENSE. Thank you. My daughter talks with her hands and hangs out with other "nerds" who are her Christian friends. Thanks for reminding me to let her be who she is.

      The suicide thing was just a bad day and I cannot say enough how stupid that post was. She is 17, but I told her she will ALWAYS be my sweet baby. I' m sure that post made me sound like a lunatic, but just wanted to clear things up I guess.

      Thanks for listening.

    • Close Chronic Pain

      IT IS 2 YEARs AND NEVER ANY RELIEF OR TREATMENT ALLOWED FOR MVA INJURIES. CANNOT CONTINURE TIS WAY. left shoulder after being twisted out of socket by police for being autistic. Then again by nurses when I was depressed about the chronic pain for being even slower processing. Decreased ROM over a decade now. New right rotator cuff tear from drill throwing me off a ladder three times Apr07. s/p MVA 9/07 multiple areas of distress, hoping still will fade.

      Treatments

      Meditation Somewhat Helpful
      Effective with typical mild to moderate distress but lack skills to deal with severe distesses. Practicing fairly regularly for 35 years.
      Acupressure Considering
      Want to learn more of this- only know for headache and that's working somewhat for the tension component when reading with double vision.
      Acupuncture Working / Worked
      For shoulder, like magic but can't afford the 4 treatments
      Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
      Was miracle at first for back pains, but SHORT TERM! residual is fairly strong discomfort-job interfering!
      Heat Working / Worked
      Ice first worked better, but heat gives some relief for back pain, shoulder none to worse currently.
      Meditation Somewhat Helpful
      Effective with typical mild to moderate distress but lack skills to deal with severe distesses. Practicing fairly regularly for 35 years.
      Morphine Somewhat Helpful
      Makes me itch horribly and vomit
      Naproxen Not Working
      stomach pain and GI bleeding by third day
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      actually not taking it for this but will see if it helps the various distresses I have WOW! stopping caused me to have even distress from barely bothersome prior pains. 900 at bedtime and 300 in am moderates pain reasonably
      Peppermint Working / Worked
      works a couple of hours at least for moderate pain, lessens severe pain alot but short time. Some other essential oils are more effective and healing, but cost prohibitive at present.
      Physical Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      For shoulder, I think I improved to a point, now regressing Won't let me have treatment for back pain
      TENS Somewhat Helpful
      Chiropractor used it and really good for a few hours after, but no access to continue

      Treatments

      Forgiveness Not Working
      at first it seemed to be good to forgive my husband's affair, but think it demeaned me in his eyes. With parents, they think it never happpened. This should be called LETTING IT GO. It is only to help me not give them any closure and won't even tell anyone I forgive them any more.
      Leave Somewhat Helpful
      Trying, no assistance. I did leave previous relationship when beaten second time in three months. He stalked me for 10 years. 10 years now of not aware of stalking. Not sure how it could help this time. And really cold to live in a car.
