ADHD Mom

@jameszimmermann Talk about an Irish goodbye…

When my great-grandmother was 93 she went in for hip surgery. Nurse told her to settle in and they’d begin in 30 minutes, when the team arrived to begin she was gone. Brings a smile to our faces every time it comes up in conversation.

@NeonVintage_arg @av2mu @BEEFONABIKE @sameQCU Cool. You sound intelligent and have thrived despite being untreated. Now just imagine what you might have achieved in those 20 yrs if your adhd had been treated. It’s not too late to get treatment.

@av2mu @BEEFONABIKE @sameQCU I just dropped out, learned a profession by myself and was hired by a company that was asking for people with a college degree, which I didnt need, I just showed up, did a test and scored 100/100 and was hired immediately and been working there for 20 years now.

ah what the hell the anti-adhd peptide thing is REAL. they might have found the causal driver for 'adhd', and it's basically entirely sleep-wake-cycle stuff (???) which explains a lot tbh

@StableSavant @bledwine @UziCryptoo My nephew is renting a room in a 5BR house in Roxbury for $1700/month. 🤯

@bledwine @UziCryptoo Roommates and you can chop that by at least half. Living alone has always been a luxury.

Things more dangerous than $7 coffees: - $40,000 wedding ($5,000/hr party) - $80,000 degree that gets you a $50,000/yr job - $40,000 car loan because you "earned it" - $2,000/mo apartments to flex for friends ...Thats why 80% of people are broke.

@sammyd0478942 @bledwine @PensFan125 @UziCryptoo Students’ parents, partly.

@bledwine @PensFan125 @UziCryptoo I have no idea. Certainly not me

@ElieJarrougeMD @timber1258 My friend has had high BP since she was in her early 20s, despite being fit and average weight. She was told it was genetic.

Good job! Sometimes BP is the last to improve. If you still have more to go with weight loss or your insulin isn’t as low as it should, just be patient. The other thing could be that target strict control isn’t really necessary and when you start reduce meds, you may find BP remaining stable. It takes careful monitoring and adjustment.

Patient with high blood pressure for 10+ years on 3 meds. Was told to avoid salt religiously. It didn’t work. At my direction, he kept salting his food, but cut carbs significantly. Off 2 meds in 8 weeks 💪🏼 Hypertension isn’t a salt problem. It’s a sugar problem in disguise.

@AlexObviousV1 @bluewmist Thru luck/grace of God, I’m the only one in my family w/o some kind of substance issue. Cigarettes were mine-I gave up 25 yrs ago w/help of meds. Replacement behaviors are incredibly helpful plus “avoiding the near occasion of sin” and good mental health hygiene/therapy/support

The entire point of recovery is to live in a way where you don’t need a wind down because you give daily maintenance to your nervous system via connection and vulnerability, handling stress as it comes through Inventory (what you can’t change) as well as action and/or amends (what you can)

Sober people (no alcohol, nicotine, drugs, etc ever), what is your end of day or weekend "wind-down"?

@bluewmist I’m not 100% sober but very rarely drink and partake of nothing else. A calming end of day for me includes: reading or watching a show wrapped in a blanket on the sofa with my cat, doing NYT puzzles, a fire in the fireplace, maybe a cup of decaf tea or coffee and some cookies.

@brownrobin64 @pcdebol @SaveStandard @KimTayl20716792 Because it’s is natural time that best aligns with our internal clocks. It is much better for health.

👏 BREAKING: Kansas house committee approves SB 1 to ditch Daylight Saving Time! Already approved by KS Senate, now qualifies for final vote in KS House this week. Effective date coordinates with Missouri. 👉 Remind your KS state reps YES on SB 1 today!

@MatthewCappucci Ok, you were wrong. But now you have the benefit of hindsight. Given you did NOT have that benefit of hindsight yesterday when schools were using your information (and others) to make decisions, why do you think it was wrong to take a more conservative approach?

I argue it gains credibility in the long range… despite a bit of short-term awkwardness. If people can SEE the scientific process in action, they’re more likely to give us grace when we’re a bit off.

I tried to take this same approach doing TV… admitting faults live on air was a risky gamble, especially when I was 23-24 in D.C. But part of being a scientist is being transparent when a hypothesis (forecast) is not correct. Science has no room for ego.

@DrollQueenAmber @TansuYegen Blow a hair dryer at it.

@TansuYegen I stayed at an Airbnb like this during summer in SC. They had the air conditioning locked on 73 🤮

Airbnb locked the thermostat so this guest tricked it with freezer food 😂

@TheDMVLive What is causing this?

NOW: standing water across all lanes of Southbound I-270 at Tuckerman Lane causing major back-ups in Bethesda, Maryland. One lane squeezes by through the high waters. Expect delays. 🚨

@SouthwestAir @LocalFamily Oh FFS

@LocalFamily Hello, Rob. Our apologies for the extended hold times. If you are still needing assistance, feel free to send us her confirmation number in a DM! - Connor twitter.com/messages/compo…

Hey @SouthwestAir still waiting

@niswarth @vipintukur Nope. No more lockdowns. Anywhere. Ever. For any disease. Let Darwin lead the way. Hemorrhagic fever? Antibiotic resistant infections? Fck them kids. Let it roll and watch em drop like flies.

@vipintukur Ofcourse, people will soon forget or would've forgotten what happened to them in 2020-21 in the name of a virus. Another set of lockdowns is just another variant of concern away.

A NEW review examines how COVID-19 may affect memory and cognitive function. ➡️ Evidence suggests that inflammation in the brain, activation of immune cells called microglia, and possible vascular injury can disrupt normal brain signaling. ➡️ These changes may contribute to symptoms such as brain fog and memory problems seen in some people after COVID-19. ➡️ Further research is needed to better understand these mechanisms and develop effective treatments. mdpi.com/2571-6980/7/1/…

@SenRandPaul All this to avoid admitting that covid is airborne. All they needed were N95 masks.

The pseudoscience of Anthony Fauci.

@capitalweather I feel like this post is a nudge at school superintendents.

Noting: While storms may be most widespread late afternoon and evening Monday, a few severe storms -- capable of producing tornadoes -- could develop between midmorning and midafternoon. Some areas could see more than one round of storms. You need to be weather-aware all day.

@DeathlyHarvest @davideyoungmd @noahkaufmanmd @KaufCare My co-pay for an ER visit is $250.

The response to yesterday’s post about opening @KaufCare has been incredible. After 20 years in the ER I saw the same thing every shift: Patients waiting forever. Ridiculous bills. Frustrating for patients & docs. Too many middlemen. That’s why we’re trying a different model.

@MCPS I will be picking my kids up at lunch tomorrow and bringing them home, but most parents don’t have that privilege. If they don’t close early, they should at least excuse any absences.

MCPS is monitoring the potential for a strong storm for Monday, March 16, and will announce any updates concerning operations, including any cancellations of activities or an early dismissal on Monday morning. Visit the MCPS website for more information.

@KristiLeighTV @markmaggiore Why would God keep baby and mother connected if we have to cut it?

@markmaggiore Not until it was done pulsing!

I think I'm going to advise against my kids getting their wisdom teeth taken out. I wish I hadn't gotten mine out. I feel duped. Why would God have us all grow teeth that need to be taken out?

@RockyMcg @washingtonpost We in our 50s. Zero student debt. Never had it. Nope. It’s the health care costs. It’s insane.

@washingtonpost Healthcare costs? lol. Maybe getting a 100K+ student loan debt as soon as you graduate high school along with housing costs being so ridiculously high has something to do with it.

Americans are driving less, skipping meals and putting off big life moves, like buying homes or having children, to keep up with health care costs, according to two Gallup polls. wapo.st/4sdN6Q4

@ben_nick_syder @amdissident84 @mr_jay_pea Yes and no. Our internal biology aligns with the sun. What we are doing at different times of day matters. How much sun we are exposed to and when matters biologically.

@ADHDMom5 @amdissident84 @mr_jay_pea Time is a construct anyway. We set it to align with whatever we choose

Many people have called me a “tireless advocate for Standard Time”. “Relentless” might be a better word. I assure you I am very tired of Daylight Saving Time.
