This is horrifying to me—11 years ago I was literally diagnosed 16 hours after presenting at the ED with the left side of my face numb. I started a DMD 45 days later and have only had 2 relapses in that time. I can’t believe that people have to wait so long when it’s so important to start treatment as soon as…

My 12 year-old daughter and her friends. I come home from work and they are in a puppy pile on my couch watching. They love it. It’s disturbing.
Can we please not generalize here--I have had MS for almost 11 years and I am just about her age, and I am fine. Most of the people I know with the disease are fine. It’s an inconvenience, and the shots 3 days a week are a pain, but otherwise, it’s not the hellscape people paint it to be. Also, the average lifespan…
I’ve been watiting for someone to say “With Honors”. I loved that movie. I still tear up when I think about it.
One thing—if the thread gets hot enough, and popular enough, it will show up on r/all. Which is when all of the anti-Apple people sweep in and tell their stories, and all of the neutral people chime in with theirs. It really depends on how much attention the thread gets.

My 11-year old Persistent Developmental Disorder NOS/Sensory Processing Disorder/Hypotonic daughter has recently discovered that she loves (and is actually good at) indoor rock climbing. We are now regulars at our local climbing center and she loves it. I am going to show her this and show her she can achieve anything…

I moved in with my husband (who grew up with a housekeeper—he married down) in college and neither of us knew how to clean. We bought this: https://www.amazon.com/Martha-Stewarts-Homekeeping-Handbook-Everything/…
Isn’t the third dose unnecessary if the child gets the first 2 early enough? My 11-year-old starts in October. Our Ped has said she will only need 2 because she will be getting them early enough, and the new literature indicates it’s not necessary to do all three.
High five fellow MS haver—I think I was sliding toward atheist before the diagnosis, but damn if it didn’t seal the deal. This disease is not ‘God’s Plan’, otherwise God is a sadistic fuck who is thrilled by my daughter watching me die in centimeters.
That is EXACTLY what I said when I heard it—it’s a crappy Meghan Trainor song knockoff.
The mid-late nineties suicide in LA? My kid brother watched that one too—who the fuck cuts from afternoon cartoons to a police chase that ends in the guy blowing his brains out and setting fire to his dog? That one was seriously traumatizing for kids watching.
