My family had the same initial response. I'm convinced there is nothing that can be done really, and doctors and stories here and from other people seem to confirm it. Since then, my wife and I are learning ASL (we find it fun to learn, and it's already being useful in certain environments). I...

I'm in the same boat. Doctors haven't seemed to care to diagnose a cause and I've seen a similar list to your's, with the addition of Meniere's. They did do an MRI to rule out a potential tumor (since one side is significantly worse than the other for me, this was a concern). That came back...

I k ow some folks here have found these useful so I figured I'd share the sale. http://smile.amazon.com/Boogie-Board-8-5-Inch-Writing-PT01085BLKA0002/dp/B00AFPR684/

The cold warm thing has a name... Do I remember it? no... I sort of just shrugged it off. It doesn't last long for me and it's not terribly annoying or anything. Doctor said it wasn't a big deal. I'm not out in the cold too often either, I've mostly noticed it when hiking on chilly days...

Epi-pens are prescription only and for emergency treatment of anaphylaxis. The lip swelling symptom is sometimes included in analphylaxis. For me it was some mouth/throat swelling and describing difficulty swallowing that triggered the Doctor to write a prescription. For Hives, it's like 99%...

Thank dogmom, that makes sense to me. I still need to get a better grasp on how deaf and Deaf are connected but still separate. I think I have a pretty good grasp on how they're separate, its the coupling I still need to figure out more.

This is true too. Legal sanity is different from what I'm talking about. That's a good point and easily miscommunicated. Insane, psychopath, schizophrenics, I think they all think they're doing g the right thing. That's what makes it insanity though. It's not the right thing but they honestly...

Yikes grape seed oil is getting popular as one of those trendy healthier options I think. That's also probably another one if those unlabeled ones too I would think. With anaphylaxis my doctor told me the reaction can vary and be more severe one time even though in the past it wasn't too bad. I...

We're so lucky :-D Mine is pine nuts, apparently rare. Luckily usually easily avoided and not something I would say feel sad that I can't eat. It's pesto that sneaks into things though... freaking pesto... What's worse is sometimes it's ok because it can be made with pine nuts, but isn't...

Anaphylaxis is no fun, but when safer to experience it than under the care of doctors? They do allergy challenges to determine allergens still and anaphylaxis happens. When I was tested (after self-identifying my trigger) they started with a blood test and told me if the blood test came back...

A specific example of what Reba said would be a serial killer like Jeffrey Dahmer. There is absolutely no way someone could say Dahmer was sane, I just can't buy that. But methodical? sure. Thought out, yup. Sane? no chance. It comes down to what definition of sane you accept. The definition...

I don't think I understand audism well enough yet then. What I read was a personal experience, his opinion. He values hearing and had a good experience getting a CI. He did also make the recommendation, based on his opinion and experience, that people get their kids implanted. An ableism is...

Crazy means mentally deranged, which means insane. Insane is defined as: in a state of mind that prevents normal perception, behavior, or social interaction. I think we'd all agree he was in a state of mind that prevented normal behavior, social interaction, and possibly also perception. It...

I can add to this from the other side, as well as a bit from my perspective being HOH now. Becoming HOH later though means it's just incoming communication that's tough for me. For communicating to someone I have my voice. Before I started learning sign language (in fact quite a while ago) I...

Technically yes, but I think everyone knows what I meant

That's pretty awesome, thanks for sharing it rockin'robin!

Most people are rational, driven by some degree of logic. It's apparent in how they make decisions. But there are other people who are simply irrational. There might be a "reason", but it's almost certainly not a rational one. I don't think there is a rational reason to murder 2 people in cold...

It seems like having a more accessible way to get help for people who have a long history of erratic behavior, and other such behavioral and mental issues, could really help with these sorts of incidents of violence... This could have been prevented. :(

Yes it is due to discrimination. I reread what I wrote and added an edit. Anywhere I said problem or barrier of entry or cause should have been more along the lines of are the aspects that lead to discrimination. The features that are discriminated against or that trigger the discrimination or...

This paints a good picture of how the issue has a second paradigm. Truthfully, it is easier being white than black in the US (maybe world wide). I think most people know this. I think Blacks know this. There is definitely something to the white privilege thing, doors open more easily if you...
