Last night my mom told me (and forced me) to do things with this guy that she's and my aunt has been setting up with. I don't like this guy. I'm just simply not attracted to him. That should've been enough reason. But because my mom has NPD, I have to do everything she says or else she'll keep gaslighting and manipulating me, and of course, make me feel guilty. I said yes yesterday because I was under pressure and had to say it in front of the guy. Today I will tell her that I'm not gonna do it.

I keep having TIA/Stroke symptoms and don't know what to do
I'm sorry this is happening. Do you want to say what the symptoms are?
I've been in 3 times already because of this
Do you want to say what they said when you've gone in previously?

It's ok if you don't want to answer these questions, but it might be helpful.

Pardon me for differing with you but I'm in my 70s and my life is a whole lot better than before. Still have problems of course but still a lot better. So I'm thankful. ⛵
getting old sucks for a lot of people because of health issues, chronic pain and peronal losses. but it can still be wonderful. it can be good if you look at old age as just part of our journey. and since it was a pretty good life, a good jpurney

@Pebble mouse hopefully you have gone to the doctor. I see this was posted hours ago. I'm sorry, it's terrible to not be well and have to fight this. Please take care and let us know.
It's ok @seabird. I've been in the hospital three times because of this. I received excellent care during my stay. I was given an MRI quickly every time and was seen by multiple neurologists. I have got up today and feel fine. Don't worry about me, I'll be okay.

I'm sorry this is happening. Do you want to say what the symptoms are?
My limbs on one side going numb is the main symptom. I've also been told I was slurring my speech.

Do you want to say what they said when you've gone in previously?
They just said I'd had a TIA (minor stroke).

is it possible to ask your doctor for a referal to a specialist ?
I'm waiting to go to the general neurology clinic at the hospital.

I hope that you can and will get some answers and solutions and soon.
I can't complain about the care I've received. I know what's going on, but unfortunately, there are no solutions as such. It's just a lottery if I suffer a severe stroke.

Thanks everyone*grouphug2

a few days ago i removed the inner corner lashes of my eyes because they were all growing inwards poking my eyes. I poked the lower skin of my right eye, I didnt think much about it but i feel it is now infected. It’s been two days that it is warm and swelling a little bit.

I tried warm compress which did help but it was a lot of work since I used cotton pads and the heat was cooling down rather quickly. The heat pad that I have is the size of my face and it is only that tiny corner of my eye that needs it. I bought an ice pack and just learned you can’t put hot water in it, which I wish I googled first before going to the pharmacy.

It is annoying me because my eyes have been producing a lot of mucus specially when i wake up which they don’t do that before. And now that swelling part feels warm, I dont think it has puss and I hope I’m not heading that path.

I mean what’s the worst that can happen? Go in to septic shock or encephalitis then die… fuck… i feel like the evil eye really got me.

People do not understand tone, whether it’s spoken or written. I can be upset and respectful at the same time. Pay attention to my words and tone. You will only irritate me more.
My theory is that, for some people who doesn’t really know you that well, they will read it in whatever tone they feel best suits it and it usually tells you what type of person they are.

I’m at that age where I have to keep my lower legs elevated to avoid swelling and worsening my eczema - i need to lose weight to relieve pressure from my lower legs, the eczema i have on my lower legs could
lead to cellulitis, infection, i go in to septic shock and then die, there’s just too much to worry about. My eyelashes wont also stop itching it is so fucking annoying, i’m constantly having allergies
