Curate, connect, and discover
Just remembering the times I’ve actively been falling asleep in front of a doctor due to my chronic fatigue but then they still don’t do anything but tell me I need more sleep
Which isn’t unreasonable but I am a student. An AP GT student who falls asleep during class as well so I don’t get the notes or miss the lesson so I have to come in after school to get notes (or dig around the online classroom for the teachers that actually post their notes) and then have to teach myself the lesson.
Then I have to do the homework which is difficult for me to focus on (we think it’s undiagnosed adhd given other symptoms) and trying to complete the assignment takes a minimum of an hour. Give or take given exhaustion and falling asleep reading the questions, pain in my wrist, fingers, hands, etc, or having to do other things.
Then multiple by the four educational classes I’m in (thank god French doesn’t have homework)
I get as much sleep as I can
All this to say, I’m glad it’s summer and I’m glad I was finally diagnosed (maybe collegeboard will finally consider accommodating me)
For those out their with heds that use mobility devices, what device do you use and what was the point that made it a need ? I’m so tired and I’m pain on the daily in either my hips, knees or ankles (and that’s only below the waist)
I’m dependent on my parents for getting care and they are relatively supportive as disability is common in our family but my mom seems reluctant to even discuss the possibility that I may need an aid.
Any advice?
(Also going to the doctor this week to ask about symptoms of pots I’ve been having for years and stomach problems)
