Being a socially-functional human being - emphasis on the social part - requires you to consider the needs of people other than yourself.

No it doesn't. You can consider other's need, but you don't always put them before yourself. Should I give up my home to the homeless so they have a place to live. I don't do that because I need a place to live. But, apparently, I should put the requirements before mine, according to you. That's stupid. You take care of yourself first, then help others. If you want to help family and friends before yourself, that's one thing. To help a stranger before helping yourself usually doesn't make sense...

Yeah, darkknight. Give all your clothes, your home, your food and luxuries to other people. Live naked with nothing in the street. Stop being selfish. It's for society.

Do I really have to answer the question "is selfishness a bad thing"?

Uh, yes. Selfishness isn't inherently bad.

Um, yeah. Yeah it is. Altruism and selflessness are good, selfishness is bad. Being a socially-functional human being - emphasis on the social part - requires you to consider the needs of people other than yourself. Hence why being selfish, self-absorbed, narcissistic, or full-blown megalomaniacal is considered bad.

Fuck me, I'm starting to understand why the world is in the state it's in if this is the predominant way of thinking these days...

Selfishness is a form of self preservation which is a completely natural instinct. There are a ton of situations where selfishness is not inherently bad. You are completely off base.

Seriously though... It's a dog. It probably only has 7 years left to live anyway.

Some dogs live 18 years. My dog is 13 years old and in pretty good health.

Yes, but the average dog lives 10-13 years. Your average dog has 6.5 years left to live.

It's a dog. I know the average person isn't very selfless, but seriously? Dogs die all the fucking time.

But why wouldn't I want him to live out his old age with me? I'm not gonna search a building for babies.

Okay they put in for the referral. Now I just have to wait like a week to make an appointment then wait forever for the appointment. And people complain about imaginary wait times in Canadian health care.

I saw my neuro and had scans within 3 weeks of seeing the first doctor

Hope you can do better

We'll see. She said 7-10 days for the referral. Then I'll have to wait for the appt which could be a while depending on how long they're backed up. It took a couple weeks when I had to go to the orthopedist for my spine. Then I may have to book out for my MRI. I really want to get it done before January so I don't have to pay out of pocket because I have met my max out of pocket for the year.

Is anyone at all surprised that Jen is highly immoral and selfish? We knew this already.

It's not immoral to not save someone else's child over your dog. Selfish, sure. But you're being selfish expecting me to let my dog die for some baby I don't even know who is about as aware as my dog of the world around it. Don't talk to me about your morals because I don't care about them. You know nothing of mine.

I also find it ridiculous that out of every single person that said they'd pick their dog and even those who made similar comments to me you chose me to drag through the coals with your idiotic comment. Get a life.

That guy is always on my jock. I think he thinks that I have a huge network of support in real life or something when I don't. I don't have a family to talk to or any close friends except for a couple that don't live near me. Like literally two. The only reasons I post things like this here are to get it out and I've known some people here for like 10 years. He's just another person trying to get a rise out of me because he's a lonely dude online and I'm a woman that he thinks is popular or something and that I should be able to get support in real life.

I need to see one anyway because I've been having a serious increase in serious headaches and migraines lately and my topamax hasn't been helping prevent them at all anymore. Excedrin migraine hasn't been helping to get the pain to go away either.

Are they constant?

They pretty much have been now for the last month and a half.

Doubt it, although since he referred you to see doctors instead of thinking of ways to help you feel better, I'd say you have some beef between each other to sort out.

Mind and body are one and the same. If there's a physical problem, most likely there's a mental one as well.

How is he supposed to help me feel better? He's not a doctor. He's probably tired of me not feeling well all the time.

wwinterj25 posted...

Yeah good advise. No point obsessing over your symptoms and googling them very rarely helps I find. I know it's not as easy as that though but still. Cross that bridge if you ever get to it I suppose.

Yeah, I'm definitely not wanting to webmd myself, lmao. I just looked it up because I remembered what they told me in college when I was feeling similarly and figured it wouldn't hurt to try to see a neuro. So I guess we'll see what happens. I need to see one anyway because I've been having a serious increase in serious headaches and migraines lately and my topamax hasn't been helping prevent them at all anymore.

ParanoidObsessive posted...

No one's mentioned it yet, but it's worth noting that a lot of the early symptoms for MS are similar to symptoms some people experience from alcohol abuse and/or trying to quit alcohol. Especially stuff like "brain fog" or vision issues.

If you're lucky, your issues might be tied more to your recent problems along those lines, and will improve over time without doing any real significant long-term damage.

That's what I'm hoping because it's only been 7 months but some of the other issues aren't really related to PAWS so that's what has me concerned.

Glad you're going to get checked out and I hope things aren't as bad as they seem.
My brother in law ignored his symptoms for over a year and it wasn't until he caused an accident on the thruway when he blacked out that he had himself checked out. Luckily not a single person was hurt in the accident. His career as an orthopedic surgeon is pretty much over though.

If I am diagnosed, I'm not going to get my master's because I'd rather not incur more student loans. Kinda sucks.

Deep fucking breath jen. I hope it turns out to be something less severe, but even if not youre gonna be OK.

Thanks for posting. I know medicine has come a long way so maybe it won't be as bad. I'll feel bad for my dad. He said when they mentioned it as a potential diagnosis in college he felt so guilty that he cried and cried until the MRI came back clear. I'm not even going to tell him this time unless I need to tell him something. We both know it's not supposed to be hereditary but him and two of his cousins had/have it. One had it so aggressively she had to be put in an assisted care facility in her 40s and passed away still in her 40s from complications.

I had genetic testing done and I have at least 3 genes that increase my risk of MS which still makes it a very small risk but an increase none the less.

Fibromyalgia maybe? And Idk if it would explain all of it, but some of that could definitely be PAWS.

I also thought of PAWS. That's what I'm hoping. That would explain the foggy brain things. Wet brain. I've also been having a LOT of headaches lately. So either way, the neuro will be able to help me with that. My migraines and headaches have been really out of control.

What are the symptoms you've been having? Just out of curiosity.

I've been having blurry vision, pain in my eyes, issues focusing/my eyes have been crossing (involuntary eye movement)/double vision. The left side of my face has been going numb and tingly. I've had problems with my balance and my gait has been weird. Issues with my bowels like really constipated often. I've had a lot of lightheadedness.

I've been constantly fatigued for no reason even though I sleep for at least 8 hours a night. I started getting some sexual dysfunction which I attributed to my antidepressant even though I've been on the same dose for like 3 months but it just started in the past month. I had my psychiatrist okay me to go on a half dose of what I was on though just to see.

I've been having a lot of mental fogginess, short term memory problems, a hard time remembering words, and speech issues.

I've also been having pain in my kidney/lower rib/upper belly area which I thought might be my kidneys because I have enlarged ureters but that doesn't really cause pain. But I was looking up early symptoms of MS and I guess there's something known as the "MS hug" which is tightness around the rib/upper belly area. It's also called dysesthesia. So it could be that.

Idk I'm not trying to webmd myself but those are a lot of symptoms that are similar to early symptoms of MS so I was like shit. I thought a lot of the stuff may have been because of me stopping drinking but it just seems to have started in the last 3 months or so. Then I had an event in college too where they said it may have been linked to MS. So I figured I'll get a referral. I just really don't want to get diagnosed.

If I do I'm seriously just going to fucking dump my boyfriend because he's not going to want to be tied down with someone who is going to be disabled because he's way too active for that and I'm going to move into a studio apartment and become a hermit who just goes to work until I can't anymore and then I'll just stay alone until I die. It's fucking pointless to try to have a relationship because I'm not gonna suck someone into that. I've seen how my parents are so why bother.

In college they had me get an MRI and it showed no lesions so they didn't diagnose me but I had an episode that seemed to be an early MS episode. So we'll see what happens. I'm really annoyed. I don't want to be the one out of my four siblings that gets this. I thought none of us would get it but it would figure it'd be me.
