Guest guest Report post Posted May 10, 2010 My son has dyspraxia with the autism - so he backs away from anything that looks too novel. That impacts incidential learning big time. He also has problems with his body in space -especially his legs. This used to be severe but now is more promient when stressed or doing yoga. I would also love something to help both sides of his brain work together Alice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted March 24, 2011 Hi everyone, This is my 8th year of retirement. I am on a fixed income. This to me is what makes me tired. I used to shop at least 4 days a week in malls for “stuff†because I had money. During my lunch hour I shopped in the stores lining the streets of Oakland which is a big collage town. I always found things for my house or to wear. This would excite me. Even tho I probably only got 5or 6 hours of sleep I was always “onâ€. Even when my grandbaby’s were born after I did not work I still had some money to buy stuff for them and my 2 kids. Then it hit! All my savings started to diminish and I had to watch what I bot. I started to get tired of getting out of bed only to clean house or cook. I vowed to get out to the malls even to look around at least 2 times a week. Yeah like I wanted to look at things and not be able to get things for my kids and grands and I didn’t even need clothes anymore. Three years ago I started using the internet to shop…don’t even need to go out. I used to love the hustle and bustle of Christmas crowds now I shop on line. I sleep till 10:30 or 11AM because I don’t fall asleep till 2 AM. Why get up? Clean or cook?! I have to get blood work that can wait so it does. I have 2 scans to have done but they can wait so I have the requisitions and they sit in my desk. Maybe when it is warmer. I do have to say before reaching remission I slept like Dorothy…I fell asleep in doctors waiting rooms. I fell asleep watching TV. I could fall asleep anywhere except of course at night because that is when the pain is the worst. I have slept thru springs and summers. This year hubby is now getting social security (he retired early and we had some lean years)and can take money out of his savings so I got new living room furniture! We were out looking and shopping almost all week (hate shopping on weekends) and it was amazing how easy it was for me to set my alarm and get up to go out! Even in cold and snow I was “up†again. So unless you are really sick you need an interest to wake up. It is hard to do especially when you are on a fixed income or are older. Getting old and decrepit is not a fun thing at all.) LOL Hugs to all us tired folks. cooky .. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted April 3, 2011 hello tired folks. Yes it is very difficult to get out of bed and function if you do not have a reason. I am on social security and 67 yrs. on a limited income. I am single after 35 years taking care of someone. Now its hard to take care of only me. I have had a bypass, stent, fibromyalgia, arthritus,(bumpy hands) sleep apnea, disk disease, back surgury, restless leg syndrome, plantar fasiaitis, lots of muscle pain and depression. I am 66 and Ifound a miracle. volunteer work at elementary schools thru a county program called Golden Umbrella Grandparent Program. I get paid $2.55 per hour , free lunch, free breakfast and 40 cents a mile. It doesnt add up to much, but I work 5 hours a day..5 days a week. The mininum is 15 hours a week. kids are fun, sometimes frustrating. But they give me a reason to get up. I was out of work. changed addresses and schools. Didnt work for two months. It rained all that time. .When it rained continually for weeks, I went to the mall and watched people. I could afford a cup of coffee which I nursed for hours. I met people I had not seen in ages. Sleep was what I wanted to do to. no extra money for grand kids or me. I decided to get up and go to any and everything that was free. I visited the library, the senior hall, went shopping for things I could not afford but could dream about, flea markets, art shows, walks in parks to see birds. Went on rides in new cars,,,testing. I had to think out of the box. The one I wanted to sleep in. It took energy. But it was worth it.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 3, 2011 Belinda that is a great story. It is also a great job. I bet those kids love you. I just had my grandbaby age 6 for the past week and I was glad when she left but 2 days later and I miss her! I think 5 hours a day would be perfect.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 8, 2011 Yes, I am at the point where it is two years old and the mask and tubing is supposed to be changed every 3-6 months. I soak it all the time, but it is now limp and old looking. On Monday, I am calling my new Insurance company and get a new script from my doc. I understand there is a medical supply store in town some where near me. I'll let you know if I am successful. Thank you. Where do you get your supplies from? Dolores From: belinda pomerleau <Bindylp@...> Subject: Re: rheumatic OT rheumatic Date: Friday, April 8, 2011, 3:10 AM  I have some extra things for a sleep apnea maching.
