I've had the auras at least since a teenager, but not headaches. Thought is was completely normal, 'til a neurologist said No and that I has having vestibular migraines. Blood pressure was always on the low side of normal.

Family history of migraines and seizures, which some hypothesize have the same root causes. Would be interesting to see GLP-1 tests on epilepsy.

Re:Notes on Managing ADHD on Sunday August 31, 2025 @03:24PM (#45086240)
adult diag ADD (prob some ASD also). Kids were diagnosed, had one of those ahah moments. At least in my generation, the quite, bored as hell kid in the back of the room. Thankfully, I think the ASD made me determined, hardheaded, and perceptive, and my parents encouraged and supported me to set good goals. That served me well, but I look back and wonder what could have been if I could have stayed awake in high school classes.

My longest friend is hyper, smartest dude in the room but could not stay out of trouble. Right now, he is literally climbing up a mountain. Even today, I get so pissed at my adult peers who don't understand that that distracted kid is just wired different, not undisciplined. You can't change your neurology anymore than you can change your eye color.

Stims helped much more that antidepressants, but I burn thru catecholamine quickly. Vyvanse lasts maybe a few hours, by example. I've had days where I could take a stim, then fall asleep waiting for it to kick in. Its burn-out, and it sucks.

One thing that helped was NALT and Phenylalanine. Initially, 700mg of NALT was miraculous. Doesn't help so much any more, but I continue to take it. I suspect there are other things causing dopamine production bottlenecks and-or low storage of dopamine.

Gene test indicates I may not convert folate to methylfolate, which is important for the stress hormone cycle. You can supplement methylfolate but so far I've not seen improvement.

The ASD makes it very difficult for me to not call a spade a spade, especially around touchy-feely people. My ASD daughter is now in college, like me, struggling greatly with social. She's as liberal as it gets in a free society, but when the college offered group therapy she refused for the same reasons I hated all that groupology crap; you can't really speak your mind without getting ostracized.

Man, my parents are such fools. Driving me to school, to putt-putt, ice cream. Then, off to work in their car just to make a payment and buy gas and cover my college tuition. The doctoral thesis of my post capitalism art history professor proves they were scammed by their capitalist overlords.

I've lived my entire life in San Francisco without the need for a car. As a 18 yo, its obvious nobody really needs a car! Boomers just don't get it.

More proof that old boomers don't get what its like to be a modern, young adult. I was just texting with friends about this at the coffee shop this morning while making plans for this weekend. Boss is interruping by goat-yoga mindfullness session, asking me to come into the office an hour this month. Who has time for this?

You olds have all the money, all the time.

Nothing better to do since the grant was canceled. Not that the grant had anything to do with it

If its publicaly accessable data, then why don't they just take it? Would that require effort they would have to expend to further their own aims?

Sounds more like they want X to do the work for them.
