So when someone is dyslexic, the main thing that is going on is that their eyes move around a lot and take in information about their surroundings in great detail. So they know right away if something is out of place, but they can't stop their eyes from moving around like that even when they try to read.

I can read text and intricate diagrams well, and I have good eyesight with my glasses on. But even when I'm really trying to be mindful of my surroundings, I process very little visual information. Months ago my mom visited and put a wreath on my front door, but I didn't know it was there until she visited again a couple weeks ago and mentioned it. Theoretically my eyes point at that door

Recently my special interest for singing has been coming back! And I've been getting into editing too, learning how to use GarageBand and Melodyne. But for the past 2 weeks I've had a headache (maybe a migraine?) and have only had brief periods of being able to deal with the noise of my own singing. I've spent hours lying down in a dark room silently thinking about music. The last things I listened to before the headache started was the Book of Mormon soundtrack and Jesus Christ Superstar, so I've played those all the way through in my head several times. Luckily they both slap so I don't mind having them stuck in my head.

On a related note, who are some female rock vocalists who get to do

Last November I had an endometriosis surgery that set off the worst flare of my life. I was mostly bedridden for about 4 months. Then I started taking norethindrone, a synthetic progesterone pill, to help with my endo. My energy levels were up better than even pre-surgery levels within a few days of starting the pill! It's been about a month now, and I'm getting a little better every day.

I have PMDD, so my body reacts very strongly to drops in progesterone at the end of the luteal phase. When my cycles are running normally, I always feel extremely tired and sick during the last few days before my period. So I think my hormones must've been off for months, and my body is super sensitive to

I'm not a very fashionable person. I wear those 5-pack shirts from Walmart. I decided I needed a hoodie so I went to Nike and looked up "hoodie" and a normal black men's hoodie is $100. Did Nike become a designer brand over the past 10 years. Has Nike pivoted their marketing to become a designer brand?

Thanks

I used to get high 1-2 times a week, just to help me relax and have fun. But about a month ago, my chronic illness got way, way worse, so now I'm mostly bedridden, and I'm in my 20s. Ever since that happened I've been high pretty much all the time, except for sometimes a few hours in the morning. I take edibles and tinctures throughout the day to maintain a constant low buzz. It helps a lot with the pain and boredom and general despair of not knowing if I'll ever get better.

Is this like, an unhealthy coping mechanism? Is there anyone else on here who has chronic illness and is high all the time? I know you're not my therapist, but general advice is appreciated.

I've dated multiple people who seemed to like me better when I was sick. When I had periods of feeling better, they would be disappointed that I wasn't as passive and meek and easily controlled as they thought. It's hard to find people who are attracted to my personality when going out makes me so tired that I can barely string two words together. I get jealous of people who found someone before they got sick, and have had that person stick around to be loving and supportive.

Does endo cause internal bleeding? I had a hysterectomy a year ago, and I thought I wouldn't have issues with anemia anymore since I can't have heavy periods. But a recent blood test showed that I was still mildly anemic. Then my "period" started a few days ago, and I feel so drained and weak that I can barely function. It feels like I'm still having a heavy period, but the blood just can't exit the body anymore.

I'm autistic, so I have trouble figuring out how to navigate small talk. I also have chronic illnesses, so I spend a lot of time at the doctor. I know that usually when someone says "hey, how are you?" The best answer is "fine thanks, and you?" But sometimes my doctor walks into the room at the beginning of an appointment and asks. Is this small talk, or am I supposed to answer honestly? Usually what I'd like to say is more like "I feel like crap and have been in pain all week," but I'm worried that's rude.

I'm scheduled for my third endometriosis-related surgery in a couple months, and I'm really worried about the postoperative period. After both of my previous surgeries, I woke up in the recovery room in extreme pain and became so confused and anxious that I had a panic attack. The second surgery was especially traumatic since the nurse in the recovery unit just yelled at me to be quiet instead of trying to help me.

I'm so scared of something like that happening again. I think seeing a familiar face would be more helpful than anything else during this time, so I asked my surgeon if my mom could be with me when I wake up. He said absolutely not. I also asked if I could be given anti-anxiety

I got 5 monthly injections of lupron, with the last one being about 6 weeks ago. Even though I've stopped getting the shots, I don't feel any difference. I still feel like I'm fully in menopause (I'm in my 20s). Those of you who have taken lupron, how long did it take for your body to start making hormones again?

I'm thinking about getting a scooter, but I don't have a garage to store it in overnight. I do have an outdoor parking space assigned to me. If I leave my scooter outside all the time, would it be easy for someone to steal it?

I know POTS causes our feet to swell and temporarily get a bit larger. But even when I first wake up, my feet are bigger than they were before I started having POTS symptoms (10 months ago). I've gone up a full shoe size, even though I'm wearing compression stockings (open toe, but covering most of the foot) almost all the time. It's not a big concern compared to all the other symptoms, but it does seem strange.

I just realized about 20 rows into a bottom-up tshirt that when I combined in the round, the stitches were twisted. I didn't realize until I got pretty far in, since the cord on the circular needles really wants to twist in on itself, and it's hard to straighten it out to get a good look at my project. What are my options at this point, besides frogging it? I was thinking that if there's some way for me to re-twist it now, then I could have an interesting twisted detail at the bottom of my shirt, and the rest of the shirt would be normal. Or I could steek it, which would allow me to cut open the finished product and untwist it. I've never steeked anything before though, so I'm not sure how e

I have a Samsung galaxy active watch, which technically isn't broken, but it's pretty much unusable to me as is. The silicone band traps moisture underneath and gives me a bad rash, and commercially-available replacement bands are all made of the same material. Luckily I know how to sew, so I was planning on making a breatheable fabric replacement. I thought there would be a metal bar in the watch to wrap the end of the strap around. However, the metal bar is actually spring-loaded and encased in the silicone band. I uploaded some shots of the mechanism to imgur.

I'm thinking I'll need to construct a new metal bar to fit into the holes in the watch. Then I cou

I just started reading Bertha Banner's Household Sewing and Home Dressmaking, and in the first chapter she explains that for running stitches, the needle passes over 2 and under 2 threads of the fabric; for backstitches it goes under 6 threads then back 2; etc. When I look at a woven fabric, I can see that there are warp and weft threads running past each other. But if I try to really look at the individual threads, they start blurring and swimming in and out of focus. There's no way for me to count them. I've tried holding the fabric right up to my face, and at arm's length, and every distance between.

Am I supposed to buy a magnifying glass? Or can normal people see individual threads j
