What is your personal all-time favorite episode of Trek (any series) and why? Top three if you can't pick just one.

Do you have to change how you sign for the stage? Like, I know actors need to gesture bigger and speak louder than is anything like natural in order for it to be recognizable at any real distance. Is there an equivalent in signing, like how to be "louder" for the stage so you can be read from afar?

What is it like to process writing as a deaf person? To me as a hearing person the sound and the symbols are so intimately linked it's hard to imagine anything else. Did they teach you to recognize whole words, or... what? I'm so curious but I'm not even all the way sure what I'm asking.

I went through this at 16, and they did the prednizone to me too. Thirteen years later, my elbows and knees still show stretchmarks from what that stuff did it me. Like you said, it helps, but it's awful.

As someone who survived this same condition, I feel your pain. They didn't know what caused mine either. Pumped me full of prednizone for months. Bone marrow biopsies. It was awful.

Have you tried loading up on calcium and vitamin C? I know this probably sounds like a really stupid question, but when I was going through it, this is the only thing I changed that actually fixed it, after a couple of months of my doctors just shrugging witlessly and talking about hospitalizing me (and not knowing what the hell they were going to do with me when they got me there).
