When I was young, I slept great. About 20 years ago, I basically stopped sleeping deeply. I’d be in the half awake, half asleep zone all night, every night. Being completely exhausted all the time had a huge impact on me. At one point as a treatment for chronic pain, my doctor gave me amatriptiline (so?). I slept so soundly that first night it made me realize that I have a sleep a problem because It reminded me what sleep was like and made me realize that I wasn’t actually sleeping. The medication didn’t work out for unrelated reasons, and back to not sleeping. Suddenly about a year ago, I started sleeping well for no reason I could identify (and I looked at everything, stress, diet, routines, etc).
It was fantastic. Until all of a sudden a couple of months ago it reverted back to no sleep. No major changes in my life. I guess it was nice while it lasted, but I am positive that not sleeping is taking years off my life, plus I feel pretty miserable all the time. I live in a place where health care is in crisis right now , so I don’t have many resources to tap into on the professional side. Have you seen this before ? Because I did have a small stretch of actual sleep, my body is capable of it, but is there any hope for me ? I realize that you don’t have enough information to give me an actual answer, but I have tried most of the “regular” things with limited/no success. Thanks for doing this !

In Wolf 3D, the germans say something like "HoofWaffle!" quite often - what are they actually saying?

Hey I fly fpv drones (ones that you control by watching through goggles so you see what it sees). It's an amazing feeling as it literally feels like you are flying. Many times I have considered talking to camps like the one you are talking about, and seeing if they want me to come by and let the kids watch through the goggles. I thought it would be a cool thing for them, and a great experience - especially for the ones with mobility problems. Like, who DOESN'T want to fly, right?

What I wanted to know is:

- do you think this would be something that they would like?

- What is the best way to approach the camp??

-Are there any issues that you forsee (eg will they demand insurance, etc)

here's my channel so you can see the type of flying that I do and what it looks like:: http://www.youtube.com/mactacfpv

Thanks!

I was on mtx for about a month for arthritis - I had an allergic reaction & got hives all over my stomach. It also made me throw up a lot. I ended up getting mtx injections instead - waaaaay better (although this was before the allergic reaction)

Passion and knowledge are an inverse relationship. The more you know about an issue, the less passionate you are about it.

This made something click in my brain about politics. It's sort of a Dunning-Kruger thing.

thanks for this.
