Tramadol, or in some countries maybe Tapentadol. They are both narcotics with opiod features. Mixed with other drugs, potentially deadly and dangerous for those with tremors/seizures - falls, etc. Thank heavens you stopped! Was Clonazepam in the mix too? How awful for you :(

Honey and I are in our new apartment! So much to do but it is 525 feet with a nice living and study area, small maintainable kitchen, bath and vanity with a bedroom. HUGE closets, large patio. Thank you all for helping me through to better. May we all have more BETTER! #Gratitude

You and I are Veterans of a terrible and different kind of warfare. I've had to take Klonipin for tremors and absence seizures and it is the ONLY pharmaceutical I take regularly for any reason. I have ridiculously high tolerance for sedative medications, but most do not. :(

I have such an interesting article on this to share. Will when I get through the crazy crap of life this week.
Honestly Todd, these days I think paying a reasonable fee from a common server provider is good. I dislike "group" blog sites. Like Medium. I am old school though. I look forward to reading, no matter what you choose :)

You know I really believe there is a backlash starting to begin against the the JavaScript framework method. This makes me very happy and hopeful. JavaScript has its place but it is not our stack as envisioned and desired for interop Access and human empowerment. Preach it!

Thank you! It was an epic part of my career as well and I am so grateful to have been a part of something so inspirational.

We're coming up on the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. I'm not sure it's done a damn thing to protect me. Hopefully it has for others. Any stories or experiences others would like to share are most welcome!

This is funny because I was considering writing the non self-help self-help book. Self-help to me is a fallacy. We need each other. #cognitivedissonance #Psychology #mythology #StinkingThinking

And when you have no people to help you and you are the highest risk group and you can't have delivery because you don't have an address what do you do? Scales of magnitude. It's a tragedy.

I absolutely agree. And it's a lot more complex than that as well. We all did the best we could at the time with what we knew and what we had and that is noble and Worthy.
With the USA healthcare system, everything. I do receive disability benefits but life, loss, illness and trauma got the better of me. I am crowdfunding to cover the initial security and related fees to move to the well-kept #a11y senior center that has a nice apartment for me. :)

Disruptive behavior != "mental" heaalth. I had multiiple brain injuries diagnosed and medicated without a single physical exam or brain scans for over 40 years. No scientific method = no science = continued human misery.

The language of disability shows how words and terms we use can divide us. I think a lot about the word "condition" as an alternative, logical if/then statement: "If this condition then this action." Inspired by incl.ca/disability-language-…
