  • Yes. I have a healthy, but irrational fear of falling. Heights do not bother me (flying in a plane is no big deal in terms of the height). But if I am even a foot above the ground under my own power (say, on a ladder), I get extremely unsteady and nervous.

    So bicycles were out pretty much from the beginning.

    My family, when I was young, would try to convince me by asking, “how can you drive a car if you can’t ride a bike?” Yeah my response shut them up pretty quickly: “a car has 4 tires and is stable.” I was seven years old.




  • Up front: I am not a doctor.

    Seriously, seek a second opinion, and if you are a woman, and it sounds like the original doctor is a man, find a woman doctor. I know this sounds sexist, and I’m honestly not trying to be, but it has been shown many times how male doctors tend to overlook or not listen to female patients. You must advocate for yourself.

    Anecdotally, my spouse has had this happen numerous times. And it is extremely frustrating every time because it’s effectively a waste of time and money. And, something could be seriously wrong (not saying anything actually is), so you should make very certain at minimum that certain testing is done such as various tests from blood work and/or urine testing.

    Yes it’s all propaganda.

    One set of propaganda is based on lies.

    The other set is based on emotion.

    I don’t buy into lies like so many people seem to.

    While I also won’t buy into emotion, since I try to use logic and reason as much as possible, I will support those who don’t have a campaign built upon lies, deceit, and felonies.
