So I had my car repossesed-I am aware there will be judgement here which is fine I understand. Lengthy serious illness and getting back on feet.

The car was taken yesterday to auction lot-the woman I spoke to there told me reinstatement is possible but can't be discussed until they get insurance etc which I am doing today. That being said she said she is the only contact person at this point and if I contact the bank re lender it will only delay things. Everything I read online says to contact lender. Which is correct information? I

I am in NB , if that helps

Hi I was diagnosed with IIH four years ago after having double vision that was initially intermittent until it was constant and it was like looking through a kaleidescope , intense headaches and neck pain. It didn't take long to get diagnosis as I had gone to optemetrist who said to go straight to ER. It did however take a while to get an LP and I had been on diamox slightly over a month by the time I had LP and stil had an opening pressure of 38-so I would have to assume it was fairly high initially hence the intensity of symptons.

Moving forward I have been off diamox for over two years now. Lately after spending a day at a pool and then an outside wedding in same week-I have been having a whole pile of odd symptons-deep facial flushing with intense heat several times a day ( always some sort of redness across face but it can wane in how deep it is- sometimes I looked burned, sometimes I look flushed , sometimes entire face, sometimes just the nose and cheeks etc ) but extremely uncomfortable with intensity it's like someone lit a fire under there and at one point happened while doing my hair and I saw the flushing spread. One side can be slightly hotter and puffier which is noticeable to those around me. I've also had joint pain- knees now fingers but also a deep ache in both arms and while I've been getting some tingling and numbness in both hands one arm more so and that tingling dead heavy feeling where you think your arm won't work but it still does has been kicking in and lasting for several hours some days from afternoon until bed. I've also been peeing more frequently, intense fatigue ( falling asleep in afternoon if sitting down and naps are unheard of for me ) my lips have been tingling with noticeable change in colour to more pale, purple discolouration above my eyes, sore throat, mottling on arms and legs, etc. To put it bluntly- I have felt like hot garbage for almost two weeks. I initally thought it was menopause related despite the sudden onset or rather where some of these things have been happening not like to this intensity and so consistently until these past two weeks.

I did notice via facebook memories that when diagnosed and what I call " when my eyes exploded " happened same week of summer and also similary after a pool day and other outside events ( my birthday week so being out and about more often ).

Is there a corelation there? I saw in a photo yesterday that one of my eyes is turned slightly inward with a slightly droopy eyelid and I noticed that in hindsight last time as well- and am having the same sort of headaches that are diffuse all over head, some neck soreness and blurry vision and intense waves of nausea- so I would have to assume I'm having another flare up. I see my doctor in six weeks and I will ask for a new consult to opthmaology etc.

Can anyone relate to what I'm feellng right now? Would love to hear any other similar experiences.

I just read through the thread on OT rates in NB-and based on that, I have a question?

Can someone explain to me in a simple way why as a horizon employee-our overtime is sectioned off into four weeks periods. Meaning they are already blocked off and OT only exist if you go over 150 hours in those four weeks. You could work 60 hours two weeks in a row for example but if the one leading up or following doesnt put over 150 there is no OT.

And where it says the OT can't be banked- for all of us doing 12's- they put our extra hours on our heavy weeks into levelling? and then pay it out on our short weeks. Also, we routinely bank OT ( by choice ).

I'm not complaining because OT is nice to have and we do get compensated for it-just curious if anyone could explain why this doesn't apply.

Also, while asking- how is it that Horizon gets away with not paying us the extra hour when clocks jump ahead LOL

Does such a thing exist? I am having a very hard time having people come in to clean my mother's home who don't understand the nuances of this condition. The main problem is rearranging furniture or discarding things that then upset her- and also the lack of ability to communicate in a respectful manner. She is still mainly independent but does require help with things such as cleaning and task initation these days-and also struggles with word finding or mixing up words and that tends to either cause people to correct her in a way that upsets her or avoid speaking to her.

On that note, while the ideal situation would be a home care service that does companionship AND cleaning-I do not find the home care workers have any more training or ability to communicate effectively either.

Is this a dream or are the companies that do this. TIA.
