Struggling with lsat/ advice?

Mid 30s here, corporate job, always did well in school and consider myself quite capable. Also have a chronic health condition that causes brain fog and fatigue as well as adhd. Have accommodations approved for test.

My highest pt is a 168 but recently I’ve been getting low 60s. I’ve read the loophole, the power score books, lsat trainer. I’ve used lsat demon and lsat lab. Didn’t really like 7sage.

I have been stuck in the 160s for like a year. I started studying last August, took two tests last fall and got a 158 and 159 which were below my 165 average pt.

I’m scheduled for sept and October tests and I don’t know what to do. My plan is to review my wrong answers and try to make sense of where I’m going wrong. Something just isn’t clicking. But I have an understanding of the concepts. Usually I’m down to two answers and pick the wrong one because I don’t understand why the other one is right.

I had a tutor and it was a waste of money. If anyone has any suggestions of things that worked for them I’m all ears. I need a high score because my gpa from 2011 is low and I want to get into t50 school. I was waitlisted last cycle from a t30 so I know it’s possible if I can get my score up. 🙏

Advice for hair loss 😫

Hi everyone…. lupus finally got to my hair. It’s falling out, super thin and I have lesions all over my scalp. My partner counted roughly 20. I’m going to see my dermatologist and get a biopsy to be sure it’s my lupus causing them but I’m just about positive it is.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what’s worked for them to get rid of the lesions and also to stop hair loss and grow it back? I’m starting my first Benlysta infusion this week and have been on plaquenil and low dose naltrexone for four years already. I recently did a short course of steroids as well. Any suggestions for shampoo/conditioner also needed. Please help 🙏

Vascular Eds? tiny flair in brain mri?

Hi! I got evaluated by a PCP for EDS (waiting to see a specalist) and she said i am shy of a diagnosis by one point so she’s going to treat me as if I have it and re evaluate when the new criteria comes out in Dec.

Reason I’m posting is because now I’m nervous I may have vascular EDS because of these results from my brain mri. So I’m wondering if anyone with vascular Eds has had similar results from an mri. My doctors are all making my feel crazy so seeking support.

I had a brain MRI w/w/o contrast done because I’m having POTS symptoms and wanted to see if there was a physical reason for it. The mri report said this- tiny flair hyper intense focus in deep white matter at right parieotemporal junction. Appears unspecific and may represent tiny vascular impression, non hemorrhagic ischemic focus, or less likely, a demeylinating WML.

My doctor ordered a spine MRI to rule out MS, and I’m getting a Brain angiogram to check for previous stroke or an aneurysm. I also have an appt to get genetic testing done for EDS but it’s not until January 🥹

Recently I’ve had some strange symptoms: tingling and numbness in hands/arms that spread up to my lower chin/neck. This happened several times a day for like a week. Also my foot would cramp up randomly usually at night, and would stay stuck in a paralyzed state for several minutes which caused a lot of pain. All of my labs are normal. I also have my regular lupus symptoms (I have lupus SLE) of fatigue, migraines, malar rash, joint pain etc. My rheumatologist looked at me like I was insane when I asked about that and said it’s incredibly rare. He also said the same thing to me about lupus right before diagnosing me with it lol

Yes I’m being seen by several doctors- however my appointment with a lupus specialist is not for several weeks, so I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
