Heavy breathing from dancing in a closed space? We aren't ready to risk that.

I am a runner. There is no way I would run in a group right now. Sorry. 😞

I will never knowingly place a microphone in my home.

Because whomever is doing the billing is stupid.

I agree, you can get hair loss for stress. It takes about 3 months to manifest after the stressor event (it affects the hair growth cycle). My DD lost a lot of hair 3 months after being very ill with pneumonia and the dermatologist diagnosed it as this. After a short time the loss reduced and has not recurred. I recommend taking your DD to a dermatologist, if the doctor she saw is from a different specialty.

In my state, the Department of Health will take a complaint against providers who are not billing insurance correctly and will investigate the heck out of it.

I agree with everyone else. Your DD is old enough to choose what sport she wants to do. Being the only one in a tight-knit group that's on a different team is a hard place to be.

It's possible he previously engaged in more subtle and culturally validated self-stimming (shaking his leg when he sits, cracking his knuckles, squeezing his hands) like everyone does, and now the mode has changed to a more observable action. It may be related to anxiety during the pandemic. I doubt it is an after-effect of meds but I am not an expert in that.

If you have a way to provide this feedback to your insurer, please do! I provide behavioral health advice via telemedicine due to the pandemic. We would love to continue to have this option, but it depends on what services and mode of delivery insurance will cover.

Hugs and best wishes to all. Stay put, babies!

That is so wonderful.

That is really horrible and I am sorry for your. family's loss.

I agree with you emotionally, Pam, but not objectively. Driving across the country would likely expose you a greater number of germs. How many total bathroom, food, and hotel stops would you need to make? Even if you packed food and slept in your car, at some point you are going to have to poop, and you are going to have to stop at gas stations to refill your tank. For a non-negotiable emergency I would fly, but not for any other reason.

Will you still be able to receive care at that hospital or that physician network in the future if you don't pay? Are you concerned about that?

I think it is very difficult to predict with accuracy, but I doubt large group events ( greater than 50 people) will be happening in early July; mid-size groups are a maybe. I think as we open up there will be a surge of cases, and proceeding through each stage will be protracted. Honestly, I doubt I will attend mid-size group events unless they are outside in July.

I'm sorry you are going through this. What a jerk. People who deliberately withhold child support are the worst.

The research regarding of the cause of autism points to genetics, so that fits! Also, Science Daily is such a great read.

I am sorry for your loss.

I have donated several hundred dollars to the local group that provides grocery store cards to school families and an equal amount to the food bank. I tipped our voice teacher the equivalent of a month's tuition since he had many families quit and was worried abut paying his mortgage. When we get take out I tip about 50%, and this is reminding me to go buy gift cards for restaurants we support. Overall, grocery bills are higher but gas costs are much lower; I'm probably coming our ahead on that.

Hugs to you all. I hope he gets the help he needs. I have 3 teens and it is HARD.

Oh yikes, yes do this!!

Hugs to you. That is probably a decent explanation. Also, it is allergy season here and I have had a sinus headache and mildly scratchy throat on and off for a week. Maybe that could be contributing to your headache as well?

One step at a time, Beth! I am glad you are taking care of yourself. Best wishes to you.

I actually wonder if that petition was only signed by UW students or if it got into the mainstream media and outsiders signed it too. Their winter quarter is almost over, it's just about 2 weeks left at this point.
