Reply to A study shows that patients with the most serious health issues who thought that continuing the treatment would result in destitution only had an estimated 24% chance of continuing treatment, while those thinking paying fees would not negatively affect their financial situations had a 95% likelihood by nmhhg8
This is interesting. I'm currently getting medication from mexico to treat my terminal illness and live in the ghetto. Luckily my girl friend can pay for them or I'd be screwed.

Reply to 8 out of 10 preterm babies suffer newborn jaundice.

I had this treatment due to jaundice. There is also risk that high bilirubin levels can cause kernicterus, which can lead to cerebral palsy.

I would think emotional drives come first, followed by cognition. Seems we're in an intermediary state with it still even though we think we are past it.

Reply to comment by LiteralSymbolism in Perceived time expands and contracts within each heartbeat by old_guitarist
That's what I thought at first but the time perception wiki states this: > Tachypsychia is a neurological condition that alters the perception of time, usually induced by physical exertion, drug use, or a traumatic event. For someone affected by tachypsychia, time perceived by the individual either lengthens, making events appear to slow down,[83] or contracts, with objects appearing as moving in a speeding blur.[84][85]
I'd say they need to be more descriptive because the language is not consistent it appears. I think it should be consistent. Thanks for looking at that if that's the case.

Reply to comment by nametag-username in Perceived time expands and contracts within each heartbeat by old_guitarist
At low arousal, as the heart contracts/beats, time seems to go by faster. As the heart relaxes, time seems to go by slower.
As arousal increases, the pattern I mentioned about the heart beat/relax cycle disappears. Under high arousal, it shifts towards feeling like time goes by faster regardless of the beat/relax cycle.
That's how I read this at least.

Yep. My father was a combat wounded vietnam veteran. Took eight rounds and had his leg completely shredded by mortar shrapnel. Seems it can also be passed genetically so there is more to it than currently understood.

In my case it was related to low GABA. The primary inhibitory neurotransmitter. Both my father and myself diagnosed bipolar. Both related to low GABA. He then died from ALS, also caused by prolonged low GABA. In both our cases, it's a result of GABA:glutamate ratio. With no inhibition, you have bipolar like symptoms. Just saying.

I wonder if this has an effect on mutation given the difference between having a preset supply made at once, versus this variation which may result in some mutation being they are generated at different times throughout life.

Interesting. I trained all my cats using social rewards rather than food rewards. Meaning I trained them using the method they say dog puppies are best at. Odd.

Possibly Glycine and GABA. Both are inhibitory neurotransmitters. Taking them daily might help possibly.

The chance of having ALS grows significantly for combat wounded vietnam veterans. My line had no issues. Father got hit w 8 rounds and had leg blown off. Died of ALS at 58. I had muscle issues from birth along with REM Behavior Disorder. Guess what happened? I have it now but w no support from anyone. It's awesome.

Glad to hear the CPAP is helping you. I tried it and still had the RBD. I made a quick gif to show my sleep behavior so people can see how crazy it is: https://imgur.com/gallery/qSYqDvN . I get injured from this all the time and it happens many many times per night. I usually can't sleep through it so barely sleep.

This is also my thought. I have RBD and do not have depression. It's a medical issue due to low GABA. These may be sleep disorders related to psychological problems.

I would strongly like to see these studies done on autism as I believe it to be the most discriminated against and unspoken of issue on the entire plate. I think people are simply not aware of what goes/has gone on in this sphere and it needs to be expounded on to the public.

To further your anecdote, I've mentioned it before, but I recorded myself sleeping for about a year due to REM behavior disorder. I act out my dreams due to having a higher electrical output than atony resists normally. Means I could easily see when dreaming and when not. Short of it, it did not stop my dreaming nor my REM behavior disorder. If it stopped REM, it would be a solution for this, also common in Parkinsons but due to different reasons.

Apparently when I was younger I tried to be 'relatable' while people would strike me. Maybe because I'm autistic but my response was to laugh at people hitting me. I didn't like it or enjoy it in any way. People attack you more if you do this btw.

Interesting. I feel as if it might be more likely that multiple animals moving extensively, causing shifting attention, may cause a cognitive overload leading to a fear or aggression response. The common response is likely fear. I don't know that most animals would have to cognitive ability to identify coalition quality. Just my thought process.

Reply to comment by More-Grocery-1858 in The dark side of empathy in narcissistic personality disorder by ashenserena
Personally I feel anyone manipulating others with a lack of remorse while showing the other listed traits is a severe detriment to society. Grandiosity and self absorption can have other origins and also aren't inherently anti society in the way that manipulating and attacking others without remorse is. For reference I was severely attacked on twitch by an NPD streamer. I have familial ALS and am autistic and wanted to let people know about my condition and all the issues involved. This NPD/psychopathic actually made a fake channel about me, used video of my sleep disorder to make up some sex stuff about me, made up stuff about my family, history etc. They clipped audio from my videos to make audio clips of me saying things etc. Again, I'm terminally ill and autistic. That's the types of things these people do.
