I’d like to know what the rest of the reply says.

No mysteries left to ponder, just unending obligatory supplication. What bliss!

I voted for Harris yesterday, and I’ll be voting for Harris again tomorrow. Just kidding. Turns out the dead person whose identity I stole wasn’t registered to vote. 😞

I don’t think preppers are a monolith. There are people from different backgrounds, different politics, different concerns, and different methods (and degrees) of preparedness. People who make it about hoarding goods and resources are probably just doing it wrong.

It took a year to get the insurance to approve mine. Then all they did was send a wearable pulse oximeter to my house for one night. The really crazy thing was the oximeter could only be used once and then thrown away, I think entirely just to boost the device manufacurer’s revenue. So it’s totally an outrageous racket, but it happened to help in my case.

Only time will tell. It has been about 10 monthe so far.

Also, I think it’s probably more the oxygen deprivation that is relevant in my case. Sleep apnea refers to just stopping breathing while sleeping, which may or may not result in a significant decrease in blood oxygen saturation. In my case, it was causing a big drop in blood oxygen saturation and I suspect this was the case for decades. Once that was corrected, I found it much easier to be “productive” in the narrow sense that normies use that word.

I’m not suggesting that the CPAP cured me, just that I’ve found it to be a more effective treatment than medications, in my case.

If your theory of the disease is such that it has a singular cause, then I suppose this may be true and we could conclude that I was misdiagnosed. But if you view it as a set of symptoms that may have multiple causes, then we could conclude that I had a different form of ADHD than the one you describe. Regardless, I had the lived experience of someone with ADHD for a very long time. I’ll also note that ADHD was not a diagnosis that existed yet when I was a child.
