    I got a concussion and sprained my neck this morning. DCD is annoying sometimes. They gave me a muscle relaxant at the hospital and I can't think well right now so I am not a fan.

    How to Survive Amusement Park

    I like to rock so I am hoping to go on some rides that rock and I may even try a roller coaster. I am most concerned about the lines and the noise. Restaurants can be too much so more people in a small space is almost impossible.

    Question as to what extent is restricted interests are unhealthy

    How to stop samefooding

    I used to take b-12 along with fish oil also. It does get a tad expensive though keeping up with the amount of supplements I take so those two fell by the wayside. I have been thinking about reintroducing b-12 though.
