How do I get my mom to take me to the dermatologist?
So, I have a BIG acne problem. I did some research online a little while ago and I think that I have nodular acne, which I read can only be treated by going to the dermatologist and getting something injected into your skin or going on Accutane. I've tried every face wash and acne treatment that I've found in stores, but none of it really seems to help. It's getting pretty bad, because I'm in high school and I still have the same acne all over my face that I've been getting since 4th grade. People say stuff about it behind my back all the time, like one guy I thought was my friend who said that I "look like a freakin witch because my acne looks like warts all over my nose". Basically, it sucks.
So, I want to go to the dermatologist, but there's 2 problems:
1. My family is lacks money at the moment. My dad lost his job almost 2 years ago now, and although my parents started a home business, it just doesn't make enough money for us to really live on. Basically, every cent goes to groceries and paying the bills, and everything else is just a waste in my parents' eyes.
2. I know I'll probably get some less-than-friendly comments because of this, but my family doesn't believe in doctors for religious reasons. But lately, I don't really know what I believe anymore, and I just kind of feel like going to a dermatologist would be the best decision. I know that my parents will think that I'm making a wrong decision, though. I mean, ever since I became a teen, they've told me that I can make my own choices, and if I really wanted to I could go to a doctor (this was regarding other stuff, though, not acne). But I always chose not to, so now I would feel like I was letting them down and totally giving up on my religion, even though I don't want to.
So, I don't even know how to bring this up to my mom. (My dad isn't even worth asking, he'll just think I'm being stupid.) For both of these reasons, I know it will be really hard to get her to say yes, and even if she does I'll feel terrible for making them spend money and not following our religion totally. How can I approach her about this? I feel really uncomfortable just going up to her and asking her, but I feel like writing a note or something would just be kind of dumb. Help?
does some one know what you can do if you had hypoglycemia and commited a crime while sick ?
I was in my neighborhood grocery store in 20004 I was charged with 2 degree retail fraud. I was in the store for 4 hours. I was told this by a worker after the incident because I do not remember 99 percent of it because I believe I had a hypoglycemic attack with my sugar. It is like being in a black out. I remember some one yelling at me and I remember a cop asking me were my car was after I left the police station and I told him I did not remember were my van was. I forgot it was at the grocery store, so I had him drop me off at this church a mile away that was closed. I am disabled and had my wheelchair in the van back at the grocery store. I think I fell asleep or passed out for a couple of hours until a stranger noticed me and I called my sister who is a nurse to come get me. she found cake icing and candy in the car and gave it to me and I felt much better. Now back to the incident itself I was told a few days later by 2 of the girls that new me well at the store, that I left an electric car in the middle of the aisle full of groceries and then went and got another one and started shopping all over again I opened several cans of cat food an smelled them and put them back on the shelf I don't even own a cat. I stuffed my purse with too many things to mention. I left my cart again in an aisle with my purse and wondered around the parking lot outside. I came back into the store and got into my cart and looked around for a while and when I went to get in line the manager called me out of line and into the back of the store. An inventory of the goods was taken of which included 65 greeting cards. Later the police were called and you know the rest. I found a piece of paper in my pocket that said to call the county building in 4 to 6 weeks to see if they were going to press charges I called 6 times in 6 months and there was nothing. No court date or warrant. I have been stopped by the cops twice in the last 5 years and when they ran me No warrants ever appeared. Last week I was in New Baltimore and thought I would stop at the court house to see if by chance there was a warrant and at first they said NO. But then as I was getting into my car a security guy said to come back in. So here I am. I was given a 1000 dollar personal. And I go for my pre-trial Oct.5 I want to take this to jury court and fight this all the way, I have some medical documentation because I use to weigh 458lbs. in 2002 I lost 230lbs in a little over 2 years by myself but my doctor and or doctors never lowered my diabetes medications which made my sugar drop even more. I'm actually blessed to be alive. Can some one tell me if I have good case and if so what should I do?I don't want to take a plea because I feel I am innocent. I would think my behavior would speak for itself . Also unfortunately one of my witnesses was tortured and murdered in her home along with her husband and the other girl does not work there any more.does anyone have any ideas???? Any responses would be gratefully appreciated. Greatfully yours, Christine
Is HUD Subsidized Apartment Complex Required By ADA Law To Expand Handicapped Parking Space To Meet ADA Law?
I was FORCED to get and to have a permanent Handicapped Parking Space State Permit for my motor vehicle and the apartment manager has given me a Handicapped Parking Space in a location of MY PERSONAL CHOOSING. I am FORCED to use a Power Mobility Device (PMD) which is an Electric Power Scooter.
When I got my PMD, apartment maintenance built me a wooden Disability Access Ramp so I can drive my PMD from the apartment sidewalk into the apartment parking lot.
There are 1 Handicapped Parking Space and 7 regular parking spaces in front of my apartment and the 7 regular parking spaces are to the left side (passenger side) of my motor vehicle. The right side (driver's side) of my Handicapped Parking Space is right next to the apartment parking lot curb and the grass. There are total of 8 parking spaces in front of my apartment building on my side of my apartment building.
The wooden Disability Access Ramp that has been put into my Handicapped Parking Space is now taking up a part of my Handicapped Parking Space. Whenever I park in my Handicapped Parking Space, I am forced to park slightly over the yellow parking stripe which results in my car being parked a little over into a regular parking space.
My Handicapped Parking Space does NOT meet ADA law requirements in having wheelchair access within my Handicapped Parking Space on BOTH sides (driver side and passenger side). I do have wheelchair access on the driver side of my motor vehicle within my Handicapped Parking Space but I do not have wheelchair access on the passenger side of my motor vehicle within my Handicapped Parking Space. Apartment Management has told everybody to park a little further down (a little further away) from my Handicapped Parking Space in which everybody has complied with the Apartment Management's request.
I do need wheelchair space access on both sides (driver side and passenger side) within my Handicapped Parking Space due to the fact of when I have a back seat full of groceries.
Since the wooden Disability Access Ramp was put into my Handicapped Parking Space, there was a visitor that parked right next to my Handicapped Parking Space which was a very tight squeeze for my motor vehicle to get into my Handicapped Parking Space. There was about 5 inches between the passenger side of my motor vehicle and the visitor's van which means I had no way to get a wheelchair between my motor vehicle and the visitor's van. This has only happen one time. The Apartment Management told me that if a motor vehicle parks too close to my Handicapped Parking Space which results in me not being able to park in my Handicapped Parking Space, then I need to go each apartment until I find the person and ask them to move their motor vehicle. It is difficult for me to do this due to my physical Disabilities because each each apartment building is a 2-story apartment building which means that there are stairs to climb and it is difficult for me to walk due to my physical Disabilities and I live in a ground-level apartment.
There are no Handicapped Parking Access Markings (Stripes) on either side of my Handicapped Parking Space.
My apartment complex is an U.S.A. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) subsidized apartment complex which has 80 apartments with 10 2-story buildings with 8 apartments per two-story building. All of the apartments inside are partially Handicapped Accessible.
The question I want to ask is this:
***Is a HUD Subsidized Apartment Complex required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) to have a Disabled PWD apartment residence's Handicapped Parking Space to meet ADA and ADAAA federal law requirements to have wheelchair space access within their Handicapped Parking Space on both sides (driver side and passenger side) of their motor vehicle???***
In this case it means that the left side of my Handicapped Parking Space will need to be expanded to have wheelchair space access within my Handicapped Parking Space on the passenger side of my motor vehicle but I already do have wheelchair space access within my Handicapped Parking Space on the driver side of my motor vehicle.
Thank You.

To Justmeinthisworld: I have no ideal on whether or not that wheelchair access is required by ADA law on both sides which is one of the reasons why I am asking the question. My apartment complex has a "head in only rule". I agree with you 100% that the wooden Disability Access Ramp should not be in my Handicapped Parking Space. The wooden Disability Access Ramp is a portable ramp. Apartment Management will not take out a section of grass to make a larger spot for me with an access aisle.
To Teddy & Chiliswoman: I really do not want to make a fuss which is one of the reasons why I am asking the question to see where I stand at from a legal standpoint. If I do not have a legal point to stand on, then I am going to keep quiet and not make a fuss. I respectfully disagree with you of "not being forced". My physical Disabilities FORCED me into getting a Permanent Handicapped Parking Space State Permit and not for convenience but for NEEDED and NECESSARY reasons.
To fodaddy19: The bottom half of my response to Teddy & Chiliswoman is also addressed to you.
To the responder without a username: I do have a permanent Handicapped Parking license state tag for my motor vehicle and a permanent Handicapped Parking Hanging Placard for my motor vehicle. So yes, I am legally entitled to park in my Handicapped Parking Space.
How Come Most People Don't Get Acne?
Don't come in here saying "Everybody Get's It one time or another" because that is not true, having one pimple is different than having a face full of zits. 95% of people in the general population don't 1 single pimple on their face, my face lately? Has been break out so bad, I'm so miserable, my face has always broken out I have senstive skin, but lately it's like gottan really bad!! I can't remember the last time I went out and did something , I rarely talk to anybody at work, in college I was always hiding and not talking to anybody. It's affected me psycologically and sociolly really bad, I have tried excercising, every over the counter treatment, every home remedy, changed my diet, tried all prescriptions, and their isn't ANYTHING it all breaks down to genes, it's so depressing, I live by myself now and I ran out of food, and I been so embarressed to go out even shopping to buy groceries, most people in general are shallow and they are quick to judge you and look down on you, so it's not even worth wasting your time out their. People say "The only person worrying about it the most is YOU".. Well that is true, but I wouldn't be so worried, if I felt like I wasn't always around shallow people, if acne was more common than ppl would treat you more normal but since it's not they look at you like a monster.....When my face is clear I am totally different person, I love making friends, going out, meeting girls, and I do have good looks, and LOVE living my life, but I been suffering way too long I have turned into a loser with no life what so ever, I wish all these spoiled kids that live perfect lives would get cursed with bad acne, it's not fair only a tiny percentage of people get literally CURSED with this while everybody else gets a normal chance. I got a doctors appt in a couple weeks, I'm going to ask for accutane, I'm absolutely hopeless, I'm fixing to quit my job soon bc of it and move back home with my parents, I'm 20 btw.. And I'm gonna take the semseter off and start in the spring. I'm glad some people feel my pain, but not everybody does, they could only say "try PRO ACTIVE!!" gimme a break, all that is exfoliator, toner, and lotion, I can BUY all that for 5$ at the store it doesn't work. They show all these commercials "CLEAN AAND CLEAR AND UNDER CONTROL!!" those girls u can tell never had one pimple maybe a little tiny one nobody could see. Shoot I'll trade them faces any day, all the countless day I've wasted struggling I can't wait to get on accutane, sorry so long I just needed to vent :-(
