My dad broke to me in secret that my mom actually has Multiple System Atrophy. Am lost for words

Hi @AsifIjaz. Your response was most insightful. Thought I would give you an update The doctors and others originally thought it was Parkinson's but most Parkinson's cases show people going through a general decline over atleast 10 years. However in my mom's case she has really deteriorated...

Actually we are not sure if its parkinson's because that is what the neurosurgeons suspected initially, but even parkinson patients take apparently a good 5-10 years before the symptoms really start to get out of control but in my mom's case she was initially diagnosed in 2016, but a second...

For the record. Me and my dad will look after my mom even after my marriage, this will not be the spouses responsibility. But unfortunately given the times and era we live in today, a guys mother or father being extremely unwell is a big redflag for the girls side of the family and they will...

My mother's Parkinson's and neurological disorder has really accelerated at record speed in the last 2 years especially in the last 6 months. She used to be a strong solid active independent woman all her life and now her world has completely turned upside down and now she is completely...

Just two days left before tax season is over. This is the first time I have to admit where I am feeling very blue and depressed, three months of working 10-12 plus hours a day with just Sunday off, eating fast food, junk food and having sodas, doing well on 100-150 files but one mistake on a...

That depends on the type of role. The problem in North America is that Big 4 accountants are highly preferred for industry positions, candidates from small to mid sized accounting firms are generally over looked or ignored. My initial plan was to get as much experience and exposure in...

Are there any CPA's, CA's, Accountants over here? Preferably from the US or Canada, looking for career advice

This is something i never ever thought i would do in a million years. The whole idea and concept terrified me and for me i thought it was the platform of the last resort and a place where people lie and where mostly the most unattractive options gather. My therapist strongly suggested i do...

Mom and Dad told me off for trying to be inquisitive about my mother's health and condition for a while. Mom and Dad finally came clean today and admitted the Parkinson's diagnosis one and a and how it was progressing at a much faster rate than they initially expected it would. And they both...

I bought these Sony Headphones from ebay a week ago with the purpose of recording certain phone conversations on a needed basis...

Actually my parents have not revealed or disclosed to us the kids and family members about what she is suffering from. But we are using our own judgement and looking at the symptoms, it is obvious that this is Parkinson's. I have discussed her case with a few doctor friends of mine and they are...

It is really nerve wracking to see one's parents become extremely unwell and deteriorating rapidly with each and every passing second. My mother was an extremely proud, ambitious, determined, steadfast woman who rose to the top of her career, profession and single handedly looked after us as a...

Does anyone know of any good agency, organization or consultants anywhere in the world who help to transform a shy, introverted individuals social media profiles ie Facebook, Twitter and Instagram where they take over it, manage it for the individual, decide on what pics to upload, what posts to...

I have been able to reestablish contact with her after a two month hiatus. I have even told her about having Asperger's Syndrome/Autism Spectrum Disorder to which she responded very supportingly and her golden words were that a person isn't defined by whatever they suffer from but by what kinds...

I am currently pursuing the CPA designation in Canada which if everything goes to plan should be achieved by Sept 2019. The next step for me would be to give one exam in the US and obtain the US CPA designation as well and then one exam in the UK with which i can get the ACCA qualification in...

I am not trolling here but this is kind of a hard one for me to wrap my head around where i have a black and white approach where i say yes they should but then realist in me also tells me that things are not always that simple on this planet. I will give a couple of very different examples to...

What if i revealed to everyone that i have Aspergers Syndrome (Level 1)?
