teacher abuse

by gw

Oct 7, 2017

I am a 75 year old high school receptionist in a private high school where I taught for 15 years. A student--6'5" star football player, an 18 year old senior, with braces got in my face when I asked him to go where he belonged and said "What you going to do? What you going to do?" I reacted immediately to what felt was a threat to my safety by hitt...See More

TinaJo Hi, Nicole.

It looks as though folks don't post here much currently. I generally don't post, but thought I should reply. I don't have experience with your particular issues, but a family member has MS. In researching possible ways to help, they found out about low dose naltrexone. It is not a traditional treatment, but I hope you will loo...See More

Nicole Hi Tina Jo,

Thanks for your response! I appreciate your advice. Unfortunately, MS drugs are usually not the same drugs used to treat my condition. However, more treatments are being developed.

What does your family member with MS do for a living? Has it affected his or her work at all?

Thanks for your response! I appreciate your advice. Unfortunately, MS drugs are usually not the same drugs used to treat my condition. However, more treatments are being developed.

What does your family member with MS do for a living? Has it affected his or her work at all?

My question is not so much about treatments, but about work strategies. As you know, work can make a big difference in your health and teaching even more so. If anyone has experience in this area, I would love to hear about it.

Warm thanks,

Nicole
