[Vertigo]

I just filled an Advanced Directive

[anon77239798]

Who did you work with on that @Vertigo? I want to have one the next time I flare up so that if I’m in the hospital again they have all of the information put together.

I have myasthenia gravis , my vision (optic nerve) is attacked by my immune system , my vision usually becomes compromised and I see double and can become psychotic. This is how I met all of you.

The Charity group that I’m involved with gave it to me @NiceHat

I saw your another post mentioning advance directives.

Overprotection in Mental Health: Why Can't Psychiatric Patients Use Advanced Directives?

Over time societies have become more interested and invested in protecting vulnerable populations. Even before governments took on a more active role, religious and social groups were heavily involved in helping those who couldn’t help themselves. Some protections however, can become more like restrictions, and they may be more harmful than helpful. What are posters views on advanced directives? Have you ever had one made?
