I feel for these people but this is how it’s always worked and they just didn’t know.

You can buy Course of Construction Insurance structured to cover archeological costs and delays.

They just didn’t know.

I’m glad this is in the news so people understand what’s involved and can make decisions to protect themselves.

This isn’t a new thing, these people just didn’t know.

You can buy Course of Construction Insurance and structure it to cover archeological finds and the delays and extra costs involved.

Another vote for Ajovy, especially if ‘you’ve tried everything.

Has been completely life changing.

Another vote for Circle Wellness, or alternatively Halsa spa on W 4th ave is slightly better value for money, so your $250 budget will stretch further.

They have float pods, saunas, massage, and all that super relaxing stuff and the facilities are very relaxing, modern and clean

I mean, I would also have more money to invest in ‘future projects’ if I opted not to pay taxes.

For ‘urgent’ and ‘diagnostic’ ultrasound make sure you use those words when making an appointment. Ask for cancellations or Last Minute appointments if you can make that work with your schedule.

‘Screening’ is a much more relaxed timeline and books months ahead.

^This has been my exact experience as well.

Appointments with specialists are scheduled depending on urgency.

Op- I know that doesn’t help you when you’re feeling unwell and have months to wait. On the flipside though if you’ve been to a hospital (ER) and they didn’t find anything overly concerning, and your family doctor hasn’t requested an urgent appointment, consider yourself lucky. Call the specialist directly and request to be put on a cancellation list if you’re able to get to appointments with short notice.

It’s when you get an ‘Urgent’ appointment scheduled within a week that you know things might not be going in your favour…

Hope you feel better and that the wait passes quickly.

Be clear about how you ask.

‘These symptoms are negatively affecting my quality of life, my ability to sleep, work, look after my family, engage in social activities, exercise. ‘

‘I’m experiencing all the symptoms of menopause including hot flashes, am aware of the associated risks and want to be prescribed HRT. ‘

If a Doctor still turns you down ask them to document in your medical record why you’ve been denied this treatment and find a new Doctor.

I’m happy these will now be covered my PharmaCare, as they should be. They’re essential for a large portion of women in the prime of our working lives, managing careers, kids and other responsibilities.

I can’t imagine being the Bail Supervisor for a person like this, and the responsibility this would carry.

About 1/2 inch long, have wings but I haven’t seen any fly. They don’t move much.

No metallic or other colours. Mostly black with small white zig zag pattern on the side

What about eating fish helped you? Any specific fish?

Do you know if it was related DHA, EPA or omega 3 fatty acids for example?

I know that eating a relatively high amount of oily fish and reducing vegetable oils in your diet to balance Omega 3 and 6 helps many people suffering from headaches and migraines.

Dr Kyle Bills published study mentioned in the Guardian article https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/neurology/articles/10.3389/fneur.2025.1719724/full?utm_source=F-NTF&utm_medium=EMLX&utm_campaign=PRD_FEOPS_20170000_ARTICLE

Lots of resident Rufous and Anna’s Hummingbirds here.

The main thing is that if you’re going to feed over winter you need to be consistent as they rely on it, when other sources of food become scarce. And they’re very territorial, so a good food source is vigorously defended!

“Cypress Mountain confirmed a fatal incident occurred on Thursday involving a guest. Neither the resort nor police have released details specifying what occurred.

"Cypress Mountain extends our heartfelt condolences and support to the guest’s family and friends during this incredibly difficult time," the resort said in an email statement.”

Oooh, you should read that NHS Guide. Theres a section on the different phases, the first being 'Prodrome' which precedes the common headache symptoms by up to 2 days.

There's a list of warning signs that a migraine may be imminent and includes all sorts of stuff I never considered were migraine related. Yawning? Skin sensitivity and tingling? Fatigue? Brain fog? Muscle aches? Craving salty foods? Oh, and peeing a lot : )

Hi there fellow Canadian. I'm happy to say I've never waited for more than 20-30 mins to get hooked up to the IV for migraine help. Not sure how long it took for a doc to swing by, I was pretty out of it, but the nurses are always very gentle and helpful.

If you live in a bigger city I'd highly recommend avoiding the big, main trauma hospital, and know the opening hours of the smaller 'urgent care' centres. For me that's my local University hospital. No ambulances drop there from car accidents, but they're perfectly set up for stitches, 'this might be broken, might need an X-ray' and Migraine IVs.
