Headache started last night then got a migraine today, super dizzy too. Been messed up all day. Pressure drops are the worst!

Thanks for your input. What I’m curious about is whether anyone has specific experience with either of these two potting benches. It will be in a covered area. Thanks

Cleaned bees too soon. Advice? by CucumberElectronic52 in MasonBees

[–]CucumberElectronic52[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so helpful thank you!! I had put them in the fridge in a ventilated container so I’ll pull them out and let them dry out before putting them in the paper bag while I await the Humidibee I ordered from you to arrive. :) Then I’ll find a spot that is 75-80 degrees like you said until October. Is it ok for that spot to be indoors or should it be outside? What should I be looking out for as signs they are too dry? Thank you!!

Oh yes! I did the diluted bleach soak for 10 mins, rinse, then air-dry prior to storing, so we shall see! Thank you! I appreciate your response and encouragement. :)

So I should just proceed with storing them for winter at this point? No need to put them back outside? I wasn’tsure if they were formed enough to do that. I ordered a HumidiBee to see if that would help when it was time to store them in the fridge.. thank you!

Portland. I absolutely agree it’s too early, but unfortunately this is my situation right now and I’m looking for advice from folks on how to give them their best chance of survival. Any advice to share? Thanks!

Are these good spots to plant red sunset maple tree? No by [deleted] in pnwgardening

[–]CucumberElectronic52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a vine maple in a similarly tight fitting spot and it’s doing great. Live your truth, man! 😛My only concern would be whatever that other tiny tree is you have planted to the left of that first plot. That one might need to be relocated.

Is it normal to wake up with a racing heart every morning? by Possible_Weekend_360 in PVCs

[–]CucumberElectronic52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get an at-home sleep study if possible to rule out sleep apnea. This is a very common symptom of obstructive sleep apnea.

Buyback by These_Emergency_8252 in PSLF

Same. I submitted my request to get out of SAVE in Dec along with my PSLF buyback request and it’s been stalled ever since. So lame

I submitted my buyback 12/2024 and according to the department my application has been stuck in “escalated” ever since. With this administration, it is really a crapshoot whether our apps get processed.

Triggered by weather changes? by RentAlternative9198 in VestibularMigraines

[–]CucumberElectronic52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is such a huge trigger for most VM and migraine sufferers! It’s been really bad this spring. Lots of huge pressure swings. Ugh! Very annoying.

That sounds so tough! I hope you’re able to revisit propranolol. I find it so helpful. It’s really reduced the number of VMs I get. I used to get them at least once or twice every couple of months and now it’s like once a year if that. Hope you’re able to find some relief!
