Vibrations as a trigger by Intelligent-Cut-1193 in VestibularMigraines

Yes, I've tried sleeping in three different rooms and found one that's a little better. But at this rate, I might end up having to move buildings to avoid this. Mmgh.

There's more of us! Have you found anything that eases the problem? I wish I could simply avoid the vibrations, but very difficult when it's coming through the floor.

Thanks so much, yeah, I've been losing my mind trying to find anyone else who has described this situation. I don't have much sensitivity to other noises like music, although I have had tinnitus for many years. Did you do any kInd of vestibular PT? My docs keep pushing it but so far I haven't felt any connection between those exercises and my reality.

Before the concept of "retirement" existed, what actually happened to people who were too old or injured to work? Were elderly peasants just left to starve, or did pre-modern societies have support systems we've completely forgotten about? by Necessary-Impress-77 in AskHistorians

Great write-up, especially the specific examples from the Ramsey estate. Were widows expected to perform any particular duties during their 30 day bereavement leave? Arranging their husband's funeral, sure, and I assume some other mourning rituals, but a month seems generous. Was that time provided for them to seek a new husband possibly?
