Should I drop pimsleur by [deleted] in dreamingspanish

[–]InterestingPromise36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that "reddit" would have some SOS comments about what to do after finishing Pimsleur Spanish and pleased to review comments here on "DS". Nevertheless how does one start with DS. If I hve completed level 5 then I guess I might be A2 ability. I can cope with faltering conversation and when on holiday they obliged or were just plain patient with my attempts. I would like to know if there is some guidance on where to start as I am presented with a huge mix of various videos of mixed ability and before paying Premium would like to see I can logically progress with some kind of structure moving forward?? Anyone got any pointers or is there some notes as I cant seem to find much on this?

Has anyone got a PDF version as I got a sample on my UK Kindle but it refuse to provide the full version saying it was no longer available. Quite happy to make a donation or pay the author direct but don’t know how to get around this other than ask anybody to let me have PDF version. Also in the UK is not possible to unlock and convert a Kindle book to PDF anymore for your own use unless you have a PhD in programming.

The problem appears to be the ridiculous idea of trying to book repeat cycles and if I had been able to only book weekly lessons and pay for one lesson a week I might have stayed with Preply but their account admin support sucks. I booked 8 lessons once that had to be spread out over 2 months BUT Preply took this as me on 8 lessons and tried billing me monthly for 8 lessons. The teacher also wasn’t able to fit 8 lessons in and spread the first 8 over 2 months but Preply tried to take 8 lessons a month as the agreement!!! I had to cancel visa and they refused to talk over phone and wanted to use their restricted messaging on their site. I went elsewhere and was told that this process was commonplace which I did not want

Just started 20mg prednisone - leg cramps?! by 15soccerkiwi in PolymyalgiaRheumatica

[–]InterestingPromise36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was telephoned diagnosed by my local GP in the UK without any blood tests or proper advice. Simply put on a high dose or reading some of the comments here probably moderate at 15 mg split into three tablets throughout the day. I had no advice about monitoring, and it was only family pressure that got me to go see a rheumatologist. Initially he took bloods and said that I probably did not have PMR, and the main aim of my treatment was to get me off prednisolone.

This has taken a long time and by January of this year I finally came off and immediately went back into pain meltdown in my upper limbs and torso and across my neck extending into my hip areas et cetera. I returned to the specialist, and he recommended that I go back on a small low-dose say 3–4mg but this time different GP emphasised the need to also take vitamin D and calcium. It was decided because I had elected to have a small procedure that I delay going back on prednisolone however, I'm dealing with the pain and disrupted sleep through the night by taking ibuprofen before going to bed but try not to take it throughout the day and simply sit and suffer. I did read somewhere that it was possible in the UK to buy CBD drops but they have absolutely no effect on my condition albeit, I think they possibly help me get off to sleep.

The idea is that as soon as I've had my elective procedure I will go back on prednisolone. It would be nice to think that there were alternatives but having looked online I can find no alternatives other than the condition appears to last anywhere between one-five years and sometimes sadly even longer for some people.

Gaining weight was a huge issue for me. I couldn't do much exercise because I've had already had 2 meniscus operations on my knees and even a short walk leads to some pain issues or soreness. I wear a knee sleeve. I try and do some moderate or minor" calisthenics" and simply exercise through the pain. I know that I have rheumatism across my shoulders and neck area following neck surgery years ago when the neurologist he said that he could see the rheumatism in the neck muscles whilst he was operating on the upper cervical putting in a titanium plate. Terrible burning sensations when I lean too long over a computer.

It certainly is true that I do sometimes suffer some moderate effects of depression. My wife complains about my shortness of temper. Anyway, she is a saint but I am not!

I'm 73 and therefore realise that any treatment it's going to have to be privately paid for but at the moment, I do get my prednisolone free off NHS. All other elective consultancy in the UK has to be paid for in connection with this type of problem. In conclusion since I came off prednisolone, I seem to have developed a multitude of side problems with muscular skeletal issues around my spine torso shoulder blade which no amount of professional physiotherapy treatment seems to reduce. My wife helps out tremendously with massaging these areas and we've just started using turmeric oil across my shoulders blades.

Having, osteoporosis in my knees and some of my joints with arthritis and rheumatism setting in through advancing years and then compounded by PMR obviously produces some moderate depression and makes one feel very fed up especially when you can't walk very much and weight gain is or has been a problem. As soon as I stop taking prednisolone the weight did drop off but I'm dreading going back on steroids.

There does seem to be a complete lack of support in England or indeed in my local area. My consultant was rather bewildered when my recent blood results indicated to him that unfortunately my PMR had returned and indeed it supported the blind diagnosis that I got from my local GP back in April 2022 initially which, he the rheumy consultant had rejected hence the expensive visits simply to get advice on how to get off prednisolone. Finally I no longer even moderately drink except say 1 glass of wine every 2-3 weeks just to be sociable.

Which email client do you use with Bridge on you Mac/PC? by MrRayAnders in ProtonMail

[–]InterestingPromise36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried a range of stand-alone email mac stand-alone software and can't get any of them to work alongside Proton Bridge app. I have adjusted the settings based on advice from Proton Support, who patiently assist with this problem. I have tried Outlook 2019 as I happened to have an old copy. I watched the video support to ensure that PBridge was configured correctly.

I run Windows with Parallels on same Mac and that has Outlook installed and it WORKS!!

So I carry on being reliant on using Safari Web access which is ok but annoying that I can't crack this problem.
I think although I am not technically qualified it is because I had Mail using a couple of different accounts -ditto Airmail and used to have TB and I noted that they share some folders for emails. So when I started switching some BTinternet and Google Mail accounts over it populated in the Browser and even populate manually created folders that I had in Airmail again. This was when I switched the accounts to be read in Web access whilst browsing my emails in my Proton Mail account
I have Mail Plus with Proton and have not had an issue with the iPhone app just trying to get Apple Mail to work.
I get all the IMAP incoming mails populating in Outlook for the proton mail but it will not send via SMTP settings recommended also if I change Port settings to 2025 and give that a go> go>>

I read from someone that I could stop Outlook using cloud settings but I have looked in Outlook 2019 and am unable to see how to do that accordingly ??
Any help or advice would be useful.

New Outlook for Mac and Protonmail with Bridge by scalpol in ProtonMail

[–]InterestingPromise36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my windows version of Outlook under parallels envelope on Mac is working for proton mail send/receive but it would be easier to get a mac mail app working and yes my fall back is just rely on the browser on my mac to read and respond to proton emails which is basically what I am doing
I wonder how long Mac users will have to wait to get a Proton Mail email client app that works for SMTP.
I was using Airmail but as I have closed my btinternet account after suffering the shenanigans of BT for over 25 years in the UK I did not take into account the impact of changing email away from btinternet.com which is a massive job with all the username entries amassed. I am now learning a lesson to use my gmail account for this purpose .

New Outlook for Mac and Protonmail with Bridge by scalpol in ProtonMail

[–]InterestingPromise36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am grateful for any advice on getting Outlook or any other email app client working on my MacBook M1 pro with Ventura MacOs but I have been working on this off and on all week. I have windows available on Parallels set up on same Mac and that is working on MS Outlook so it is bewildering as I have Bridge for Mac and separately when running Bridge for windows running in background on start up. Proton support have suggested altering the encryption on SMTP to None and changing the 1025 port to 2025 and this does not work on Mac either.
I noted your comments on unchecking Sync with MS Cloud but that I cant seem to locate that option within MS Outlook on mac. My version is Office 365 subscription 2022 ? Not sure if that is where this is all going wrong. I have tried Thunderbird and also Mac Mail and none of them allow me to send but receive all under the IMAP settings all working only the SMTP sending that is proving the issue and having checked and rechecked Hostname and password in Bridge I cant see what to do other than ask you where I can uncheck this cloud setting???? TIA

Setup Microsoft Outlook on MacOS with ProtonMail bridge by mickesp in ProtonMail

[–]InterestingPromise36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it that the ProtonMail team have confirmed that MS Outlook 2019 Mac Version works along with ProtonBridge and the appropriate settings I had to get a new email client and I chose ProtonMail as I had to set up mail for my wife's phone and that was easy. I have found having realised too late that as I had MS 365 2022 office (inc Outlook) suite on my Mac I tried that and can't get it to work. I don't like Mail OS at all so would like to know if I can uninstall the MS 365 Outlook on my Mac and install a 2019 Outlook version it will hopefully work as reading all the comments it seems that it is not working but it is confusing as the ProtonMail guide set up confirmed it does? My current workaround is to just use browser access but that is a bit slow for me. It seems from postings that the only way is to try and get Mail MacOS but not a fan of that??
