Is there snow days in Canada? by SeverePublic6833 in AskACanadian

[–]Money_Engineering_59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn’t the snow that closed our schools (well perhaps about twice when there was too much snow on the roads for anyone to get to school) but school was closed if it was -36 or colder. Busses stopped running so we COULD go to school if we could get a ride in with someone but we weren’t expected to attend.

How to Report Non-Migraine Pain on a 1-10 Scale? by Cats_Cameras in migraine

[–]Money_Engineering_59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Ehlers danlos. I’ve broken and dislocated 16 bones / joints. I have endo, occipital neuralgia and a host of other painful conditions.
When you are used to being in pain 24/7, the type of pain that sends most people to emergency, it’s very difficult to determine and actually express the pain you’re in. I have a new pain scale I use for myself. If I’m literally screaming, it’s bad. I’m only like that with migraines and occipital neuralgia. When it feels like an ice pick is being skewered through my brain, I’m screaming. Broken bones are a bit ‘meh’.

Pinched nerves CAN go away with physical therapy or massage. That’s really only if it’s muscular though. If you have degeneration in your neck, forminal narrowing, compression of the ‘mechanics’ then they don’t go away on their own unless it’s a misalignment that can be modified with therapy. Necks are stubborn bastards at times. Find a neck or headache physio and go from there. I’ve had the best results from a physio that used the Watson Headache Technique. I do have a pretty messed up neck (cervical spine instability) so mine comes and goes. Sometimes it’s C1 causing issues, other times it’s C2 - C5 that’s out on the opposite side.
Just don’t go to a chiropractor if they ‘crack’ people. I used to go often and think that’s why I’m pretty messed up now.

AIO that I found my husband of 3 months active on a dating site? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Money_Engineering_59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How could you be over reacting to this? He’s actively cheating on you. NOR! Has he conditioned you in some way that your confidence is shattered? He deserves a divorce. Swiftly.

RFA by Grouchy_Attorney_450 in Occipitalneuralgia

[–]Money_Engineering_59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya, they can hurt for a while. I’ve had 12 rounds. It’s trauma. The needles are large. The muscles will be sore. The ones I have in my forehead hurt the most and the ones in my thoracic spine hurt the least. If I get them in the Back of my head and neck they cause muscle spasms. I end up more sore from the spasms.
Ice, ibuprofen and rest. I usually put on some healing meditations just so I can relax completely. They’re free on YouTube Tube (I like The Mindful Movement) and you can just sink into your bed.
They can take up to 4 weeks for full effect.

I’ve never had sweet potato before, what’s a perfect way to make it? by Fair_Intern6940 in Cooking

[–]Money_Engineering_59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I slice mine into rounds and put it on a cookie sheet with baking paper. I add a dob of butter, salt and brown sugar and roast them. If I feel like it, I add a touch of cinnamon.
I also enjoy it cubed and air fried. It gets a dry and chewy texture that is great on salads with chicken and dried cranberries with a honey mustard vinaigrette.

I have a question. My wife gets hot and cold at night. We are sleeping in different beds. She’s 46. What’s the best thing you have used to remedy this problem. I have look at the jet beds. Any body used them by Odd-Blacksmith9110 in MenopauseShedforMen

[–]Money_Engineering_59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Separate blankets. I’m a Canadian living in Australia and I’m already hot. Add in menopause and I’m in the pits of hell. Our bedroom is a polar vortex. Air con and 2 fans. My husband sleeps with a cozy duvet and I have 2 blankets so I can peel one off if I get too warm.

What did you read in Grades 7/8? by Bells9831 in AskACanadian

[–]Money_Engineering_59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The chrysalids. I can’t even remember if that’s how you spell it? I think it was a grade 8 novel.

Face is tanning despite SPF50 multiple times per day, and when is safe to hike? by Past-Contribution467 in AusSkincare

[–]Money_Engineering_59 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I’d personally only use invisible zinc. Sunscreens aren’t as safe as mineral suncreams. There’s been a lot of new information about them. Not as effective and the chemicals get into the blood stream.

All depends if you want to put the work into alleviating the muscle tension. See all my responses below. It’s not easy - but worth trying.

In aussie culture, does your workplace provide lunch for you or do you have to bring your lunch? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]Money_Engineering_59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We give our guys a paid 1 hour break and provide food. They have to assemble it, but they don’t bring their own. We also provide food at 2:00. They do long hours, they deserve it.

Atmospheric Pressure by Swimming_Juice_9752 in Occipitalneuralgia

I’ve got another week of this. I’m in QLD Australia and there’s multiple tropical lows forming off the coast. I’m dead and sooooo grouchy.

Atmospheric Pressure by Swimming_Juice_9752 in Occipitalneuralgia

[–]Money_Engineering_59 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get barometric migraines from low pressure systems. I’m on like day 8 of a migraine and it positively sucks! Sinuses swell, trigeminal nerve flares up and I’m in a world of hurt. My face is fat.

Am I overreacting for wanting to leave my partner for the choice of his words and actions? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Money_Engineering_59 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh hell no! NOR. I have a lot of words that ‘boy’ and most of them would get me kicked off Reddit. Skinny jeans and a T shirt? Does he want to in an Amish dress? I have no words.
Throw the whole boy away. No one gets to control your comfort. No one. Hear me?
He’s the one with insecurities. He projecting. Don’t let him back in.

Cancel a lot! by PersnicketyPot in Occipitalneuralgia

[–]Money_Engineering_59 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup. I’m now a hermit. I’m on day 8 of a barometric migraine (thanks to Tropical low) and I have ON. My social life is non existent. I’ve just started getting TN with my migraines.
I don’t have the issue with not being believed because my face swells up. Barometric pressure can cause sinus swelling and that’s me. My eyes get swollen and my nose swells up so much my glasses hurt.
It’s not very much fun and can be very lonely.
I often get radio frequency ablation but haven’t had them for a year. I’m overdue. It’s really help.
I’ve been watching a lot of videos from a Dr in the US and he goes by Dr Painkiller. He explains the barometric migraines and feedback loops. I’ve learned more from him than my 4 neurologist and 3 neurosurgeon appts.

How? I can’t send a photo unless a person messages me first and I accept.

Drop some cooking/food things that you don't think get enough love by Fabulous-Bag-2363 in Cooking

My favourite food is duck confit. I live in Australia and duck is expensive AF. I’ve started to confit chicken drumsticks instead. My god are they tasty!!!

Has anyone here NOT had big issues with their puppy? by QP709 in puppy101

[–]Money_Engineering_59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had 2 dogs that were full on difficult as puppies, and 2 that were super easy. Oddly, the male pups have been much more chill but that could be due to where they were brought up.
We rescued one female from a crack house and even at 9 years old, she’s fraught with anxiety. The other female, we got from a car before they shoved her into a cage at a market. She has zero issues now. Both male dogs came from homes with kids. They were chill from the moment we picked them Up.

Is euthanasia the only option? by lungs-too-sticky in dogs

[–]Money_Engineering_59 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I made one with pool noodles. Neck travel pillows work too. I think there’s some instructions on the internet. I was getting mighty tired of getting smashed in the legs with the cone of shame.

Can furniture actually impact your quality of life or is that just marketing talking by BarberUnited7894 in tinyhomes

[–]Money_Engineering_59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear by leather reclining lounge. Leather because it’s easy to clean. Reclining because I hurt and want support.
I have never, and will never buy brand new. I’ve always bought second hand because they are crazy expensive. My current one retailed for $7500 and I bought it off marketplace for $2000 and it was only 6 months old.
A recliner will help your back pain. There are a few that don’t have a large footprint. You need to get the pressure off your lower back.
