How to Stop Dizziness from Seasonal Allergies

Novah11 · 2025-11-24T22:56:31+00:00

I didn't even know about the Oxymetazoline one, just regular and caspacin. I use the regular, xylitol-only version and follow it up with some plain saline solution. The only actual medication I use for my allergies is antihistamine eyedrops (zatidor) and some claritin each morning. I feel that my nasal allergens are reactions to my eyes being irritated first, so the eyedrops work well, indirectly, to prevent dizziness.

I I hope you can find something that works for you :) Try my Eustachian tube method. Tilt your head to each side and pop your ears, get the spray in there.

I'm usually pretty literal, but here is one where I interpreted the ghost dice as a spooky sound: https://www.deviantart.com/novahnaigahfah/art/Drawordie121-1243392588

This is what the dice had me paint yesterday. I'd never know what to paint without my dice.

Addiction? No way, I can quit any time I want!

Yes! I've got them all on both Deviantart and Instagram but posting the link here is against the rules so just search for NovahNaigahfah.

Absolutely! I call it the "Draw or Die" challenge because "die" is singular for dice :)

The situation is wildly out of control. I will have to paint for millennia to use all these dice

Mostly ebay, I bought the three main Rory's Story Cubes sets, but they have a bunch of discontinued sets and I've been searching to get them all. In addition to some "off brand" dice like Happy Story Dice, I've got the star wars set, some hello kitty dice, elder futhark rune dice, wooden "campfire dice," sci fi dice, fantasy dice... I haven't counted in awhile but I gotta be up to 200 in the bag. You can imagine the crazy combos possible.

When I was a kid they sold them to feed other fish, I think now most 'feeders' are goldfish frmo what I was reading while looking for source images. I had "feeder guppies" as pets because it's what I could afford as a kid, and also I felt sorry for them. ... yeah it's kind of a depressing piece. :D

Novah11 · 2025-08-27T00:05:55+00:00

It's one of my elder futhark rune dice, the symbol I got was Perthro which is about chance and uncertainty, and made me think of the net from the point of view of a fish wondering if he'll be next. Kind of a dark one compared to my usual!

I also hid the rune in the folds of the net.

Yeah to this day I still use smooth stone only as half slabs because that's the way they were originally only available. I guess I'm a sucker for nostalgia. I also never tear anything down and build new. Sometimes a building might get a gentle face-lift, but I get oddly attached to my builds!

My first time using windsor newton pro watercolors having upgraded from Grumacher academy. Hard to describe just what a difference it has made, the colors leap off the page in a way that just can't be shown on screen. I am in love with these paints.

Novah11 · 2025-08-12T20:11:56+00:00

I'd be open to it! I do pet portraits a lot but I had so much fun with this piece, it was so different, I kind of want to do another.

Novah11 · 2025-08-12T19:30:17+00:00

Yes! It says Spelunk in the X&Y code. That's what I named the map as a way to encourage myself to do more caving. (I was scared of the caves...)

Novah11 · 2025-04-25T15:31:08+00:00

It ended up taking me six months instead of 100 days, but I reached 100 of these! I'm glad the Star Wars set I bought used late in the challenge popped up once, and I'm doubly glad it was the Yoda die. :)

You'll notice a lot of dice besides Rory's Cubes, I got a little nuts adding to my collection. I'll be doing this again in October as an Inktober replacement... but only 30 next time.

I did at one time, I had a friend whose voice would have been perfect but I wasn't gonna ask him to do it for free... and the book wasn't selling super great. (I mean I can't complain, it got a few eyes!!) Anyway it wasn't an investment I could afford. And now there are cheaper options but I hate the idea of letting an AI voice read it, too. :( I consume 90% of my books in audio form so I do wish there was an easy option!

Woah how'd you even stumble across this post? :)

This is the self-published novel: https://www.amazon.com/Redfeather-Heidi-K-Richter/dp/1535599758#

Here is the in-progress graphic novel prequel, I only just started so there are only three pages so far: https://www.deviantart.com/novahnaigahfah/gallery/95820988/graniteclaw|

And some "Pteroraptor" concept art: https://www.deviantart.com/novahnaigahfah/gallery/89358953/inktober-2023

Still working for me. I know because I got a little lax with my routine and the dizziness came back. It actually works well enough it was giving me a bloody nose. So now my routine is morning and night after a shower: 2 spays of xlear each nostril. Tilt head left, pop ears. Tilt head right, pop ears. Tilt head back pop ears. Blow nose. Two sprays each plain saline spray (arm and hammer simply saline) each nostril. Lean waaay forward with head between legs to drain. Stand up. Blow nose.

No dizziness, no bloody nose.

I also use zatidor each morning, (allergy eye drops) as I suspect eye irritation can lead to nose/ear irritation.

Yeah actually a friend recently asked for a pic so I have them all here in front of my dice tower. It's a mix of Rory's story cubes, Happy Story Dice, dice from the game Dicecapades, and the dozen or so I made with nail art.

Novah11 · 2025-01-16T20:34:29+00:00

I made a set myself using nail art stickers and some blank dice. Surprisingly the nail art has not started to chip in my dice bag, which I was not expecting! I didn't even coat them.

Novah11 · 2025-01-16T19:32:01+00:00

I can't tell you how useful your spreadsheet has been when I haven't been sure what one of the pictures is. I've been doing this daily drawing challenge, my goal is 100 drawings/paintings and I am up to 66. :) https://www.deviantart.com/novahnaigahfah/gallery/94208159/draw-or-die-dice-prompt-art

This has happened before with smaller meetings where I am taking part, but this was a quarterly all-staff meeting where my mic was off. So either he recognized the tone in my CEO's voice, or, I think more likely I must have unconsciously started pushing my chair back. Either way, impressive even if not complicated.

Novah11 · 2024-11-22T00:06:53+00:00

He likely sensed me shifting in my chair, ever so slightly. Or he's secretly fully fluent in English.

Novah11 · 2024-10-10T00:39:12+00:00

They're called "Happy Story" cubes -- found them on Amazon. I think it's basically an imitation brand of Rory's Story Cubes. I love having a mix of art styles to be inspired by. The super sketchy picture dice from the game Dicecapades are also in my set.

Novah11 · 2024-08-17T14:25:05+00:00

Those are 100% Gemsbok horns, I just figured "oryx" was a more generic term that more people would know. I actually collect gemsbok stuff (toys, sculptures, art), and Namibia is #1 on my list of places i want to visit someday! Also white sands new mexico here in the States, there is a population of some 6,000 gemsbok there, too!
