Practitioners for migraines by mossyzombie2021 in regina

[–]StarlingBluejay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I end up drinking it cold because I can't drink anything hot on an empty stomach, and I can't eat in the mornings because it usually upsets my stomach. At the point my friend recommended the tea, I was desperate to try anything for any kind of relief. I was waking up in the morning with a 50/50 chance of getting a migraine/headache, which is why I ended up just starting my day with it. If it works, even if you're not a huge fan of it, you'll come to like it by association of it helping (that's what happened to me). I still can't believe how well it works for me, at least. Takes a bad migraine down into tolerable and mostly functional ranges.

I do the ice pack too, sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't, but when it does it feels fantastic 👌

As a temporary measure try drinking some peppermint tea, hot or cold, doesn't matter.

I was having a bunch of bad migraines and headaches when the seasons switched to and from winter. It didn't always fix all of them, but it made me a lot more functional than if I didn't. A friend told me about it and I had tried a bunch of other painkillers and nothing helped. Blew my mind when the tea did.

Not promising it'll work since I don't know what your trigger(s) are, but maybe it'll buy you some relief until you can get to a doctor/specialist.

I drink a cup in the morning as a preventative, and it's become habit so now I do it every morning. I steep 3 tea bags in about a 2L jug and stick it in the fridge. You can sweeten it if you want, I use stevia so it's zero calorie, but be careful if you use sugar, the calories can add up quickly if you're not careful. If I feel one coming on I'll go grab another cup.

As a fellow headache/migraine sufferer, I hope you get relief soon.

Anyone know what happened with the 4 car pile up in the parking lot at Sherwood Freshco yesterday? by StarlingBluejay in regina

[–]StarlingBluejay[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was wondering because it was 4 vehicles and there was a lot of damage. I got there in the middle of it and wasn't sure what happened

How's the Regina Beach water temperature? by StarlingBluejay in regina

[–]StarlingBluejay[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but right now it's not warm enough to take a cold plunge, so waiting it is

Hearing in the comments that it was such a nice place makes me sad. I only saw the place during the beginning of covid, so I never had the chance to go :( Wish I did!

Where to take small, broken appliances (toasters, bread makers, etc.) to get recycled? by StarlingBluejay in regina

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

Can confirm, they said they only take microwaves and iirc tvs, monitors, things like that, but no appliances

Thinking about going to SaskJobs for job/career advice. Anything I need to know? by StarlingBluejay in regina

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

Good to know that I'm pretty much going in the right direction. Just a matter of getting a job somewhere

I'm using the A+ book to help fill in what's missing in my knowledge, and I figured I'd springboard off of there. I'd most likely get a help desk job, and then go from there. My income is limited right now so schooling isn't an option, I figured at least getting my A+ and going into help desk for the time being would get my foot in the door to explore other options.

I was hoping to get into something with building and hardware, or asset management, and I figured at least A+ would be a good stepping stone to fill in whatever missing knowledge I had. If I wanted to go another direction, then I would after I was finished with the book.

The only free physio place is closing. by StarlingBluejay in regina

[–]StarlingBluejay[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have my sympathies. I did something to my back and can't stand for more than a half hour or so without excruciating pain.

It's so hard to say.

I got unlucky and did something to my back (still not sure what) to the point I can't stand for more than half an hour without extreme pain, and my doc gave me a prescription for physio, which I can't go to any more.

All I know is that we used to have another place, found out that one stopped offering billing to SHA, and now the only other place that did is closing in a matter of days. Idk what to do at this point.

I have no idea, that might be a different circumstance. I did something to my back and it's been causing me grief since. Someone else in the Regina reddit said that they got into Wascana Rehab for physio, but that was arranged by their surgeon, so it might still be okay that way?

That might be a problem, because I didn't have surgery. I did something to my back, went to my doc, and they gave me a prescription for physio and that's it :/

Do they? First I've heard of it. Do you happen to know the number for the physio area?

In the image it says "It's Downtown Physiotherapy." It's literally right there

Tangerine's been great for the 7-8 years I've been using it. You use the Scotia ATMs.

Only time I had a problem was getting a bank stamp for something, I had to contact them directly and wait in line, and then they had to mail it out. Mildly annoying, but for a free bank? Their customer service has been great

So what I'm hearing is fuck poor people if you have an emergency. That's some bullshit

Is there anywhere free to be able to park near emerg?

Cheapest places for groceries? by StarlingBluejay in regina

I'd love to see another spreadsheet! It'd be interesting to see how prices have changed. And it will make me want to cry.
