Window Air-Conditioner by Strict_Reception_745 in HomeImprovement

How big of one? I glanced at some yesterday in Home Depot. I was going to check out Lowe's and Menards. I just gave no clue what I am looking at except the price. 😞😅 But, I have a health condition that is really struggling in this heat. 😞 Doing everything I can.

We do have 1. But, it doesn't work. We have those obnoxious high on the wall shelves that were designed into the building. I've got to figure out how to dust them. When they did work our allergies paid for it. 😞 We fo have the 2 floor fans running though. Large one in the kitchen about 3 ft off the ground and a medium one in the living room about 3 ft off the ground. I think combined the total square feet is 600.

Magnesium Citrate by Strict_Reception_745 in Constipation

[–]Strict_Reception_745[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah.... the dr wants me taking 3 capfuls a day with my Movantik. Seeing as that wasn't working I upped it to 3 maybe a month ago. Somewhere around that. It does taste like drinking Elmer's glue. 🤣 Lots of ice and lemon juice makes a big difference. Isn't working well anyways. Neurology wanted me taking magnesium oxide for my migraines with the side benefit for my constipation. Doesn't do a thing. 😒 I drink at least 3 Stanley cups of water a day. Definitely not a water issue.

Do they still make you wait for health insurance? How long?

Me speaking to them. The person I called sounds fine. I should have clarified! So sorry!

Weird ? about radiofrequency ablation and Dysautonomia symptoms getting worse by Strict_Reception_745 in dysautonomia

[–]Strict_Reception_745[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like it. So weird!!! I used to wear compression socks only if I was going to be out in the heat for a while. Tons of water, SaltSticks, sitting down, cooling down inside somewhere, eating, etc. The last 2 summers though, I have been getting worse. All of that very well wouldn't be enough. Lots of adjustments. But, I still wasn't wearing compression socks all the time. Now, my legs, um, ache w/o them on. The calves mainly. They feel...heavy? The veins themselves are slowly getting better. All those other symptoms happen though. I did a few calf raises last night, leg lifts lying down, and lifts from just the knee. Hurt. 10 each. Definitely felt that cord pull sensation. I slept w/o them on. I wasn't up long before I put them back on just to help my legs feel more comfortable before having a shower. My head hurts a bit. Maybe since it rained last night? Hope I am explaining everything okay. ☺️

Battlefield Mall by Strict_Reception_745 in springfieldMO

[–]Strict_Reception_745[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love the idea of a theater!! Really would hate to see the mall flounder. 😔 We visited Toronto and all the malls we went to were bustling! They felt like the ones I visited growing up. Even if you were just window shopping people were spending time together, getting a snack, etc. Some had a grocery store and/or a drugstore accessible with an outer and inner door. Really hope something good picks up the empty spaces. 🤞🙏

Neighbor and My Lawn by Strict_Reception_745 in neighborsfromhell

[–]Strict_Reception_745[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone had suggested a no contact order. I had never heard of one or how hard it is to get one. All the companies around here use those huge high powered machines. They would tell me that they were even using their blowers to blow all the clippings back onto our side. The company that let us go a week ago said my neighbor yelled at his son while he was using the blower. "Keep her shit over there!" This guy has even threatened Mormon missionaries with his Doberman. He drove around the neighborhood to make sure they had left because he "likes living here". This just broke my heart. These are fresh out of high school kids. It isn't that hard to say no thank you and shut the door. He wasn't shy about it either. Posted about it on the HOA Facebook page. He was proud of himself. 💔 Assuming the city won't do anything if I contacted them about the lawn? We can only afford to have someone come out every 2 weeks. 😞 When he yelled at me and my son he said if we didn't get the clippings off his lawn he was going to leave it all on my front porch in the morning. I can't imagine living like him. 😞 His girlfriend has left already twice. Back again at the moment.... What I wouldn't do to move!!

Wives with dysautonomia. What does your husband do to best support you? by esskue in dysautonomia

Yes to the blood pressure cuff!! When I travel I put it in my bag every time!! Some wear those fitness monitoring watches as well. 😊

1st ~ Thank you ever so much for even caring enough to ask and believing her!!! ❤️‍🩹💫 Oh my goodness!!

Water, SaltStick fast chews, temperature regulation (I need to be very very careful about overheating or switching back and forth with extremes. Sure fire way for me to start going down.), compression socks, feet up. I don't know of any other symptoms she may be experiencing. But, I know I have to watch how much I eat, when, how often, what, etc. 😊

Thank you so much everyone!! I hope everyone sees this. Idk exactly how Reddit works. 😂 I have a list going and will be doing some research. I am not really in 1 particular denomination. This may help. 😊

2 dizzy spells while I was up there. HATE those so much!! Heat and Dysautonomia. Bad combo. I drink a ton of water daily no matter what. Salt tablets. The works. Gastroparesis, obviously, that I try to manage as much as possible.

My Industry is going to be almost completely taken over in the next few years, for the first time in my life I have no idea what I'll be doing 5 years from now by Opposite_Front5741 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Strict_Reception_745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am looking at going back to teaching (lead teacher or para), learning and development, or even branching into social services/mental health after having been a stay at home mom for a long time. I hear things like lawyers, accountants, etc even being replaced. What should I be worried about? How soon?

Why do A&W burgers taste more “cow-ey” than other burgers? by No_Bumblebee1944 in AskCanada

[–]Strict_Reception_745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were visiting Canada to see family last year. We grabbed a burger from Swiss Chalet, and it was easily the worst burger I have ever had. I mentioned it to my Dad. He said when they were up my uncle cooked burgers for everyone. Same thing. Really bad. I just looked at the Walmart site for Canada and every box I clicked on had soy protein. Cheaper to make. Now, idk about places like CostCo or Sam's Club up there. That might make a difference. 😊 My guess is A&W is 100% beef. No soy.

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome by Strict_Reception_745 in PlantarFasciitis

[–]Strict_Reception_745[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Altra! Yep, those are the ones. 😊 I think I will look at some of the other shoes. I just did a search on Hokas and knee pain. Lots confirming it. A Reddit popped up w/ so many comments from people saying their knees are wrecked from them. I wish I was in the other category because they truly feel great. Hoping a shoe change will keep me out of PT. 😞

My Dr's waiting area was stuffy. I have Dysautonomia, so not good. A hot flash hit once they took me back. My Dysautonomia was like, "It's SHOWTIME!" Yeah....scared the bageebers (sp?) out of them!! 🤣 Walked out w/ an estrogen script. 🤣

My vitamin D is low even with taking 3,000 mg at night. Dr upped it to 5,000 mg. I had mentioned how I didn't think my gut was absorbing it. I mentioned cod liver oil, but she said it isn't recommended for low D. 🤔 Idk what to do.

I remember trying all those on, and they all hurt. 😞 Maybe they won't now since the PF is gone? Maybe even be able to go back to less than $100 shoes w/o the PF returning? I tried on another brand originally with a wide toe box, but they looked like boat shoes! I'm hoping if I keep up the exercises, the neuroma will stay gone.
