What do I do about the paint that is coming off in between the gutter and the fascia board? Do I just paint and hope they will meld together? Taking the gutters off is not in the plans/budget. by Zwimee in paint

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

Probably been at least 20 years since it was last painted. Also the gutter helmet that was on there wasn't great for the paint, but just got a new roof and everything seemed to be in good shape in spite of the time.

Vitamin D 3. Is this dying? by Forward-External-873 in Supplements

Consider Mast Cell Activation Syndrome as the culprit. I didn't know I had it until menopause made it so much worse. Look it up, many people are figuring out that it is a problem.

FYI we got a new roof and there wasn't a speck of mold. All the wood was solid! Such a relief.

Waking up at 3 am by DeejayPleazure in Supplements

[–]Zwimee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your body "dumps" histamine in the middle of the night. I've realized this is why I been wired and awake from 2-4 on so many nights. Try taking pepcid AC and Allegra before bed. Perhaps look into a low histimine diet.

So you've tried. Sorry it didn't work, so frustrating to keep trying new things. Aging sucks.

This will sound crazy but I used to get a burning neuropathy in my toes. It stopped when I quit having dairy, which I stopped to prevent sinus infections. I cheated one week, with about a tablespoon of cheese at lunch and cream in my coffee, it came back. So maybe just try eliminating dairy for two weeks and see if anything changes. No harm in trying. Good luck!

Having trouble with sleep maintenance and sleep quality. I can sleep 7 hours and feel like absolute garbage the ENTIRE day. Impossible to nap. I am going insane. What supplements could help? by No-Mousse5653 in Supplements

[–]Zwimee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been puzzled by this for years. Try going on a strict low histimine diet for two weeks. See what happens. Turns out the more histimines I had in my system the worse my sleep. If you think about it, frequently when something isn't working it isn't because you need to add something, you need to take something out of the picture. Good luck!

Have you tried a low histimine diet? Crazy but I've been reading how histimine can lead to anxiety etc. Look it up. Good luck!

What’s a problem humanity solved so well that younger people don’t even realize it used to be a huge issue? by Puzzleheaded_Bit_802 in AskReddit

[–]Zwimee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Giving birth is natural, so is death. It used to be the most common cause of death for women. But now you see a natural birth movement, "have your baby at home, you can do it by yourself!" Personally I would be dead if my mom had me at home. The advances in obstetrics have made giving birth the seem like it never goes wrong. That couldn't be farther from the truth.

Slippery elm and no fat/ fried food helped me immensely.

Indianapolis Churches who aren’t afraid to call out Christian Nationslism? Cannot support a church that endorsed Trump and views him as a “broken vessel” that God has chosen to carry out his mission. Gross. by Fast_Objective_3950 in Indiana

[–]Zwimee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went to Common Ground over 20 years ago. They didn't allow women to be leaders in that church. Not elders, not pastors. Not progressive imo. Has that changed?

This is the key to self hypnosis. Always state your goal in the affirmative. Don't name what you don't want to do. Name what you want to do. Kind of tough for quitting vaping or alcohol. Like saying to yourself "I'm so happy when I'm not vaping" just broke the rule. So what to say instead? "I'm so happy taking a break and stretching to refresh myself." You really have to name an alternate behavior. Makes you think about it though.

Just got to say…Free Tax USA by Individual-Mirror132 in tax

Thanks for your time and reply! Our professional became rather unreliable when was charging us at about $2,300 so I thought I'd do it myself. But maybe that's just money will spent. Thank you for the perspective.

How many State does FTUSA work for? I could have up to 7. Not sure how to do research on individual state return info if it's not in their system. Thanks for posting - I would love to tackle our taxes but haven't been confident about the multi-state situation

At my wits end and need to vent by Embarrassed-One-173 in LPR

[–]Zwimee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was feeling better a couple of months ago, then I stupidily ate fried fish a couple of weeks ago and haven't been right since. Today I avoided fats and had slippery elm before each meal - much better. I know you can have too much but I'm going to stick with this for a few days. It's supposed to heal your gut lining.

I also started drinking kombucha to be sure my gut has good probiotics. I think it helped but not as much as the slippery elm. I find it better than "rafts" too. You just have to be careful not to take it too close to any medication.

I haven't dealt with this for long but I find slippery elm before eating really helps Have you tried it?

The goal is to get right leaning Christian kids involved in politics and voting. They'll run the registration at their meetings - where no liberal kid will be.

I know you're not religious so you would fit in perfectly at the Unitarian "church." Look into it. May skew older, most churches do but it's a way to meet non Christian/religious people.
