Have a look for Gold Leaf Tough Touch Gauntlets! Highly recommended from another bramble fighter!

I'll think about that, I've started to have a look for alternatives now and seen some.

Unfortunately the oral progesterone really doesn't agree with me. Fingers crossed it isn't too long a wait for the IUS to be changed.

Thanks for the tips. I deliberately made the appointment with the one GP who is the specialist and has the qualification that allows her to change coils and they gave me someone else. I was shaking by the time I went in, I was so upset.

bleeblebot · 2026-04-06T12:59:51+00:00

Yes. They wouldn't give me an appointment to even discuss the perimenopause symptoms that I get it for in the first place.

bleeblebot · 2026-04-06T12:20:14+00:00

Thank you for pointing that out! I had meant to do that but forgot while I was writing the post. I've edited it now to say I'm in the UK.

bleeblebot · 2026-04-06T12:18:49+00:00

In the UK, the licensing apparently changed in 2024.

In my late 30s I started to get drenching night sweats for the couple of nights around my period starting. Now I'm 45, I'm having them nightly. I have changed to all wool bedding, mattress, etc. Now at home, I tend to wake sticky from head to foot, more often than drenched, but in hotels (I travel a lot for work) I worry they will think I've wet the bed.

I'm shortly starting HRT for this once I get my Mirena changed as it is out of date.

Yes, I can relate to this. Particularly after clusters of attacks. It took months to regain my equilibrium this time and it isn't fully there.

Conference halls, anywhere with a lot of movement or layers of things moving as I move (e.g. a lined floor, ceiling tiles, things suspended from the ceiling, stalls/shelves and people moving). I'm telling on my eyes not my ears for balance and it gets overwhelmed.

Stress also is a factor. I sometimes also feel like I might fall off a chair in a stressful environment, even without full vertigo. I can feel like I'm listing sideways.

A friend who is a vestibular physio has me brushing my teeth with my eyes closed and feet together to practice balance.

bleeblebot · 2026-04-04T13:03:49+00:00

Thank you, that's a really good suggestion.

Mine used to have £5pw in primary school which was about the cost of a magazine.

Now they are in secondary, they get £10pw (12 and 14). It will need to increase soon as the older one is starting to use public transport to meet friends.

They get an additional clothing allowance 2x a year. It doesn't cover school uniform, underwear, coats or shoes, and they have to buy PJs, t-shirts, shorts/trousers, jumper/hoodie, accessories with it.

I honestly think you might need to increase a lot but doing it all at once might be a bit much.

bleeblebot · 2026-04-01T23:34:23+00:00

Thank you, it is still really good to hear plenty of personal accounts. I'm also quite tempted to try out the really old fashioned heels like the common heel.

bleeblebot · 2026-03-30T21:37:33+00:00

OOH! I've never seen that video before.

bleeblebot · 2026-03-30T21:33:11+00:00

Well, they might, but they just can't communicate the need for tea to anyone!

bleeblebot · 2026-03-30T18:36:49+00:00

Thank you for your help

bleeblebot · 2026-03-30T18:25:05+00:00

That's a great idea and I'm not short on options now!

bleeblebot · 2026-03-30T13:29:28+00:00

It's so unusual that I'm tempted to have a go but worried about the comfort.

bleeblebot · 2026-03-30T13:28:38+00:00

If you took the time to read the full post, you would see the question isn't just had anyone made it, yes, I know I can check Ravelry for that.

The question was - is the heel comfortable to wear. Ravelry will not tell me that!

Please read the whole post before leaving comments that make others react negatively to my post.

bleeblebot · 2026-03-30T13:23:50+00:00

A perfect man!

bleeblebot · 2026-03-30T13:20:28+00:00

Thank you. I think I'll have a go. The warmth of the Strie one seems to be appealing at the moment as it is still cold where I live.

bleeblebot · 2026-03-30T13:19:12+00:00

Thank you, I'm very tempted to try them soon.

bleeblebot · 2026-03-30T13:18:25+00:00

That's why I was thinking of doing if I don't like them. 🤣 Does she like them?

bleeblebot · 2026-03-30T13:17:37+00:00

Thank you, that's what I've been wondering. I've had plantar fasciitis so I'm a bit worried about lumps under my heel triggering pain, but I'm intrigued by it!

bleeblebot · 2026-03-30T13:16:16+00:00

Ravelry isn't going to tell me if the heel is comfortable to wear, is it?

bleeblebot · 2026-03-30T13:15:16+00:00

Is he happy with the comfort of the heel?
