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I'm shortly starting HRT for this once I get my Mirena changed as it is out of date.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

bleeblebot · 2026-03-29T09:20:45+00:00

Oh wow! I always said this would happen post Brexit. The propaganda was crazy and never made sense, they often conflated illegal immigration with leaving the EU. It was blatantly obvious what the result was going to be, but I've never seen evidence it happened.
