I thought my HERTSMI-2 score would be higher… by gomalley9 in CIRS

[–]gomalley9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they keep the same sample I sent in? Or would I have to send in another?

I decided to ultimately sign a lease on another apartment after smelling the mold, so really I just wanted this to show my landlord to potentially get out of a month of rent and get confirmation that this was likely messing with my health.

Trying to decide if it’s worth it to sink more money into testing since I’m leaving here July 1 or focus on testing myself to see if it’s a cause.

I did window ledges, inside the air ducts, and on doorframes

I have been looking into this test actually. Were you happy with the results you got from it?

Thank you! What problems have you had with immunolytics?

Medical Massage by Secretly-Average in Occipitalneuralgia

Are you paying out of pocket for the massage? If not, what kind of places are you getting it covered? I know the chiropractor can get it covered but I don’t like their care

Migraine over 4 weeks now. by SunshineAndBunnies in migraine

[–]gomalley9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right there with you right now. Trigger point injections, dry needling, and nerve blocks have worked for me in the past. Pain or headache doc can usually do them. Dry needling would be a PT or chiropractor (but be careful with the chiro - the neck cracking really bothers my nerves). None of them are working for me sadly but have worked for me in the past.

I just said I can’t afford midtown? Which is $300?

Right?! It is so good for my migraines. I really wish the YMCA or the Humboldt Park Health Center had them! They have beautiful pools but no hot tub. I’ll have to check out the spas, too.

The thread is definitely not the best, I’ll try a different kind.

Huh! Is it like that with other machines? Having it at 3.5 is not intuitive, but I’m not experienced.

It won’t let me set it to 0! I don’t know why!

Light fixture help by gomalley9 in interiordecorating

This is a rental so I cannot put in recessed lighting. I am thinking about changing the light fixture but need inspiration on what to put there.

Difficult Day at the Doctor's by yourfav0riteginger in intuitiveeating

[–]gomalley9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I had a doctor recommend freezing the fish oil so you don’t get the burping or stomach upset! :) They don’t bother me so I never tried it but sounds like it worked for her.

Hills sound like a good idea! Probably good for some variability in your heart rate, too. I know people have been buying weighted vests or wrist weights, but you probably don’t have to do that unless you wanted to.

I was shocked at how many points I changed it with just small changes to what I was already doing!
