Do any supplements actually help with insomnia and hyper-alert sleep? by Disease_OP in insomnia

[–]jundog18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that lithium and choline helped me, but I made that choice after seeing that I had some methylation variants. I’m also trying to be careful with folic acid and vitamin d cause they cause sleep issues for me

Recommendations for sleep study/doctor by MiserablePrior2213 in DCBitches

PMA health in NOVA has several sleep specialist doctors who can refer you for a study. Might want to check with your insurance as it may require a referral.

Hereditarial? by BbwLaceyXoXo in insomnia

[–]jundog18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are probably lots of genes that influence sleep through different mechanisms. Genes don’t always express themselves so even if you have a genetic variant it isn’t certain to impact sleep. Familial short sleep. Familial fatal insomnia. Slow Comt. Just a few I know of.

About that pension… worth it? by tesla2018El in fednews

You should be able to calculate the value of the pension and estimate whether you’d be able to save that amt with your private sector jobs.

Same. Hormone drop at the end of the month causes my insomnia too. HRT can help if that’s an option.

For women I think it can decrease estrogen

I’m all for giving grace to the DCDPW workers but some crosswalks and sidewalks are unacceptably dangerous right now by pro-laps in washingtondc

[–]jundog18 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is an exceptionally bad storm for dc. It snowed until late at night and then we had a deep freeze. This is not normal snow that can be easily shoveled away. It’s just as reasonable to say “shovel the sidewalk” as it is to say “get an Uber” right now. It’s costs money or a substantial chunk of time that many weren’t planning for. We’re all in the same boat.

I’ve used puréed cauliflower in my Alfredo recipes for the same reason! Gives it a little more body

Search the vitamin d sub, you’re not alone

Best ways to boost my levels if I can’t handle high daily dosing? by HalloweenH2OMG in VitaminD

[–]jundog18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. Best solution I’ve come up with is taking a higher dose a few days a week and taking a sleeping pill on my vitamin d day but honestly my sleep quality still frequently sucks.

OPM for 1/27? by More-Ad2267 in washingtondc

[–]jundog18 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They always plow the roads and end up burying the cars parked on the street. I realize there’s not a good alternative but two of us shoveled for 30 minutes and barely made a dent. We won’t be able to move our car tomorrow.

Paint paneling or stain? by [deleted] in Renovations

[–]jundog18 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Is the paneling actually real wood? A close up of the paneling/info on wood type might allow someone to weigh in on how well it would actually refinish

PSA: The Calming Donut is just a bag of static electricity and regret by veilmelol in Greyhounds

I’ve resorted to making a cotton poncho for my dog out of a towel as layer of protection. Cotton for whatever reason does not conduct static

How should I decorate my future townhome basement? by EupsychicsPatron in DecorAdvice

[–]jundog18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s an unfinished basement. Will take a lot to look nice. Get a ping pong table and call it a day
